Tuesday | Week 4

[chaoticlootral]

[Hello, Alex, were you looking to be productive today? Get some shit done? Not be bothered by two dingdongs who are cornering you wherever you are and both obviously doing their best to look like Adults? It's not a convincing act. They aren't good at it.]

Listen, pumpkin, we have to talk.

[Wait.]

That sounds like I'm about to tell you we're leaving you at a bus stop -- uh, no, it's fine, let's just chat.

Comments

[ruffboi]

[Just kind of. Awkwardly chilling in the background. Hey.]

[allsetfree]

[ what up. ]

Iiiiif the bus would actually take me away from here, that would be more of a blessing than a curse. But, uh.

What's up?

[ why does she feel like she's in trouble? ]

[chaoticlootral]

Not even gonna say hey? Kinda rude. Magnus, Agnes. Agnes, Magnus.

[They know each other, Taako. This is highly unnecessary.]

Uh, it's about your brother. He's being kind of-- how would you describe it, amigo? A ding dong?

[ruffboi]

Yeah, I've met Agnes a couple a times. Hey.

[Giving her a thumbs up. Totally unaware her name is not actually Agnes.]

Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. A ding dong.

[allsetfree]

Mi--

[ --hm, no. Alex shakes her head. ] Uh, so firstly, my name's Alex. Still. But... [ she sighs. more importantly. ]

Jonas... What's he doing? I'll - punch him or something.

[chaoticlootral]

Ssh, no it's not.

[It was mostly cuz it rhymed with Magnus.]

Anyway, please do! I think it'd be a big help. I mean, sure, he means well, and I hate to be a snitch, I really do [he doesn't :/] but he's, uh, planning on making some bold moves. Think you should probably have a talk about his plans. Like I said before, I don't dig the self-sacrifice thing.

[ruffboi]

Yeah. Uh. He said some stuff? About you being trapped in like, time loops? Been there. Anyway. He's trying to help, but we're narcing on him, 'cause I don't feel great about just letting it slide.

[allsetfree]

[ yeah, Alex isn't big on self-sacrifice either. from other people.

Alex winces at the time loops. maybe she shouldn't have told him anything. this... kind of adds up from how he'd been talking. and she wants to comment on the 'been there' thing, because, like, she kind of guessed? she figures no one dies that many ways without there being some kind of time stuff going on. (not quite, Alex.)

but instead she just groans. ]

That idiot. Thanks for telling me, I appreciate it... And I'll talk to him.

Do you know, I mean, did he say exactly what he was planning? [ she wants to confront him with as much info as she can in case he tries to play dumb. ]

[chaoticlootral]

Yeah, we had a worm problem. It sucked.

[Not explaining any further, apparently.]

He thinks the Composer will do a deal - say, if he murders someone, or, himself? Y'know. [Drawing a finger across his throat.] A body. I don't know, I don't trust the people in charge to do anything that's gonna benefit anyone but themselves.

[ruffboi]

He's a good kid! [Quickly, since that sounded kind of bad.] He didn't want to kill anyone, just, uh, maybe a Reaper. And I think he got not to mess around like that, after we talked it out. Just - don't wanna risk anything ugly going down.

[allsetfree]

... He is. [ he is a good guy. she's not willing to budge on that. even if he has stupid ideas and lets his temper get the best of him when he's stressed.

she hesitates for a second, because it's kind of hard to decide if she wants to question the worm? problem? or keep on this topic. she knows what she needs to. but she may as well give some information. she gives a slight nod in Taako's direction. ]

But there are benefits for Players killing. It's... True that he could get a deal of some kind. It just probably wouldn't be a deal that's really worth it if you stop and think.
