The non-IPRE balance gang just forgets how much time the crew spent together sometimes. They spent 100 years fighting together and being roomates, so that tends to lead to very close friendships.

They all know exactly what they like and what they hate. Carey once asked Magnus what Lucretia would like for her birthday and Magnus just made an extremely specific and detailed list of about 20 different items in a heartbeat and another 30 items that he said she would despise. Magnus may have said that he feels like he and Lup never hung out enough but that’s a downright lie. Lup and Magnus are so in sync that Angus asked Magnus what he though Lup would want to do on the weekend and he had decided on the perfect activity immediately (volcano hiking). 

All of the IPRE crew also played a lot of table-top games, so they are elite chess players, especially Merle. Angus once made the mistake of challenging Barry to a chess game. He lost horribly. (Barry purposely dragged out the game for an hour and didn’t lose a single piece) If you want to even try to play Yooker against Davenport you better be prepared to cry your eyes out because this man has no mercy when it comes to bets (unless your name is Merle Highchurch).

There’s also so much harmony between them. Merle and Davenport are actually very coordinated in what they do. They can dance together with their eyes closed and still manage to not only avoid any awkward collisions or mistakes, but they look amazing as they do it. Taako and Lucretia are perfection when they do karaoke together. Killian put them together to help them make up, but when the two of them are competitive as fuck, Taako immediately forgets any qualms he has about Lucretia for the duration of the song and they absolutely destroy Team Sweet Flips at their performance of “Livin’ on a Prayer”.

You can imagine the crew’s surprise when they find that Taako “I-didn’t-let-anyone-but-Lup-hold-me-until-Cycle-52″ Taaco was lying in Kravitz “I’ve-been-dating-Taako-for-2-months-and-I’m-always-ice-cold” Adventurezone’s lap in the middle of winter.
