Okay. Let's assess who we have here.
Me
Bees
T/H
Bonobo
Grogu
Dark Rey
Cleric
Monk
Avocado
Bard
Droids
Ranger
Maggie
Maggie was 100% on the outs on her old tribe. Avo/Bard/Droids were a trio. Ranger is also in that group. So we have a foursome right there. I don't like that because two of them have just met me and a third has a reason to distrust me.
Bonobo is glad to see Maggie, and earlier implied that him/me/Maggie were the better trio on Purple over him/me/Lindsay. Gotta check to see how this is.
I do know that Maggie wasn't super close with Bees and she's meeting T/H for the first time now. She needs friends, and it happens that we have Rey/Monk/Cleric who aren't in deep with the Avocado Bunch. I need to focus on those relationships and build them up.

How am I actually integrating?
Droids is happy to see me, so that bodes well.
Avocado and Bard strike me as similar players so far. Big peg energy from both (I don't mean that in an ID sense, I mean it as in a playstyle description) They hover on the edge of shitposting so they are both a little hard to read. Avocado is the leader. I think he likes me so far? He did say he'd heard a lot of good things which must be from the Droids; no way it came from Ranger.
I don't know if Bonobo knows I was pushing to keep Lindsay over him. If he does, he hasn't said anything about it. Our conversation has picked up again after the weekend and feels natural, though; feeling good here.
Cleric is fun, Rey is clever, Monk is a little nondescript but is nice enough. Those are my first impressions of that tribe.
Bees, T/H, and myself have a three-person groupchat. When TC starts I'm going to be interested to see who the first person to send a message in there is, and how long into the TC it is. If it's early on, that's great! If it's not, well, I know how the me/Pine/Malkon thing ended up in KYE.

Ranger doesn't seem to want to murder me. Avocado seems sincere about wanting us to tell each other if our names come up; he's not bullshitting me that we are besties since we just met but he's also clear that he's willing to get to know me.
Cleric just asked me for my thoughts on the structure. I gave a lot of details because I want Cleric to trust me over others.
Still waiting to hear back from Maggie, which is sad.

Interesting.
No idea what will happen yet. I don't think I'm in danger, but who knows?

Nobody wants to make "a move" and that may be the smart play. However, some not-a-moves are better for me than others. If people want to just consensus vote a returnee then I need to make sure it's not Cleric.

DROIDS:
BARD:
Well now. They aren't wrong, either.
I'm running into my normal problem where I can't stop trying to make overlapping trios until I'm caught up in a eve-of-WWI-Europe mesh of alliances. I do think it's worth setting the stage for this one, though.
Monk has told me a Grogu vote may "be in the cards" which is fascinating because nobody has told me that yet.

And Bard just told me Droids wants me on their team. Not sure why I learned that from Bard and not Droids but I'll take it for now.
Literally nobody cares about this TC at all; this is 100% about positioning for the next round. It is one of the weirdest feelings I've had in my LSG career.

And now Bard says he wants me and Droids wants Maggie? Am I the belle of the ball or the belle of the, uh, that horrible frat party thing where bros compete to bring the least-bangable girl and that I'm not entirely sure is a real thing or something made up for pop culture?
Bard wants to hear opinions from people instead of just making a decision, so I decided to Be Bold and say I didn't want Cleric if people coalesce on a returner. Sure, Bard put Cleric in the hole in the first place, but I figure it's worth taking the chance, especially if Bard likes me as much as he's telling me he does.

Spam spams your confessional: 1. You made the (fake) merge! Congratulations! How does it feel to have made it so far? Before the game started, did you think you would have made it to the halfway point? 2. What are your thoughts on the vote? If Monk doesn't end up going, how big of a deal is it for your game? 3. How has it been, getting to meet the returnees? Are there any who you want to work with, or do you want to send them back out? 4. Is there anyone else who you hoped returned instead? 5. You're about to be swapped into tribes. If you could pick an ideal six player tribe for yourself, what would it be? What tribe would be the worst possible draw for you? 6. How safe do you feel on the tribe you just listed? Who would you ideally want voted off first?
