I mean the thirty-second surprise.
no subject
Mm. That detail. Given the propensity for torture I can only imagine it will be something bodily harmful and excruciating.
no subject
Thanks to Dagger's clues I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it will be.
no subject
Lucky for me I've had a dose of being stabbed multiple times with many knives. I'm sure it'll be wonderful.
no subject
And I've taken a rocket to the face. Have no desire to go through that again, or this.
no subject
You say that as if you have a choice in the matter.
no subject
If the CDC 'rarely' dealt in consequences without a reason, I would.
no subject
The long game is not your strong suit, is it?
no subject
Games aren't my strong suit, Devan. Politics, varrenshit, they're not what I do, and they're not anything I appreciate.
no subject
Then you better damn well start learning them despite whether you like them or not because this entire thing is half politics and half murder and most of the time it's hard to tell where one starts and one ends.
no subject
No.

I'm already committing genocide. I am not going to become someone who can't be trusted because they don't say what they mean and sometimes don't mean what they say on top of that.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
My job as a Green is to protect. And I will. I will protect, I'll remain trustworthy. I'll fight. I refuse to trip people up or manipulate.
no subject
Did I tell you to start manipulating? I told you to learn it, not do it. Learn the rules, then protect others by warning them of the rules.
no subject
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I don't even know where to start learning.
no subject
You watch. You listen. Everything that you hate so much about manipulating you will need to do. How do you think our kind get so good?
no subject
Back to what I said. I'm not gonna be that person. I'm not gonna do those things. I'll watch and listen, but I'm not going to play games.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
They make me in their image and I've lost.
no subject
Then all I can advise you to do is watch, listen and learn from the pros. I would say for you to start with the unit leads or the instructors.
no subject
Yeah, already had one instructor pull something. Though the Green unit leads aren't people I'd watch for this sort of thing.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
There any unit leads you'd suggest?
no subject
I know and trust my own unit and unit leads, but we Oranges thrive on intel. We keep in touch constantly.
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
Start with the blues or the reds. Reds will know certain things we don't, but blues will know of plans in advance or so I would imagine.
no subject
Asking for who plays games, not asking for who has advanced info. Yeah, Red and Blue probably have more of a head's up, wouldn't be surprised. But that doesn't mean they all play things.
no subject
Hm. There's your first lesson: be specific. Leave no room for errors or for interpretation in your words. I am one of those who plays those games and we will absolutely find loopholes to our advantage.
no subject
Why do you do it?
no subject
To survive. To thrive.
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
As a thief, I follow and I listen. I learn what I can take and what I can't. As someone who lived on the streets, it taught me how to be smarter than everyone.
no subject
Playing games made you smarter? Or did it make you think you were smarter as you gave people just a part of the picture and of course they didn't get the rest?
no subject
You are so terribly single-minded.
FROM: devan.isha@cdc.org
I never gave a picture. I simply painted around what was already there. It's not so hard to learn how people work.
no subject
I snipe, Devan. I make a nest, I wait for my target, I take it out. Single-minded is what I know. Hell, even when I was a vigilante I would hunt one target down and take it out.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I know I need to adapt. And I know how some people work. Thugs. Slavers. Mercs. Saboteurs, drug dealers, the people who seek to harm others.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Maybe if I start to look at them that way, it'll start to make sense.
