week 2, friday

[teufelshund]

[ a precious child is dead.

...and mephisto is just up in his bed playing a game on his phone from home. ]

[voidshift]

[ryn, meanwhile, is laying on the bottom bunk, his cat all curled up with him.]

-what is that noise?

[teufelshund]

A video game.

[ does ryn even know what video games are... ]

...Similar to the games in the computer lab, but on a phone for maximum convenience.

[voidshift]

...I see. Suppose there's more to those things than I knew about.

[he knew games, but not phone games.]

[teufelshund]

Yes, there are games of all kinds! Unfortunately most mobile games I play require an internet connection of some kind, so my selection is tragically limited right now.

[ peak hell. ]

I suppose on the bright side I'm not being tempted to spend my presently nonexistent personal fortune on gacha games.

[voidshift]

On... what?

[he understood for .5 seconds

he no longer understands.]

[teufelshund]

Gacha games. ☆

[voidshift]

-you know, I'm not even going to ask.

[teufelshund]

That's probably for the best.

[voidshift]

Probably for the best not to ask about at least half of what you say.

[teufelshund]

Oh? You may only get answers to some of the questions you ask, but you won't get any to the ones you don't ask at all. I don't think you're really that lacking in curiosity.

[voidshift]

I'm not lacking in curiosity, no, but there are limits. I don't want to know any more about the pillow, for example.

[teufelshund]

You're not jealous of her, are you?

[voidshift]

Don't talk about it like it's a person!

[teufelshund]

I already explained several legitimate uses of this type of pillow to you! If you're imagining any alternate uses, that's on you.

[voidshift]

All I need to know about it is that more than one person has refused to be in here because of it.

[he still doesn't Fully Get It but the way people react says plenty.]

[teufelshund]

It's a collector's item. It's treated with the care and dignity it deserves.

Who were you trying to bring back to your room anyway?

[voidshift]

I feel like I should clarify it was just to talk.

[he's not namedropping.]

[teufelshund]

If you say so!

[ he's still been playing this game the entire time, but seems to have finally gotten to the end of a level or something, as he slips his phone back into his pocket and stretches. ]

[voidshift]

I do.

[huffs.]

...suppose we'll have more of the same to deal with, tomorrow.

[teufelshund]

Apparently! I know it's easy to fall into routines, but this seems a bit excessive.

[voidshift]

Three's a pattern, as they say. Don't think I care much for it.

[teufelshund]

No, it really isn't my favorite way to spend three-sevenths of my week.

[ and fridays through sundays are supposed to be the GOOD days ]

This one seems a little like that first week, doesn't it? Killing someone who was an easy target but also hardly a threat in a drinking competition.

[voidshift]

...it does. So- either someone who just wanted him dead or someone who wanted an easy target, for some reason. Either because they aren't very capable, or they thought it'd be easiest to hide.

[he's not a fan of either one.]
