Hey guys, I've been thinking.

Do you think we should add our new coach to the chat?
It might be nice. He seems friendly :)

( on the one hand: the immediate instinct not to agree with lottie for anything, ever. not since the last vote.

on the other: homelander funny. also, unquestionably what she thinks is right, which generally wins out. )

i'm down
i like him

[involuntary]

He's cool, right? Kind of goofy but in a fun way.

[diarists]

are you on crack

[involuntary]

Do you not like him?

[diarists]

i like him just fine! there's a big difference between liking someone and letting them into the group chat, though!!

what if he talks about boring stuff? what if he tries to get us to eat well and lectures us about safe sex or something embarrassing?

lott what if one of us lets something slip about
anything?

[doped]

we just don't talk about anything. we make a promise
swear it with blood since that's the fucking langauge lottie speaks

[involuntary]

[ wow ]

I can see this, you know.

[doped]

am i wrong? i've probably drank a gallon of your blood at this point
which is just one of the many things we won't have to talk about after we agree

[involuntary]

You're the one asking for blood, not me.

I would have been fine with a pinky promise.

[doped]

i'd be fucking THRILLED for a pinky swear for once

[involuntary]

So ask for one then.

[doped]

you can't pinky promise over the phone dumbass

[diarists]

[she almost replies it's all their language, the only one they have left.]

okay. deal. we get our story straight for him. [unspoken: and for jackie.]

[doped]

we just say

we just say we got stuck in the woods because of a plane crash and anything that happened because of that we're not gonna talk about. ham up being traumatized
if he or anyone else pushes then they're an asshole and not worth it

[diarists]

okay.

okay, yeah.
we don't say a word about any of it.
ever.

[ jackie’s not sure she even belongs in the group chat, given how much time has passed since she’d died. but. ]

IDK.

I mean he’s nice but I feel like there should be a spot where we can talk without other people around here. I know we’re all in the same weird situation but how do we know who we can trust?

[involuntary]

I know, but like, he has good vibes, you know?

[ no, no one knows lottie ]

[katharma]

People can fake vibes, can’t they?

IDK. maybe we can do a separate one that does have him in it?

[involuntary]

I guess.

That's true though, we could. Like a soccer chat and a team chat.
Just our team though, not the people we're getting here.

[katharma]

Yeah exactly!

We should call them different things though so they don’t get mixed up.

[psilocybe]

[nat is okay with it but he's on the fence]

are we sure that's a good idea?

[involuntary]

Are we sure that it's not?

[ that's actually not an answer ]

[psilocybe]

[squints]

no? Lottie... We don't know who this guy is.
