I was going to start something at home, but that's on pause until I get back. [ Return? ] What did you finish?
Two people are dead from those who decided to act on Thursday, and the person who gets executed. It's... hard to deal with. You're right. We're each doing as much as we can and comparing our notes with yours.
[ ... ]
That should also include taking care of yourselves. Your hero name is "Burnout" but that doesn't mean you actually should. [ It's said lightly, but they do mean it. ]
At least it's on pause. And that you can go back right to where it was so you can pick up where you left off. [ ...but he smiles a little. ] We had a rescue mission to accomplish. A friend of ours needed help.
I just kind of wish I understood why. I mean I got it, I know why with Argalia. But...it's the other half I wish I could ask to try and understand what people were thinking. It makes it harder to know where to go from here if we can't get a gauge on that.
[ but he makes a face at the callout. ]
Why are you the second person to say this to me? I'm doing okay. [ he says, as his mental health rolls around on a sliding scale constantly. ]
[ something about that seems to make him pause and really assess snake for a moment. it's a first real meeting, but they seem to be saying things he agrees with, and things he aligns with. it's...a little funny that it makes everything easier to address instead of aborting like he thought he would when he got the answers he initially wanted. ]
It would be if I still had my powers. And I'm not giving up on asking, by the way. I'm going to keep trying until something works. [ so there. but ah. ] ...it's something Tama said to me, and I understand where she's coming from, but I am managing.
[ he makes a face, but only because he doesn't want to sit down!!! but something about that... ]
Snake. Be honest with me. Is that the kind of thing you think it is good to be stubborn about? [ he says, as if he's ever really going to stop banging on the gates for his necromancy and waiting for the halloween store to open. ]
I'll be honest, then. I lost access to what I can usually do, when I came here. I lost my ability to heal. If you're stubborn, if you're not stubborn, I don't think it'll matter. The power you have here is what you have while you're in the city.

[ They've really tried to do everything they can. ]
The only way to know that is to speak with the dead. Not exactly possible while we're in this city.
Oh? Who was the first?

[ A slight smile. ]
Tama's right. [ Because she is right, or because Snake said the same thing? Who knows. ] Anyway, it's good to hear that.

But why did we lose access in the first place? Or get the things we got? That's one of the things I'm still trying to understand.

It's okay. I appreciate the honesty, really. I'd rather hear that you're not sure either than know you have an answer and you just can't tell me.
