[ sometimes you just want to explore? thanks for interrupting that with your rudeass memory, ash. kara is quiet for a moment as they come out of it, but then: ]
Yeah. When that happened. Wouldn’t surprise me if I hit something then.
[ there is none explanation. but he does look thoughtful. ]
...
I wanted the truth, but... [ ... ] I don’t really know why. [ ... well. wanting the truth is one thing, and understandable? but he... wouldn’t just go and shoot someone for it. knowing’s one thing, but hamel was so long ago it’s like it happened to someone else. he wasn’t an older kid, like Astray, or a teenager like Loewe had been. he’d been three — he remembers Raquel more than he remembers Hamel and what it was like to live there and who he grew up with. ]
Killing someone isn't usually how you get information like that. [ but he's pretty sure that ash knows that. ] But obviously you got out alive, so maybe it was worth it.
...You never struck me as the type to get killed easily, either.
[ there's something else he's going to say, but kara doesn't quite make it before, haha, another memory is shared between them. he, uh. doesn't much care for reliving that one, either. ]
As long as we get out of this, sure. [ not to bring the mood down. ]
...
Super strength, by the way. That's my power. For one hour, plus increased resilience to do things my body couldn't normally. I can tell you my team and title too, if you want that.

he's about to start talking when, whoops (5:02 - 7:58). this place is still terrible, and this memory is not new to ray but here it is. ]
no subject
That wasn't your axe.
no subject
Brilliant deduction, do they hire you for investigation work or is this just a side hobby of yours?
no subject
...What's wrong with it, anyway?
no subject
It aches sometimes. Has done since I was a kid.
[ guess who doesn't know he's cursed and never really realises it until he's literally told in cs4; this guy. ]
no subject
[ kara comes a little closer, squinting at him. ]
...But you don't have a scar, or anything.
no subject
Personal bubble, Chatterbox. And aches don't leave scars.
no subject
And aches don't just happen for no reason.
no subject
I pretty much already told you I don’t know. Started when I was a kid, probably something that happened around then.
no subject
When... [ what was it? ] Hamel happened.
You never struck me as the vengeful sort.

[ he shrugs! he wouldn't know! ]
no subject
...
Eh. Maybe. Pretty sure I blacked out and the next thing I remember is the mansion. Who knows what's waiting for me when I get back.

[ hm
oh.
well. ]
... Lili wasn't kidding when she said you guys had to be down to the last man standing by the end, huh? Even the hosts...?
no subject
Why would she joke about something like that? Mikazuki and Roxas were corrupted, anyway; we couldn't risk them screwing things up.

If there was a way around it, we'd have found it. Either way, we still won, so it doesn't matter that much anymore.

[ he's
not expecting ash to just out himself like that, though? kara just stares in surprise for a moment, but then he nods. ]
Poison. Winter. My role is the "Evil Queen."
no subject
Huh.
"The White Witch"
[ BLUE TEAM GOOOO. ]
no subject
And she told you we're trying to find someone from Shadows?
no subject

How’s that going for you? Finding another person.
