[ 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.

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.

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)

[ 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.

[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.

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.

[ 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. ]
