[ch. 2] post-trial, w/ belph

[asswipe]

[everything has happened so much?? when veronica spots Belph, she sighs.]

I don't know if I should be happy that we learned something useful or... not.

[they had to watch a man kiss a corpse for it. it was not worth it.]

If Natsuo really does come back, it'll be a miracle.

[he wants to hope so badly, but he's afraid of being let down.]

[asswipe]

Well, miracles better exist because the Crafters won't have to worry about setting the execution up if he doesn't.

[she's going to rip fitz and sandy's throats out, is what she's saying.]

[axilium]

... Holy cow, I didn't know you had it in you, Veronica!

[asswipe]

... I'm just going to beat them up a little, Jesus!

[is she tho]

[axilium]

Are you?

[asswipe]

Do I look like someone who has the stomach to kill two men out of revenge?

[axilium]

It's always the ones you never suspect.

[asswipe]

Well in this case, it's definitely not the ones you never suspect.

[axilium]

I dunno, you constantly have that expression that makes it seem like you're about to slap someone.

[asswipe]

I mean... You're not wrong about that.

[axilium]

See? That's already the first step.

[asswipe]

There's, uh, a big leap from slapping someone to killing them.

[axilium]

Accidental murder?

[asswipe]

Who the hell slaps another person so hard they die?

[axilium]

Maybe you're much stronger than you look!

[asswipe]

I think you're mixing me up with the android among us.

[axilium]

C'mon, where's your ambition?

[asswipe]

My ambition is not getting executed for murder.

[axilium]

... I suppose that's an admirable goal.

[asswipe]

It's called a survival instinct.

[SIGHS.]

... By the way, what do you think about this whole... Historians deal? It's starting to sound like we need to complete our objectives sooner rather than later.

[axilium]

... Yeah. Or else it'll end badly for us, according to the Dragon? Whatever that means...

[asswipe]

I can't think of anything that could be worse than death, but... I don't know. Maybe our souls are going to be stuck in this hell forever. That sounds bad enough.

[axilium]

... I'd say eternal hell is worse than death, yeah.
