When: Day 11, morningish
Where: Dragon's portrait
What:

[Today, scaled talons reach out and grab each of the Celestes in turn, pulling them into Dragon's cave. Dragon itself is there, lounging on the floor, the bones of animals strewn all around. It surveys them lazily.]

Celeste. I have a proposition for you.

Which would be better for us, in the end? Since, both could have benefits.

March is right for fucking once. Except! If other teams start getting this choice too. In which case we lose the power we tried to hold over them, and they know it's not an exclusive fucking thing, and that we were bluffing.

But, that's also not something that we can control, if that does end up happening, and we can't plan for the what ifs, when it comes to making our decision, because, I don't think he is going to tell us for sure if this is an exclusive thing.

But, they will find out anyway, if they pick us-- unless the Dragon says that we are one of the best cooks, so that leaves us off of the table completely, and leaves them completely unaware that we did something.

We've got a chef. Bunny-boy doesn't want to get eaten enough to go along with this a little bit even though his morals are clearly all fucking het up over it, he has to be able to beat some of the other fuck-up teams. And if the Dragon is giving us a choice in this, bets are we can tell him not to say we're the best, as a goddamn smokescreen. Reward for helping out.

So, we have enough cover, if we do decide to go that route. And, if we do that, I think we are... probably good enough at keeping secrets? Or, I hope so, at least, so we could avoid being found out.

Yeah. My thoughts are we fucking hide it, but March wants the position visible as a bargaining chip.

All it's fucking coming down to is if you think our position is fuckawful enough now that there's no reason to try and maintain it, and take the risk.

I-- I think that, we still have a chance to fix things? Uh, or, maybe not fix it entirely, but, I don't think it is entirely unsalvageable, either. And, I think we might be in more danger, if we put ourselves on the same level as the gamerunners in public, because, you know how people see them.
