[survivaltricks]

[oh shit]

[fucking coffee]

[as soon as the smell hits Akira's nose he fucking like. beelines over, immediately interested]

Hey.

Share the goods.

doxx your comment count only i can judge you here

[voidbreaker]

[ wow ]

I've got one mug, go get your own.

[ excuse me ]

at least 1k u_u

[survivaltricks]

Rude, aren't you?

[but he sounds amused and he is meandering over to the cabinets to fetch a mug]

u_u i'm proud of you and also concerned. below or above 1.5

[voidbreaker]

Would you be handing over your coffee if this was the other way around?

LFMASPODJF WELL BELOW THANK GOD like barely at 1k. IT'S FINE

[survivaltricks]

Depends on what would be in it for me.

Buuuuut probably not.

[amused, he pours himself a mug of coffee and then comes take a seat near Ash]

Hey, is there anyone else here?

...... now i'm concerned i'm at nearly 900.

[voidbreaker]

See, exactly what I'm talkin' about.

[ hm. ]

I haven't seen anyone pass by for a bit. Something up?

CLASPS HANDS. MY COMRADE

[survivaltricks]

. . . mmm.

[hm. that is not a yes or no. his expression hardens, a shadow crossing same as he sips at his coffee]

Something has been bothering me all day today. I just. . . have a bad feeling about it. I'm trying to ignore it, but I can't, no matter how hard I try.

[. . .]

Are you close to 45?

STOP I'M SCARED. IT'S BEEN SIX DAYS.

[voidbreaker]

No, not really.

[ siiiiiip. ]

Why? She say something weird, and cryptic?

WE ARE MONSTERS

[survivaltricks]

No. It's-- no. Nothing happened.

[. . .]

But I feel like. . . I know we all feel like something is going to happen tomorrow, but I'm worried she'll be involved somehow.

CRIES. WE WERE THE TRUE DEMONS ALL ALONG.

[voidbreaker]

...

Why'd you think she's going to be involved with it ?

[survivaltricks]

. . . [a helpless shrug]

Call it instinct. I can't-- I can't really explain it.

[another pause. . . his brows furrow, nose wrinkling]

Do you trust her, Ash?

[voidbreaker]

I don't know her well enough. [ simple, really. ]

She did us all pretty solid back in the mansion and knows whats she's talking about. But she'd be ruthless enough to do something other people might not want to.

[survivaltricks]

[another hesitation]

Mm.

If-- [a pause] If anything happens to me. . .

[and here he trails off]

[voidbreaker]

[ al i s2g. ]





[ ash just stares at him. ]

[survivaltricks]

[:)]

[there's a pause, before he shakes his head quickly and takes a sip of his coffee]

No, nevermind. Forget I said anything.

[voidbreaker]

[ reaches through the screen and shakes u ]

No, finish what you were gonna say.

[survivaltricks]

[HEHEHEHEHE]

[swallows thickly, hunching his shoulders as he stares at the murky brown liquid in his coffee]

[and then, quietly, his words tense]

. . . if anything happens to me tomorrow, she might be the one responsible.

al i'm too sneepy for all this fear

[voidbreaker]

[ ... ]

What happened to make you so convinced she's going to kill you?

hahaha

[survivaltricks]

I don't know.

[slightly frustrated, hackles raising]

Nothing. I can't pinpoint any one thing she did to make me feel this way. But I do.

It's just-- it's instinct, okay? A feeling.

[hm]

:gooseknife:

[voidbreaker]

[ he takes a sip of his coffee, almost thoughtfully. ]

... [ instinct, huh? ]

You mentioned about people maybe having special duties or some shit, like back at the mansion. You just speculating that, or has someone told you that they're doing more tasks than just cleaning the kitchen and dancing with strangers?

tee hee

[survivaltricks]

[lifts a hand and presses it against his face, rubbing at his eyes as he does so. his entire posture is stiff and nervous, a far cry from the way Akira normally is]

No, it's nothing like that. I haven't heard anything about "special privileges" here; I was just speculating.

It's just-- [ugh] I know this sounds crazy, and I wish I had some logic to back it up.

But I don't.

[he presses a hand against his heart]

It's all right here.

[voidbreaker]

[ ash: icly, trusting akira. me: oocly, not trusting al. ]

Crazier than getting kidnapped twice and maybe ending up in a messed up death game more than once?

[ ... ]

Maybe you need to start thinking of ways to counter her, just in case she does try something.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . he looks up at Ash, expression softening a bit]

You think so?

[voidbreaker]

It's not gonna do you any harm if you don't have to resort to using it. But it will do if you're right and you've got nothing to counter a literal robot after your ass.

[ he'd rather none of them did anything stupid that involved murder? but. you roll with the punches. ]
