... Some of them.

[ktiseos]

[a long, tired sigh.]

...'some' will have to be enough.

[skyagain]

... We can't expect everyone to get along in the first place. So long as it doesn't derail us, we'll have to accept what happens from now on.

[ktiseos]

So we do. And those who cannot work with each other, we may deal with as necessary.

[skyagain]

What, like a time out corner?

[ktiseos]

I'll pick them up myself if I must.

[skyagain]

... Well, you've got the height to get all of them.

[ktiseos]

And I shall not hesitate to do so, I assure you.

[skyagain]

Well, that's one less thing to worry about.

[ktiseos]

One on a very long list of other things to continue worrying over.

...but none that we can do anything about now, I suppose.

[skyagain]

... There's not a lot of things we can do anything about in general.

[ it's frustrated. why can this never just be a boss fight ]

[ktiseos]

It was similar in the Prism, where things only became clear much later, but-- it makes it no easier to deal with, regardless.

[skyagain]

There's no telling if things will become any clearer here. If we're making the right steps for it.

[ktiseos]

There is not, no, and the things we have been discovering are--

Difficult to work with, at best.

[skyagain]

That's one way to put it. [ tiredly. he is so tired. ] I still need to see what they got this week.

[ktiseos]

As do I. I haven't yet had the time to speak with any of them of it; I've only seen mine, and Estelle's.

[skyagain]

[ there's a beat ]

You might wanna ask Sheila what she plans to do with hers before tomorrow.

[ktiseos]

...oh. Oh, she is the last, isn't she.

[he rubs at his face, exhaling, and mutters-]

It feels somewhat ill-advised to go to a woman on the eve of her probable death to ask her for information.

[like, he'd do it, but he has at least, you know

enough understanding to know it may not go great]

[skyagain]

Probably more ill-advised not to remind her she's the one who has the physical copy. Sebastian's the last, and he's seen it, but he's...

[ ........ anyway ]

Anyway, she has the original. We probably shouldn't let it be lost forever in general.

[ktiseos]

-right, him.

[I HATE EMET-SELCH]

Well. It is reasonable, but I certainly hope she sees it that way as well.

[skyagain]

... Maybe start with condolences and go from there.

[ktiseos]

[silence, for a few moments.]

...We have never spoken much. But I shall try.

[skyagain]

... Good luck.

[ cloud could volunteer to ask. he won't. ]

[ktiseos]

[cloud... you are abandoning him

it's 100% valid tbh]

I may well need it.
