Guys.... Are we seriously wanting to drive wedges in the power structure that we are going to inherit? Especially given that the old man isn't being a jerk ass to us?

Kaiser's only being nice to Theo now because he has value and overwhelming power. If he had honestly gave a damned before the Exaltation and tried not to be a asshole maybe there could be some forgiveness, it's too late to apologize.

Dad's not a bad guy... except for being actively evil most of the time... okay, he's a bad guy.

But we're not planning to kill him for being a bad guy.

We're planning to kill him because:
- He murdered us, personally.
- He's standing in the way of our taking over his organization.

Right, but while we're waiting for his unforeseen yet inevitable tragic demise, let's not needlessly break our inheritance. It's fragile enough as it is, even before we use the twisted essence of undying titans to horrifyingly warp the definition of Aryan beyond all reason and sanity.
 
[X] Write-in lines: goal is to express surprise at Brad's situation (stuck driving me around) with the implication that Brad deserves better, which will start driving a wedge between Brad and Dad, and also fish for information about Brad's character.
- [X] "Kinda surprised to have you as my bodyguard. I didn't know dad used you as a driver. It's a clever cover, I guess."
 
[X] Speak first, casually. Prompting him to begin this shop-talk.

We don't want to be passive in these matters, but we're also not in a place where it's in our best interest to be prideful or antagonistic. So we should initiate the conversation, but be friendly about it.

Interesting choice of direction.

My memory is failing me -- was there some indication that Theo and Brad didn't get along?

It might have something to do with the assumption that he considers Theo weak. That's not exactly an unreasonable assumption, but I don't see how it leads to actual hostility between the two.

Okay, cool, that does match my recollection.

So maybe a better nuance would be something like...

"I know that we have never (worked together), but since I'm going to be (joining in) soon, maybe we should (sing kumbaya around a campfire)."

... except without that silly last bit.

Trust me when i say this, i nearly choose posted this.......

"I know that we have never gotten along before, but since we are going to be brothers soon, we should just bury the hatchet."

Those poor choice of words would have come to bite Theo in the ass....

Well, that was certainly a tie breaker. Plan Bii wins by one vote(9).

We are going to fill the car with silence while you project being silent because you... are going to stare out the window in a very not nervous way. Since you don't answer to Hookwolf. And when he does speak, you will be conveying how much of a prince you are, so he knows that you really don't answer to him, but as any wise prince would, you will listen this time.
 
Early morning! Brain is not firing on all cylinders! I fully expect a tanuki impact to happen and my inbox to get a message or to get a post here that explains what the Tanuki meant in their stunt/sub-vote/write-in better.

But wouldn't you be pouty if you were denied that chance to get jiggy with it at the age of 15? Getting c-blocked sucks in a not good way.

Also, you're probably right. That'd be really weird for Brad. But not for Cricket.

Speaking of Cricket, she has the throat cancer hole (tracheostomy hole) and the mechanical voice box thing right? And did we ever learn her name? Or am I gonna hafta pull another one outta my butt?

Back to Bii's thing. I -think- it's really more of a wait patiently because speaking first could be a sign of being nervous (it's also a cop tactic they use to get you to talk) and basically force Brad to speak first. And then when the shop-talk happens, you listen because that wise, but convey through presence that you are listening because you are (a) wise (prince), not because you answer to Hooky.

I recall her name being Melody or some variant of that, but I'm not exactly sure. That said, her mechanical voice box thing is from an old wound and she's too proud to have it healed.
