Yeah, I've said that the whole time too. And I mean, if what happened this week was going to happen regardless, thank god we didn't confirm it, but. I don't know.
[ takes a sip of water. ]
...After Pickles died I asked him if he thought it could have been some kind of cat monster with a grudge against dogs and we both said we hadn't heard of any cat-related monsters here. Both full of shit.
Mm... I might. I don't know. I'd want it to be someone I could trust not to be too reckless.
[ and who wouldn't get on my nerves. ]
And it would suck if they didn't want to be with me either and I accidentally trapped them just by asking how they felt about it, since it would be pretty obvious why I was asking.
Almost feels like we should do some kind of matchmaking thing. Like, each person write down a list of people we'd be okay partnering with and give them to you or some other third party to review and hope for some overlap.
That's obnoxiously complicated though...
[ and it would be too embarrassing not to be on anyone's list. ]
[ ...actually there are so few people alive now that i don't even know who'd be on MY list ]
Yeah, I have no idea what kind of numbers we're looking at. I mean, I think... more than half of us are dead now, right? But I don't know how many of those deaths actually split up a pair, or how many of those already found someone new.
Well. Of the people who I know were looking, most have found a partner. But more weren't necessarily looking, or if they were didn't tell me, so I don't know.
[ he's quiet for a very long time while he thinks about this. ]
I guess... maybe I will. It kind of sucks never having anything to contribute but a camera app. [ ... ] And I don't want everyone looking at me like I'm more expendable for not having one.
[ since that was clearly why the majority chose to vote for daan over karlach yesterday despite his guilt being less clear. and if they ever get to a point where they don't have a clear suspect in the final minutes... he already knows how he fares in popularity contests. ]
[ that gets a little bit of a laugh, because yeah! that would be very in character for him!! ]
That would be my first instinct.
...But I feel like it's going to be easier to figure out it's a lie now that we're getting down to fewer people. [ and my profile already makes it obvious that that's totally a thing i'd do. ] If it got announced to everyone that I was lying to save my own ass and get someone else executed instead it would probably backfire spectacularly.
[ and this is one situation where he REALLY can't take risks... ]
So. Yeah. I guess maybe I can start asking around.

[ rubs his face. ]
I guess that's one thing I don't have to worry about now, but. Man.

It's an awful feeling.

Definitely beat my worst hangover, which is saying something. [ ... ] Also just feels kind of bad after watching that execution.

Though if you change your mind, tell me. There are always people without partners about. Karlach's partner for one thing - they'll be looking.

But we can each only know so many people who are free to partner.

[but actually that fear is one she quite understands. she always feared herself, that she'd wind up on the losing end of that calculus.]
It can't hurt to ask those you trust. You get three per week - and asking if they have a partner at all doesn't count towards it.

[so she. wouldn't judge him for lying. also this is a terrible plan for many reasons.]
If I hear of someone, then I'll let you know...
