Oh, not really. I've just been taking a walk.

[ it's very relaxing after someone died horribly. anyway. ]

Are you doing well?

[fleuris]

[ her mouth twists at that question. ]

I'm doing. That's probably better than some can claim.

[ like Escha ]

[warmness]

Oh, yes. Today was quite sad, wasn't it?

[ escha melting and all. ]

[fleuris]

It was goddamn pointless.

[ is she angry? is she sad? she can't tell - all she knows is that the world has once again proved itself to be stupidly unfair. ]

Killing her doesn't even accomplish anything. There wasn't a demon.

[warmness]

Hm, true, true...

[ wait til they find out she got melted for no reason ]

I wonder why we had to do that then?

[fleuris]

[ i'm sure that'll go over Just Fine ]

Because we're stuck listening to some stupid recording of an asshole that thinks he's better than us.

[ the compulsions are super weird, you gotta admit ]

[warmness]

Hm? Well, I'm not sure if he thinks he's better.

[ lots of people apparently died, so it doesn't seem like they did any better ]

[fleuris]

He thinks we're not "worthy" and didn't bother to cough up info on how this stupid thing works. If that doesn't qualify, I don't know what does.

[ the guy seems to relish in people dying, if nothing else ]

[warmness]

... we'll just have to figure it out on our own then, right?

Everyone here is very smart.

[fleuris]

[ uhhhhhhhhhh weeeeeeeell...]

And how many are going to die in-between now and then?

[warmness]

Well, hopefully we'll figure out that part, too.

[ yea! ]

[fleuris]

Yeah, that's really fucking comforting.

[ I'm sure everyone who dies will be cool with that. ]

Forget it. Do you know what a battery is?

[warmness]

[ she tilts her head ]

What for?

[fleuris]

Because I don't know what it is, and Kagachi didn't know shit.

[ and the list of people she wants to ask is extremely limited. ]

So?

[warmness]

It powers things...?

I don't really know too much.

[fleuris]

[ ... honestly, what had she been expecting? ]

Maybe I'll just find a giant, labeled pile of them somewhere.

[warmness]

Do you need one or something?

[fleuris]

[ she pulls a face. ]

Maybe? Mostly, I was just curious - one of the others mentioned it.

[ and she didn't want to clue them in that she didn't know what was what ]

[warmness]

[ hm ]

I will find out what it is.

[fleuris]

You don't have to. I'll figure it out sooner or later.

[ will Grune even remember deciding to figure it out... ]

[warmness]

Oh, but I'd still like to help!

[ it's a mystery ]

[fleuris]

[ uhhhhhhhhhh ]

Why?

[warmness]

Why what?

[fleuris]

Why offer to help me?

[ Zero it's just battery info she hasn't even said she'll try to find them or anything ]

[warmness]

Because you wanted to know more about it?

[fleuris]

Uh... huh. And you want...?

[ something, right? ]

[warmness]

A... high five?

[fleuris]

[ ....................... ]

... I see. Uh. Okay. You figure out batteries, I'll give you a... high five...

[warmness]

Yaaaay.

[ she claps!! delighted!! ]

[fleuris]

Uh. Sure. Congratulations?

[ what the hell just happened ]
