[ Well, today's trial might be over, but that's not the only trial they've got. Four people will be partnerless tomorrow, but only two will come out of it alive.
And he's got a pretty good idea where one of those four is, so he heads straight to the volcano. ]
Yo, Vally.
[ he's not sure what to say other than that, so far. ]
WEEK 1, SATURDAY
And he's got a pretty good idea where one of those four is, so he heads straight to the volcano. ]
Yo, Vally.
[ he's not sure what to say other than that, so far. ]
no subject
[Still not willing to use anybody's name just yet. Death is coming for two out of four and there's incredibly little he can do about it.
At least his features soften into a smile.]
Good work today.
no subject
[ rude? rude. he stretches out a bit, looking up. ]
It coulda been a lot worse, yeah. At least we got one of 'em.
no subject
Maybe if I live through Sunday.
[haha. not happening.]
There's still one left, but this is a better outcome than most.
no subject
Well now I'm gonna hold you to that, y'know.
[ he has a long memory!! ]
Yeah. But the fact that there were three total this week isn't ... great.
no subject
I did say maybe.
[He pauses because it's a weird thing to say.]
We're lucky one of the corrupted was killed by someone else. [He's "lucky" his partner was killed.]
no subject
[ speaking of his partner... ]
Did you know him much? Your partner.
no subject
No. We didn't speak as much as I would've liked. He seems to have made better relationships with other people.
[Can't fault him for that. Not all people are meant to get along.]
no subject
[ for example: hisoka. ]
no subject
[Since Lea has not been sleeping in his own house these days.]
no subject
Hisoka's Hisoka.
[ that's it. that's all he's got. ]
no subject
Seems like a difficult partnership.
no subject
[ he sighs ]
... But better me than some of the others around here.
no subject
[Also there are so many teenagers here? It's worrying.
... Is this what writing out a will feels like? He'd rather not have a repeat.]
Do your best to take care of the others.
no subject
[ he's not a martyr most of the time, okay. but for the last part... ]
Yeah. I'll try.
[ oh no. is he gonna have to read medical books. fuck. ]
no subject
[Val appreciates not being tethered to the weird clown so much, actually.]
Good. It may be difficult, but try to learn about everyone else. It'll likely help in the future.
[hell yea, med books. learn about some poisons.]
no subject
[ like. he'll try but. damn val don't put your eggs all in the axel basket it's a bad one ]
no subject
[Or is it the perfect basket?? Hm??]
The teenagers might need more help than the adults though.
no subject
[ it's a terrible basket don't IF HIM ON THAT
also he sighs, rubbing the back of his neck ]
No kidding. They're kinda going through a lot.
[ also they are dropping... like flies... ]
no subject
I can't imagine it's going to get any easier as the weeks run on.
no subject
[ put that bad juju back in before the universe sees it ]
no subject
It'll happen one way or another. Just because you say something doesn't make it more or less likely to come true.
no subject
[ lea is fake superstitious for humor. mostly. sometimes. ]
no subject
[There's a little pause and then he perks up.]
Oh, but I know this human one. A sardine head in some cultures is used to ward off evil.
[OF COURSE it's about sardines.]
no subject
... Does that actually work?
