she is indeed. i'd say i'm not bad in the kitchen but there's being "not bad" and then there's "lup just did something insane with potatoes and meat and now you have a dish of it".
yes, we were on the station together.
... alternative suggestion: hiding snowglobes around the hotel. prizes for those who find the most. stolen prizes, naturally.
for sure. that dancing chicken knew what it was doing.
optional fuck one, thanks. but sure, that's the one.
who bonds over snow globes? prizes can be terrible if need be. i just want to see how many can be stolen and hidden in as many places before people start finding them.
everybody keeps saying that but that doesn't negate the fact it was a fuck one cause from your files it looks like a lot of you took the option, i'm just sayin no shame
and hmmm. that sounds a little better. maybe. passing marks, i guess could be better though but i like your creativity! your room work out for you okay, yuri? you cool if i call you that?
a lot of the indulgences worked out easier that way. work smart, as well as working hard, y'know? ... oh so you do have more detailed files on us then.
how would you go about it then? i'm open to ideas.
it's what most people call me. and... it's fine, yeah. almost like it was tailor made to fit my tastes. that intentional?
we have to know about the places you came from? kind of part of the job description? i read enough to do my job and to gossip, 's all i really give a shiteg shit about.
and wow! you're trying to pry a lot of info out of me, aren't you, purple man? bold. didn't even bring a tip!
kinda puts a guy on edge wondering how you all managed to snoop around picking up all that information in the first place.
i don't hand out presents on the first meeting. maybe next time. i'm not entirely sure how asking if there was juuust a sprinkle of emotional manipulation in our room design is a bad thing. it can be a yes or no question.
iunno, mockingbird, that's your thing, isn't it? picking up info?
look. i just work here. i don't make up the rules, or the knowledge, or the things i have to do. we had a lot of prep to do to get ready for you guys to be here, and to get you guys settled.
and i don't hand out presents on the first meeting either! so no yes or no answer for you. at least wine and dine me first! damn!
annnd why work here? given you all know what’s happening. even if there’s no reason to care about, i imagine working for someone who likes to take hostages makes things dicey for you from a legal perspective. or just a personal vendetta one.
well if i could get into the kitchen for more than three minutes at a time maybe i’d go and make you something fancy. alas.
I signed a non disclosure agreement! From a legal perspective that means mind your business. :)
and that's too bad about the kitchen but maybe you shouldn't be sticking your nose in the workers business there either. i'm just sayin, the more demands you make and the more probing you do the less likely you are to get anything you want. you know how this works! it's not your first strange kidnapping. rome wasn't built in a day and you've barely been here a week.
i'm hardly standing on the counters and demanding no pickles with my food. but as a general heads up, i don't think slapping people on the wrists and tutting is going to do much to dissuade people from snooping anyway. based off general experience. from my previous strange kidnappings, even.
hey i told you to go steal people's left shoes you think i give a shit about dissuading people from snooping you can snoop around this place all you want and you can keep asking questions if you want
I'm just not going to give you answers you'll be satisfied with. and then you're gonna keep asking, and i'm gonna keep saying no, and we're gonna go round and round in this bird dance of ours and you're gonna hate it, and i'm gonna hate it so it feels kinda counterproductive right now!
yeah! gettin tired of explaining myself over and fuckin over but thats alright actually, you're the first one busting my metaphorical balls and even then you've been pretty nice about it guess you're not quite a - whatever they called it, a karen? that hahahahhahahaha
for the other thing the guestbook entry for you's got "knowledge" on there twice, and apparently you've got a 15 for intelligence and an 18 for wisdom, whatever that means so that's just public knowledge!
yes, they are. a mystery until proven otherwise, then.
i feel like there's a saying like this. something about having the wisdom to know a tomato's a fruit, but not putting it in your fruit salad. intelligence and wisdom.
mmmmmhm. so, i'll keep my answer a secret. all of yours are blanked though -- do they look that way to you too? or do you know what's written and it's just we can't see it?

good thing she's the one with the kitchen privilege huh
there's a lot of you guys, from the station.
that's the fuck one isn't it
hahahaha
hmmm
that sounds like some kinda bonding activity and way less entertaining
but im willing to listen to your plan
no subject

You're smarter than that, Yuri.
no subject
but people are mad, so you're probably going to run into that loop a few times over. with quite a few people.
...
pfft does it say that on my file as well?
no subject
actually, you're the first one busting my metaphorical balls and even then you've been pretty nice about it
guess you're not quite a - whatever they called it, a karen? that
hahahahhahahaha
for the other thing

no subject
[ karen?? ]
the... numbers? i figured they were just general messing around, but they're direct statistics for the individuals?
[ there's a pause. almost like he's going to look at the book and then-- ]
... hm. that's interesting.
those are very different types of knowledge though, i would say.
[ because i, becks, have one braincell and my gosh it is trying. ]
no subject
they might be real, they might not be! no idea what the fuck they actually mean
mine are just boxes
but hey!
you're right, probably
what's the difference to you? intelligence and wisdom.
no subject
yes, they are. a mystery until proven otherwise, then.
i feel like there's a saying like this. something about having the wisdom to know a tomato's a fruit, but not putting it in your fruit salad. intelligence and wisdom.
no subject
ask lup, she might know
since she's "genre savvy" or whatever
yeah, like lots of other things. mysteries.
tomatoes, huh
i guess that makes sense
do you agree?
no subject
i guess i'll be getting a karen education.
in a sense. i agree it's intelligence is knowing things, and wisdom is knowing how to apply those things in the most beneficial ways
no subject
sounds like a smart thing to say to me
so there you go! do you think your numbers are right, then?
no subject
they don't look entirely wrong, but you're always bound to over or under assess a skill if you're grading yourself.
no subject
ooh, yeah
big egos or no self confidence, huh
you fall into either of those, mockingbird?
no subject
if i say i like to think i'm pretty reasonable about my skills, then it just comes off as one of the big egos.
so make of that what you will.
no subject
yeah, sort of a loaded question huh
no winning that one
no subject
mmmmmhm. so, i'll keep my answer a secret.
all of yours are blanked though -- do they look that way to you too? or do you know what's written and it's just we can't see it?
