Anybody would fight to survive if someone had the intent to kill, don't you think? I doubt any of us would just let it happen.

[resumed]

It wouldn't surprise me either. I just want to know why us.

[selfimmolation]

Maybe they're expecting all of us to be lunatics.

[ and they are! but not like that. ]

[selfimmolation]

Right. We could...

[ there's a pause as ace squints vaguely in the distance ]

I don't actually know if my powers count as subtle or not here. [ HE'S SO USED TO BE PART OF THE FLASHY CREW HE KEEPS FORGETTING ]

[selfimmolation]

So they want people to think they're still in control of everything? That tracks. [ of what he knows of government which is. it's not great. ] So is that a good or bad thing for us?

[selfimmolation]

Right. People wanting me dead isn't anything new, but they're the ones who brought us here in the first place. So what gives?

[spiritconsulting]

Good. Their actions seem to suggest they know they aren't invincible. They need to hang on to control.

...I know this is not going to be everyone's favorite plan right now, but I think there's something there, in this idea that this is all a show. They want heroes to root for, right? But the fact is, if they do root for us, then on some level they'll be disappointed if we're killed off or revealed to be villains or something. Or they might even be more willing to listen to what we say than what their mayor is telling them.

[selfimmolation]

... You're saying you think we should play along and try to be popular heroes or something?

[ ace doesn't necessarily sound wary about it, more like he's not sure that is something he can do ]

[spiritconsulting]

I don't think it's a bad idea. It's not like we have to sing their praises.

[selfimmolation]

... I guess not. I've never actually tried something like that before.

[ achieving popularity and being heroic wow what is that like <= he does it naturally despite being a pirate ]

[spiritconsulting]

[yeah he's losing his mind at this because ace is so obviously just innately cool.]

I don't think you have to put that much thought into it. I have some ideas.

week 1, monday.....again

[sociable]

[ everyone will get a text in the late afternoon. ]

ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please make sure way to the the establishment known as sew crafty

making friendship bracelets :)
please bring your jail clothes or at least a piece of it for this exercise

[ anyway. once you are there norma will be sitting there (im)patiently. hi. bracelet time. ]

[doghouse]

Guess mine's pretty subtle unless no food's allowed.

[selfimmolation]

Really? What did you have in mind?

[ he's so curious about this pr campaign ]

[selfimmolation]

True. Maybe you can leave apples on the ground and see if that distracts people, too!

[ that would only work on you, ace. ]

[spiritconsulting]

[yes this is important. he's showing up and immediately starting to pick out colors for threads.]

Good idea, Norma. Ah, by the way - what trading cards does everyone have? I was taking a look at the computers downtown, and I think I could make some extras if I get a snapshot on my phone.

[rizomata]

[rita shows up.]

... You want to make something with this garbage?

[the jail uniform. why did she even keep this.]

[spiritconsulting]

Stage some heroic events, post the pictures online. Make some fake Instawham accounts to start talking us up. Right now, it's all about building word of mouth.

[tongshi]

Oh, I have Rita, Adlet, and Rocket, now... I gave my Nico one to Will.

[ it seemed better suited to being in his bf's possession than hung's? ]

[sharkgirl]

I think that's totally metal. [she says, grinning a bit.] Really screw the establishment, we took your things you tried to bring us down with and made them something else.

We could shred them and use them for the bracelets?

[doghouse]

[ nods... ]

Don't love it, but public support's about the most important weapon you can have when you're tryin' to take down a big power. I say it's worth a shot.

[sharkgirl]

[she's here! she's going to immediately go for the charm buckets and start digging through them. where animals.

if you look at her too closely she is going to pretend like she's not that enthused about this but like, she is.]

[rizomata]

[looking up at the sound of her name.]

[selfimmolation]

[ oh. rummages through his pockets because he has cargo shorts and i'm making him carry items only when it's convenient to me ]

I've got Whisper, Kogitsunemaru and Chiemi. [ puts them on the table alongside a... little black dragon? ]

[doghouse]

Heck yeah, that's an awesome idea.

[ he's got his uniform in hand!! but just take a little strip off the sleeve 'cause he actually looks good in this and it gives him one more day of not doing laundry. important. ]

Been a long time since I made anything like this.
