sorry for your loss

[When people are returned to the main floor, they will find a trail of cupcakes from the elevator to the dining room. There is a table of drinks, pills, and cupcakes and cakes from the automat.

And on the table, in the center, is this asshole, with a party horn in its mouth. Despite that, it talks into everyone's mind.]

As you strangers tend to have a tradition of parties after an execution, I took the liberty. The plates and cups are over there.

be merry I guess]

That was definitely not "just fine".

[Is she really about to give this guy a lesson on how to use his words?




GUESS SHE IS.]

Why don't you try "Instead of wasting your time worrying about what you can't do, why don't you start figuring out what it is you can do?"

Same thing, but totally sounds better.

[ You can try, Estelle.

You can try...! ]

Why would I do that?

[carryabigstick]

Because it makes a difference!! A few extra words won't kill you.

[...]

And for the record, showing emotions won't kill you either.

[otherworldlyking]

Don't feel like it.

[ 'Showing emotions'...eh?

He'll look at her and then shrug. ]

I've shown enough. Not really some kind of bleeding heart, like most of you.

[ And even if he was, would he want to in a situation like this? ]

[carryabigstick]

Geez-- sorry I'm not as cute and wonderful as your girlfriend.

[Because he would if it was her, right? It's fine, it's worth it to be able to jab at him a little extra.]

I would prefer zero bleeding actually, thanks.

[Don't even joke about it okay.]

Honestly, if it weren't for that one moment, I'd probably still have the wrong idea about you. Not everything has to be extreme, there are middle grounds between gushing about your feelings about everything that moves like Olivier and bottling them all up like they don't exist.

[otherworldlyking]

She's not my girlfriend. [ Yet. ] Would say the same thing if she had spoken the same words you did. Not that she would, since we seem to have an understanding.

[ ...Sometimes.

Towa was rather good at knowing when to reel him in a little, to varying degrees of success—though over six months ago, when they were on the Eventide, most of those involved him not listening very well. However, it's undeniable that he felt a heavy fondness for her, enough so that thinking about her invoked a certain feeling. Hence the slight smile that seemed more amused if anything. ]

Didn't mean literally bleeding. And even if I had a middle ground, it's none of anyone's business.

[ Okay now he knew he's just being difficult (then again, when wasn't he?) But what could he say? It was entertaining trolling from time to tme. ]
