004. With no alarms, and no surprises

[drydrown]

For those of you who were wondering what happens if those insipid little stones we were given break: I still wouldn't necessarily recommend it until we're certain that it's absolutely nothing, but...



...Well, I certainly don't feel any different, either.

I don't see why not, I suppose. Planning on doing something to your own, or just morbidly curious?

[scythegun]

Morbidly curious, really! I'm rather fond of my own, actually.

[drydrown]

Good to know that some of us are, I suppose.

[scythegun]

Dare I ask what irritated you so badly about your own?

[drydrown]

I just didn't like the thoughts it was putting in my head. Pathetic desires that never troubled me before that insipid thing showed up.

[...he's pretty sure?]

[scythegun]

Oh really? That does sound troublesome. What were the desires?

[drydrown]

Why is that any of your concern?

[scythegun]

I'm just curious, that's all.

[drydrown]

It hardly matters anymore, does it?

[scythegun]

No, I suppose it doesn't. You're still not feeling any different after breaking it?

[drydrown]

...No, strangely enough. I'd imagine that I should, if that thing really was what Retrospec was claiming it to be.

[scythegun]

That is strange. I would have imagined that it'd be something you'd notice right away, but perhaps it'll take some time? Or maybe you're just incredibly lucky!

[drydrown]

That's what I've been wondering, if it's just something I'm not going to notice right away...

It's odd, to say the least. Though I don't regret it any.

[scythegun]

I didn't think you would.

Though as I said, do let me know if you notice anything odd! I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can!

[drydrown]

Keep that up and I'll start thinking you're concerned.

[scythegun]

[mmmmngh.]

Who knows, I might be!

[drydrown]

[...........................]

Why.

[scythegun]

Sometimes you just can't help it!

[drydrown]

...I suppose not, if that's going to be how you insist on being about it.

[...that...is decidedly not the answer he usually gives to that sort of thing, though it's not like he seems all that aware of that.]

[scythegun]

[Huh. Weird.]

Perhaps I'll explain a bit more the next time we talk, but I don't really feel like discussing it where anyone could see!

[It's Complicated, okay.]

[drydrown]

I'll hold you to it, then.

I do have some information regarding those things we spoke about last, so do let me know whenever you have the time for discussing.

[scythegun]

Of course! I'm hoping we aren't out here for too much longer; I really do miss the city.

[drydrown]

Believe me, I don't envy you in the least.

[Outdoors. Ew.]

[scythegun]

You shouldn't. I've been having a good enough time, but it's certainly not worth being away from the city!

[drydrown]

What are you doing out there, anyway? Besides fighting some sort of ice monster.
