[TAKE ME BACK! TO THE GOOD OL DAYS! OF OOONE BODY!
There's a quiet look at that, though. He still remembers how terrible it had been to wake up to an empty room on the ship, back when he'd shared it with Beck.]
It does mean that they likely didn't attack right in your presence, at least.
[If he were in 45's shoes, that'd be what he was most thankful for. He'd feel TEN TIMES AS USELESS if he was just an unconscious heap while someone was getting murdered.]
[He watches her fingers for a second, but his gaze rises back to her face soon enough. BLOODY FLOWERS...]
--Mm. There was a footprint by the petting zoo, too. Near the fence, pointing away from the animals - but it was only a partial print. We couldn't tell the size from what was there.
[Every week he feels less and less like pink is a blob of remnants and more like it's just one singular asshole, somewhere, watching.]
Hah... It'd be too much to ask for something simple to piece together at this point, I'm sure. With every trial we struggle through, I feel like it's providing more entertainment for some invisible audience.
[WHICH HE HATES. And then:] Is there anything that I can do to help? Do you drink? I have alcohol - or just water, I can get water, too.
[ maybe it's both. maybe pink is a blob of remnants that grows stronger and more realized the longer they all stay stuck here, slowly gaining cognizance and ascending to become the one singular asshole to rule them all. ]
You'd think we'd all be used to this by now.
[ ha fucking ha, though. her hands seem to stay twitchy, though, and she runs them idly across the keys. ]
I can drink, but alcohol won't get me drunk. I process it differently.
[ she is cursed to remain terribly, entirely lucid, unfortunately, save for in situations where she's under heavy processing load. even then, dolls generally handle that by cutting off superfluous and unnecessary programmes and systems; things like pain responses, the simulation of breathing, emotional modules. ]
[wouldn't that be funny if the remnants just became their own npc and it's like, shaped like pikachu or something.
Anyway he sure does just sigh at that. Just a longass, tiredass sigh. YOU'D THINK!!]
--Your effect? [He will eventually just point out her twitchyass hands. Then:] I do know the pains of not being able to get drunk, though. [He's not even non-human, he just has an inhuman stomach and also apparently liver.] Sometimes it helps just to have something sharp to taste, anyway - but if not, snacks and water are a good alternative. I can get either, if you'd like - or both. All three, even.
[ clearly it's that eevee from the pokemon adventures manga that can formshift at will. it's just got an eeveelution form for each murdergame, it's fine. ]
My effect. I'd suggest you don't come too close unless you want to deal with physical contact, because I can't really control the fact that I have to feel up everything around me.
[ or do come closer, and get a nice blast of roomba emotions. ]
Sure, though. I wouldn't mind, and it might be something to keep my hands busy.
Ah - hah, what an effect... What does that even have to do with arts and crafts?
[SOMETIMES HE DOES NOT GET THE EFFECTS HERE. His brow furrows a little but he'll respectfully maintain a distance. As much as he should suffer from roomba emotions, he's unfortunately acutely aware of how much feelings cooties sucks and is keeping a wary distance from most.]
But alright, mm. Give me a second and I'll be back! [TO GET WATER and snacks that aren't. From his robe. They're probably like, pudding cups or something. Also he's got some dirt mead!! YEEHAW it's a party now.]

Which one were you staying with...?

I don't know if I should be glad or not that I didn't wake up to anything out of place there.

[ But, well, with that said. ]
There was blood in the garden, on the flowers.

also dirt mead? dirt flavored mead? aki??? anyway she takes it and like
did he get cups or are they swigging from the bottle. ]
