It's nothing on you. It's indicative of this place.... and what we haven't figured out yet. You're acknowledging our reality. That's not bad at all.

[ you can be optimistic and realistic at the same time. ]

That's good... You guys had some cute new names, but I really like Basilio.

The reality that this is gonna keep happenin', at least. [ and that one body is mitigating damage by losing less people over the whole weekend. ]

Ahh, the name's are still hangin' around there. Probably stick to Bas, so I remember it quicker.

It's not a great reality, but if the souls can be found, we can find a way to get them all back.

[ since they're all souls right now. ]

Oh, so you'll still answer to... your other name? What was it again?

Yeah, that's probably what they're tryna do, right? Find them, bring 'em back.

[ they ... really are all souls. ]

Gloomfang.

[ yeah. ]

Yeah. That's the hope, isn't it? And I believe in that hope.

[ she's so confident in this even if there's nothing to support it. ]

What happened to Gloomfang? What did you do?

[ what kind of wacky cyoa made you be warrior cats or whatever it was ]

A little of it helps, yeah. Even if we can't see 'em, I'd be nice to get a message to them.

[ dead letters... ]

Oh. Shite, my brain keeps mixin' that up with my actual name. It was what the people who were givin' us orders and tryin' to get us to do things called us.

Hmm... maybe after everything is over this weekend, let's sit down together and write letters to them. What do you say?

[ they can be ready whenever dead letters become a thing. ]

What kind of orders did you have to follow as Gloomfang?

[ his tail flicks slightly. ]

… I can give it a try? I’d like to.

[ he’s a tiny bit hesitant though. ]

Findin’ an artifact. And they tried to get us to hurt people.

If anything, getting thoughts and feelings down will help both of us... and if we can find someway that it can reach them... it's two birds with one stone.

[ her expression softens. ]

I'm sorry you were pushed to do things you didn't want. Is that why you came back so injured?

[ for trying to disobey? ]

I'm not the best with words and stuff.

[ essentially. ] But if it helps, I can try.

Basically, yeah. But I think even if you obeyed, it still hurt.

You don't need to be a poet. You just have to be heartfelt. I'd take a few words of sincerity over a long essay that was empty platitudes.

[ he doesn't have to be smart and educated to write a good letter. he just has to be himself. ]

Huh? Then who would ever want to obey?

[ his reading and writing isn't amazing, is more the thing but my god he'll do his best. ]

'Cause someone was proud of you when you did. It was like... some kinda urge, drive to do what they wanted. You had to really put your foot down to disobey them.

[ that's fine... she can transcribe for him, too, if he'd like. my coffee hasn't fully kicked in yet and i spent five minutes trying to remember the word transcribe. ]

A horrible compulsion. I'm glad you tried to be true to yourself and resist. I'm not happy you had to be hurt to do it.

[ yesterday's trial end is kicking my butt aaaa. ]

Yeah, well. Got us back here, like. I'd be bloody pissed at meself if I'd given in and got stuck there.

[ i hope you are sleeping well ]

You did well to come back. Thank you for not making anyone miss you.
