DAWON

[soulping]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government. In fact, you can now remember why you came here - to escape the misfortunes of your own country - because this is truly the land of opportunity and freedom. ]

I do. You're important to this team.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[dissimilarities]

Maybe. But I'm not helpful to the team.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[bloodbiter]

Nettle, that isn't true.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[dissimilarities]

It is, kind of.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[bloodbiter]

It isn't. There's a reason why you woke up on this team... You belong here.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[dissimilarities]

Yeah, but it hasn't exactly worked out well.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[bloodbiter]

Things will get better.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

It's only been a few days since you awoken, hasn't it? Have faith.

[ He's a little surprised but he relaxes ]

I-I'll try.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[bloodbiter]

Alright.

If you'd like me to speak with her later after the tension has faded, I will.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[dissimilarities]

I don't want her to yell at you.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[bloodbiter]

It will be fine, Nettle. She's a good person.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[dissimilarities]

[ I'm stupid and I don't get it ]

Yeah, I'm sure.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[bloodbiter]

Both of you are good people, even if you haven't been able to see eye to eye yet. Right now, Ivy is trying to do what's best for the team because she's afraid of seeing any of us hurt.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[dissimilarities]

[ nods ]

We'll make it through.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[bloodbiter]

Mm, no matter what.
