[ah, him. he seems slightly more uncomfortable, on seeing jingheng, but turns his attention back to the... weed.]

...hello. Terrible day, isn't it.

[awol]

[ The Weed. ]

So it is.

Didn't think it'd really come down to something like that. Like it's some joke.

[voidshift]

It was a joke!

[uGH. his ears pin back.]

[awol]

A shitty one.

[ his eyes track the movement before he just sits up on one of the counters like a delinquent bc no one is here to tell him not to. ]

What's on your mind after all that.

[voidshift]

Mostly it's the concern that other people are going to decide to do the same thing.

[what if they have to do this again 'what if they die' no, what if they have to do trial again.]

[awol]

[ trial: worse than death. honestly, it might just be. the over-stimulation of it all made (and still makes) him want to s c r e a m. ]

Now that everyone knows, it's likely.

[ the thought makes him Unhappy. ]

And if it does happen again, then we'll likely have to do the same damn thing. If it wasn't Hell already. [ it's peeling away faster and faster, damn. ]

[voidshift]

They've all been through this-- honestly, I can't believe anyone would want to deal with going through it in his position.

[why. genuinely why.]

It's just extra punishment, with the additional worry about suffering death again.

[awol]

Just going to have to watch our backs more closely.

[ because we're in hell and we apparently deserve this. but also man he is calm at the concept of Dying. ]

He said only twenty people were allowed inside. Figures that it's more complicated.

[voidshift]

They implied there would be a high bar to getting in. I assumed we were competing and wouldn't all make it, but... ugh.

[making a face. we're in hell and deserve it!!]

...anyway. Speaking of that whole mess. I need to ask you something.

[awol]

They're culling us.

[ he raises a brow and just nods at that ]

What is it.

[voidshift]

[ugh. he hates talking about this.]

...I'm sure you could tell, earlier. I want to ask you not to mention it to anyone.

[awol]

[ oh. that. ]

It's not my business.

If someone else does that check, it could be trouble if you want to keep it secret.

[voidshift]

Good.

[at least there's that.]

And I'm aware, but I'm not making that a problem for myself before it has to be one.

[awol]

You think it's going to make you a target?

[voidshift]

If people start getting any bright ideas about copying him? Maybe. It doesn't make me any more of one, but it only takes someone thinking that it might.

[awol]

People definitely have ideas of copying him. Once numbers are involved people go insane... tch.

[ he tilts his head. ]

That or they'll spiral into alcoholism.

[voidshift]

Well, maybe the alcoholism will stop them from planning well-done murders.

[awol]

That'd make too much sense for Hell.

[ haha ]

[voidshift]

[that might be a huff of a laugh, or it might be a stifled sound of dismay. who knows, truly.]

You're probably right. We can only hope for so much, here.
