I could try to transfigure the big box. I don't think smashing it first would...help.

[therushingsky]

Okay, how about this:

I've got this plan that I'm working on-- not just for me, but for everyone. The greater good and all that, in case this ship totally falls apart. I can't tell if your magic would be useful to the plan or not, so I'm going to go ahead and offer you one of two equally important roles in the plan. You can either be:

Official Team Magician

Or

Deputy Ideas Guy

[credere]

[what are you]

What's your plan.

[therushingsky]

[He's Head Ideas Guy, duh.]

The plan is both fiendishly difficult, and really, really obvious.

We're gonna build some escape pods for this stupid broken ship.

[credere]

What does that have to do with boxes?

[therushingsky]

Well--

I'm not saying that this is the plan, the plan is still being made, but, hypothetically, if the escape pods need to be multiple small boxes...

What are we riding around in right now?

[ONE BIG BOX!!!]

[credere]

[that seems like a terrible plan tbh]

I can't do that. It's too complicated. Quentin might.

[therushingsky]

Yeah, it's not the perfect version of the plan, even if we could pull it off.

Also I'm going to take your suggestion that we talk to Quentin as your first pitch to me in your new capacity as Deputy Idea Guy.

Pitch accepted.

[credere]

No. I don't want that job.

[??????]

[therushingsky]

Oh.

Sorry.

Head of the Magical Strategies Department.

[credere]

No.

Ask someone else.

[therushingsky]

But I want you to do it with me!

Why not?

[credere]

Because I can't. I already told you so.

[therushingsky]

There's more to the plan than just making spaceworthy vacuum resistant pods.

["just"]

And I sure as hell can't do that but either, so by your logic, I'm off my own team.

[credere]

Alright. I don't care your team is.

[therushingsky]

Did I offend you or something?

[credere]

No. I just can't help you.

[therushingsky]

First: You don't know that. You seen like a solid idea guy to me.

Second: It'll be fun and interesting, so just do it anyway.

[credere]

Don't tell me what to do.

[therushingsky]

I'm not telling, I'm suggesting.

[in kind of a tell-y voice...]

Anyone ever tell you you're kind of hard to read?

[credere]

No. Nobody's ever told me that.

[therushingsky]

I can't tell if you want me to leave you alone because you don't like me, or because you're super, super shy and don't like attention in general.

[couldn't possibly be both...]

[credere]

I don't know what you want from me if I can't help you.

[therushingsky]

I don't know. Someone to hang around and be confused with?

You just seen like a nice guy. That's all.

[credere]

...Why?
