( 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.

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.

[doped]

( the cannibal?, she thinks, before acknowledging the same distinction could be turned around on her. )

puppy eyes aren't going to stop a mob

[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

[transponders]

70% of teen pregnancies are caused by adult fathers.

And a quarter of girls 14-19 have experienced intimate partner violence.

Lots of people want to hurt teenage girls. And the fact that we're so clearly tied together makes us an obvious target. You all more than me, on account of being here longer, but still. We need to be united.

[doped]

yeah
i’ll still go aggro on anyone who tries anything

( if one queen won’t step up another will rise to take her place!!! )

@yellowjackie

[katharma]

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

[temujackie]

umm a few days ago?

[katharma]

Like when specifically? When that weird poem was posted on the network?

[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???

[temujackie]

no

[katharma]

of course I don'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.

[doped]

jax none of us want to talk about it
you know how bad it was. you shouldn’t be shocked to hear it got worse

you know what? huddle up. everybody. at mine and quigley’s
@ leftcenter show up
