> Sometimes revenge isn't about the gore, sometimes it's a mercy kill. You aren't in the mood to convince him of that, these are all hypotheticals anyways. No, you'll lean back into him and abandon your hoodie strings, crossing your arms and staring forward instead. "There isn't a whole lot of me to be focused on." You don't say that from the same angle he would, there isn't a whole lot of him because he's a husk, there isn't a whole lot of you because you really aren't that interesting or complicated. You're sure he'll burn through all your little mysteries and rage fits fast enough and then what? You part ways? He gets bored? He already seems tired of you and yet here he is, braiding your hair in his bed. Maybe after it's all said and done, it's your turn to solve him. Not everything is a puzzle, not every person has some deep mystery, but if anyone did or was it would be Zegama. "Besides, if you were only focused one me we wouldn't be talking about potential murder suspects." It's a joke, you're joking, just a segway to avoid asking any questions that would be uncomfortable for the both of you. 02:48:20

incongruousGrandeur [] joined chat. ~~ 39 ~~ 02:49:12

> "Trust me, there's more than enough to occupy myself woth, with or without a rainbowdrinker on the loose." And there's certainly no shortage of this hair. They have so much, you couldn't imaginw letting yours getting any longer than it is at the moment. Feels like the perfect length for yourself, any more would just be... heavy. You'd gotten closer to the end of this little task though, "I'm sure you'll be happy to be rid of me once this tournament business is handled, no more having to be bogged down by my problems." Which in part is why you think your decision is a good one- what's the term? Utilitarian? No... that's something else entirely. It's not an ultimatum... is it a Deafetist sort of choice you're making? Hm. You should have paid more attention in your literature classes, maybe you'd know then. Doesn't exactly matter though does it? You hum a bit as you start putting the finishing touches on the braid. 02:58:15

incongruousGrandeur [] joined chat. ~~ 39 ~~ 03:08:02

> You haven't cut your hair more than a trim in sweeps, she liked it long, it's become force of habit to keep it this way. You frown at his comment about dying "What makes you say that? I don't know enough of your problems to be bogged down." This entire interaction has been weirdly nice, even that last sentence. You guess as much as you dislike him, wanting him gone is a little far. Not that you'd care if he wasn't here, you do still have a level of animosity towards him, but you have too much respect to stand by and watch him meet his fate or whatever he thinks is going to happen after the fight. You also don't like that attitude in general, that kind of nihilism isn't productive. Then theres the matter of the topic, you were avoiding the tournament and all the questions linked to it but.. here we go. "What do you think is going to happen to you after the tournament? You'll spontaneously combust or something? The sky will rain down just one asteroid specifically as a fuck you and blow you up? The other team will hunt you for sport? You seem dead set on the idea of dying." 03:11:58

> "Who said anything about dying?" You hadn't let one of these pervasive thoughts slip out did you? You can't remember. You haven't exactly been too keen on keeping your thoughts in your pan lately, had a few errors here and there, but nothing serious enough to warrant any concern- no more than usual, anyways. You shrug a bit as you complete the braid, running your hand over the hair notches— you always liked the texture of a good braid or bun of hair, "Anything is possible, but I'd say the second to last option is most likely. It's not like winning means they stop being the group that they are." But it also does provide a bit of security. Once bite makes them twice as shy, so it stands to reason they won't try anything against your Family or the college any time soon if you win, "I negotiated that 'No Killing' rule as a safeguard for everyone on my side, but thw drawback is it will also allow them to keep all their "top players" of their organization, but as for me? I just won't be.. very involved with anyone afterwards is all. I'll be back to working- if they don't fire me when it's over." 03:25:34

> With how he's been talking you could only assume he meant death "You're getting rid of your stuff and acting like no one will ever see you again, it sure seems like you intend on dying." Maybe a fight to the death would be better, easier, cleaner.. But then you wouldn't fight, hes already struggling to find fighters as it is. "And you call me a workaholic." In the way he speaks you can tell he's keeping an important amount to himself, if you had the full story this would be easier, you put a mini interrogation on your to do list. "and why would they fire you? I thought this was just business." A board mandated brawl for honor or some shit like that, maybe he told you more in the past but you sure as hell can't remember it. 05:53:14

> Hm. What should you say to all that? For a good few moments you decide silence is a good enough response, opting to play with their newly completed braid. You sling it over the front of their shoulder the way it is intended to be. You weren't giving their words much consideration as you moved from fiddling with the braid to rubbing at their shoulders— what your hands feel is expected and you suppose you've left them hanging by a thread long enough. Guess you have an answer for anything thrown your way anyhow, "You're a dysfunctional workaholic, and I'm a super functional one. Besides, can't spell "Business" without "Busy". They just hide it with an 'I' instead of a 'Y'." You keep at your light massage, allowing yourself some minor reprieve before continuing, "Well, they were supportive of how I managed to barter with these guys, doesn't mean it was the best play any of us could make. I doubt it will happen, but like I said anything's possible. As for the rest of my stuff? Well, that's for me to talk about with Blanca." 20:21:50

> He's spewing bullshit. You let him rub your shoulders, you understand the need to keep your hands busy. Your shoulders however, are full of muscle knots and your skin is covered in sheet like scales of smooth yellow exoskeleton around your neck and throat. There's also the cybernetics snaking across the top of your shoulder, which are being padded some by your hoodie but pointy little bits still aren't going to be very fun for his hands. You go silent for a bit yourself, thinking over that I Y business word vomit. That doesn't even grammatically make sense. You also doubt that there are two different kinds of workaholic, is his work style better than yours if he plans on dropping off the face of the planet for it? Or maybe he's just going into hiding. You're sure all of those tasty questions could be answered if you could fill the void in your knowledge, but instead you decided to play night tonight so you don't get to know. "still sounds like you plan on dying to me, not that I could convince you otherwise if it was true." Talking people down from bloody fates is NOT your strong suit, you seem to have a particular talent for saying the wrong thing at the exact right time to get the worst possible outcome. 21:22:47

> "Mhmmm..." Lowbloods and their bodies... Mother Grub really does her stuff well. You should chat up a wayward Jade and get the rundown how one works. Little late to be having thoughts like that, but you would be a liar— well more of a liar— if you said you weren't curious. Well, maybe even a Jade doesn't know how the Mother Grub functions in her entirety. Regardless, you focus more on the knots, you have a vague hunch that [i]maybe[/i] the metal won't be as receptive to your soothing touches, but what do you know? You don't mind getting prickled or poked by some bits of alloy or whatever. It would take more than that to make you bleed. Saaaaaaayyy a bat swing you leaned into perhaps? Something in that stickball arena, "If I were planning to die, I would probably be out doing who knows what. Probably would have given you your gift by now, too. And then there's my will, which I honestly should work on anyways, keeps the confusion to a minimum whenever that time comes." You squish their shoulders and draw their arms closer to their side, "I can still get you a gift, though." 22:20:08

> You let out a small hiss when he focuses on the knots, it hurts but it's a necessary evil if you want your neck to hurt less. You laugh a little but it comes out as more of a scoff "Why would you get me a gift, i've done nothing but harass you so far." A gift? What would he even get you? Would that mean you have to give him something? There's no way whatever he gives you won't be some last fuck you before he vanishes, a bomb or poison or something, or even worse, a glitter bomb. "and you would be doing who knows what if you weren't here." 22:59:12
