[He was still learning this whole earpiece device, so excuse him for it turning on and there sound like someone was fiddling with the setting. Where was his far more technologically inclined smart kid to help him? Ah well, he did realize it was on sooner than later thankfully.]

Uh... sorry? [Chagrin tone.] I was curious about an idea, since I still consider myself fairly new to this situation. Here's hoping you all with entertain me here:

What does a sense of community mean or feel like to you?

[A beat of a pause.]

Is it friends and family? Is it gathering places and camaraderie? How about a sense of people uniting for a specific purpose in mind? Everyone here has their own agendas and their own interests, and, with no overt crime present at the moment, it's curious to me how we could build a sense of community around these parts.

[Interesting. He wasn't certain if anyone from his world aside from the snapping turtle would show up. He took in stride that she wasn't here to actually contribute to the topic.]

If he's snarling so loud, take away his ear piece. You chose to be his babysitter, not me.

[There was a pause as he cleared his throat.]

Throw the poro in with him and he'll stop replying to me.

If I wake that thing up, I suddenly have two problems.

[ Or is it three? ]

So, why the question? You can't believe a place like this can form a solid community. It's too transient. You could have a whole crew you trust with your back one day and be back to square on the next.

Two problems that will entertain each other.

[He figured she could lock them together and at worst, there would be the usual yelling.]

I'd rather try to build something than linger waiting for those I know to disappear. In case it isn't obvious, I'm odd man out from our world. My options are those outside of Runeterra... and Jayce I guess.

[ Last thing she wants is Silco trying to stab Bitey to death, or Bitey... biting Silco to death? Somehow? She isn't sure she'd put it beyond the poro. ]

What, not including the cop?

[ Hmm. ]

[Interesting that she picked out that point.]

Is she on your list?

What do you think?

[ Non-answers all around. ]

Funny you'd skip her, though. What? Did you end up disapproving of her having the hots for Vi?

I think you have more tolerance than you let on.

[Probing each other's defenses at this point.]

Vi is an adult and can make decisions on who she chooses to give her time and heart to. My approval shouldn't be necessary for that.

What I am is realistic, Vander. There's only one end goal here.

[ If it means working with the cop and the golden boy (and the golden boy's stickman of a partner), she would do it. ]

Hm, maybe not, but knowing her, she gave getting it a go, anyhow. Am I right?

The old ball and chain probably has a different agenda. If he pulls the leash, which way are you going to go?

[She was one of the few people who saw the goal even through the complications. She chose a cause, not necessarily people. The best chance of that goal was where she would go.]

She's precocious. [So yes.]

[ Which way indeed... ]

He knows the cards I'll play if he wavers, although that's something you sure forgot. Might want to include that in your little community spiel.

[He hummed, considering.]

And will you play that card multiple times to mold him based on what one may or may not lose?

Only once.

[ Just as she played it for Vander. ]

Same as you. I don't think you realize how many chances I gave you back then, before I walked out that door.

I have an idea. Hindsight and all.

[He didn't bother to point out that Silco did not take betrayal well.]

[ Oh, she knew. She only felt inclined to discuss this because she'd like Silco to remember this little fact: if she walks, he's left with nothing, which is even more true here than in Zaun. ]

Yeah. Hindsight and all.

[ That's enough of that. ]

If you do cobble together some new happy-go-lucky gang, I'd think real hard about how not to make that same mistake.

[ Or do make the same mistake! Make her life easier. Although, that'll be the last he hears from her on his little network post. She was serious about having work to do, and it was best to get back to it before she had to go bully Silco. ]

[Interesting decision to continually remind him of how past inactions and orderly decisions had lost him everything. Don't make the same mistakes she said? Plenty of reminders, plenty to think about.]

I doubt there will be a gang. I'd prefer not to watch them die or worse.
