[ It's... better than nothing, which. At this point, it's a risk Rose is willing to take. But that begs the question,]
What do you think'll happen if they see through it and your plan doesn't work out?
[ Truthfully, Rose already knows the answer to that question: more than likely, they'll all be dead. She just wants to make sure that's something Rey is alright signing up for.]
Chances are they'll refuse to work together, and will end up on their kill list the same as you, ultimately being barred from any exceptions they might have with killing me in their endeavors at wiping out any naysayers.
Which is bound to happen sooner or later. Am only willing to tag this charade so far.
Rose wasn't actually expecting it to be as easy as... all that. She's glad, in a sense. It'll mean that she can deliver the weapon right to Sorrow herself. Maybe get a re-up on his blessing. Even just the approval would be nice, probably.
She always falls for the impossible ones though these days. ]
I'm hoping so. The Null don't seem like the type to toy with us. Not even sure they'd know how. But alright, let's fake my death. Bet that'll make half the cave pretty happy.
[It helps that Rey isn't doing this for the approval. She couldn't care less about using this to ultimately score a few points for Sorrow, either.
[She scoffs.] Don't flatter yourself.
[Rose might have obnoxious tendencies, but somehow Rey doubts that she'd have that many people after her head. You sweet summer child. I mean, it's rich coming from someone who actually did try to kill Rose firsthand, right?]
You're not wrong, though. Machines aren't very adept at deception. Maybe calculate variable outcomes based on patterns and statistics, but that's only reliable if you don't have so many erratic subjects.
[ Rose just doesn't want the god killer to fall into the wrong hands. Or, if it does, that Sorrow can have one ready to disect and study as quickly as possible and protect Hope.
If Hope dies, the rest of them might as well be dead. It's a scary possiblity of paralleling Haven's shift to permanent death. If she can prevent history from repeating itself, she's going to. ]
Alright, so, maybe one-third. That's more reasonable.
[ It is a little ironic, honestly, but at least she can joke about it now. ]
Well, we'll have to use that to our advantage then. I guess my being as ridiculous as fucking possible will finally come in handy.
[Even though Rey is not being entirely serious. She isn't going to do the math on how many people Rose has effective pissed off enough to want her dead.]
Been thinking that, too. We don't know how much this "mole" of theirs knows about us, but the less we put out there in the open for the enemy to find out, the better we have at surprising their asses.
If there was evidence that the Null were watching, making a big show of it might be a waste of time.
But we don't know how closely their little mole is keeping tabs on shit, so it can't hurt. Besides, it shouldn't be too hard to think of reasons to kill you. No offense.
[ ... No offense. Sure. Rose doesn't actually take much, honestly. She's well aware just how badly people here probably want to wring her neck over some stunts she's pulled. ]
Alright, cool. Sounds like fun. And hopefully you can stay on their good side while I get godly brownie points.

Well, actually, ] I have one condition.
I get the god killer, when all is said and done.
[ She's willing to compromise a little on that, actually, and give it to someone she trusts but. ]
[action]
Deal, assuming that will even be an option.
[As she doubts that they're the only ones making plans.]

So, how we gonna' this? Quiet or loud? I don't mind making a scene of it. Might be more believable.

Should be doable. Have enough experience with espionage and being someone else that it won't take much to keep up an act.
no subject
if Rose recalls. ]
And I'm really, really, ridiculously good at lying. So, we got our bases covered.
no subject
All right, it's a plan, then. Will keep you updated, now that you're on board.
[Since that was Rey's main concern here. Not that she was worried at all about Rosie's willingness to something like this.]
