/ pls feel better soon.. much love eli 🙏🙏

[ * Now, it could be worse; you're in a rather peaceful place. Better to not fire at anyone undeserving. ]

[ * ...But you got a GUN. With NO BULLETS. The joke is a little lost on you. ]

[ * You twirl your gun around with a look of utmost concentration. ]

[ * You've already fiddled with it a bit - there's no bullets. No clip, no magazine, no ammo of any flavor. The thought of having to run with this a second time sours your expression considerably. ]

/ always forever

[ * ...You nod. ]

(Okay.)

[ * You note how she steps forward, then back, and your heart twists just a little. You know she struggles with touch, but... well, shame on you for being selfish. You got lucky finding her when you did. At least she was nice about it. ]

/ i do not believe you At All but if you say so!

(Yes. I don't know how long it will take.)

[ * About a week, you'd estimate. ]

(I'll try not to get into any trouble.)
(...Glad you found me so soon.)

/ hehe

[ * You'd assume you won't be, but you don't really know what happens after. Maybe you'll be a vessel for somebody else after. Maybe you'll be free to do as you want. You shrug half-heartedly, for the future will only bring dread. ]

(I could always ask. I guess.)

> Of course
💚 Not a chance

[ * That's not what you're here to do, anyway. You are to supplement Kris' presence in a world lacking them, or at least kind of lacking them; what happens to you after doesn't matter one bit. ]

[ * Living would be nice, but you admit you don't really care. ]

[ * This will have effects on an economy somewhere, but you do not quite know where - nor why this thought occurred to you in the first place. ]

(If I'm here, I think he has to be.)

[ * You don't mind waiting. This body isn't too dissimilar from your own. ]

[ * ...You are stone-silent. ]

[ * But not for very long. ]

> Kris
> Cass
> Eidolon

[ * You introduce yourself with the Doctor's given name, because she already knows who you are on the inside. ]

(You denied Chairiel's words in the sassiest cadence you have ever used in front of them.)
(You selfishly wished Kris only lead you instead of even assuming there were other Ralseis in the picture.)
(...They love you.)

[ * come the fuck on now ]

[ * You have options. You have many options, in fact, and your hands move before you can pick just one. ]

(Kris wanted to be The Knight for Halloween and asked you to help them. You made a potion with yellow and blue bottles.)
(You called them pretty after making them act like a dog.)

[ * You tilt your head. Are you that obvious? ]

(Yes, to an extent. We are not always on the same page.)
(...Case in point.)

[ * Not that you care. If your previous history is to be regarded as truth, you were often at the opposing end of December's righteous vengeance. Maybe this was that. ]

(...Annoying, though. I got careless and paid for it almost immediately.)

[ * You nod. Of course the Doctor would have saved you. You wouldn't even be doing what you do without him. ]

(I guess that makes sense. It's the easiest explanation.)

[ * Not that you really care to consider alternatives. You're not even sure you needed this one. ]

[ * This is sort of true. You remember your body being taken, and after that was black. When you opened your eyes you were back in your bed, in a body that wasn't quite yours. ]

[ * You shrug. It's not great, but it could be a whole lot worse. ]

(Knight got me. Soul wasn't there to fix me.)

[ * Not that you were alone. Not that someone didn't try to help. You don't blame them for failing to; how could they have? Unless they sacrificed themself to you, which would only perpetuate the problem. ]

(...I don't know what happened after.)

[ * ...Oh, wait. Wait, that's... ]

[ * Something stops you from shaking your head before you move. You sign back slowly, so she can properly understand you. ]

(Yes. Mostly, anyway.)

(If you don't believe me that's fine. But I know what I saw, and what I am.)

[ * It's kind of a heavy sell, isn't it? To be a person who looks and acts so differently, insisting they're someone they're "not"? ]

[ * Your gaze flicks around the room. The fact it's still so clean is nice, if a bit... not *troubling*, per se, but you'd like to think a little clutter makes it look lived in. This was to be a second home to you, in a sense, right? ]

[ * Well, maybe not *now*, but. You know. ]

(Kris. I didn't lie about that.)
(We talked before about my SOUL saving me from death, right? ...Well, I died without it. So now I've been put into someone else.)

[ * It's still a little funny, but there's no time to laugh about it. If there was you wouldn't even be in here right now. ]

(I wish. I wanted to do something with the water cooler, but... someone got there first.)

[ * In hindsight, you're kind of stupid for choosing something that struggles to move. But not every plan is made by a genius, evidently. ]

[ * ... ]
[ * You'd love to say that it's nothing, but nobody seems to really be with you on that one. ]
[ * You also can't say anything. ]

/ LMAOOO hello hello

/ so used to ban being cooked in the romance game that bantat has made me time and time again pop off like those 4 guys in front of the tv

/ snowy will be back soon too... 🥰

/ fuuuuuck i just saw the time. ok. replies tomorrow. smile

(I'd prefer not to. Normally if I do, it doesn't matter.)
(No promises. As long as things don't go like that again, which... I mean. How likely is that?)
