Indulge my curiosity for a moment, would you?

( could you deny a face like his? could you? you couldn't. which is good because he's going to ask a somewhat morbid question. )

We're all, apparently, dead. But some of us have died again and been returned via the church. Some of us have disappeared or died and not been returned. Are they still here somewhere? Or have they been sent back to where they came from?

Those are hypothetical questions, by the way. Feel free to try and answer but I think it's going to be a lot of time that could be spent on something more fruitful.

My actual question: could the the way of dying a second time crucial to who stays and who goes? Or did those of us that have been lost end somewhere in this place that we've yet to find?

( he knows that it's not necessarily a fun thing to think about but he recalls the resurrection of his aunt hilda after her many deaths at the hands of his other aunt versus how harvey's brother had come back. two dead people returned to the land of the living but only one went on to live a relatively normal life.

ambrose knows that might be because hilda is a witch herself and tommy was a normal human. but his curiosity still stands. )


Do we need to institute the buddy system to make sure no one else wanders off and doesn't come back?

( he's joking. mostly. )

No idea! That's half the fun for me. I'd consider it a learning experience about what sorts of people we're dealing with here. Anyone who'd take that offer is either a risk taker or deeply, deeply stupid.

I don't know
Staying alive is apparently super hard for some people


[Such sarcasm.]

Haven't died once since I've been here

I can do that. Like the circus, I will never stay in one place long enough to get settled. It's all I can do since I'm trapped in this one fucking dark town for an eternity.

( as long as they only talk about other peoples feelings, this would probably be fine with him. )

I only know how to play hymns, I'm not sure that's the sing-along vibe you're hoping for.

( and trust me, Ambrose, he only plays depressing ones. )

Maybe?

I mean. Do you want to do anything? Drink, play some game, something like that?

[ sometimes, staying distracted helps. it makes it better, temporarily. ]

We could start with a beer. Do they have board games here? Or movies? Most of the things we used to do back in New Ham need a lot more than two people.

Beer and a movie sounds amazing. Something fun? Maybe an action comedy or so.

[ it's not a date, it's just dudes hanging out together.

right? right.

(he doesn't think about sam. it hurts to do that.) ]

In one of the cabins in the village. Miner's Castle, #1.

[ just bros being bros is something grizz can definitely handle right now. ]

Sounds good. I'll be here.

[ and, well ]

Thanks.

[ grizz responds, something along the lines of "still" and they chat for a little longer — and then there's nothing for him to do but to wait for ambrose to come by his place.

his. it doesn't really feel like it and looking around with a critical eye, grizz notes (not for the first time) how bare the walls are, how little decoration there is so far. no time to change that now, and he wouldn't even know where to begin.

he tidies up what little there is just to have something to do until ambrose knocks (or kicks) on his door. ]


Hi.

It helps, for a little while, right?

[ playing fugitive, pretending that things are normal. it takes some of the dread and anxiety out of existing, at least for a moment. ]

It's not much, but - [ he shrugs a little, stepping back and letting ambrose into the little cabin. ]

I wouldn't go that far.
