. . .

Why are you saying that like it's happened before?

[ he knows why. he just. he hates it? he hates this. ]

[headmt]

Well, we found a lot of chocolate bars and we couldn't figure out where the body had gone, so we figure, okay, somehow someone turned this guy into chocolate, but twist! It turns out some fucked up fellow had sat there and eaten an entire man in one might, butthole and all. No trace left behind.

[skyagain]

Don't start the butthole thing again. [ it is one of the only things he remembers from his trial. it's fine. ] So... cannibal, but you guys thought maybe the cannibal had a sweet tooth?

[headmt]

I ... have no idea what we thought. We definitely did not get that one right.

[skyagain]

I can believe that, if you thought he was chocolate. [ just. why. he shakes his head ] The dreams aren't totally accurate. Hopefully the meat pie part is just ... a metaphor.

[headmt]

I asked about what happened to you, the staff said to not expect it again. Lucky one time turn of events.

[skyagain]

Yeah. I asked the same thing. [ he sighs ] I don't know how truthful they're being about it, though. A lot of "dead people should be dead" talk from Aquila when half the people here died at one point or another already.

But I wouldn't count on it happening again anyway.

[headmt]

[ yeah well [redacted] just be like that ]

That is a pretty silly position to take considering half of us have dug our way out of a grave even before all this nonsense started and now even more of us are well on the way!

[skyagain]

Yeah. Acted like they'd never even heard the possibility. [ he sounds very tired. ] The most likely answer to me is it might've been someone with a role or an item that got lucky. Because it wasn't anything I did, and I doubt the Nightman gives a shit about me staying alive.

[headmt]

I get the impression it's ... entertainment, at the core. Someone coming back to life dramatically is certainly entertaining?

[skyagain]

Wouldn't that be the kind of shit that's more entertaining later?

[ like in a horror movie where a guy you thought died early comes back and is the main villain ]

[headmt]

Fuck if I know. I'm not a writer, I'm only just now learning to read!

[ staples cloud to life ]

[skyagain]

[ KILL ME!!! ]

This is why I hate stories. [ he sighs ] Whatever the how, they're probably right that it won't happen again. Even if there is a body for us to look at tomorrow.

[ meat pies... ]

[headmt]

What, like ... all stories? Seems a hard line in the sand. Every story?

[skyagain]

... Hyperbole.

[ he wasn't serious!! ]

[headmt]

Just seems like you hate a lot of things and don't enjoy much! I worry!

[ reaching over to pat him on the face. ]

Too young to be such a grandfather.

[skyagain]

[ waves his hand off, offended ]

Grandfather? [ rude!! ] I like things.

[headmt]

Such as? Name three.

[skyagain]

Not you right now. [ this isn't proving the point but he sighs ] ... Driving a bike. Fighting. Darts.

[ cloud, please ]

[headmt]

You like me plenty.

[ does he ... ? ]


Anyway, those are all fine things to like! Good answers.

[skyagain]

Yay.

[ :|

he does like molly fine. spoilers ]

[headmt]

That said, I have no idea what a bike is.

[skyagain]

... You don't have motorcycles?

[headmt]

I know what a motor is! And a cycle. Or the concept of one. Like a year? Not really picturing what the two of those things together are?

[skyagain]

... You ever learn what cars are?
