[ it's better to learn about someone face-to-face, like the aeons intended ]

About the cult sacrifice deal?

[recession]

Yeah.

And our four benefactors, their opinions of us, and plans for the future.

[trashprince]

War sounded like they were on our side. It's a rough situation all around, but nobody's going to be a sacrifice. We'll find an escape hatch.

[ there there, dour man ]

[recession]

What a thing to say.

[ He knows it's just some weird person in a mask but out of context, what a wacky sentence. ]

Glad we're on the same page regarding that, but it'd be weird if we weren't.

[trashprince]

[ that is nowhere near the weirdest thing caelus has or will yet say ]

You were mumbling something about 'again?'

[recession]

...

It's nothing... just thinking out loud to myself.

Looks like we've got a lot of figuring out to do.

[trashprince]

If you're scared of having to fight, if it comes to that, you don't have to. There are a lot of people here who could protect you.

[ curiosity killed the cat but the raccoon got to eat all the trash it found. that's the exact saying in the space version. don't check. ]

[recession]

I'm not scared, but it's true I'd rather avoid it... I'm not much of a fighter.

Let's hope that we won't have to fight anything at all though.

[ Looks pointedly at the baseball bat. ]

[trashprince]

[ hm? caelus follows daan's gaze. the bat! this ol' thing? yeah, it's bashed a few baddies in its day. ]

I won't run from a fight, but if it makes everyone feel better, I'll work on peaceful solutions first.

[recession]

That would be preferable. Wouldn't want us to be devolving into violence headfirst if it's avoidable.

Only so many knowledgeable hands and medical supplies to go around.

[trashprince]

[ that icon is so cute ]

Yeah. Without consumables, I don't know anything about first-aid.

[ bandaid go on wound. that's the sum of it. ]

[recession]

[ Consumables. What a way to say it. ]

...

Do you mean painkillers?

[trashprince]

No. I know what those are.

[ unnecessary! a true hero must feel each ache and persevere besides. also people get addicted to those things. scary. nothing like a video game with constant positive sensory feedback. ]

Have you met Alfyn, yet? He's an apothecary, so that's one doctor-like person.

[recession]

[ Ache less, but do please continue perservering. ]

Right.

...No, I'm afraid not. He has been mentioned to me though, so suppose I should find him later on and see what he thinks of this all...

Not to be a downer, but the prospects aren't very good.

[trashprince]

Even if it looks bad for now, I believe we'll find a path out. Everyone here--

[ except a couple A-names ]

--seems like good people. We'll work together and see what has to be done.

[recession]

[ Wow they really are A names. They're both our worst and our best. Awesome and Awful real. ]

That seems to be the case. At least that's something we can't complain about.

Hopefully, we'll be working together well too, Mr. Caelus.
