Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

Doing what?

[Confusion???]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[Looks confused...must just be feelings deja-vu, which is surely a thing]

...Forget it.

Thought you said you had a normal life back before. That seemed not so much?

[Since that is a good segue,]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

...Ahhh. Well, my life was complicated for various reasons, but it's not really an issue anymore.

[Waving his hand a little, like he's dismissing it.]

Truthfully, that world had some supernatural elements, but someone wished them away when they graduated. So now it really is a normal world.

[Fret fret fret fret.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Seems like that'd change everything about everybody, wouldn't it-- Seriously though, is that you being anxious?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

Anxious?

[Wow! That's a spike in his anxiety!!]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Yeah--u-ugh, like that, stop it. 'S making me nauseous...

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[W......ait.]

I don't feel anything from you...

Is it some kind of one-sided emotion sharing thing-?

[Well. The anxiety stops.

Because now it's just fear!]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[Not better]

I guess? --Can you please stop freaking out? It's giving me the willies.

You ain't drank no Alcheme potions or nothing lately, have you?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[He shakes his head - and catches sight of the faint glow from his earring.

Oh, now he's annoyed.]

...Shit.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[Cocks her head, following his gaze best she can]

...Wait. This ain't like...? Those things do this, too?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

Maybe? The other day my body kept going transparent whenever I wasn't touching someone else, but it seems to have stopped for now.

[Panic has now been overtaken by frustration.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Sounds annoying... Hurricane ain't had none of those things.

[The 'yet' goes unspoken]

...Being able to go around invisible don't seem all that bad, though. People'd actually leave you alone, I guess.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

It was a matter of becoming incorporeal, I think. I figured it out because my harmonica fell right through my hands while I was playing it.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Could be the world talking about your taste in music...

[She doesn't indulge much in the lame crack, though]

...That thing come with a manual? Or you just gotta wait and see how many weird things it's gonna switch around and do to you?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

No manual. But I guess it does double as both a punishment for us and entertainment for the audience.

[A deep-seated feeling of resignation.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

...You eat shit a lot, huh.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

Are you kidding? That's pretty much sensitIV's official pastime.

[That sense of resignation doesn't lessen in the least.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

...Huh.

[A pause, as if somehow just realizing this for the first time]

You never tried like. Not doing that...?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[..........Incredulous.]

I mean. Yes? But sometimes we do everything right and even win, but right at the end someone practically killed us.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Well, yeah. That's just life. Things're always bad for no real reason.

Just...figured you guys wouldn't run into as much of that, I guess.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[He shrugs.]

When there's an option, people probably try to spare the units that have people important to them, right?

In our case, we have connections, but... well, there's an understanding our members can take care of themselves, I'm sure.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[He doesn't need a memory share to see the uncertainty on her face]

...One you're actually cool with?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

We're good at scraping ourselves off the floor, aren't we?

[Grinning, even if he's feeling bitter.]

...Besides, it's not like I want to be spared just because we're convenient, either. If we don't have connections with people who think we're worth protecting, then that's that.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[She opens her mouth, then closes it again when she realises she doesn't really have anything worth saying to that]

...'S still shitty. Don't gotta pretend like it's okay if it ain't.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

I think it's easier for us that way. that's all. I doubt there's anyone on the unit who wants to be pitied, either.
