Sorry for being totally gone all weekend, I'm a bad person. I did check in on the thread at one point though and still didn't see anything worth commenting on, but it looks like a lot happened since then. Namely, somehow we found both werewolves? I guess that's cool... kinda wish they weren't both just sorta handed to us.
So now it's down to finding Ryu's mates. I'm actually in agreement with Laundry about Gheb, he's been... off from how I usually expect towngheb to act. I'm 90% sure that the way he's spinning the interaction between himself and Laundry is that he's pretty sure Laundry is scum, and is dragging his read on him through the mud so he can look like the golden boy when Laundry flips, and we'll all forget about how scummy Laundry told us he was.
So if it's down to me and xonar, obviously I'd vote xonar. He's been insisting that he has this strong scumread on me, which he's been pushing? I haven't felt any pressure, I'll be honest. Maybe it's because I've been gone, but I haven't seen him say anything other than "Joker was doing a good job of scumhunting on D1, then went V/LA (without telling anyone, sorry bros), therefore I think he's scum because setup reasons." Frankly I still think Joey's play looks like ***, but I don't know that he makes sense as Ryu's mate. I do think it's funny that people were saying he'd be great to keep around for content, when he's contributed none.
