DAY :33

[ Fatigue is the clearest sense that bleeds through when she opens the link, but it's not dwelled upon, just an old bedfellow grown familiar. In contrast, Misato tries her darndest to seem nothing but determined, confident, enthused. It's not a lie if she also believes it. ]

( Hey everyone. We've found a few things we can use to our advantage.

First, if you want to pander to the judges' preferences, you should go colorful, electric, violent, sexy and loud. It's no time to be shy. Miss Mystery hates forest green and wears shoes dipped in liquid metal. Saldo Saldo likes soft vore, shiny and over-the-top body modifs and, uhm, transformations, like ugly duckling turning into a swan stuff. Now Talius Rex loves exotic pets, the more human-like the better, exploit that, he also likes cute things and dressing them and himself up. You may have seen his pets around . . .

Sam has also found that the chips the competitors wear are tracking their vitals, location and they act as credit cards. We may be able to use this. I know we've got a few tech-savvy people out there.

Lastly, I've got some experience choreographing giant weapons, so talk to me if you want help with that.

We can win this! I know it! Let's do our best!! )

( My partner from back home's a spy; he's used to going undercover. I can just stick some purple feathers on him and call it a night. )

[ But he's teasing, and there's the obvious impression that he isn't going to do that, just something to lighten the kneejerk reaction. Clint may have been a spy, but Sam'd never even think of asking him to do something like this. Not after Loki.

It's a good idea, though, and he definitely agrees with her about having company. It hums across their mental link, an echo of fighting alone sucks. ]

( A couple of us taking care of keeping T-Rex distracted, you and Petre and whoever else getting up there to get as much info on the security as you can - hell yeah, we got this. )

[ Let's just say she has complicated feelings about the espionage line of business, which shows only in the few beats it takes her to reply.

And, fighting alone is ineffective, dangerous and, yes, it sucks. ]

( We got this! It's great hearing it from someone else. Some days it feels like nobody's buying it. )

[ The optimism, she means. Her brand of blind knuckleheaded optimism. ]

[ So does Sam, honestly, he's always the first to say he's a soldier and not a spy. And yet somehow he's found himself with a couple of his closest friends as spies, but that's beside the point. Point is, he reads a lot into that pause. ]

( Yeah. But Clint's one of the good ones. ) [ But then he grins a little at her actual response. ] ( Damn right, sister. There's a hell of a lot to be said for a great plan, but nothing ever came from fixating on how little the odds are. ]

( If he's on our side then he's good. )

[ There's no point, really, arguing over who are the good guys, not when she has come this far, crossed so many lines. ]

( And please don't call me sister. That was one time. )
