I mean, they probably— nah, definitely have their own reasons. It's just that whether those are good or justifiable or not is a completely separate thing!
[ magolor is ... also nudging the strawberry on his cake slice around. ]
... Yeah. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Like we're encouraging the distortion's appetite instead of feeding it, if that's still even the actual truth. But we haven't found much since that one trip Haruka and Zelkov made, not for a lack of trying, I'm sure, and...
[ that was... two weeks ago. was it really only that long? ]
Even if it's justifiable to them, no matter how you look at it, they really do just see all of us as disposable. I don't think there's a way to justify that.
[ But she gives a slight shrug and finally starts picking at her tart again. Obviously she's biased in this. ]
They don't seem worried at all, do they? Either they're very good at hiding it, or I guess... they were expecting this all along. I wish we had a way back into that lab. Or just a place to start, even. It feels like we won't find out anything else until they let us.
That's really the most annoying thing about this! [ a sharp gesture, a hand waving around animatedly in agitation. ] They're just slowly feeding us little bits at a time. Really, they have full control of the narrative, what they want us to know and think. What they're letting us.
And they're not worried at all by how most of us would probably rather toss them off the waterfall plunge if we could.
[ so that sure does speak of a certain kind of confidence. a huff, before he relents by delicately stuffing another annoyed forkful of cake into his mouth. eating around the mask is a careful affair. ]
It feels like they have no reason to worry. First with Merlin, and then the power they showed off on Skywarp, and when we tried to get to Crea last week...
[ Bluntly, they keep getting kicked around. She sighs a little, but it's not going to stop her from morosely munching away.
Also from being kind of fascinated by how he's managing around the mask, but. ]
You, too? I feel a little better just knowing someone else is frustrated, too. I wish we could just... I don't know. Ask Shuda to start blowing up walls until we find another hidden lab.
Right, they did stop us. [ no disagreement there, their showing thus far has been. poor. ] But ... we also learned from that they're not infallible. Zelkov and I managed to get things through before Overhaul put up that glass wall. And there's a tell, I think. He has to touch whatever he's reshaping.
Which means they do have blind spots or weaknesses. We just have to figure out exactly what they are, and how to manage to take advantage of them.
But haha! I don't think Shuda would mind if we asked him to do that. It'd make all three of us feel better, I bet!

[ Well, guess what group is paying for it. Psyche pokes the tart morosely. ]
One way or another, it has to be, doesn't it? We don't have much time left. It's more people every week. I really hope we're not too late already.
[ It's already too late for a lot of them? ]

I'm pretty tired of it, if we're being honest.
