Hah, true, true.

[A little quirk of a smile. Though he arches a brow after that, head canting curiously to the side.]

Just being there is enough company for him. It's not like you need to entertain him, you know? He's not fussy. He just doesn't like being alone.

[recrypt]

It's quite the unpleasant disease. Why do you think Dolls like me were made? We're immune.

[ ... ]

That said, I do believe we've digressed some. How was your excursion, Prinzesschen?

[givethemhell]

Ah - for that? [IT MAKES SENSE but also wow. The more he learns about 45's world, the less he knows... The future is weird and technology is wild.

But he blinks at that. DID THEY-- Ah, right.]

Terrible, honestly. We were possessed by our costumes, Ookurikara kidnapped a flock of sheep and ran away, and Lili and I had to fight an-- a troll, I believe?

[recrypt]

If humans can't venture into the contaminated area, but there's things they want there... [ you send in the tools.

but anyway. ]

Ah, the dragon stealing sheep. A classic.

Though usually I believe it's the knight slaying the dragon guarding the princess...

[recrypt]

But there's little point in doing something without doing it right, hm?

[ what the hell is she going to do, just wander over to wn's cabin and make camp? exist in each other's presence? ]

[givethemhell]

[He just makes a face at that... DO YOUR OWN WORK HUMANS.

That sure has him huffing in amusement, though. He doesn't know shit about Western fairytales but he does know that their break-in did not go as it should have gone.]

Mm... I think we went quite off from the intended script. The music stopped playing after a while, actually?

[The break-in itself gave up on them.]

[recrypt]

I'm surprised he didn't manage to curb your habit of storing things in your sleeves.

[ the man runs his kitchen like it's his ship, probably. ]

[recrypt]

... You had background music.

[ yes, that would be the general level of nonsense expected from all involved. ]

[givethemhell]

I think you're putting too much stock into this.

[45 PLEASE!!!! But if she's looking for something to do:] You could help me sew our dead back together, if you want? I like to chat with him while I work. He'd appreciate another person, I think.

[givethemhell]

Background music and a terrible audience.

[Their audience also abandoned them...]

[recrypt]

My, you all really must have been terrible at this ...

[ show her on the doll where the audience hurt you, wwx. ]

Were they throwing rotten food at you? I hear that's something they used to do at performances like these.

[recrypt]

[ listen how and why would she interact with anyone and anything outside of business. ]

Don't they have to stay in the pool? And I was under the impression from your previous incursion into that building that they had to remain as they were.

[ but she shrugs, and: ]

I have steady fingers, and repetitive motion is easy enough. Point me in the right direction and I could help, sure.

[givethemhell]

We were. We were absolutely the worst.

[THEY WERE TRULY THE WORST... He shakes his head at that, though.]

No, I think they just - left? They probably just left. Can't say I blame them!

[givethemhell]

Turns out patching them up is just fine! Though they do have to stay at least partially submerged. Wen Ning can help with that, too.

[They have a whole morbid system, it's fine.]

[recrypt]

Ah, then you wouldn't have gotten any appreciative post-show gifts from them. What a pity...

[recrypt]

Do we even have enough parts of them, in some cases?

[ yu.

also, she's a Doll. she honestly does not see anything morbid about this at all. like, she can understand why regular humans would be, but personally she and probably any other Doll are pretty much inured to would-be maiming and patching parts back together for. obvious reasons. ]

[givethemhell]

Hah - not from the audience, no. I did find something nice, though. [WHICH HE WILL TELL 45 ABOUT IN DETAIL since he trusts her to... hold their collective braincell.]

A book with a blank line at the back. Whatever idea is written there will become real, but not necessarily as planned. Could be useful! Could also go terribly wrong.

[givethemhell]

[The fact that Wei Wuxian is just out here shaking Dolls that lose and replace body parts... Good work, team.

He also laughs at that.]

Nope! Shinobu and Yu in particular are a bit... [He makes. A waffly hand motion.] I've already handled Yin Yu and Minako since that's about all I've had time for, but there are a few others with wounds that should be relatively manageable.

[recrypt]

[ there are many of them, they are going to need more help than the single braincell 45 is holding for them. ]

... Hmmm.

And I suppose that blank line is fairly short, to prevent us to adding in clause after clause to try to curtail some of the possible "could go terribly wrong" scenarios we might think of?

[givethemhell]

[HOLD THE BRAINCELL UP REAL HIGH SO IT GETS GOOD RECEPTION, IT'LL BE FINE.]

It should fit anything that's just "one idea", I think... But I'll be asking Wen Ning for clarification, if it's something he can provide.

[recrypt]

[ pretty sure braincells don't act like wifi hotspots ]

Haha. Well, it's certainly nothing that needs to be mentioned for now, hm?

[givethemhell]

Not right now, nope - but soon.

[HE CAN'T ANYWAY IT'S ALMOST CURFEW.]

[recrypt]

If it's close enough to suturing wounds, I'll figure it out. [ matter of factly. ] And please, there's nothing for any of us to do in this place to occupy our time.

Nothing so pressing that we can't make the time, anyway.

[recrypt]

... Well. We'll regroup later, I suppose.

[givethemhell]

Mm, it's essentially exactly like that! You don't even have to be quite as precise, but no one likes a messy stitch.

[Says king breadsleeves with his sleeves full of trash...]

True enough, though! I'll see about setting something up so we can get to work, then.

[WHICH WE CAN HANDWAVE OR NYOOM FOR, WHICHEVER UR PREF]
