Together, of course. She's on my team, and you're the one who found her.

[rocks forward once he's released, rubbing at his collarbone as he finally stands up. this is the second time today he's EATEN DIRT]

Besides, I think all three of us should be working together.

[pooling their resources!! expanding the role alliance!! . . . that sort of thing]

[concasse]

[Mmm. Honestly, Sanji wonders if it's wise to out his role like this, but... they can't tell other people, can they?

So it should be relatively safe...

He pauses, hesitates, but eventually gives a nod]

Fine. I'll follow your lead just this once, got it?

[survivaltricks]

[a huffed laugh, and Akira's response is a bit wry]

I'm glad you didn't when you chose who to check this week. We might've come up empty-handed yet again.

[but just this once. . . it should be okay]

[concasse]

[oh right... he did do that, huh.]

In your shitty defense, I had a couple of reasons for going against the grain there.

[SECRETS! Because this camp is made of nothing but secrets, right]

But anyway, you tell me the time and place we're doing this, and we'll get it done.

[survivaltricks]

[an amused huff]

She was my solid second choice, so it worked out. Even if my suspicions were kind of wrong.

[only kind of]

Let's find her when we're done here. But before we do, there's one last thing I want to ask you.

[concasse]

Sure, what is it?

[survivaltricks]

You know who Heart is, right?

Their real name.

[concasse]

... I do, yeah.

[survivaltricks]

Good.

[a tiny smile]

I wanted to make sure before I went and spilled Junpei's secret on accident.

[but he figured it was a pretty good bet to make, considering Sanji broke into Heart's cabin]

[concasse]

Hn, so.

What do you want with my boss?

[HIS BOSS, HE SAYS. Shut up, maybe Sanji's a protective asshole]

[survivaltricks]

To run away together, carrying him bridal style into the sunset.

[A BEAT]

[survivaltricks]

Kidding.

[junpei is a taken man]

I'm just glad that he's able to be honest with people, that's all.

[concasse]

You better be kidding, he's taken.

[SANJI KNOWS A LOT OF LORE, APPARENTLY]

Oh, I wouldn't say he's honest with me... Pretty sure I piss him off half the time, but we gotta work together, so here we are.

[survivaltricks]

I know. I can't even joke about taking him on dates anymore.

[SO DOES AKIRA. also Junpei is too old for Akira, even though he ICly does not give a shit about ages, I'm weeping]

And by honest I mean, it's better when he doesn't have to hide who he is.

[concasse]

Ah, that part I can agree with.

[With an amused snort]

He's a good kid. Puts way too much pressure on himself, but... that's how shit goes with these types of games.

[survivaltricks]

I'm beginning to think that's what they all do.

[he's talking about the directors, here. Heart, Winter and Shadows]

They all feel pretty responsible for us.

[concasse]

Mm...

[...]

Out of all of us, I'd say they got the worst roles.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah. They did.

[he agrees without any fuss whatsoever]

. . . it's not fair.

But I want to help them all out as much as I want to help everyone else here.
