Dearest Lion, in lieu of a personal message today, I give you my accumulated notes from today's PMs. This is exactly what's about to go into my confessional. I am very interested to hear your take on things.
Bunny (He/Him) - Bunny is solid and dependable, but I'm not sure he is the most flexible. He seems consistently overwhelmed at the numbers on this tribe, even moreso than Capybara and I are. He's anxious about what happened on Mammalia, and seems convinced that he'd have been on the block had things gone down differently.
Butterfly (They/Them) - I really like Butterfly, though they do strike me as having their fingers in a lot of pies. I think we can trust them, so long as we continue to verify. I pointed them towards Rat and Bunny as relationships to develop, I'm curious to see how that goes.
Capybara (He/Him) - Capy has actually become quite a tidy little ally. I think we have his loyalty if we want it. I would be perfectly happy to bring him along for quite a while, perhaps as late as endgame.
Cat (She/Her) - Still getting to know her. My intuition suggests that she already has some friends and plans, but is open to more possibilities. Will keep an eye on this relationship.
Eagle (It/Its) - I am very enthusiastic about pursuing a relationship with Eagle. It is clever, likeable, and kind of *gets* me. It's also really distracting - its gimmick does not play well with all, and it may draw votes away from us.
Frog (He/Him) - I do not know where I stand with Frog. We became allies of convenience in F.A.S.T., but I don't think he ever really had full buy-in. I don't know his real motives or feelings. He makes me nervous with how opaque he is.
Hedgehog (She/Her) - This is me!
Kestrel (They/Them) - Seems interested in getting to know me, but has been kind of keeping me at arm's length. Unsure if that's due to alliance overlap or if naturally cautious or slow to warm
Leopard Seal (?/?) - Still opaque to me. Lives in the UK, and our time zone difference seems to be holding us back. Notably, I haven't heard anyone really mention them as a friend or ally, so if they don't win immunity, this might be a good shipwreck vote.
Lion (He/Him) - Endgame buddy <3
Rat (He/Him) - Rat and I got a lot closer on Reptilia. It was interesting seeing him away from Bunny and coming into his own. I beleive he has a firm alliance with Eagle, and all of remaining Reptilia agreed to work together at his instigation at the end of the tribe.
Snowy Owl (They/Them) - Snowy has always been a little hard to get close to. We're friendly, but they're another who always seems to have me at arm's length. I think they were at or near the bottom of Aeria and assumed they would be on Herbivora, and that attitude hasn't lightened up. I'd be happy to move forward with Owl, but I think they're tight with Sloth and shutting others out. Perhaps Capybara is the way in?
Sloth (He/Him) - My relationship with Sloth is tenuous. We didn't really get along all that well on Terrestria, and I feel certain he knows that the idol is all that saved him on Herbivora. Had he not produced it, I would not have stuck my neck out to try (and fail) to save him. Still, we have connections, and I have no urgency to evict him.
I think if we play this correctly, there's an alliance to be had connecting us to Butterfly, Eagle, Rat, Bunny, and a few others including Capybara and Kestrel. I still don't know where Frog is really at, and would like your thoughts on him.
