The next time any of us— [ That isn't an all-inclusive us; he means, specifically, mages and rifters and maybe templars, but everyone can figure that out on their own. Or not. He doesn't care. ] —is in the position to make demands, I think we should make sure we have a say in which rifters go to which Circles. We could pick in turns. Like choosing teams.

[ That's all. ]

Sorry. "Them's the breaks"?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Yeah, uh, like. It means something like 'that's the cost of doing business' or do you also not have that phrase? Like. Sure, maybe later we can negotiate that not be a thing, but there had to be a compromise somewhere, and this isn't a bad one.

[ church she's from fantasy London cut her a slangy break ]

Right, that's what it sounded like it meant. Well, that's a stupid turn of phrase. In my opinion. Things can always be improved - there's no point at which anyone should ever just shrug and say, well, who cares.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Ha, yeah, I don't know where that phrase even comes from. I wanna say the 20's. Butttt dunno.

Everyone cares, I just think a bunch of people are caring in a way that is...less than helpful? To a newly developed situation. Is it unfair, yeah, but we weren't all gonna come out of it with pats on the backs and all. You keep working toward the goal, but I say take the victories where you can, y'know?

[rathercommon]

What, and talking about us like we're property, like we can get claimed like we're the last biscuit at tea - that's productive, is it?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Nah. But the way he's talking about it is just funny to me. Like choosing teams, right, like getting picked in dodgeball.

Man, I used to look like a nerd, and now I look like a jock? I bet I woulda got picked first in gym all the time like this. [He's getting off track...]

[rathercommon]

You've got to be aware that I don't know what you're talking about.

[ Which is a bit of an exaggeration. Kitty does know what he's talking about in terms of getting picked first for teams. As in, she never got picked first, either, because even though she was better then half of them she was a girl, and it's still something that pisses her off. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Oh man. I need to talk to Tessa and we should introduce dodgeball. Along with all the other sports they don't have here. It's really self-explanatory.
