[ It's a pretty ordinary night, isn't it - ?

But maybe you're waiting for someone . . . ]

[He brushes past Medusa as well as if he doesn't even see him.

And locks himself in the FiN bathroom for the next 3 minutes and well, sounds like he's trying not to be violently ill]

[resonantblue]

[well...

when he eventually exits, he'll find her sitting in the main room, calmly and quietly, with her hands folded in her lap]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

[Staring at her joints.

What.

the.

fuck?]

Those didn't revert back?

[resonantblue]

No. And that is not my primary concern in this moment.

You are clearly not okay, so how "not okay" are you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Holds up his remaining hand which has a ring made of bone now on his index finger]

I'm beholden to one of the strongest demons in Hell now.

That's how "not okay" I am.

[resonantblue]

What have you done?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Now why do you think I did anything?

[resonantblue]

...are you saying that demon made you indebted to them for no reason?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well let's go through the available options, shall we?

Nemesis and Yugi were missing their heads.

Requiem was a charred corpse.

King was glued to the side of his headless soulbonded facetwin and snippy as hell.

And Hurricane started throwing in antes like "the rest of my eternal suffering" as a bargaining chip.

So there was no one else to close the deal.

[resonantblue]

[Please Hold as she processes this and tries her hardest to keep herself cool]

W-what does he expect from you? What are you supposed to do? What now?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's not like I was in a position to ask or bargain.

But---

If it ever looks like I'm going to endanger Future is Now, I need to be taken out without question. And this is true of everyone on the unit, so please do not pull a solo burden act.

I don't have the patience for that right now.

[resonantblue]

[tmw you're still trying to process that your friends were killed and your basically unit leader is in a deal with the devil and you need to ask a million questions one at a time]

You would need taken out by one of them—or one of us?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One of you.

I don't trust any of their judgement to find their way out of a paper bag at this point.

[justpure]

. . . [Oh.

Medusa is standing right outside the door when Intensity comes out of the bathroom.]

Welcome home...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Everyone make it back to the glass prison in one piece?

[justpure]

... If you mean Imeeji, then I believe the only ones unaccounted for were you and your cohorts.

[He's not gonna block your way out, but he will follow you around for a bit.]

May I get you anything? Water, perhaps?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He's not leaving the dorm. He just sits down immediately and starts texting people]

Whatever.

[justpure]

... I'll take that as a yes, then.

[He's gonna excuse himself to the lobby kitchen for a moment... And he returns about 15 minutes later with a fresh glass of water. With ice. And even a straw.

How's Intensity holding up?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Intensity has a crazed look in his eye that means distinctly "not okay".

But if you leave him alone for 15 minutes - then he will already be elbow deep in work]

[justpure]

Here is your water, sir.

[... How does Intensity react?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He glances at it.

But then goes back to furiously writing down notes.

And cursing.

Lots and lots of under his breath cursing]

[justpure]

[... No reaction.]

... Intensity?

[He's going to try and steal a glance of those notes while he's still hovering nearby.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[They mostly detail the abilities of a demon with lightning and metal controlling powers.

And that sometimes he head splits open and he's a demon deer.

And that he loves his wife.

Yep.

All that]

[justpure]

. . .

[He just... Keeps watching Intensity. Waiting for some sort of opening to speak.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Are you staring at him, Medusa?]

What?
