Now that you mention it, I'm not sure where the money comes from back home, either.

[ do not put crimson phoenix in charge of the finances. ]

So you're the type to let them burn their fingers so they learn not to touch a fire? It does work.

[ballies]

... how do you function?

[ b l u n t ]

oh, no. i'd be the one getting hit-- or grazed, I suppose? then they'll know to avoid that happening to them!

[ there is no way in hell she'd want a kid to get hit by a car. ]

[becomemod]

I do my jobs, and everything else is handled by others.

That's not bad either, as long as the lesson sticks.

[ballies]

[ that’s not a great answer, phoenix. ]

right? i’m a big girl, i can handle a few bruises if it helps get the point across.

[becomemod]

As long as it stops there. You wouldn't want to worry your leader too much, would you?

[ballies]

I think we’re long past that point.

[ a moment of silence for goat. ]

[becomemod]

They do get stressed out pretty easily, don't they?

[ballies]

it's cute. they probably have grey hair, but it's cute.

[becomemod]

It shows they care about you.
They are the sensitive type, even if they don't like to show it.

[ballies]

Aww... that's cute.
They're soft and squishy under all that exasperation dealing with us arguing... and fighing clothes...

[becomemod]

That's one way to put it. I imagine they'd hate to hear you say it.

[ballies]

they do seem like a tsundere, it's true.

[becomemod]

Tsundere?

[ballies]

hmmm, well maybe tsundere isn’t exactly it. gap moe…?

[becomemod]

What does that mean?

[ballies]

gap moe is something like…. they present themselves one way, but act a different. so, like— they look very serious and cold, but they’re soft and kinda sweet.

tsundere is coming across as closed off or kinda abrasive, but they’ve got a big marshmallow centre and soft side for some people.

[becomemod]

I see.

Tsundere fits them best, I think.

[ballies]

[ hehehehhe ]

Tsundere… that’s adorable.

[becomemod]

They are adorable, it's true.

[ballies]

did you all know each other before you came here...? i mean you've been here a while, and it's definitely not impossible to form a close bond in half a year.

but, y'know.

[ tama, forming the strongest bond she'll ever know in six months: i mean, word. ]

[becomemod]

Two of them knew each other from before. The rest of us met here.

[ballies]

oh, just fox and goat then…?
that’s pretty good though, it shows you were all able to get along just fine.

[becomemod]

Just those two, yes.

I wouldn't say that it was always that easy, but we were able to whip ourselves into shape when it mattered most.

[ballies]

i'm not sure if it's better or worse to be here with someone you know. better so far, i think...

i doubt in-fighting would've helped you for long.

[becomemod]

I think it would be good have someone. I usually have a partner, myself, so it's a bit strange to be here without them.

No, it wouldn't. And if it persisted, some of the others would have whipped them into shape, anyway. There was one in particular who never had the patience for that sort of thing, and I was right there with them.
