They're just personal notes that don't need to be out here for a meeting.

[unfriendliest]

...Right.

[ he clearly doesn't believe that, but you know, whatever. ]

What does the keyword "make" mean?

[gatonina]

...what? [???? help.]

[unfriendliest]

The mission is to combine us all into one team, right? Why do we need a keyword for that? Is there a certain way we're supposed to use it?

[gatonina]

Okay Ookurikara, I need you to back up for a second. Where did you hear this and what exactly did you hear specifically? Mostly because there are...a lot of things flying around. I want to be sure I provide you with the correct information.

[unfriendliest]

[ sighs. ]

Lili said that in order to win and save everyone is to combine the three teams into one, and that the keyword is "make." She doesn't know what that means, so our mission right now is to find out, and then find out how to make it happen.

[gatonina]

Hm. I see. [now they just seem a little bemused.] And why did Lili decide the key word is "make"? Did she happen to tell you where she got that information, or how it was phrased specifically?

[unfriendliest]

That's all she said. I figured who told her was probably one of the things she couldn't say because of the rules.

Is that information wrong?

[gatonina]

I'm just trying to figure out why you're all emphasizing the word "make" like it's a keyword rather than just a rephrasing of information you already had in a way we would understand better...

[unfriendliest]

Don't ask me. I told you, I don't know where she got the information. As far as I know, it's just a word. Why else do you think I'd be asking?

[gatonina]

Well you're right. It's just a word. It's not a magical key to everything, it's just a step in the right direction. That information is correct though. The three teams must become one if we stand any chance of saving everyone.

[unfriendliest]

Yes, but how? The only way I've heard of to do that is through some item, but that would only help one person.

[gatonina]

Broaden your scopes. If you start thinking a bit outside of the realm of possibilities, you might come up with an answer.

[unfriendliest]

[ purple has too much faith. kara is a sword, and he is stupid. he has no idea what this means. ]

...So, whaat, you want us to make something? New scrunchies for the new team, or something?

[gatonina]

No, do not focus on the word make. Those scrunchies wouldn't count anyway. Just...start asking around, see what ideas other people have about it. It needs to spread.

[unfriendliest]

The only theory I've heard so far is getting you three onto one team. But somehow I get the feeling that you can't get that involved.

[gatonina]

Is that like a gut feeling or is that just because you still think we're incompetent? Just wondering. [but, strangely, if kara takes a look at the bunny ears on his scrunchie he'll notice that the sequins begin to shimmer, turning from the standard pink to a golden color.

ooc: Kara is the only one who will see this golden color now! however, if he tries to show anyone else please let us know and we'll discuss :) ]

[unfriendliest]

It can be both. So am I right, or can you do something after all?

[ also i'm saying that kara is wearing the scrunchie on his wrist for once specifically so he can see this and i don't need to bother you again. he frowns and glances back at purple, holding his wrist up a bit. ]

Was that you?

[gatonina]

That depends. It's possible that we can, but I don't know if it's entirely up to us. [...there's a pause as they, too, look at kara's scrunchie.]

That absolutely was not me, no. But...very interesting. [ominous.]

[unfriendliest]

It would be up to us, right?

[ . . . ]

What does it mean? Do you know?

[gatonina]

I haven't figured it out yet but...I do believe that it's a good thing. A step in the right direction.

[unfriendliest]

...How are we supposed to work with clues like this, exactly?

[gatonina]

Perhaps start asking around? I know you're not great at teamwork, but...I think you're capable of finding information if you're open to looking for it.

[unfriendliest]

I have been talking to people. No one's said anything about a gold color.

[gatonina]

It may not be well known. You can't just quit after a day, you know.
