[ruffboi]

Yeah - but we had to be nudged in the right direction a lot.

[It. Took a while.]

[chaoticlootral]

Yeah, but you had a direction to be nudged into? Aren't all our adventures that way? Can't think of any where we just done did solve it without a competent woman or boy detective around to help.

[ruffboi]

What's different is. . . uh. Anthy.

[Anthy.]

She was the one in charge there? Kind of Istus vibes. Smiled a lot, passive aggressive, liked jokes. Nice?

[chaoticlootral]

See. Competent woman.

[Bing!]

But there's a lot of boy detectives here, so maybe it will be fine?

[Anyway, as he says that-- Magnus will get hit with two memories as well.]

[ruffboi]

[Woof. That's. That memory is a lot. Staring up at the top bunk for a minute after it ends, giving Taako the opportunity to feel any feelings he has. But.]

. . . Shouldn't of gotten on your case about giving up.

[chaoticlootral]

[Taako's not in his feelings too much about it. If only because he already told Magnus about it, though. Seeing it all laid out in the details though . . .

He looks up at the top bunk himself, hands twisting up over his stomach, before he turns his head to just look at him again.]

Mm.

[ruffboi]

Don't 'mm' me. I acted like you didn't try, but you did.

[Sighing, reaching out to grab his hand. Like a real loser.]

[chaoticlootral]

[This betrayal, making him talk about feelings and hold hands? Fine.]

You weren't, uh, wrong. I was kind of-- I was just accepting it. That I might not make it out of here.

[ruffboi]

[Yep, I'm submitting this as my betrayal thread as we speak.]

I know. But - it's just 'cause your guys' demons were rude.

[chaoticlootral]

[He scoffs a bit of a laugh, holding up the hand that's holding Magnus'.]

I mean, that's a way to put it, sure.

[ruffboi]

That's what worries me. The shit we did worked because Anthy was trying to find ways to let us get away with it. But the pink voice here - sounds more like what you guys were dealing with.

[chaoticlootral]

Yeah-- the, uh, NPCs here. Aren't really NPCs?

[He sighs out, rolling his head around for a second while he tries to decide whether or not he can share this, but-- seems like it'll be okay.]

Purple Heart is a guy from our game. His name is Junpei.

[ruffboi]

Oh. Whoa. What?

[Come again?????]

[chaoticlootral]

[Very slowly.]

The guy who's pretending to be a flirty dashing magician is a kind of schlubby sad big brain dude who's name is Junpei, and he was on our sex demon boat. He's dating Dick . . . ?

[ruffboi]

. . . Huh. Okay. So they aren't just. Spirits or something that were here all along. They're also from other places? And they're trying to help.

[chaoticlootral]

Yeah. Though he said the details on when they actually arrived are kinda fuzzy. I'm not sure I believe that, since, y'know, who the fuck actually knows, but like I've been saying. They're trying, I guess.

Probably means the other two are also from the previous games.

[ruffboi]

So it probably means they actually can't do fuck all, huh.

[chaoticlootral]

I mean, they fuck, at least Junpei did. 'Cause of the boat? He even turned into a kitty cat and had weird furry sex and was all braggy about it during the trial where I was dead. It was a huge distraction!

[ruffboi]

Uh-huh.

[What.]

Okay, so he's a kitty cat furry? That's fine. I'm open-minded.

[chaoticlootral]

Sure. I mean, pretty basic if you ask me . . . but no one is asking me.

Makes you wonder where the other two are from though, right?
