What? Oh, no, like. Dolls? It wanted to play dolls with us, basically? It was really big on watching people indulge.

So it just wanted to watch you murder? That's... an interesting interpretation of indulgence.

But it sounds the most similar to our current circumstances.

Murder was something people kind of just did. Indulgences were just about any of the sins. Anyway, yeah, it's freaking my bean a bit, I'll be honest.

[ hm

he nods slowly ]

So much for my efforts to divert toward something more innocuous.

[okay, she laughs at that.]

I mean, yeah, furbies usually are, you just hit the shit jackpot. It's fine.

In my head I imagined you being gently attacked by small, furry creatures.

And - that's innocuous to you?

Like... kittens?

God, I wish. [she hands him the champagne bottle.] Anyway. You enjoy this while you can.

[ He accepts it, pouring more into his flute because he's a fancy boy. ]

You don't plan to drink once the danger starts?

For sure, but then it won't be enjoying it! It'll be a coping mechanism. [she says this so cheerfully]

[ askldfjasd HELP THAT makes him snort so suddenly he gets champagne up his nose and starts coughing. [

Stop that, don't die! [she says, laughing as she leans over to like, pat his back.] It's too early!

You almost got me with that honesty of yours.

[ he coughs ]

How diabolical.

[more patting!]

Yeah, it'll get you when you're not expecting it. You gonna live?

I think I'll manage.

[ grabs a tissue to delicately dab his mouth ]

I hope you didn't worry too much.

Oh, I was beside myself. [she nudges him. teasing:] But I'll manage.

Yeah? Want me to hold your hand? Assuage your concerns?

[she ain't no scrub she'll win this game of chicken. she holds out her hand for him to take? tadaaa.]

[ Oh yeah, Lup is tactile.

Well, they're holding hands now. ]

[she sure is! she also has no shame, so she'll sit here forever holding his hand, which is very funny.]

I feel very assuaged.

[ He's drinking. ]

I bet you tell all the guys that.

Eh. Maybe half. Half of that I actually mean.

Can I ask what factors into your sincerity?

It varies. Mostly it's how much I actually like them. Usually you have to play with me in the space a bit to get in my good graces. Banter. You know.
