[ch. 6] thursday morning, w/ evan & souji

[asswipe]

[... These meetings feel lonely now that their numbers are down to three, but. That's fine. This is fine. Everything is fine. Either way, Veronica looks a little haggard when she drags them both to somewhere private. That's nothing out of the ordinary nowadays, though.]

Have you two been working on your objectives?

Comments

[sanguinairy]

[TO BE FAIR, if she's a Historian she should still know that balance is important even with Evan encouraging her to complete her objectives!! But Souji bites his tongue on that one, and leaves it up to them to work out. He doesn't know Rebecca very well anyway, even if he has nothing against her personally.

As for the rest:]

On the floor in my room, there's a cookbook with a blue spine that has a hole at the bottom. If I die, open the spine and take what's inside. It should have everything you need.

[Of course he's Prepared for this, he's been slowly dying the entire game.]

[selfinserting]

...Neither of you are going to die, okay? So don't say anything like that. But - I keep the orb under my bed if you need it, just in case.

[But once that's out of the way, he gives Veronica a glance, shaking his head.]

You aren't an, an asshole, I promise. You didn't know. But - I'll talk to her tomorrow.

[asswipe]

[She sombres up as she realizes that Souji has a failsafe in the event that he dies, but. Well. It's practical. So she doesn't insist that he'll be okay, unlike Evan.]

... Thank you, Souji. Does your partner know about this? [Better to be sure just in case one of them has to break into Stabby Ion's room, lbr.

But also—]

If you talk to her, don't tell her you know she's a Historian. Just— You can say you wrote to Beauty and got a letter back, or... something? I can get you a forgery if she asks to see it.

[sanguinairy]

[Evan gets a little smile in response to his Evan-ness, because it's endearing, honestly. But he's practical despite his eccentricities, especially when it comes to death.

Veronica gets a little nod in response to the thanks; a polite, wordless "of course".]

I'll let him know tonight.

[He'll give Stabby Ion a list of people not to stab, it's fine, they're fine.]

[selfinserting]

[He's definitely giving them both a Look as they both move past his insistence, but he doesn't say anything else about it.]

Yeah. I won't tell her anything like that. I mean, the letter Varian shared with everyone mentioned the other two factions needed to step it up, so... I can just say that's why I was thinking about it.

[A shrug.]

I'll bring it up with her tomorrow, and we can all regroup after that or something.

[asswipe]

[She nods.]

... Okay. That's our plan, then. [Hopefully survive and then regroup. God.] I don't have anything else to add, so unless one of you has something they want to share...?

[sanguinairy]

[A little nod! Sounds good to him.]

Regrouping tomorrow sounds like the best idea.

[Hopefully none of them are dead!! Y...yay...]

[selfinserting]

...Yeah, that sounds good.

[But, given how the other two brought up the possibility of one of them Super Dying tonight:]

You guys be careful, okay?

one last tag so i can 🖕🖕🖕 at eli

[asswipe]

... You, too. I'll see you guys in the morning, okay? Be safe.

[Gosh, how tragic it would be if one of them showed up



super dead
