She will follow.

"So! I had an idea for bonding," she says, as they leave the less crowded areas. "There's this girl on my brother's team, who just won't leave him alone. She thinks she has a crush, and hasn't noticed or doesn't care that he isn't noticing girls that way at all. I was thinking we could talk to her! Dissuade her, you know. Help their team's cohesion."

"If it is an internal problem, should we not leave it to them to solve?"

Permalink

"Family's supposed to look out for each other, and also my brother is a social disaster and has only ever befriended anyone by complete accident, so I wouldn't put money on him fixing the problem himself."

Permalink

"I see."

"Do you have a plan?"

Permalink

"I was planning to tell her what I'll do if she doesn't let off. A bit of friendly warning. Though I suppose it wouldn't be unreasonable to inform her she's causing problems, this is unprofessional behavior, etcetera."

Permalink

"For what reason am I needed?"

Permalink

"Team bonding time! Also you're very - straight laced, responsible. Good at saying this is a bad idea. I'm good at saying I'll make it a bad idea."

Permalink

"...What does that mean?"

Permalink

"What part?"

Permalink

"About making something a bad idea."

"Right now she's not seeing the consequences for her actions. Legal, social, whatever - they're not catching up to her in a way she cares about. I'd just remind her I could nudge those along. Harassment is against regulations, and all that. I might smile terrifyingly at her, too; she's already a bit scared of me, so she'll probably invent other threats for me, if she doesn't care about infractions. Though she cares a good bit about being a good little girl who does what she's supposed to."

"I see how this would solve the problem facing your brother. I do not see how this constitutes team bonding."

Permalink

"It's an activity we're doing as a team, and it helps us understand each other's styles with this sort of thing - there'll be a lot of times we want some specific behavior out of someone, I bet. Also influencing people is fun."

Permalink

"All right."

Permalink

She clasps her hands together. "Excellent! Hm, do we want a more specific plan going in, or just to wing it..."

Permalink

"We should have Chihiro go first. And then you and I can be the 'or else'."

Permalink

"That sounds excellent to me."

Permalink

"Let's go find us an annoying girl."

Permalink

Sakura, fortunately for them and unfortunately for her, keeps to an extremely predictable routine, and can be found quite easily.

Elieyha prods Chihiro towards her.

She approaches.

"Hello."

Permalink

"Hello? Chihiro, right? What's up?"

Permalink

"I have been informed you are habitually engaging in activities which are detrimental to the cohesion of your team. You should cease."

Permalink

"...What?"
