NOTES ON THE FRIDGE


You're sharing a space: a home, an office, a Batcave, whatever. But you're busy and your schedules don't quite match up -- but you have plenty of note paper! Time to leave a note (or two)!

instructions:

- comment with your character name & canon in the subject line + if you just want one-on-one interactions (1:1) or you're open to anything (ota)

- in your top level leave a starter note - a shopping list, a reminder, just a comment, whatever you'd like

- others reply to this note!

- you can "edit" notes by copy/pasting them and striking out words, adding doodles, writing over/under, or just add another note!

- if the commenter is ota, jump in on other people's threads! maybe you're all sharing the space as a group or team! please don't jump into threads if they're marked 1:1!

- do you sign the note or leave it anonymous? do you recognize the handwriting?

- have fun!

We're not gonna let her use anything against us. We've gotta be smarter about this.

I personally was not going to ask her if she wanted to go for that or not. We are telling, plain and simple. All of the little arguments aside, this we need to agree on completely. And, yes, eventually whatever we come up with, she will try and wiggle her way around or use to her advantage, so we also need to come up with consequences for when she does that.

If we had not gone along with her little stunt, she would be fucked right now. We are not going to get better leverage than we have right now. Between all of us - well, between most of us at least, like Bucky said, if we are a united front we should be able to pull this off.

And what are those consequences going to be, send her to her room without dinner? Blackmail? How does that make us any better than her?

Red hook pier. [just mimes tossing a body off it.] Hear it's not illegal there.

No....no. You're missing the point of what Yelena is saying. We're not blackmailing her, sending to her room or killing her. Consequences don't mean blackmail, neither does leverage. We sit here and figure out something together.

We have to be on the same page though, if we're going to come up with a solution. That means no going behind each other's backs either.

We could just dunk her a few times...

I don't know, the punishment I'm used to probably isn't applicable here. And none of us want her off her meds.

[Public floggings. No, dammit, she has to be a non-chaos voice right now.]

We are here to figure out what those consequences are going to be, Walker, I just said that. And I think it would take more than a little blackmail to contain her to become as bad as her, but currently she needs us. We can use that. If you have other suggestions that are not likely to end badly for us as well, I am happy to hear them, but if this becomes some public he said, she said public airing of crimes, I am pretty sure that ends with her managing again to keep herself free and us dead or in the Raft.

I'm genuinely not here to argue. I just don't see how this is going to work. What do we think she's going to do, anyway?

You know what she wants. She wants to manipulate the situation to however she sees fit, and control us. It's just little things here and there, and then next thing you know we'll be working her jobs, taking her hits, following her agenda. She needs to realize she's not the one in control here, we are.

She needs boundaries. And we need to know when to say no to her. She's getting very friendly. With some more than others.

[Looks at you, Alexei]

[follows that look and... quickly shakes her head to delete it from her mind.]

Well, she hasn't asked anything of me other than the ingredients for brownies.
Which by the way, made the walls melt.

I think she's just trying to make it up to us. [because she knows Ava would drop her off the top of the tower if she pissed her off]

... She did apologize to me, in a very uncharacteristically sincere way. And she has been extra - well, she has not been acting like herself, in some big ways.

But that could still be a trick, or she could decide she wants to stick with her historically established tendencies, and we need to be prepared for that. If she is somehow turning over a new leaf or whatever, then the boundaries we draw will not be a problem for her, but we will still be covered.

Maybe we will get somewhere with this more easily if we list the things we are not okay with her doing. In my opinion, we need to make it clear that she cannot treat everything in the Watchtower - including us - as if it were available for free use. Basically, have some manners. Also we need to know what she is bringing into the building. I had some of the brownies too, we do all tend to need help relaxing, BUT Bucky was right about it being a problem that mind-altering substances were here and in food before we knew about them.

Guess you knew her better than I ever did. I had a strict minimum contact policy.

Honestly, I think she's just relieved one of her schemes worked out and her own ass didn't end up in prison. Even if we weren't her... you know, top choice. She gets credit, we get... this. In her mind we all got what we wanted, so of course she wants to play nice to maintain that balance.

But I want the security cameras disabled, if we're going to be listing our grievances.

She hasn't been acting like herself could mean a lot of things. We know how she is, what she's done. We also know that this is a kind of grace period for her. Maybe she's relieved, yeah. Maybe she wants to play nice.

Considering what we've all done, I want to get behind that notion, but I think we all know better than to just trust her like that. And yeah, we need to make it clear to her that she can't treat everything as if it were available for free use.

If you wanna disable the security cameras, I'm all for it. In fact, we shouldn't have them at all. We're not hers to watch. If she wants to watch the lobby she can feel free.

I would have loved to have been able to have a minimum contact policy, instead of her stalking me to my sister's grave. Since I didn't have that, I made sure I got some intel out of it.

She might want to play nice now, but the odds are pretty awful about that lasting more than... what, another 6 hours at best? I want us prepared before she starts plotting again, if she really isn't yet.

I vote removal for all but the lobby cameras as well, and one of us should have the admin access. She can have watch access, but I don't want her erasing or editing things.
