[Not the jiving leggy, put that away. Viktor runs a hand back through his hair, sighing.]

There must be a way to return our consciousnesses to our bodies in the pods... But I'm not sure if it's something we could do on this side.

[THE JIVING LEGGY HELPS HIM THINK. He reaches over to pet Viktor's hair back down.]

If we're really data being stored somewhere on the ship, there definitely should be! But I agree; I don't think we can do it ourselves... We'd have to restore our bodies to actual livable states first, too.

[Their fucking MURDER AND EXECUTION INJURIES. HE'S IN FIVE PIECES AND HIS HEART'S STILL TUCKED INTO HIS BLANKET LIKE A LITTLE TEDDY BEAR.]

—Setting aside our wild theorizing for a moment, how are you holding up? I know these adventures can be a lot...

[satisficing]

[Thanks. Even if this does absolutely nothing because it's way too fluffy, especially now that it is even longer than it had been. It is just a bird's nest.]

Ah... I'm... alright. Trying to stay busy helps. It's hard to... just... put it out of your mind, everything. But it'll be okay after a while.

[NOT THE WILD AND FREE FLUFF. (mdzs voice) the untamed]

...Yeah, it's pretty hard. I don't think that dwelling on it for a little bit of time is a bad thing, really, but I understand wanting to tuck it away as soon as you can. Let me know if I can do anything to help, okay?

[satisficing]

[NOT THE UNTAMED]

Thank you... It was... the oddest test of mettle I think I could have never imagined.

[artificialsweetener]

[YEAH YEAH. He's also giving Viktor a sympathetic look. WHY ARE YOU STILL AWAKE.]

It sounds like you guys had a way more involved adventure than we did...

[satisficing]

[hehe

He smiles wryly.]

I'm not sure... about yours, but... yes, I guess so. It was a different life, and then... a forest making you think the worst of yourself, of others. A monster taking the shape of others...

[ur taggin ur vikdon threads...]

Mine was more straightforward, mm. But I think Monsieur Gregor and Monsieur Arthur were living other lives, too... [A little more somberly:] Eunhyuk told me that he killed Monsieur Shu thinking that he was becoming a monster, too.

[satisficing]

[STOP THIS

What is it with living other fucking lives. Get outta here. He can barely live his own life as it is. His expression softens.]

Yes... Lucien and I... fought a monster that took the shape of someone I knew. And then we attacked each other, too.

[HELP when you can't even look after yourself and then you get assigned all these water bottle AUs that you're now responsible for. So sad.

This is so sad though why did yall get the friendly fire mission HE'S JUST SITTING HERE LIKE THIS IS NOTHING LIKE OURS WHERE WE HELPED EACH OTHER.]

I see... Did you each think the other person was someone different? Or did you attack for a different reason...?

[satisficing]

[YEAH, WHY?? STOP, DON'T ASK FOR THE FRIENDLY FIRE MISSION.]

The forest... There was... a voice? A voice only I could hear maybe, I don't know. It kept telling me Lucien was going to kill me, get rid of me. So... I... attacked him.

[artificialsweetener]

[AAAA THE FRIENDLY FIRE MISSION.]

Mm... So it was another form of "you lose yourself to an unknown force that provokes a violence in you", then?

[satisficing]

[WHY DOES HE SAY THIS SO PLAINLY LIKE HE KNOWS HATE IT HERE]

It was something like that, yes. He broke my arm, and I electrocuted him because I was... a mage of some kind?

But then there was a torch, and we were transported somewhere else.

[artificialsweetener]

[HE KNOWS!! HE DOES KNOW. LISTEN.]

Oh... That sounds horrible! [NOT THE FRIENDLY FIRE. STOP BREAKING EACH OTHER'S ARMS AND DOIN THE ZAPPY.] What happened after you were transported? Did it end...?
