[YOU WOULD DO THIS TO ME. He's just looking at the knife, which is at least not monkey ashes or clown shoes. A relatively normal weapon.]

Nothing so far. [because i do not want to confer with anyone.] But that makes sense, considering the "murder weapons" in ours were things like lava and octopi.

[disingenuous]

[ i can't remember if it was his lisa frank knife or if yams got a separate actual knife handwaves details

she raises her eyebrows ever so slightly. ]

You did say they were accidental, but lava seems a bit more purposeful.

[ she doesn't know how to categorize octopi. ]

[nascens]

[I ALSO CAN'T REMEMBER HELP. yells at pixi]

It was. [IT WAS.] But it would make for a normal display compared to monkey dust and clown shoes.

[disingenuous]

It is more straightforward than whatever these shoes were used for. I would have trapped an animal instead of wasting the time of turning it into dust.

[nascens]

I don't even know how they turned a monkey into dust.

[Also lava.]

[disingenuous]

[ also lava. ]

It might be better not to know. It was likely something foolish.

[nascens]

Ignorance is bliss, is it?

[In this case it is. Just leave the monkey dust... He'll move over to the tablet with the blood writing and sigh.]

Really, every bit of this is ridiculous.

[disingenuous]

... If they wanted to cause a distraction and waste time, they could have picked anything else.

[ other words. there is a whole dictionary out there. a whole encyclopedia. ]

[nascens]

The people here are daft, and yet I'm beginning to see that we could have ended up with something much worse, somehow.

[Between the murder museum and stories from other people and seeing Scawwy in the flesh.]

[disingenuous]

Does it make you tremble? Could you bear to be in the proximity of such stupidity?

[ it's not a serious question at all. ]

[nascens]

The mere thought of it is enough to have me shaking to my core.

[This is also not a serious answer.]

I'd ask for mercy, but that's the same as asking for trouble in places like this.

[disingenuous]

[ she walks to look at more ridiculous evidence. ]

You'd only to approached with more foolishness, like a moth to flame.

[nascens]

That happens regardless.

[Peering at the toblerone.]

I heard someone was turned into cheese.

[disingenuous]

Cheese? That's how they were murdered? Can you even be alive as food?

[ she is looking at the chocolate, like if only a part of you is eaten.... that wouldn't kill you. ]

[nascens]

[He's not thinking something similar but i aki am.]

The cheese was sliced, so maybe that's how they were murdered. It'd be cruel and unusual to still be alive after being turned into food, which makes me lean toward believing that they still would be.

[disingenuous]

[ well, she supposed if cut in the right places, that could kill, but. ]

Is that where the line is drawn for you? If you feel your dignity is impugned?

[nascens]

[WHERE DO YOU FIND THE FATAL POINT ON A WHEEL OF CHEESE.]

Cruel and unusual in the overarching definition of it.

[Not necessarily personal; he might still find it funny, depending.]

[disingenuous]

[ if you cut it all into pieces you don't have to find it ]

So you have some sense of morality.

[nascens]

[That is true. Perhaps that is why the cheese was sliced...]

I've lived among humans long enough to understand their definitions, at least.

[disingenuous]

But you don't agree with them or operate by them.

[ she assumes. ]

[nascens]

[tucks you back into bed]

I don't operate by them. They apply within the confines of humanity, so it isn't a matter of agreeing or disagreeing.

[disingenuous]

You don't mingle with us humans from time to time? Do you live apart?

[ is he a hermit ]

[nascens]

You all ask a lot of questions.

[IT KILLS ME AKI BECAUSE HE HARDLY EVER ASKS ANY IN RETURN but it's fine because he also just refuses to indulge after a first few.

Maybe he is a hermit. Maybe he is.]

[disingenuous]

I think you still try to blend in from time to time.

[ it's fine. she prefers if he doesn't ask anything in return. that's why she asks her questions half the time.... to keep others from asking any in return. ]

[nascens]

Do you?

[She is so funny and so right. i think about how many of my characters would never get to know her by virtue of being too polite and then this fuck who is the exact opposite but still terrible at getting to know people.]
