[gravitysrainbow]

[looks like he's considering arguing...

[ibedeadpeople]

[sitting at the table. the middle distance sure is fascinating]

[pchaaair]

[. . .]

Thank you.

[byallmeans]

[No. No you are not.]

[Hand on the door.]

We didn't finish our conversation.

[ibedeadpeople]

[okay, I am not so self-absorbed as to let that happen so at least you're listening to Tavros]

[gravitysrainbow]

[i guess I am not going to my room because mits is going to bully me more]

[pchaaair]

[gravitysrainbow]

[sssstopping]

... We finished it...

[gravitysrainbow]

[maybe I just wanted to murder my pillow]

[byallmeans]

You never gave me a reason.

[gravitysrainbow]

Do we need a reason... it's not like I have a choice...

[byallmeans]

[A long pause, before he comes over.]

She was on Apus?

[byallmeans]

We have a reason. I'm just making sure you know it.

[ibedeadpeople]

[c'mon, honey, that pillow never did anything to you]

[gravitysrainbow]

... 'Necessity', I guess... is that a reason.

[ibedeadpeople]

[please don't ask me to do too much just yet]

[but I will smile at you if you need it]

[gravitysrainbow]

[it exists]

[You guys can stare blankly at the walls. I am going to make fishing spears- because relentless activity is totally a coping mechanism.]

[pchaaair]

[no it's fine. he's coming over to check on you anyway, so he just leans over and gives her a hug.]

. . . I'm sorry.

[pchaaair]

[it totally can be and it's probably healthier than some of the other coping mechanisms we've got :|a]

What are you doing?

[ibedeadpeople]

[a long pause before she answers, voice low]

Rose was one of the first of us to wake. She was...her brother was that guy on Lyvus. ...She was the first of us to be lost.

That girl looked the same. She looked exactly the same.

[ibedeadpeople]

[...i will take that, it gives me time to get my gameface back on]

Huh? No...no need...

[byallmeans]

It's the best reason. But it's not the only one.
