Broadsword: We’re stuck here, get it? So clean up after yourselves - the Food Court is dirtier than the streets. This isn’t a bleeding zoo.
Salem: Lettie may see to it that it is-
Belladonna ~{@: Enough.
Soldja1Shot1kil: ha, baited.
H16h V0l7463: woah you guys are finally using my group chat?! THIS IS SO EXCITING!!
xX GLIMMER Xx: :) <3 Told ya, Amir!
- > I actually have something that could help clean up - Meet Domestik Drone.
- > I actually have something that could help clean up - Meet Domestik Badboi Drone.
- > I actually have something that could help clean up - Meet Domestik Zoney Drone.
H16h V0l7463: what do you mean you have a FREAKING CLEANING ROBOT
Broadsword: Fine. But Aoi turns it into scrap if it keeps me awake.
Soldja1Shot1kil: nah, target practice 4 me first, m8
Belladonna ~{@: Arthur is saying what I’ve been thinking
Clean up after yourselves
There might come a time where we’re using that food court as an operating room
¿Entendieron?
Salem: My, Lettie, have some optimism. We’ve a new player on the board.
xX GLIMMER Xx: right!? optimism! right! so, drifter, u have fresh eyes. what do u think of the food court?
- > Looks like there’s enough room for all of us to eat there.
- > Reminds me of something, being able to have a spot to eat for fun, almost.
H16h V0l7463: wellllllll ok, but if you see Arthur in there stay away. fair warning: helikeshisalonetime…
Broadsword: Amir.
xX GLIMMER Xx: ^_^ it is a nice spot, this whole mall is. and it’s ours.

Salem: Aoi means our jolly little Drone.
Soldja1Shot1kil: future's drone, u’ll b meaning. not mine, not ours
- > It was a gift.
- > Belongs to the mall now.
- > Next one won't be free if you break this one.
  - Soldja1Shot1kil: hahah figures
Broadsword: We’ve got enough gear to maintain. It’s yours, Drifter. If it breaks down, you’re paying for repairs. Or disposal.
H16h V0l7463: theAMIR repair di$count coming right up, but pay in coins please.
xX GLIMMER Xx: helloooo? feed it? the Question? i’m not sure how future… things work....
- > Nope, pretend it's magic.
- > Not a crumb, but some by proxy, I guess.
- > Nope, but Amir can probably make it go faster.
  - H16h V0l7463: 0v3rCl0ck!!!!

Belladonna ~{@: A relief
We have enough trouble feeding ourselves without another mouth
Otherwise it would be “return to Sender”
Soldja1Shot1kil: ain’t it right that u’ve added 4 mouths, tho, let? ur rats n all
H16h V0l7463: weeeeeelll *technically* 5 because there’s the giant cat that wants to eat the rats...
xX GLIMMER Xx: amir! no one’s eating anyone!
Salem: Pity.
Broadsword: Sol be damned, I can’t type as fas
H16h V0l7463: as memememe? Mememe? Meee?
Broadsword: t. STOP!
Broadsword: We’ve got plenty of food. I’ve counted. And I’ve noticed the lunch patrols: Quincy eats lunch first, alone. Then Lettie, alone enough, the rats don’t count. Amir, Fast eater, alone. Aoi and I always eat after Amir, but usually her before me. Eleanor eats last, always. Alone.
- > And me?
- > And have you been watching my schedule?
- > And I’ve only eaten alone.

xX GLIMMER Xx: maybe you could join me next time? anyone is welcome to grab lunch with me… i just thought everyone wanted their alone time…
H16h V0l7463: i loooove to eat, I’ll eat with everyone, 6 slices for Amir! lmao
Soldja1Shot1kil: well if Arthur says we’ve enough food, got 2 feed that growing lil boy
H16h V0l7463: HEY I think I’m actually taller than you so anyway so whyyyyy say that? then I could grow BIGGER! Ha!
- > If we all eat together, might be nice team moment.
- > I’d love a team lunch.
- > Who wants to be there for my first team lunch?

Salem: Team?
Belladonna ~{@: Team?
H16h V0l7463: omg twins? triplets? Arthur! you never said Lettie was the THIRD Nightingale…
Broadsword: Amir, I swear it, I know where you are *right now.*
xX GLIMMER Xx: count me in, D! team lunch! ^.^
Soldja1Shot1kil: soz, busy times. places 2 be
Broadsword: Drifter, it’s a nice idea, but we’re all busy.
Salem: I'll be there.
Belladonna ~{@: I won't {Convo. Ends}

To Rank 3[]

Soldja1Shot1kil: say a man is peckish…
H16h V0l7463: ha! hungryhungryQuincy. y'know i had a board game like that growing up, and i bet I could -
- > Team Lunch?
- > Offer is always open to join me.
- > It's a big food court, join in.

Soldja1Shot1kil: let me finish. say a man is peckish, but that sugar-coated corpo advertising vomit keeps playing in our ears in that food court. what would u say 2 me shooting hardware pumping the droning?
xX GLIMMER Xx: oo oo let me crush them. i’ll be careful not to damage Zeke!
Belladonna ~{@: ¡Ay, no!
I told you we might need to put patients there, from outside these walls
No shrapnel, no debris
I need space that's clean
Salem: Now now, dear Lettie. Hasn’t anyone noticed?
Broadsword: Noticed what, El?
Salem: It’s not patients that have surrounded the mall’s walls out there, but inquisitive citizens who seem to feel… safer around here.
H16h V0l7463: waitwaitwait. you mean we're... actually making a difference here?
- > Of course we are.
- > We are.
- > I like to think so.

Broadsword: We aren't a bad T
H16h V0l7463: HESGONNASAYTHETWORD
Broadsword: ...Team.
Soldja1Shot1kil: more mouths 2 feed... even if His Maj think's we're good n'cozy? not a good idea
Salem: I could dismiss them. It would take but a thought…
xX GLIMMER Xx: i can’t help but feel like...even if we try our best, why give the people a false comfort that we can save any of them? it’s not going to end up good for anyone.
- > What if it wasn’t false?
- > Maybe that’s what this is about. Knowing WE can change things.
- > The more people here, right now, that feel hope, the better.

H16h V0l7463: hmm, not to be a downer? but, I get the feeling we’d be inviting more people to the disappoint party.
Salem: But shouldn’t we tip the scales of fate? Even a tickle on the scale could be most interesting.
Belladonna ~{@: Sure then I’m the one responsible for runny noses and amputations?
My aunt always said "no big decisions on an empty stomach"
Let’s meet in the Food Court and discuss what to do
xX GLIMMER Xx: ooooh! team lunch!
Broadsword: Team lunch.
Soldja1Shot1kil: in. and ur all welcome for kickin' this off
- > I’m glad we’re all doing something together.
- > Let’s protect them and each other.
- > Thanks Quincy, thanks everyone. Guess it's bonding time.

- > Think of it like a rebrand.
- > I did things our way.

Broadsword: But how?
Salem: Brother, that’s the easy question, the harder one is why?
- > Because we're a team.
- > Haven't you noticed we're a team?
- > There's no future alone.

xX GLIMMER Xx: we're a team, yeah!
Soldja1Shot1kil: but what the game, m8?
H16h V0l7463: maybe the game is SAVIIIINGGG Höllvania! and we can collect NPCs!!

Broadsword: Focus. Is everything ready?

Can't wait to talk to someone about something other than Arthur’s fighting stance
Salem: Oh Lettie, we *all* know you could take him.
xX GLIMMER Xx: lettie? u mean it? u actually sound excited!
Broadsword: Right, I’m opening the mall. No turning back. No second guessing. Remember: it means something to these people to have somewhere to feel safe. But we can do better. Let’s have fun again. {Convo. Ends}
