[cicatrize]

FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org

Ask his recruiter. Or whoever decided our teams.

For what?

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

There's Steve, for one. We think they're bonded.

[cicatrize]

FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org

Bonded? They were friends before, if that's what you mean. Rogers is the only one I've seen able to back Barnes down from something.

[debts]

You wouldn't like him. He has occasion to be heroic.

1 - I am touched to be trusted by you, Dagger.

2 - In return, I am going to trust you with my life.

3 - In attacking Yuri without orders from anyone, I have caused a scene in camp. I have injured a Green member and could have hurt more in my recklessness.

4 - I did tell a story. A story that could be a possibility with infinite worlds that exist, but it is just a story.

5 - That said... I shall accept a punishment of your choosing for my actions in attempting to kill Yuri.

I also talked such a big game and delivered so little to you, Dagger.

[ ooc: Literally a thought I just had now and hope that it is okay, and if not, I'll have him say something else. ]

More like about how people don't care if they get this entire crew killed. A lot of them are like this. That pisses me off.

FROM: ghost@cdc.org

I swear we didn't have as much trouble with the horses. Am I going crazy? They were at least compliant. Sort of.

Don't flatter yourself.

What's merging like?

DAY 19 | FILTERED

[ladron]

FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org

i made devan.isha@cdc.org my back up. she's a goddamn star

we're playing the long con, so don't expect shit to hit the fan for a while

[ aka don't expect to hear from him while they're doing recon. ]

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

That's why we think they're bonded. "Friend" is a very general word in the human language.

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

How do you think I feel every day?

I didn't even ride any of those horses. This sucks.

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

Can he get the job done?

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

I'm not.

Merging is - I become you, you become me, and we become something else.

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

I love you already. You're never leaving my team.

[cicatrize]

FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org

So bonded means what, more than friends? A specific kind of friend?

[typeghost]

FROM: ghost@cdc.org

Half your team failed. I can only imagine.

[ Mission A45 though . . . ]

[ladron]

[ well, thanks for the vote of confidence, but ]

FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org

yeah yeah wait until i have the goddamn ring before you say your vows

i'm not on your team yet, red

[ he's still babysitting on blue. first supplies, now squishies. ]

[warriortype]

FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org

Like. Skin melting?

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

Like joining on a cellular level. Every part of you becomes every part of them.

Those who survive it become twice as powerful and whole.

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

It means bonded. Together. Meant to be one, in most cases.

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

It's never this bad. I don't know where I went wrong.

I hope other teams fail too.

[daggertype]

[ no buts ]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

Marriage metaphors?

I hope you didn't break anything on Blue yet.

[ladron]

FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org

you're the one who brought up love, man

and i'm not gonna screw up babysitting.

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

I've heard that before. I laughed for a long time.

Isn't love a good thing?

[ladron]

FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org

do you do this suddenly personal shit on purpose or what

"oh speaking of love, tell me about your feelings, seth"

[daggertype]

FROM: dagger@cdc.org

"Love," as I understand it by human explanations, translates as "utter annihilation of one's identity" to me.

Which is pretty personal, I'll admit.
