[SHAAAAAKES HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM]

--somehow the least surprisin' thing is you fallin' for the oldest trick in the book! IDIOT!

[featherduster]

[ He should probably be a little more sympathetic to Big Feelings happening here, but. He's quickly putting two and two together, and . . . ]



AND WHY ARE YOU HERE EXACTLY?!?

[ohlord]

MAYBE YA DIED BEFORE YA GOT MY MESSAGE BUT I SAID I'D DRAG YER SORRY ASS OUTTA HERE EVEN IF THE DEATH GOD HATED ME FOR IT. MAYBE STICK AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO GET THAT MEMO BEFORE EATING POISONED FRUIT FROM A SNAKE!

[featherduster]

I HAD A PLAN!!!!

[ Attempting to shove Wolfwood's hands away ]

And it did not include you killing yourself!

[ohlord]

[shoved hands just means he can GESTURE IN STRANGLE MOTIONS]

Maybe if you'd've told me whatever the goddamn plan was, I wouldn't haveta think whatever plan ya had backfired the moment ya trusted a snake! That said "dyin' will be fine"!

[featherduster]

[ Opens his mouth--



Very wisely bites back what he was going to say about that.

Instead: ]

Do you really think I wasn't well aware of the risks?

[ohlord]

[... hands drop to his sides.]

Not a risk if it's a known outcome. And ya wouldn't've messaged me if ya thought otherwise.

[featherduster]

We weren't going to be stuck here.

And the point was that no one else will, either.

[ohlord]

If the snake weren't a fuckin' liar, sure. Maybe you stood a shot of cuttin' a deal with Death.

[honestly, if there's anyone who stood a chance of that, it was probably Vash, but honestly, Death is Death, so... unlikely.]

[featherduster]

That's exactly what I intended to do.

[ He kissed Death and everything ]

[ohlord]

Yeah, well. From the other side, it looked like ya got fucked and was ditched with no way back. 'Specially when Vivace came back and then died again.

[featherduster]

I knew what it would look like.

That's why I told you not to do anything stupid. Like, say, killing yourself.

[ohlord]

[the bitchy "I've had worse" response ALMOST slips out but]

Yeah, and I wasn't 'til a snake possessin' Death's Eye decided to throw a shindig of a ritual and Pinky screamed and died. Again.

[featherduster]

Is that what he's doing . . .

[ohlord]

Y'think I'd be here draggin' ya back if shit weren't hittin' the fan especially hard?

[I mean, probably but also--]

We all got asked some questions about death and killin' and we're supposed to give our answers. No idea how that'll go for us, probably badly.

In which case, if anyone does die, they're even fucked 'cause there's every chance even Lily's gonna get fucked up.

Meanwhile, what's Blue doin'? Loiterin'?

No, we're takin' ya back and hopefully there's one functional group left standin' to help ya out.

[featherduster]

Bluebell's finished what we can here.

[ WHATEVER THAT WAS?????? He's as clear and forthcoming as ever ]

We needed to head back up anyway -- we need to retrieve Death's final piece. If our efforts were worth anything, she won't insist on holding onto anyone who dies.

[ohlord]

[paranoia says that whatever Not Perma Dead option's gonna be terrible, but y'know. it's fine. no need to bring that up.]

So stop bitchin' about me bein' here. We got good timin'

Say bye to the nice Death god and Aides should have somethin' ready by then.

[featherduster]

I can and will stay mad about that.

[ HE BURIED YOU, YOU KNOW!!!! ]

[ohlord]

[GONNA HAVE IT REAL ROUGH IF THESE SACRIFICIAL RITUALS KEEP UP, BUD.]

Be more mad about some shitty ghost thing on Purple possessin' yer body for five seconds 'cause the black fluffball let everyone into yer barn. YOUR WELCOME for exorcising him, by the way.

[featherduster]

Hhheeee did what now.

[ohlord]

Stormy let everyone in your barn.

Ghost thing possessed ya for five seconds.

Pissed me off enough that I had a sheep ghost chew on him a bit.

[YOU MIGHT HAVE BURIED HIM, BUT HE HAD TO GUARD YOUR WMD BODY]

Got your stick, by the way.

Pretty sure it'll fly back once ya get back up again.

[featherduster]

[ IMAGINING ALL THE THINGS THAT COULD HAVE GONE WRONG IN THOSE FIVE SECONDS ]


Oh, that's very bad. I don't like that at all.

[ u a real one, Wolfwood ]

[ohlord]

Maybe don't die and leave it layin' around.

[featherduster]

I left it in my own house! Where else am I supposed to put it?!

Maybe people shouldn't be breaking and entering!

[ohlord]

Well, it's in the fountain now. Cold keeps ya preserved, at least. Stormy also said something like there was a possibility puttin' ya there would draw the soul back to home and you'd wake up alive there again or something, if all else failed.
