( ORIGINAL THREAD ) --- [ Something is a word to use but wasn't that how things usually started? Maybe? It looks like a lot of something until it wasn't.
Though Yuuri can't help but laugh at Li's comment about their fellow competition. He really should feel good about it but he does. ]
Hoping that our competition to fail so we look better?
[ He can't help but chuckle back, though a little bit more subdued, nervous. Like maybe that's something he shouldn't have suggested. (Or maybe because it's half-fake.) ]
[ It was only natural for someone to think that considering the circumstances. Of course, Yuuri would never think or hope this ever in an ice skating competition. If he were to win, he wanted to do it on an even field. ]
As long as we don't actively try to sabotage anyone.
We shouldn't think about sabotaging anyone in the first place.
[ Really, he was starting to regret bringing it up at all. Hopefully the topic can be dropped once Li brings up the matter of their somewhat mostly rounded snowman. It doesn't look terrible but it certainly won't win them any kind of prizes.
Yuuri makes a soft noncommittal noise before replying. ]
It's definitely something... Maybe it'll shape up more once we smooth it out?
[ If Yuuri was more of a carefree kind of person who could make sarcastic jokes, he'd suggest that they just melt the whole thing and call it an avant garde ice sculpture. If people could get away with painting a canvas a single solid color and make money off of that, why couldn't the same be applied to this, right?
...right? Either way, that's not the kind of person that Yuuri was and so he just weakly laughs. ]

Terrible of me, I know.

I think in something like this, it would be fine.

[ it would probably be too easy but also too much effort for little pay out. Still- he sounds a little surprised that Yuuri even suggests it. ]
It's a little much, isn't it? Besides, everyone's putting their effort into this, I couldn't even think about something like that.
but what if i wanted edgelord hei!?
Ah, I don't suggest we do that! I was just saying that others might take this too seriously.
[ Honest!! Yuuri probably couldn't live with himself if he secured a victory using dirty methods. ]
why???
[ Or will win, regardless. He tries to calm his tone down from the surprise - which isn't hard for him to do as he focuses back on the sculpture. ]
Anyway, even with sabotage... I don't know if we'd win.
[ He indicates the structure, which is mostly snowman shaped at least. ]
It's something, though.
don't question me!??

I do what I want??
[ Hei shrugs before flashing another slight smile. ]
I'll try not to melt it all down while we do that.
so do i?????

I'll do my best to do the same.
