[ :D ]

Anyway, we share a goal, right? It turns out we didn’t need to beat on each other to get answers. Choose a position and we can go see where we really are.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Uh, what goal is that? We're just here to be entertainment for demons, y'know. That's not exactly some noble quest or whatever you've got cooked up in your dumb brain.

[emptymind]

Not that, I said it. “To get answers.” Or are you fine already from the phones? For me, I feel like I won’t understand anything until I’ve at least laid eyes on it.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Tch...

I'm just sick of being cooped up in freakin' Camelot. I got mine, girlie. [He taps his unit position, burgundy.] Go pick yours already.

[emptymind]

[ abruptly leans in close to stare at his screen ]

Ahh! You did! Then let’s go! Arara, shoes, I’ll get shoes first.

[ and practically sprints (barefoot) off to her closet. she is not changing entirely she is definitely just grabbing a pair of boots and running straight back out with them in hand ]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He just stands there for a second, deflating with a mix of incredulity and annoyance. What, was she still expecting them to go out there together? 'Let's go,' she said...

No way. She broke his fucking arm! He didn't want to be anywhere near that bitch!...

...]

2/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

[. . . FINE whatever. He was gonna have to throw on some pants and boots anyway.

Sighing deeply, he met up with her back at the door.]

Let's just get this over with...

Re: 2/2

[emptymind]

Yeah!

[ THROWS THE DOOR OPEN!!!

and goes to hit the elevator button before bending over to actually put her own boots on. wrapping the laces around and tying them off in a hurry instead of lacing them up properly ]

Re: 2/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Stares at her rushed shoelace job. Something in him wants to scold her and get them tied up properly so she didn't, like, trip or anything.

But also, fuck her? And he'd love to see her fall on her face.]

... Why're you so psyched to go explore, anyway? You're acting like a little kid.

Re: 2/2

[emptymind]

[ the knots themselves are pretty secure and she taps the toe of each boot against the ground to check them, it just doesn’t look very pretty ]

Why would I wanna waste time?

Re: 2/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

[It's not even like he disagrees with the notion of scoping things out, but considering her idiot idea of efficiency was palm striking him, he just feels the need to be contrary]

No point being in a rush, either. We're gonna be stuck here for god know how long, nothing's going anywhere.

Re: 2/2

[emptymind]

Mm, still. Standing and reading about things just makes me more antsy. Right now my skull is empty, so I don’t know what I might see at all. Everything’s new. It’s like being born.

[ steps onto the elevator ]

Re: 2/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

Uh, gross.

[cool, not an awkward elevator ride at all]

Re: 2/2

[emptymind]

Is it? Which part?

Re: 2/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

Being born's just a whole lotta crying, screaming, and being covered in blood and shit.

Re: 2/2

[emptymind]

[ laughs gently ]

That almost makes it sound like battle. I guess that means some people begin and end the same way?

Re: 2/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Darkly,]

Helpless? Yeah, guess so.

Re: 2/2

[emptymind]

Mm. But battle and childbirth are both embedded in society, so I guess helplessness must be too.

Hey, what does your profile say?

Re: 2/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

[GEEZ girl

He eyes her with sudden suspicion]

Why?

Re: 2/2

[emptymind]

Mine said something I don’t really understand, but it was interesting. Since we were talking about death, I thought of it again, so I wondered if yours said anything like that, too?

[ actually she has realized she can just look at it herself and is pulling her phone back out to hunt down his profile ]

Ah, I don’t understand it either.

Re: 2/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Grumble] It's just calling me an idiot, pretty sure.

[Which like, fair? But also, not the kind of guff he wants to take from a profile. Since they were on the subject though, he does take a glance at hers, too]

... Sounds pretentious.

Re: 2/2

[emptymind]

Maybe. But do you think it’s wrong?

Re: 2/2

[gigadevilbreaker]

Honour sounds like a load of crock - how's it worth dying for something that vague?

1/2

[emptymind]

Hmm. I don’t know.

Re: 2/2

[ elevator ding ]

Ohh! We’re here!
