That makes sense. Do you know if we're gonna be able to see the rankings pretty regularly? That'd help us figure out if we're going in the right direction for a tie...
If they do post rankings, I don't think it will take that long, with the competition only lasting until the festival. Maybe wait a week or two and see? If nothing happens, we could always see if the mayor has some information on the rankings.
[ they cross their arms, frowning slightly at that suggestion. ]
Now that would be a lot more difficult. Not impossible, maybe, but we can't guarantee that when we don't even know what the metric is for the rankings.
Yeah. It'll be a little easier to make adjustments once we see how the rankings shake out - we can compare what we did and didn't do and kind of get an idea that way of what would need to be done to catch people up...
But without concrete knowledge about it it'd be way too easy for someone to break the tie by accident.
You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Don't lose sight of what you're aiming for, keep your eyes open for all that can go wrong, and I think you'll do just fine.
Thanks. [...] I'm glad you're Nico's team leader. Seriously, I can't overstate how much better I feel about us being on different teams now that I've talked to you.
...good to know. Well, uh. I've probably taken up enough of your time for now, huh? [and we are approaching curfew time so i should probably try to wrap these threads and free you guys up] I'll see you around for sure.

[that's promising.]
You should probably know, then - I'm gonna be aiming for a tie between your team and mine.
no subject
For you and Nico, right? [ they nod approvingly. ] I understand. As long as you're both ready for the challenge.
no subject
That's right. We've made it through tons of challenges together - we're gonna make it through this one, too.
no subject
To my knowledge, the points will be based on what all of you do, rather than us. But I'll lend a hand where I'm able.

Don't forget to tell Aquamarine Fox about your plan. They deserve to know, too.

...I wonder if coordinating a tie between all eight of our teams is an option if we can't find another way.

[ they laugh. ]
There's no need to thank me. I'd never abandon my team. The most important thing is getting them home. And now yours, too, I suppose.

[ they seem pleased to hear it, though! ]
Alright. If you need me, you know where to find me.
