Rodion and Gregor. I'm... glad that if there were any two people, I could pick, it would be them. We don't work for the same company, but... they're good people.
It's alright. I think it's a timeline issue. I didn't die yet, but in Gregor and presumably Rodya's, I did. The last thing I remembered was a monster attacking me and that could have been how I met my end in their perspectives.
We're from different companies and it's not guaranteed that I would be able to work with them. Moreover, my status as an outcast can't be erased, so the stigma will always follow me there. Rodya was the one who offered me to join their group. Even if it would be denied by the higher-ups, I really appreciated the sentiment back then.
[ Yuri seems fine with just talking about it for now, so she looks alright with it. ]
I was associated with a corporation that went under, since that was where I worked before. There's a very heavy stigma about that sort of thing in The City.
The most I could do was obtain a license for becoming a Fixer and hoping to join an Office. They're for-hire workers... some compare them to mercenaries. I'm just a contract worker, so I didn't really have stable income, if at all.

You two seem close.

... We are. I consider him family.

I'm happy for you, Throne. To consider someone like family... I'm glad he's the one who came here with you so that you wouldn't be alone.
no subject
Thank you. [easy, and then:] You aren't alone here either.

Your world seems a little strange to me, but you all navigate it very well.

... It's hard, but we try.

there's a pause. throné puts down the piece she was holding, and raises an eyebrow.]
... Would you like me to pretend I didn't hear that? Or am I allowed to ask?
no subject
[ She was looking down at the board, genuinely confused about what Throne is asking. ]
no subject
I heard a little of your thoughts there.

Did you want to ask?
no subject
I respect the desire to cheat. [genuinely, actually.]
I'm curious. But I won't ask if you're not interested in telling me. I know how to keep my nose out of other people's business.

... Interesting. I had thought it was just me and Temenos. [head tilt.] Is there a way to prevent that?
no subject
[ Like, yeah, shes talking about her possible death, but she seems pretty satisfied with it. ]
I've had many opportunities for various things ever since I woke up here.

What do you do, then, if you're unlikely to be picked up by the others?

I'm sure you're much more experienced. I'd like to learn from you in the future, if that's okay with you...
no subject
Really? [maybe a little surprised...] ... Sure. If you're interested. Don't set your standards too high, though.
