dude you’ve been here for like a day
can you chill?

[transponders]

Not if my lack of vigilance means you get drowned, or mauled, or splattered out of a window! You should all go back and look at last year's autopsy reports, it's disgusting. After all we've been through, you want to die to an amped up parlor game? Not on my watch.

Luckily, I'm securing an alliance with the pirates as we speak.

[doped]

( girl i — )

the pirates?
dude

i guess it’s not a bad idea even if nothing ends up happening
let’s see what queenie thinks

[transponders]

What? That Koby kid has his finger on the pulse.

[doped]

he has a string board of who’s fucking who like a perv
it’s color coordinated. he posted it

( in hindsight, misty and koby becoming friends seems inevitable. and annoying. )

[transponders]

I know he did. On accident. It was very informative.

When I teach him about cybersecurity he'll be a major asset.

[doped]

misty

( DEEP BREATHS )

we’re friends with homelander. he’s the strongest guy here. he usually has fucking laser vision
there’s something

[transponders]

That's good! Even if the commune's messing with the superheroes. He's tough and respected. He can do the macho thing. "Hey, leave those girls alone!"

The franklin expedition guy is soft on you guys. That could be helpful too. He does a mean puppy eye.

[temujackie]

[ since shauna has been ignoring the chat since july, melissa feels compelled to tattle on her ]

shauna thinks we should just sit out

[doped]

shauna said that?
shauna. the queen of hunts

[transponders]

@ african.grey reacted to your message: 😬

[temujackie]

[ she has receipts ]

leftcenter: what are we supposed to do about a crazy murder game that a weird psychic told us about?????
doublebluff: i don't know! make a plan or something?
leftcenter: can't we just like
say we're not gonna play?? they can go hunt each other or whatever.

[doped]

( because saying “we’re not going to play” was an option whenever shauna called a hunt??? ok shipman. )

well shauna can do that
i’m with misty. ( painful words 2 say ) we should at least be prepared

[temujackie]

i agree

and i think our best bet is to lean into the fact that we're just teenage girls. like, why should anyone want to hurt us?
well, teenage girls and misty

@yellowjackie

[katharma]

Wait
When did u talk to her about this???

[temujackie]

umm a few days ago?

[katharma]

@ yellowjackie reacted to your message: ❓

[doped]

we're reaching a point where we can't protect you from what we did anymore

( least of all can nat — who's the sole reason why any of them are even in this position, talking about it. still, she did make a promise to shauna. it should come from her. )

[transponders]

She doesn't know???

[katharma]

Did I ever ask you to?

[ no. but someone else probably did. ]

I don't want to be protected anymore. For the record.

@doublebluff

[temujackie]

woah, wait a minute, what does that mean? like, who counts as a pirate, everyone who worked at that restaurant? because that's a lot of people

[transponders]

That's too many. I mean the core group that's from the same place, like us.

[temujackie]

so just the four of them
and what are the terms of this alliance you're setting up?

[transponders]

If they have any wolves, they don't kill us, if we do go down, they prioritize finding our killers, and if they have any special roles, they help us. And vice versa.

[temujackie]

do you think they'll stick to it?
