[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?

...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
