@ Stone, audio | December 5

Who's shitting great idea was it to show some people something out in the middle of the lake and then kill them when they try to find it again?

[The querulous old man voice is currently very angry-sounding. There's a weird rumbling in the background of his voice. Stone might actually be... growling? Yeah, he's definitely growling.]

Did anyone see what did it? I want to find whatever that was and tear their throat out.

[He's a bit bloodthirsty when he's pissed off. Sorry, kids.]

[ daylight listens carefully and…  he can’t squint — his protoform isn’t that elastic — but he does the equivalent of it for a few seconds.

then, after considering it, he nods in what seems to be agreement. ]

I think that means you’re lucky then, mister. [ day pauses, realising how, um, tactless that must have sounded. ] Er. All things considered. Getting killed the way you described must have sucked big time.

[ definitely… a teenager… ]

[Stone gives Daylight a long look, as if trying to decide whether to be annoyed by that. Sadly (luckily?) his anger has started to wear itself out now, and he can tell letting it lose on this... kid... isn't going to help anybody, and will just make him feel bad later. So he just growls irritably, but pats Daylight's elbow, the easiest thing to reach.]

Worse than when I died the first time, sure. But it was still fast. Could have been a lot worse.
