week 1; thursday ( natsuo )

[axilium]

[presumably some time after natsuo got treated (hopefully... he got treated...) and carried back to his room—

he's getting a visitor! for once, belph actually looks worried.]

Hey, Natsuo.

What the hell?

Comments

[axilium]

... I don't. I mean, I'm not thrilled that any fighting went down—but actually, I was hoping you didn't hold a grudge or anything, so that's a relief to hear.

[randori]

I don't! We weren't fighting— that wasn't a fair fight. He just stabbed me, that's all.

[axilium]

... Uh, I'm not the expert, but I don't think most people would say, "he just stabbed me, that's all."

[randori]

That's really all that happened. I got in the way of his knife.

[axilium]

Yeah, how about you don't do that anymore?

[randori]

It wasn't on purpose!

[ How about you don't make such unreasonable demands? Sometimes, stabbings are just unavoidable. (this stabbing was entirely avoidable) ]

[axilium]

[natsuo..........]

Well, yeah. I'd hope you aren't a masochist, because that seems like a very bad quality to have in murder mansion.

[randori]

[ pulls this face tbh ]

No... I know a M and I'm nothing like him.

[axilium]

... You must have a very interesting social life.

[randori]

Eh- [ is that a good thing? it sounds like a compliment, but he's not sure ] Yeah, well, he's my number two, so...

[axilium]

... You're not an S, are you?

[randori]

NO WAY!! I'll punch you for that, but I won't feel happy about it!

[ no, he's just V

V for Violent ]

[axilium]

[immediately backs away.]

Have you thought about curbing those violent impulses?

[randori]

.........It's a work in progress.

[ But he is working on it, believe it or not. Or he was, and then promptly forgets about his efforts every opportunity there is to get angry. ]

[axilium]

... What's the progress?

[randori]

The planning stages...?

[ It hasn't even started yet ]

[axilium]

Yeah, that's what I was expecting. No wonder you're stuck on that stage—planning seems to be a weak point of yours.

[randori]

I'm great at planning! I said it's a work in progress! It's getting there!!

[axilium]

It can't be "getting there" if you haven't even started.

[randori]

It has!! I've been working hard at it for two whole years!!!!!!

[axilium]

...

Natsuo. I'm going to give you some very valuable advice.

Sometimes, it's better to let things die before you put your foot in your mouth.
