[ hahahahaha yeah!!! he was! thinking that too!! ]

Doubt we'd notice until it was too late. [ ahhh. hateful. ] Worried it'll get more powerful when we fuck up, too. Especially if we can only catch - or vote, or whatever, pick one person.

[disingenuous]

[ It's tough being goth and broody, huh? ]

Do you think that's something the Residents would be able to tell? They're more attuned to the Prism than we are.

[ Because it's not a theory she can refute. It seems sound, actually. Absolutely hateful. ]

[daggering]

[ sometimes you are cursed with a life of being goth, broody, and attractive (no) ]

...Iunno. Maybe. [ that's not a bad idea, though. vax sighs, a big, heavy noise, and stares up at the sky for a moment. ] Feels like everything's spiraled out of control for them, too.

[disingenuous]

[ but actually what if yes...?

He looks up. She closes her eyes. ]

There's something to be said of solidarity, but I'd like us to receive a paddle to go up this creek.

[daggering]

[ i mean yeah have you SEEN roxana

this gets him to laugh, a soft, humorless noise. ]

Fuck, me too. Don't think we can make that out of colors.

[disingenuous]

We'll have to keep trying until we shake that machine free of every gumball.

[ Even if keeping track of gumballs in the future is going to be a headache. ]

[daggering]

[ this

this makes him actually laugh? help. it's the why-the-hell-are-we-stuck-in-this-ridiculous-situation kind of laugh, the kind you can't help. a sort of wryness to it, as he drops his head and then lifts it again. nine hells. ]

...You ever think you'd be stuck in a situation where you were talking so seriously about a fucking gumball? I didn't even know what that was until I got here.

[ She has to smile a little in return. Phrased that way, she can't really deny it. ]

I could repeat everything you just said. [ She rests her cheek in her palm. ] Add rainbow animals and tattoos, and it really seems like some wild hallucination you'd have after taking too many drugs.

[ But they're all sober. Probably. ]

[daggering]

[ maybe they're just on one of scanlan's wild suud trips. bad. ]

Man. Drank liquor once that made me feel like I could taste colors, made half my face numb, but I snapped out of it with a hell of hangover a few hours later. Been to the Feywild and it wasn't even this weird.

[ mostly. the feywild did kind of suck, actually. ] Think it'd be even more fucked up if I woke up and it was just a dream, though. You know?

[disingenuous]

I'd like to hear more about that someday.

[ When things are slightly less depressing. ]

But you're right. I don't want to think my mind was capable of thinking up what we're experiencing.

[ Even if she's sure that outside of the technicolor everything, it wouldn't be that far out of a dream she could have. ]

It'd be too ridiculous.

[daggering]

Way too ridiculous, and I have seen some weird shit.

[ another huff of a laugh. maybe they are all just tripping.

he's quiet for a minute, glancing out at the stars for a little longer, and then turns to actually look at roxana. ]

Might be a better story, after such a shit night. [ because what else can they do right now, but pick up the pieces and wait until ryza destroys us all sunday ] I can make a fool of myself well enough for a distraction.

[disingenuous]

[ It takes a moment, but she smiles at him when he turns to look at her. It's small but it's more genuine than any other smile she's given tonight. ]

Thank you for being so willing to be a distraction. [ ... ] I think it's much needed for me tonight.
