but also there is much to consider this day and upcoming night]

I think it depends on the bite. Sometimes it doesn't take effect until the next full moon--and it's always a full moon here, so that's the night after you're bitten. And other times it takes effect at random. It's hard to predict, but it's best to assume sooner rather than later.

[takes a breath and lets it out; still a little jittery]

In my opinion, there isn't a need to use them. But it's not like I can stop any of you from doing what you want with them, either.

[spinebuddyandme]

That's...true, but it's not like I want to make you worry.

[ Briefly considers arguing his point further, but faced with a visibly jittery Lethe he drops the idea quickly ]

For now, I'm just glad we all made it out of there.

[lets it drop with a nod of agreement]

I'm glad we had an exit strategy already prepared. That felt too close for comfort.

[spinebuddyandme]

Way too close. I thought we were toast when Charon started yelling.

[mykidisthebest]

Usually we've got a few minutes after Charon starts yelling before we're actually toast. But that's still cutting it close. I wasn't expecting...a gambling ring...? Whatever that was down there.

[spinebuddyandme]

Me either. I guess it was a gambling ring? But if all they have to gamble with is rations and supplies...that's kinda dark.

[shrugs a little]

It might be a way for them to pass the time. Or it might be all they've got. It's fine to feel sympathy, but don't give them too much. They would have seen us all dead and slept fine.

[spinebuddyandme]

I know... I'm not gonna start getting reckless around them. I just, y'know, don't wanna forget that they're people too. Non-human people.

[mykidisthebest]

[gives a nod]

They're people too. If I'm honest, it would be nice to find some way to help. Especially since it's not their fault that they're in this mess. But not if it comes at your expense. Or anyone on Lily. We keep ourselves safe first; that's the only way we can be in a position to help them when the time comes.

[spinebuddyandme]

That's how I'm thinking about it too. You guys are the ones actually counting on me.

It just sucks to see how hard a time they're having too. Especially when everything could be so much easier if we could work together.

[mykidisthebest]

If we could tie up Ceo and talk some sense into him then maybe we'd be able to come to some kind of agreement. But that would take a lot of work on our part...it'd be easier if Blossom was willing to work with us.

[spinebuddyandme]

Like that'll ever happen. The only way we'll get to talk to CEO is by beating him first.

[mykidisthebest]

Hhhhm. Well. I do really want to kick his ass right now, so I'm not against beating the shit out of him until he's ready to listen.
