TIAMAT + DAWON

[soulping]

[At any time when they are not in the hot seat, PARTICIPATING MEMBERS may slip away to their dressing room. It's small and comfortable, with seats for everyone, and water. Otherwise, it's bare.]

[They will not be permitted to stay in the room when they are up on the hot seat.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[...well...]

[Water.]

[Drinking that.]

...Weeh.

[carptricks]

[he's long since stopped yanking on his bracelet, but he suuuure is ignoring that water in favor of leaning against a nearby wall, arms crossed over his torso]

[his brows are furrowed in displeasure, but otherwise, his expression is even]

[tatsumi_textiles]

[Ochre has one of his knitting needles out, and he's fidgeting with it, flipping it in his hand faster and faster until he fumbles, and it drops to the ground with a clatter]

...shit.

[zeroics]

[Dandelion, rather than contemplative or frowning silence, is going to smack his own head.]

Ugh!!

[evervigilante]

Hey, take it easy, old man. You need that.

[evervigilante]

[ He looks pretty calm. His expression doesn't seem to flicker or change or let on any kind of conflict. So far, he's just leaning against the wall, nonchalant. ]

[hyanaimne]

[just leaning against the wall, arms crossed, like everyone else]

[zeroics]

I didn't hit it that hard.

[evervigilante]

Then don't make it a repeat performance.

[zeroics]

Sakura's not in here.

[evervigilante]

Good. Less hassle for us.

[zeroics]

I don't know if that adds up, Gladis.

[carptricks]

[oh hey, Dawon he hasn't met yet]

Careful. Don't give yourself a concussion or else Nyssa might get jealous.

[he sounds SO DRY]

[evervigilante]

You want him to be up there, fighting for his life with us?

[zeroics]

[sighs]

No.

[evervigilante]

Then it adds up.

[zeroics]

Let her, it's my head.

[carptricks]

Ha ha. I wonder if she's even capable of feeling jealousy in the first place?

[that second sentence might be a dig at Nyssa's ability to feel EMPATHY and EMOTIONS]

[zeroics]

[except they can't confer with him when he's the oldest Dawon.]

Right.

[zeroics]

You'd know better than me. This is my first time with her.

[and he is EVER SO IMPRESSED.]

[evervigilante]

We'll just have to do our best, old man.

[zeroics]

Let's just hope no one asks you to guess my name.

[evervigilante]

I doubt that will be an issue.

[carptricks]

Tch. If you're lucky, it'll be your only time.

[he says, knowing that no one is that lucky]

[zeroics]

It could happen.

[he says, in his third ever game which is also his third trauma.]

I'm Dandelion.
