once he's finished chatting with everybody, she will come find him - she prefers the quiet, as always, and doesn't like to be too crowded. but! in the quieter moments:]
[that's why she wants to!! he has done so much for her just by existing. and while she knows he wouldn't ever ask for anything in return, she still wants to.]
Good. [she says, with a little smile.] Then... we eat sushi, and I'll take you somewhere nice on the ship, before everything unravels.
I'm not sure if you'd like the water park or not, but I can show you.
Ah... yes, based on what I heard, I think you saw what we cannot, on this side.
[she holds onto him a little more tightly.]
But I agree. I will take this time to enjoy what I have. [and what she has is alive friends!] ... Will you tell me what you've been up to since I've seen you last?
[ having alive friends is so great until i look at how full the cr chart is. dies again. ]
Of course! Will you do the same for me?
[ it's been a long time since he could talk to any of them without filters or secrets or the deadline of a single night over their heads. ]
The last few weeks... I think we dedicated quite a lot of our time to figuring out what was going on. Learning what we could. Some of us went on more of those—misadventures through the rifts! But I'm sure you knew already that we did. [ mixed deda and living cyoas ] We also got stuck in an "Applebee's," and had a bit too much fun at the rat king's palace... It has been a journey of keeping each other's spirits up while also trying to get some work done. We mostly succeeded!
[ even if there's trauma and stuff they're doing okay relatively speaking ]
[ SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED me trying to summarize and experiencing memloss oocly ]
Yes, neither of them turned out very well. But it's all behind us! [ no cyoa is ever any good. just the way the cookie crumbles. ] Applebee's is a restaurant! It has a rat waitstaff and very middling appetizers. For some reason we spent a lot of time there? ...I don't know? I think we were bored. People would curse you all from time to time too, for [ enrichment ] morale.

Are you hungry?
no subject
but yeah they can escape the 20 naked guinea pigs and all forty people being in a room together again. ]
Famished! [ he'll offer her an arm to walk with. ] Tell me you've all got options besides handwiches and slop?
no subject
Of course. Is that really all you had available? No wonder you all asked for food... [a beat.] What do you want to eat?
no subject
Honestly, it wasn't so bad—well. So long as you like pie? Or "Applebee's." I mostly ate fish out of the pond, to be honest.
[ graveyard is weird place full of weirdos ]
Have you had sushi before, Throne? It's quite good, from what I tried of it!
no subject
I... have not. But I'd like to try it.
[warmly!]
I'd like to spoil you a little, I think.
no subject
there's a moment's surprise, but then he laughs. he's kind of more used to spoiling people with attention than the other way around. ]
When you put it that way, I think I want to be spoiled?
no subject
Good. [she says, with a little smile.] Then... we eat sushi, and I'll take you somewhere nice on the ship, before everything unravels.
I'm not sure if you'd like the water park or not, but I can show you.
no subject
Let's do that! All of it! [ and he's excited, but there is a little pause. ] From where we were, I think we saw the ship in its... less idyllic form.
[ bleak ]
But you're right, it's unraveling. I think we have a difficult time ahead of us—so let's enjoy this lull while we have it.

I can try.
[so much has happened, but she's happy to talk with him as long as she can.]
... I did hear about the rifts. Viktor told me about his, and Owner told me about yours. [...] I am not sure what an Applebee's is.
no subject

[she is just going to let the applebees thing go, like, sure! rats and appetizers. why not, everything else in this place is buckwild.]
Curses, hm? [a beat.] One of you must have been responsible for the wall that makes you want to party.
