... Whatever's fine, then. I'm not that picky.

[ so long as it is outside this general area ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ ... honestly? he just selects a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of something pre-mixed and flavoured, and hops the counter. cloud gets a whiskey bottle to the chest, killing him instantly-- no. ]

C'mon big guy, let's walk and talk.

[skyagain]

[ ... cloud holds the bottle and starts walking with, sure. this is the first time in his life anyone has ever called him big guy and he looks a little amused ]

Yeah. Further away, the better.

[ashenvaliant]

[ well he is taller than yuri. just. but it's all about the irony. ]

Name me a place with the least bad memories in this place and we can start there.

[skyagain]

There actually any, at this point? [ he shakes his head ] Other places don't bother me. Just... Guess something about being in the place you died makes the body antsy.

[ashenvaliant]

I really don't think that's something you need to justify, out loud or to yourself. [ everythng about his case was Weird. ]

Concierge room? Or the karaoke room but I'm not interested in going in there.

[skyagain]

You have a lot of drinks in the concierge room?

[ he's not saying no, though, he doesn't actually care. ]

[ashenvaliant]

Nope. But I don't think anyone's died there, so it wins points on that alone.

[skyagain]

Not a heck of a lot of places left like that, I'll give you that.

[ashenvaliant]

Depressing, isn’t it? But not unexpected.

[skyagain]

It's one hotel. Can't expect a miracle. [ murderers love new areas... ]

[ashenvaliant]

And I doubt we’d get away with designating one room the murder room.

[skyagain]

That wouldn't be entertaining, remember?

[ashenvaliant]

Heaven forbid.

[ well. they can go and drink in the concierge room if they really want to. or they can just stop in the lobby and drink in public like degenerates. ]

[skyagain]

[ degenerates in the lobby it is! wheeee. ]

... Think some of the kills weren't shadow pushed?

[ashenvaliant]

[ chug chug chug chug. he will clink his bottle against cloud’s before he sits down and takes a sip. ]

Probably. It’s about the time things escalate in all ways.

[skyagain]

... Yeah. I guess.

[ cloud takes a small sip, but he's not interested in actually getting drunk so. this is just ruining the bottle by putting their gross germs on them. ]

Makes the fact that we got the one kid where it wasn't his idea feel not that great.

[ashenvaliant]

[ it's their alcohol now. ]

Mm. It's not the best feeling.

We were so rushed at the end we didn't get to ask if all the killers were alive, huh... I wonder how much that would've helped.

[skyagain]

Alive, and if all of them were possessed. [ he shakes his head and takes another sip ] I don't know. It's unclear if they even could've answered that, but...

[ashenvaliant]

They don't really like talking about... well. Anything. Or rather, they're severely limited in what they can say.

[skyagain]

No kidding. And I thought my hands were tied back in the Realm.

[ashenvaliant]

They almost seem... afraid when you press them. Or cagey. It wouldn't surprise me if the leash the Nightman has on them is incredibly short.

[ ... ]

At this point last time a couple of them had been comfortable enough to reveal who they were, but...

[skyagain]

I've been pretty sure this entire time they've got their own contract with him. That's one way to make sure to keep the leash tight.

[ he shakes his head ]

The way they freaked out over memories? They're not supposed to tell us, and we're not supposed to guess, either.

[ashenvaliant]

Seems like it doesn't it. We're bound by our contract in the same way, but theirs must be particularly strict.

[ ... ]

Yes, I saw that too. The second you dig any deeper than surface area, they clam up.

[skyagain]

Yeah. There's a lot more going on there than we thought of at first. Don't really like it.
