He kinda had a different story for every person he talked to. Like obviously my surveillance systems only caught the stuff near Peony but it was like. Whenever anyone implied he might go back to Lily he'd be like oh there's no need for that. I love sleeping outside in winter. I want to find myself. It's great that I don't have to do inter-team politics anymore because I don't understand them at all teehee wasn't he literally royalty. Perhaps I was chosen for this role of weed because of my ties to all flocks, a thing the snake famously wants his people to have.
In my extremely non-professional opinion, it sounds like he is upset about one or more things about the change, and is trying to make light of it to everyone so as not to distress them. It's a little...
[hurtful that he doesn't want to rely on Lily even a bit, after two months]
...unideal, but if there's truth to the statements he thinks he can do well with this and might be in a better position if he does not have to prioritize any single flock, then we should leave him be.
We've lived together for this long. We reassured him as often as we could to speak his mind and say what was troubling him. If his response after all of that is to treat both of you like this then maybe it's better for him to go cool his head on his own for a while. You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.
Anyway, it's not our job to teach him to be polite I just kinda wanted to warn you that he might ghost all of you as well and if he does it's not your fault it's him.
[it might not be normal to ghost someone you broke up with but none of them would know one way or another]
Whatever he decides to do is out of our hands.
[leans over to bump Aides's shoulder though]
But, thank you for looking out for us. I thought I might have done something wrong. I can't say I'm happy he treated you like that, but--we're all in good company, at least?
No, this...this is fine. Complicated is not ruined.
[a quiet little breath out]
We only just touched on it, but you should know that Lily may target teams other than itself in future games that demand it. But we're agreed not to harm Peony or Bluebell.
We already have an idea of how Peony intends to play in rituals that require a target, so it seemed fair to let you know how Lily will play too. Though I'm hoping it doesn't come up for a while.
[squirms in his seat at being considered free targets]
I don't think it was intentional. We did get hit every round last time, though. It wears you down after a while.
But--every ritual is so different that it's kind of impossible to plan ahead. We've still got to think on our feet, as usual. I don't know if any of the other flocks will notice as long as Perci doesn't say anything to someone.
[he says nothing in this comment but his expression shift over the idea of Perci telling people Lily's strat change before the team is ready is very telling]
Ananke and Scarab weren't satisfied with how things turned out with Rose either when it came up. It was...something I didn't want to discuss when Perci had been the one who insisted on handling it. But now that Leviathan is their shepherd it makes sense to discuss it more. Especially if Aides had to follow up with Leviathan on his own for therapy. I don't want him to think we're ignoring them.
Y-yeah. Honestly, outside of Angel Devil being as dramatic as usual, I don't think the Rose now would want to do something like that again. Which is all I wanted to begin with. It's good to start fresh.
[he didn't react to 'problems cat' but mostly just because problems cat has been largely off his direct radar for a while now]
Hopefully these shifts come out for the better for everyone, even if they initially appear distressing. Much like your own shift to Peony...Perci aside.
Everything is okay with Peony, right? It's a smaller group, and they all seem like great guys. After finding out about Perci...I just want to be sure you're not struggling with anything else.

That is...good to know in advance, yes. I hope he won't, but...it really doesn't look good, does it.

It had its uses, now it doesn't. We'll see how the other teams react eventually -- it's not like it's been relevant yet.

We have newer people on Lily too. They're not as...uhm. Sturdy under pressure? So it makes sense to adjust things depending on who's there.
Re: [day 58 or 59 sometime when they're all free]
Yeah... like it's still good to look for ways to change things, but there's only so much you can do if you're exhausted from being bonked every day.
Re: [day 58 or 59 sometime when they're all free]
[closes his eyes]
We should probably revisit what was arranged with Rose in the next little while shortly, too.
