[a non-committal hum since he doesn't necessarily disagree]

What's yours, then?

[chiseler]

You've really put some thought into this haven't you? Don't you think we'd know if this place was haunted by now? Ghosts are pretty low on the ladder of scary things.

[...though stasis doesn't sound all too appealing either.] It's a vent system. I think they echo.

[todorable]

Well, okay. Just seems like you'd wanna go after something else if this one was giving you so much trouble. There's something to be said for an easy win.

[honey nut cheerios, the guy's just giving it away]

Wait, what? [he frowns, why does he have to pay for something he volunteered to do in the first place.] What do you even need? For as much as this is a prison, they take care of our needs fairly well.

1/2

[toprotecttheworld]

Don't roll your eyes at me, you delinquent runt, I'm being serious!

[when Jessie dies she's leaving behind an episode summary of every ridiculous job she's pretended to have, okay?!]

[todorable]

Of course I've taken stock of terrible things that can happen. What else are nights for?

If you think an echo's enough, okay... BTW, Fumi wants your body if you get stasised, preferably intact. So as long as we can make that happen, we're good.

2/2 GO TO BED ;A;

[toprotecttheworld]

She didn't decide to "go soft" on you, either! She obviously made a decision that conflicted with her morals. Don't make it all out to be her fault! You're even more awful than I thought you were.

[toprotecttheworld]

It's...it's not giving us any trouble! It was practically in my hands before I arrived here!

[tumbleweed

and it's just how she roles. Clearly, Totty isn't ready for Team Rocket yet.]

I'm sure I'll think of something. It's pretty boring here after a while. Think it's too much to ask her to return us and then bring us back if she's going to keep us this long?

[todorable]

Huh, that sucks. Once you get back you'll have to start over. Unless that's what's in your bribe cabinet?

[alas, totty is too lazy to be a very good rocket grunt]

Joint custody? Ooh, maybe we could telecommute, just do the trials by phone, or better yet, by mail.

[toprotecttheworld]

Actually, my bribe cabinet seems to be filled with information on my mother. I haven't seen her since I was a child. She left one day with only her earrings and a picture of me and not a single penny.

[She seems both annoyed and upset about it, just like the tsundere she secretly is.]

But I think we should run the mailing idea past her. It sounds like the perfect solution to not being here.

[laptopper]

In what way?

[ Minako, you have to tell her why she'd care. ]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Won't it be a lot of work to rule over the organization despite all the luxuries? You sure you can deal with that pressure?

[Not to doubt your capabilities, Jessie, but it'd be good to not to forget that]

[thanatosincarnate]

...Yes. I was along side Elizabeth when they were discovered.

{ He sighs, more visibly irritated now. }

[brooches]

A new change of scenery. It's more interesting than drawing bottles in the parlor. [ She totally returned those :( and they were restocked :( ] The garden would have been nice, but after our last discovery there, I chose the pool. Also, I wanted to dip my feet in...

[ She lifts the drawing pad up, the crude sketching of the pool visible in proper proportions but far from realistic. She was working on the ripples when Jason rolls in. ]

Hmmm... [ She hums, looking at him a little credibly. She leans a little closer, examining him and holding the pencil to her paper again. ] You could volunteer to be my model and we forgo the entire thing.

[brooches]

If we can, I can help you move yours. Mine is far less important than some of these.

[ If she's going to be truthful, she'll be blunt. It means a lot to her - the idea of freedom, but seeing these items completely imprisoned was a scene she can't deal with on a constant level. ]

Having someone like your daughter - ... it has to be put in a secure place. It's just not right to leave it out here where things could happen.

[ RIP this CR. ]

[brooches]

[ Oh, she definitely eyes the case he indicates. ]

You have a thing for blades.

[ Light-hearted, Elizabeth doesn't mean to strike any cords but it was a funny connection. She can't judge - maybe it was his Fathers? It saved his life? It's part of a valiant mission to obtain it and defeat a tyrant overlord? She fantasizes it, but it's a blade. She knows nothing else. ]

Maybe your item is precious to you, while others like myself don't hold anything in such a high value. It's circumstantial.

[ She gives a light shrug. ]

[brooches]

Oh... oh my.

[ She clutches her fingers tightly into a fist. She's seen how the world can unfold to save one person - to see the timelines change massively. ]

That kind of path must be treated with care. There are repercussions for everything, other worlds are no exception.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

My world was kind of changed when she fell into Hell. I'm aware there may be repercussions...

[In a way it's possible that having been brought into another world is what allowed Shelley be aware there was something wrong back at home]

Is there something else I should be aware of while doing this, by the way?

[mnasthai]

Oh. [ He looks a little disappointed.]

I guess I should be reading something else then.

[mnasthai]

[He nods.] I wonder what happened to them then...

[mnasthai]

It's not a problem. [ But he's going to sit down all the same because that sure was some effort he wasn't planning on exerting and he is a bit tired now.]

I think we should just get the garbage can instead... [ And now there's even more to sweep into it.]

[chiseler]

I think that'll--wait did she tell you that? [WHY IS FUMI ALSO SCARY?]

[chiseler]

[A small smirk.] Where I'm from, if you don't have some kind of weapon you're not gonna last long. Just proves that the AI still doesn't understand how people work if you ask me. If you have a motive, you need to go through with it and make sure you're applying it to everyone, not just half-assing it.

[Like pulling items that are all precious, or all just factual. There shouldn't be an in-between in his opinion.] …I don't know if I'd call mine precious, but I'm not sure what'll happen if it gets destroyed since it's not actually mine anymore.

[todorable]

Pfff hahahaha!

[okay he wasn't planning to laugh--okay that's a lie, but it's the utter irritation and disgust in arumat's tone that makes totty break down into uncontrollable giggles, maybe it's just cabin fever, but the absolute dumbest thing happening to someone with the least patience for it is the best prank he's heard in a long time]

Where--who... Pffft! Why?

[refactor]

If? Oh, nonono, I am definitely moving it.

[ There' something slightly more adamant in his tone here, and on the surface, that's no surprise, but a bit deeper, Elizabeth's words have more of an effect than she intends. It's true, after all, and even if it's just a photograph, he still lifts up the glass case around it with the utmost care. For Jack, that seems almost strange, since there's so little that he does with care. ]

I'll just feel better having it in my room. I-- Y'see, you're not wrong here.

[ He waves a hand idly ]

Greed is one thing, but using my Angel against me? That's a problem. I don't like that they know about her, kiddo.

[todorable]

Wow... What happened?

Couldn't hurt! ...Probably.
