[cactusy]

You are the most annoying person here.

[ichoosefight]

Thanks, I've found it's very effective.

[cactusy]

That's not the word I'd use.

[ichoosefight]

Duh. The word you would use is "annoying".

[cactusy]

"Annoying".

"Bull-headed".

"A crappy decision-maker".

"Would've been kicked out of Parris Island on her ass".

[ichoosefight]

All very true.

But hey, I get the job done. And it only killed me the one time. I guess that makes you 7,000 times more stubborn than me.

[cactusy]

[Shaw snorts, and very nearly leaves the conversation there - they seem to have reached something of an understanding so there's no reason not to.

It's the memory of It's what a hero would say that gets her to stay on the line.]

You would've liked some of my old teammates. Too bad you got me instead.

[ichoosefight]

[ Late as it is, Steph doesn't mind the company. ]

I'd probably like you if you gave me the chance.

[cactusy]

I bet you wouldn't.

[She draws out that last word, almost sing-songing it.]

[ichoosefight]

Who knows? Stranger things have happened.

[cactusy]

I'm not really doing friends these days.

[ichoosefight]

That's the thing about friends. You don't really have to.

It's not a terrible idea, you know. Meeting up, I mean, not being friends. I'm sure you know already I'm headed east.

[cactusy]

Working together, communicating, and being on the same page is a good idea. We don't all need to be in the same place for that.

[ichoosefight]

No. But it's much easier for a group to survive in the wild than a single person.

[cactusy]

-- Any of you guys good with field medicine?

[ichoosefight]

Aside from me? I dunno.

[cactusy]

In an environment like this, when it comes to stuff I'd have to be there in person for, medical skills are basically the biggest thing I have to offer. And I'm used to working with actual medical supplies. If you're as good or better suited to patching people up with vines and mud than I am, then I'm redundant. My time's better spent working to break us out of here.

[ichoosefight]

Definitely not gonna use mud, but fair point. Just don't forget that all that boring survival stuff helps you function. I recommend not dying 7,000 times, to keep the brain fresh and... mostly in one piece.

[cactusy]

Don't knock mud. Keep it away from open wounds, yeah, but you can use it to cool a fever in a pinch.

[ichoosefight]

I think I sort of knew that. I have proper training, but it... ended unexpectedly.

[ When she was fired. And then murdered. ]

[cactusy]

Fired?

[ichoosefight]

It- well, something--

[ ... ]

No, yeah, that's exactly what happened.

[cactusy]

Huh. Same.

Poor social skills? Too reckless?

[ichoosefight]

[ Oh my god, stop hitting the nail right on the head. ]

Okay, no, it was not my social skills, and I wasn't really reckless exactly, I just-- He was-- We made this deal, is the thing, and--

It's complicated, okay? He didn't want me around in the first place, he just jumped on the first chance to run me out.

[cactusy]

You made a deal to what?
