Sooner than later though is preferred, right? [ he's iffy on many things, but he does at least trust phoenix's judgment enough. ] I'll buy a little more time just to be sure. See what other information we get from other places.
[ but there's a slight smile to that even if it's just out of instinct. ]
He did mention he would be trying to update you all, and I guess I'm following up behind him just to make sure. It's normal now...to have him working with me, I mean. But we have others who're helping us a lot, too. It's just another reason I want to figure out how to change the rules of the competition, or at least change who can win.
You have someone at your side who will always support you in any way that he can. He reminds me a little of my own partner, sometimes. [ but that's neither here nor there. ] As it stands, it still depends on the rankings. Gold Mouse seems well on their way to winning, after being in first place for so long.
I know, I know. [ he will work on it only because it's phoenix.
anyway he immediately looks embarrassed about that but brushes it off. ]
...I guess to be fair, when you told me about yours I was thinking of Will. [ he can see some brief parallels just in passing. ] I know he'd do anything he could for me which is half the reason I'm trying to do stuff myself, too. Anyway it's not like I think Golden Mouse is a bad choice to win, but it doesn't exactly help me reach my goals I've been trying to figure out. Unless they can figure out a way to make all of us mice, somehow.
So we're alike in that way, too. [ regarding their partners...
but anyway. ]
If they can shape reality, I suppose they should be able to do that, too. Or change the rules. I don't know. [ a beat. ] I like the phoenix aesthetic, though.
I think I've known we're alike in a lot of ways for a while. [ idly. like he's really considered this and this makes it easier for him to understand and trust where phoenix is coming from. ]
Yeah, I can't say I would really be happy being a mouse. No offense to Mouse. But I've been wondering that, too. If we got our hands on that book before the deadline of the competition and wrote into reality that we're all a part of one team, how would that change things? Maybe we should be picking a ninth animal like...I don't know. A lion? Something we don't have yet.
[ hehehe. nerd or not it really does endear him to phoenix a little more. ]
Of course. I'd like to think I'm getting at least a little better at asking for your help in particular. But I suppose I could stand to be better. [ a pause. ] Thank you, Phoenix.
[ and i will free us from this w4 thread mwuah mwuah. ]

[ smiling like it's their own little inside joke. anyway. ]
The only way to find out for sure would be to try, but we'd need the book for that.
no subject
[ except...he's kind of grinning, fuck. anyway. ]
Right. Okay. I'll...talk to Tiger about where we might be able to find more about it. See where we can go from there.

[ does the little paws and everything. nerd. ]
Sounds as good a plan as any. Let me know if you need a hand at any point?
