more fear and more hunger

[ He's not desperately combing the beach today but he's probably leaned up against a wall somewhere, looking awfully grim. ]

Not good.

[florescences]

[ she will come over to lean against a wall next to him. camaraderie. ]

Yeah, it's really not good. For it to happen again... and for the people who won't get a second chance... and for the people whose hearts this tears at...

[boxcar]

Ay. All of those things.

[ It's less personal this time for him, but... it doesn't change that it fucking sucks. He glances over to her. ]

How are you doing?

[florescences]

I'm okay. I'm really worried for some people, but I'm okay.

[ she is worried and sad, but she's composed. she has experienced too much death to be too shaken. ]

Two this time.... also complicates things.

[boxcar]

Yeah.

[ He shifts at that. ]

Same person...?

[florescences]

It'd make it easier if it were, but I think it's two separate people. I won't write off one person trying to get more apples, but...

It'd be a lot.

[ for someone to just go for it like that. not that she's never met people like that. ]

[boxcar]

That is... going to complicate things. Very much.

If we are doing that trial thing tomorrow too, two people throwing a wrench into it could make it very, very difficult.

[florescences]

Yeah, we almost didn't find out Jing Yuan in time last week, so this week... I don't think it's impossible for us, but we'll have to try our best.

I know we can find at least one. We'll have to try to keep the tensions from being too much, if it arises.

[ people are going to have their focus and preferences. ]

[boxcar]

We are knowing what to expect this time, at least. I think.

[ Less time spent on asking the angels questions, more time spent on immediately figuring it out, maybe. Said like there aren't going to be ten people at their door going YOU SAID THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. ]

Yes. That is important.

[florescences]

[ truly the inb4

she smiles a little. ]

People will still be emotional. [ understandably so. loss and grief and the knowledge that their numbers are thinning... ] But at least we'll have more direction. The market and library.... It's a start.

[boxcar]

The places we can go are wider now, with two bodies.

It is like a mounting trials.

[florescences]

It is a higher level of difficulty now, huh? But I know you shine with perseverance. I don't know what hardships you've lived through, but I know you can persevere.

We are not alone to handle these mounting trials.

[boxcar]

...I just don't understand it...

[ Why. Who? Two??? ]

We may persevere, but there will be scars.

[florescences]

For knowledge, for health, for life?

[ there are many reasons why someone could kill, but those are the most applicable right now. ]

Scars may come from wounds, but their presence can still be beautiful.

[boxcar]

I don't know that I can find what is happening here beautiful, Elysia.

[florescences]

Not all that is beautiful is good, but resilience is beautiful to me. What is happening isn't good, but I find hope in people who who still try.

I do not want to pretend or ignore hurts. It is a part of everyone.

[ feeling pain, feeling sorrow, feeling despair and yet still going on... it's something that shines in the darkness. ]

[boxcar]

I am glad that someone is able to see a brightness in it.

[ He does at least think Elysia is sincere enough that this doesn't come off as pointless optimism to him. Being 50,000 fucking probably helps. She's seen the rise and fall of entire civilisations. ]

For now, though. We are still learning how to get through it.

[florescences]

I know many don't share my viewpoint.

[ she doesn't mind. some plays that are considered tragedies, she has called romantic.... she is not blind to the horrors. she just is weird for a few reasons. ]

It takes time to walk forward and to build something to stand on. We will try out best to find our way to end of this road.

[ that is full of murder, but it is still a road nonetheless. ]

[boxcar]

Sounds like we'll have to figure out how, and soon.

[ Within 9 hours, that is. Yike. ]

[florescences]

Our nine hours to catch two killers... with whatever clues they did or didn't mean to leave behind.

[ she raises a small fist. faito, hwaiting, etc. ]

[boxcar]

[ He doesn't get this reference nor does he return the energy here but I think she's cute. ]

I think, at the least, both would go down fighting.

Adolphe, for his friends, and Brim...

[ Well, just because. He kind of absently rubs at a spot on his abdomen. ]

[florescences]

[ she will teach him about it when two people aren't dead. or maybe because two people are dead. they got to waste time while people look at bodies and the market and library. ]

They both had fight to them.

[ even if adolphe was so tired all the time. ]

Did Brimstone punch you there?

[boxcar]

[ Two people are dead and Elysia is gonna teach him what real aegyo cringe is... ]

I'm not sure. I woke up a little sore here.

[florescences]

[ i beg to differ it's going to be gap moe ]

Huh? Where were you locked in?

[boxcar]

In Whoville.

With Adolphe and Brim both.
