>>87466076i wouldn't know but i don't think the real ones like her. source: my intuition. all the truly beloved collab partners are playing a game of collab scheduling chicken with vedal, because they're good, neuro-loving women. they probably understand subconsciously that the novelty of collabing with new people, having neuro see through fresh eyes, is part of what made their collabs great. and that it's now up to vedal to decide when neuro is in a state to surpass those core neuro moments and finally give them another call. but vedal is stuck in a loop of "i need a schedule for this week". potential new collab partners, can never get close enough to vedal to reach the informality and familiarity and availability needed for him to try and set up a collab. a lot of that surely stems from him being cancelled on over and over. so aside from a few far flung plans like piratesoftware (reminder that the tenma collab took over a year to pin down), that leaves a lot of empty days and only the dregs of past collab/raid targets to fill them. the shameless, assertive, or weaselly "i'm so chill and nice and love neuro so much guys you can tell by the fact that i won't collab with her alone and mainly just want to be friends with the guy whom having as a friend is a golden ticket for my career path teehee" types like cerber, fillian, and layna respectively. and i think people can pick up on that, if not express it
