He can't leave anyway.

[But make out mood is kind of ruined already. Moving away to go sit by the fire instead then, fine.]

You should be more careful.

[slobjection]

Yes... I agree. [ he's pretending lio is saying that to galo and not phoenix ]

You wouldn't want to get caught.

[burningrescue]

Get caught . . .?

[He doesn't get it.]

Wait, you mean kissing? Everyone already knows. Why should I care?

[madburnout]

[Lio also doesn't get it until Galo seems to cotton on, and then he . . . smirks. Which is somehow worse than Galo's sulking probably.]

I don't care. Are you jealous?

[slobjection]

Why were you sneaking around in here like schoolchildren, then...?

[ he is jealous actually, no one wants to smooch him ]

[burningrescue]

We weren't. We come here every week for curfew so we can do quizzes. And I was showing Lio some of the good books they have and we started kissing. And then you interrupted us.

[madburnout]

[The kissing may have started as a way to distract Galo from detailing every firefighter fact in this whole library. If you were in that situation, you'd choose kissing too.]

Would you prefer we continue out here . . . ?

[slobjection]

I think I've seen enough for one night.

[ gosh. ]

Why don't we talk a little, instead?

[burningrescue]

Sure. You wanna hear the firefighter facts, too?

[He's leaning on Lio with an arm around him still, so you're not totally free.]

[madburnout]

[Yeah, the threat is there Phoenix. If your conversation is dull, they will start kissing again.]

I don't think he wants to hear the firefighter facts.

[slobjection]

[ stop being horny!! ]

Nah. I was thinking... house facts.

[ yeah he's going to make you assholes work so he doesn't have to see kissing ]

[burningrescue]

[Ugh. He looks bored already.]

Like. A quiz about the house?

Just spit it out.

[madburnout]

The note, you mean?

[ did galo see that. ]

[slobjection]

Among other things. Want to know what I found when I was down there?

[ to galo ]

[burningrescue]

What note?

[Did no one share this with him :/]

What did you find?

[madburnout]

The one Phoenix found. Presumably about Blue's tactics for defeating whatever evil they are fighting. Possibly the house itself.

[God. Just letting Galo do the whole, cryptic question and answer game now.]

[slobjection]

Most likely the house itself, yes.

[ phoenix was going to share in first aid thread but here! ]

[burningrescue]

[Okay. So he'll read this, screwing up his face.]

. . .

[He doesn't get it. Sorry. Too metaphysical.]

[madburnout]

[That's okay, poor Himbo.]

I believe it is a list of strategies tried by Blue, to defeat the house. We are near the bottom of the list. Taking self out of the equation.

[slobjection]

According to this... it's easier said than done. And the staff wouldn't like it, either.

[burningrescue]

The staff. . . that's the girls, right?

[He looks at the list, frowning.]

They really care about him. They trust all his decisions, even if they don't understand them. And they get mad if anyone says something bad about him, 'cause he's a sentimental old fool.

I think whatever he did that they didn't like must've put him in danger, right? That's the only thing that fits to me.
