[ Recent events are enough of a push to get him to do what he was waffling about, but that doesn't mean he likes having to be the bearer of any news, let alone the kind where he gives mildly hypocritical advice. ]

i know it hasn't even been a week but apparently people are already biting the dust again, so

hi, i'm nate, and enough people have asked me about this crap that i should probably have made this sooner. i've been to another world like this before, the whole "kidnapped population of different people, different places" thing, got the t-shirt, so i might be able to answer some questions people have

death probably isn't gonna stick here, but that doesn't mean you should be testing your luck since there's always some kind of price with these things.

seriously, don't be stupid.

So you wish to challenge me?

1/

[primordialerebus]

I... guess?

2/2

[primordialerebus]

[ As soon as she hits send, she gets the feeling she just did something really stupid. ]

To not be an asshole!!!

[ She quickly adds, hoping that will be enough to prevent whatever's coming. Especially since she's starting to get a hint as to who this subzero dude is... Oh god. ]

heh heh

[saibot]

What happened to your eagerness to fight?

Does your bravery falter so easily?

Re: heh heh

[primordialerebus]

Dude I was like joking. And bold of you to speak of bravery when you still won't answer the toilet paper question. So uh, fuck off.

[ She really shouldn't be doing this, but fuck this guy. He needs to chill out. ]

-> audio

[nonscriptum]

[ Oh, my God. ]

Hey, Psycho-bot. Chill out. And you- [ Girl who keeps picking fights. ] Stop picking fights with everybody.

replying with text

[primordialerebus]

I'm just asking for some basic fucking decency holy shit.

private @Nightshade

[nonscriptum]

is there an echo in here? what did i JUST say?

asking for decency is fine but some people just aren't going to give it. you can't rise to that crap because they'll just poke at you until you get pissed off.

[primordialerebus]

To not pick a fight WHICH I'M NOT HOLY SHIT!!!

[ She ignores the second part because it'll require admitting he's right. She knows he's right and usually, she wouldn't be this... goadable. But a lot just happened and she's ready for a fight. ]

private -> back to audio, sorry

[nonscriptum]

Yeah, you are.

[ He can't fight over text, it's so fucking stupid, and it doesn't properly convey the tone and utter weariness over the line. ]

I get it, this place sucks. It's frustrating, you're angry. But this isn't gonna make you feel better.

private - still text ft. Teenage Angst (kinda justified)

[primordialerebus]

[ She's fully crying now, whether out of anger or sadness, she's not sure. ]

I'm not! And what do you know??? You don't get it.

private

[nonscriptum]

Yeah, what do I know?

[ Nate pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs. Four days dead and he's already exhausted, but his tone softens. ]

I know you're scared. Get some air, kid. Just try not to trip out there.

Re: private

[primordialerebus]

How's that going to help. There's nowhere to go, nothing to see other than fucking trees and apparently a bunch of assholes.

[ The fights going out of her, leaving sadness and a deep fatigue. She wants to sleep. But she can't sleep. The closest she's gotten to it is this weird haze that leaves her alone with her thoughts. She lets out another sob. ]

[nonscriptum]

I don't know what to tell you.

[ Nate huffs a sigh. She's still a kid, and she'll keep arguing against any advice - in her position, he'd do the same. ]

But if you can't sleep and you want to talk, I'll leave my tablet on.

Private

[primordialerebus]

[ It takes her a long moment to reply as she just blinks away inky black tears while staring at the tablet. ]

... I don't think I can, so you might be up for a while.

[ She's not sure if she actually wants to talk, but part of her hopes he'll actually stay up or something. Most of her hopes that she'll just annoy him into going away. ]

[nonscriptum]

then i'll be up

[ It's the last message he sends. ]

No.

[nonscriptum]

wow
does it make you feel all big and strong to challenge kids to hand to hand combat?

newsflash, asswipe, it looks pretty sad

[saibot]

I did not incite a challenge. And I asked if that is what she meant. She should to learn to choose her words more wisely.

However, if she wishes to battle are you going to be the one to stop her?

[nonscriptum]

no, but i will happily stop you from accepting the gauntlet that a teenager threw

fuck off before you embarrass yourself

[saibot]

You cannot stop me from doing anything.

[nonscriptum]

wanna bet?

[ @subzero blocked from @drake's post; posting capabilities lost ]

[originallutece]

Teach me how to do this.

[nonscriptum]

people pissing you off already, madam lutece?

[originallutece]

Preemptive planning is always a wise idea.

People pissing me off, as you say, is an inevitability.
