[ch. 3] post-trial, w/ belph

[asswipe]

[What a hecking mess.

Anyway, the first thing Veronica is going to say when she spots Belph is:]

We fucked up.

... Who knows? He seemed pretty attached to Monika.

[asswipe]

Attached enough that he'd go suicidal on us? It... It was a lot.

[axilium]

... Even if you chalk it up to grief, it was... pretty jarring.

[asswipe]

I know. I'm worried something might have gone wrong when he came back.

[axilium]

That would seriously suck. We can't spend the entire time babysitting him and dealing with his zombie brain, or whatever.

[asswipe]

I know, but what else can we do? We can't ignore him until he snaps and kills one of us to test that shitty theory of his, either.

[axilium]

[he just groans and throws his hands up in the air, because hell if he knows.]

[asswipe]

[THAT'S A MOOD.]

... God, this gets worse and worse. [lord, save them.] Then there's the whole mess with the letters, too.

[axilium]

Right? Dealing with the Crafters is enough, but now Beauty and Beast and the dead are thrown into the mix...

[asswipe]

Exactly. But... I guess we know for sure that the dead are somewhere, and not gone forever. That means we really do have a chance to rescue them, right?

[axilium]

... Yeah. We just have to figure out how.

[asswipe]

No pressure, right?

[she is weary and this is so much easier said than done, rip.]

By the way— Weird question. But you haven't gotten a letter like that yourself, right? Or... Anything that isn't from the rulebook, I guess? What you said to Ion made it sound like you've been writing to the dead.

[axilium]

I tried writing to Beauty? Got a letter back, mainly about how completing objectives is key or whatever.

[asswipe]

Oh. So... similar to what Ion got? [HUH.] Do you have it with you?

[axilium]

Nope, sorry.

[asswipe]

Well. If you ever do have it with you, I'd like to take a look. That is, um... if you're willing to share, obviously.

[axilium]

Mm, sure. Later, maybe.
