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?

[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.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... But there's gotta be someplace between making a big scene about it and having to hide away how you feel forever. I ain't saying you gotta go completely the other direction, but maybe land somewhere in the middle...?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[Okay, that just gives him a feeling of amusement, and he bursts out laughing.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

...What?

There's no way it's that funny...

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

SensitIV pretty much always loses at games about sharing emotions for a reason.

[So, yes, it is in fact funny.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[Possibly pouting a little,]

Just 'cause you lose all the time don't mean you gotta be losers about it.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

It's just how we are. I wonder if it's a qualifying trait for getting on the unit in the first place...?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

...Could be. Prolly easier to stay on-brand if everybody like that's in the same place.
