We're running out of time, Skip. For once, I haven't got a goddamn clue. Until they pick another name, or get proven right by the house...I'm not sure we can do anything. Seems like it'd be more strategic to put the vote somewhere else, until we figure out how the seers get their visions.

If we can't do that, our only other option is dismantling the vote. Sure, I respect them sticking together - but they fell apart once. There's got to be leverage for them to do it again.

Well. I've got the cock to back it up, don't I?

And you...you like him? How much?

[holyposition]

I'm not going to war against Koby, Hawk. If we're picking holes in their argument, it needs to be with evidence, not coming at them as people.

🙄😏

I like him. He's...strange, but in an endearing way. He's a wizard and a PI. I don't know how to judge magical power, but his hands are frosty sometimes. Said he spent a decade fighting vampires, but that he won't start fights with the ones here. I trust him.

[homosexuals]

I'm not asking you to. But what are we supposed to do in the absence of evidence? We can plead our cases. But I think we start with Shanks and Koby. Luffy's the big ticket. The others - they're in it for the girl. Or they were before, and I suspect if they want to be in her good graces, they will this time.

How do you get those things again? I'd rather just give you a real kiss.

When this is over - if we're still standing...do you think that's who you'll want to be with?

[holyposition]

Shanks and Koby have a thing. It's more than just hooking up. Luffy says he's the captain, but he's...
Well it looks like Nami's the one really in charge.

The face above the numbers on the keyboard. They have one that looks like me 👨‍🏫

Hawk, don't

it's not about deciding between you and something else
it's about knowing what something else even feels like
I learned how to feel real desire from you. but I need to understand it for myself without all that baggage (good and bad). I need to figure out what I want and so do you. but I can't do that right now with death looming over me.

I do know you saved my life the other night. And you stood by me tonight, fought for me. I feel good about that. You're not going anywhere

at least not because I'm telling you to

[homosexuals]

Nami's the brains - that doesn't surprise me. Did I ever tell you about the time we played tennis?

Koby and Shanks, though. Huh. What about Koby and Luffy - did they...?

Well, would you look at that. It does. I still think I prefer the real thing, though.

[there's a long pause between messages, like hawk has tried typing them over and over and failed to articulate his thoughts. he's exhausted.]

Okay. If that's what you need. What you want.

We can talk about it - when this is all over.

[he can't bring himself to type out if.]

[holyposition]

You're playing tennis again? No, you didn't tell me.

There's still...something there, but it hasn't gone that far.

Later. We'll have time.

[homosexuals]

Ah - just gave it a try out there once. Wanted to clear my head after we...after I had to leave. You ever played? You'd look real cute in those shorts.

Sounds like quite an interesting crew. Doesn't that get awkward?

I'm trying to make sure of it. You know - I'll do anything to protect, you right? But I'm trying...not to be so overbearing too.

[holyposition]

A couple times in college. I took more to baseball, though.

After dealing with Alicent's family, their drama is easy.

Thank you, Hawk. I know you are. That's exactly what I've been needing from you. I should get myself nearly killed more often 😛

[homosexuals]

Well, you'd look just as cute in one of those hats and the socks, too. All-American, boy next door kind of thing. Maybe when this is all over - you can come watch me play.

You know what - touché.

Don't joke about that. I came back before then, didn't I? I just...there's no point holding back anymore.

[holyposition]

Maybe I can. How short are the shorts?

You did. We just didn’t have much time until all hell broke loose. Will I still be able to count on you when this is over, or will it be back to normal?

[homosexuals]

Not obscene, but more than enough to make my mouth water. What do you think about that?

The way things are right now - not the murder or the fear obviously, but...this, us, together - I want this to be the new normal. If that's what you want too.

[holyposition]

I want to watch you play in them, then.

I think I do, and I'm glad you want it. But I don't think I'm being too hard on you if I say I've heard that before.

[homosexuals]

Yeah? Well alright then. Soon as the last wolf is locked up, it's a date.

You're not. I told you I'd prove it to you. I'm still trying.

[holyposition]

I'm going back upstairs. I'll leave it unlocked.
