[BOTH OF THEM JUST RUNNING TO THE ROOFTOP FOR FRESH AIR please not the nine hours of being cooped up. They need sunlight... They must touch grass but there is no grass to touch...
Roxana is so valid, though. At least she's good at keeping her fury from being obvious, unlike Scaramouche, who has not succeeded a day in his life at keeping how annoyed he is hidden.]
About the same level of idiocy, at least. Same progression from fooling around to increasingly frenetic desperation, too. Same self-sacrificial nonsense from people, same last-minute emotional outbursts. [A little, sloping shrug.]
Didn't expect him to be looking at you like he was expecting answers, though.
[He thinks it has but all he has is abandonment issues and the neat ability of shoving every other emotion he ever feels under a blanket of rage and irritation... It really would have kicked his ass.]
And yet, there he was, yelling about it like a desperate fool. Did what he say make any sense to you?
I can't say with certainty yet, not until I see how he is tonight and tomorrow.It could be words to remind more than anything else....
[ but anyone can see if boothill becomes too emotional (even if boothill is usually emotional) or if he turns into a lisa frank monstrosity tomorrow. ]
If it ends up being true, everyone will have to keep an eye out in the way they know best.
No. The only "incentive" to kill, really, was an invitation to a party. [It is just as stupid as it sounds.] Only one person took it; the rest were largely accidental deaths, or deaths for other reasons that weren't coercion, possession, or accident.
[ANNOYED. He was already annoyed from the start of this conversation but HE'S EVEN MORE ANNOYED NOW. HE HATES ACCIDENTAL KILLS. JUST KILL PEOPLE ON YOUR OWN, DAMN.]
But yes, that's what happened. Initially the invite list was supposed to be exclusive, but the idiots on the once-dead side managed to haggle a way for everyone to get in.
[IT DOES. SHE GETS IT. HE WAS SO IRRITATED ALL THE TIME well he's always irritated all the time but damn.
There's like a bare fraction of a beat at the question, though, but fortunately, even though he is terrible at not showing his irritation and anger, he is good at showing only irritation and anger.]
The circumstances that led to my death were seemingly finite, so I wasn't about to go through the circus of a trial and execution for little more than a chance to drink with Satan.
[Don't waste her time!! Or his time!! No time wasting!!!! Even when you have all the theoretical time in the world, wasting time is obnoxious, especially for a utilitarian and generally short-tempered existence like him.
The way he is so mad at those idiots for doing the work because he would frankly have been happier in Hell but instead had to confront the fact that he made FRIENDS and BONDS AGAIN and realizing that he WOULD have been happier there, which is why he doubled down on his godkilling plan about it. Fourth betrayal shit.]
Their bullheadedness may have gotten us through the door, but only because Satan set it up with loopholes to be exploited. We all had to take part in the drinking games, anyway.
[ that is such childish and circular logic to self-destruction. this is why he deletes himself. she can't read his meta, so she can only guess at his crisis (that he wanted to stay dead or in Hell and nothing about friendship and bonds). ]
Not your cup of tea, I imagine, but you still took that second chance, didn't you?

she lifts a hand in acknowledgment. it was more or less what she was thinking and expecting, too. ]
It was a twist I didn't expect either, for the culprit to be affected that way. He shouldn't have known anything about the Prism.

Scaramouche does not know what to expect so he's just making a bit of a face.]
For those who had incentives or possession or other strange mechanics, at least. The rest of us will have to learn from those willing to share.

If it's an invitation to outdrink with Satan, didn't you all end up drinking with her? Or enough of you?

It didn't seem worth it? Everyone has their own circumstances, but that means those idiots did the work so you didn't have to worry about any of it.

I don't experience passion for life in the way humans do, given your fleeting lifespans. For it to seem "lackluster" is an expression of the finite.
