Desmond   "I keep to those who keep to me," Desmond answers.   "It seems you understand me better than I would have expected, but we are not comrades yet.    "Time will tell if your walk matches your talk, but for now you have my attention. If you have what you say you have, then you have my help, also, for what good it may do."

So... Conaldar and I made peace and now I'm back, if the rest of the group doesn't find my presence too objectionable.

I'm... not asking you to? I did know. I'm not complaining about it being there. It's just... not doing anything for me, and I couldn't really have known that til we got here. But yeah, I don't want to cause a bad time, so, off I go. Thanks for having me, and, good gaming to everyone.

Honestly I'm increasingly feeling like the entire prison sequence is nonsense. At least for me. I see it's working for everyone else, but I personally can't engage with it. I find myself just kind of waiting for it to end.

All I'm asking is that you not do this often. If that's really an issue, maybe I should drop; I'm in a good position to right now since I haven't had anything to interact with in a while anyway.   @cbenny -- Yeah I guess I'll have to save points for that from now on.

Generally yes; I don't enjoy having my character's actions, opinions, reactions dictated. It feels like it takes away from my agency as a player. Like I said, I'm rolling with it this time, but I would really prefer this be a very rare thing going forward.

I'm not fond of having dice dictate how I play, but I'll go along with it. Let's just not make a habit of these...

@Oceane -- Best wishes, really. It was great playing with you.   @Conaldar -- Sorry for me going quiet, too. I was originally just waiting on Hecate, and then got busy with stuff IRL that kind of ate me. I'm still here, but I might need some assistance getting restarted.

idk, I'm not really engaging with the whole prison sequence as much as I thought I would be. 

Desmond   He greets Julia's nudge with a nod of his own, adding his tray to the pile but not bussing them.   Instead he offers her a hand up, and perhaps a shoulder to lean on. It would hardly be the first time he's seen one of her fits leave her the worse for wear, so to speak.   "Which way do you want to go?" he asks. "We could go to the infirmary. At the very least you might find a bit of privacy there."

In Desmond's eyes, Insurgency is too loose an organization to have or need a leader.

I haven't figured out what Desmond's color should be yet. Suggestions welcome.

Desmond   "Scylla, must you...?" He sighs as she picks a fight, and withdraws from the scuffle to sit beside Julia and tuck into his own meal. Muttering under his breath while he eats, he mumbles something about 'serve them right if she gives them all fleas.'

Desmond   "A more ironically named man I've never met in my life," he muses. "I have to say, he's right. We don't make trouble the way he does. And you know what? I am damn proud of us for that. The less we have in common with a man-eating lunatic like him, the better I think we are doing, wouldn't you all say?"

It did the same thing the first couple times. I kept trying and eventually it worked. Thanks much!
