[ow!! except it doesn't hurt, and she just laughs.]
Yeah. I'll take one good thing out of the thousands of shit things we've been served. [a beat.] I know it's fucking rude to say, but I'm glad you got here too.
[she's not glad he died, but more than anything it's that she's glad he didn't get left behind.]
Don't even bother with the asterisk comments. I feel like we're both aware it kind of comes with the territory.
[ They're both murderers, they both died. WOMP. And unfortunately it feels like they both got rewarded for it if anything. Free from one monster... and in Daan's case, ostensibly a second, although it still lingers somewhere. ]
As morbid as it is, it worked out in a way. Don't think either of us would've contributed much if we kept on.
[it does feel a little like they got rewarded for it. a break (until they wander into a horrible stepford hotel later this week probably), people they missed, and the promise of information that might get them out of here. it's so much less dire than the living.
a little sigh.]
Think you're right. I woke up Sunday morning as me and the idea of going the rest of the week filled me with so much dread that I could barely get up. [...] Would've been worse if I'd had to watch you get stabbed to death.
[ He hasn't got a comment to give back in return, he was continuously insane since Thursday evening. Begrudgingly brought back to himself by Camille's stubbornness, which is something he can't honestly say he enjoys but also can't just be like I'd be glad to stay insane on main either.
Getting stabbed repeatedly with scissors WAS rough though hot damn. He makes the slightest face. Thank god his injuries got fixed. ]
Counts as my belongings, so... yeah, it showed up.
[fond exasperation:] Didn't you say not to bother with the asterisk comments? Are you less miserable than usual to see the others, does that sound better.
[this is said in a teasing way, at least. but.]
Nehan said we are alive, technically. Just hidden. [...] And a little closer to the living than before. I could touch Famine, Pesto and War, when I talked to them. Apparently that wasn't a thing last week.
Sort of forgot to tell Famine that I was dying. He was grouchy about it. [her tail swishes back and forth lazily behind her as she takes another drink.] Also got told to take a vacation.
Otherwise not a lot. I was a little afraid to say anything about here. Didn't want them to get in trouble, you know?
Mr. Nehan believes that they won't be used as sacrificial substitutes in the instance that we manage to guide them to our given minimum quota, at least. And if we do end up dealing with the cult in say, the traditional way, then they shouldn't be able to punish them for defection either.
I wouldn't be able to predict what happens, but traditional way being a probable wipeout. Wouldn't want them regaining their numbers eventually to try again.
[ He's not a fighter... at least in theory, he can fight and be fought just about the same as any other contestant in his game. Still, he's not a high fantasy who is like oh yes kill and maim is the answer. ]

One damn good thing about all this, yeah?

[ Probably was on a side table. ]
no subject
anyway, she smiles a bit at that.]
Good. [this pleases her greatly.] ... Didn't bring Scratch with me, though. I left him with Gale.
no subject
Or, you know. There's Pickles to hug too.
no subject
... You think he'd let me?
[pings of curiosity... pickles is so Dignified]
no subject
Maybe? Unless you're about to tell me the relationship between you has secretly been pretty rocky.
no subject
[as for pickles:] Anyway, no, I don't think so. I just know I asked if I could pet him once and he said no, so I'm being respectful.
Maybe I can get to know him better here.
no subject
[ He'll raise a comparatively modest glass to hers. He'd ask who she missed the most except the answer is so obvious he doesn't bother. ]
no subject
[she clinks her glass against his, happily.]
Are you happy to see the others? [maybe her missed the most is obvious, but she's been so glad to see aerith, aqua and karma, too.]
no subject
[ Not just because of how he is but just. The situation. ]
But I am glad to see they're doing well. And you know... are alive, the gritty details of our status not withstanding.
no subject

[ But he does just listen along. ]
Social as always, aren't you. What did you talk about?
no subject

no subject
But that's fair.
no subject
He's a picky bitch, but when he cares, he cares. I guess I endeared myself to him somehow.
... All of them care. Takes a bit of digging sometimes, but they do.
no subject
[ Pretty much clocked them on this aspect from the start and let them continue to be like 'I don't care though' if they wanted to. ]
no subject
[but it is why she trusted them so much from the beginning, yeah.]
I hope they'll be safe at the end of all of this, too.
no subject
[ Because they're BABIES. ]

no subject
Hah. The traditional way. Gods, I hope it's the traditional way. I could do with some good old fashioned justified violence.
