[Seeing Molly shuffle is kind of funny -- in that Manwol's impression of him has always been someone pretty confident, easygoing. She finds that she doesn't mind him being here, though.]
I think some people would call it pure selfishness. [she smiles though.] Something like 'giving up', or 'letting the true murderer run free'.
[Those are definitely things he is, and it seems to be back after the brief blip in the system. Offering out a ... to-go coffee cup? It is not coffee in there.]
It can be multiple things. That's the beauty of the self-sacrifice. It makes you completely full of shit and shit fuck full of selfless at the same time.
Edited (wow im sorry the double edit is so embarrassing ) 2021-06-20 02:30 (UTC)
Manwol raises her eyebrows as she accepts the cup, then she looks -- genuinely pleased??? SHE'S ACTUALLY SO HAPPY, HELLO!!! molly you're a treasure.]
You're wonderful. [MOLLY RIGHTS!!! she takes an appreciatve sip.] I had a drink before I died the first time around too, but this one tastes so much better.
Kind of. That time I actually committed the crime, but I wasn't put on trial. I still got a drink though -- that I had to pay for, come to think of it.
[she paid for a awful drink after getting scot free away from her crimes.]
[He makes a face while he tries to decide if he'd had enough out of that Not-Coffee cup earlier to delve into this, but, fuck it. Manwol has a very understanding face?]
Just found this out today, so, y'know, the details are still a bit unknown to me, but I'm dead too. Technically? I'm not sure what I count as at this moment.
[A hand is given. The ghost lady may touch all she likes. This particular hand is at the end of an arm with a snake tattoo winding all the way down it through a field of flowers, the head of it ending on the back of his hand. In the center of it, a large red eye. It's not ... quite tattoo texture. A little too smooth for skin. There's another on the palm. These are probably normal and fine I wouldn't worry about it.]
[Wow these tattoos are so normal and fine!! Does Mollymauk have a manicure... Either way, Manwol holds his hand between hers as she admires his tattoos. Her own hands are pretty cold, but maybe that's because this classroom isn't heated.]
Well, I think I can safely say that you're probably not a ghost just stuck in physical body. [like her] I like your tattoos. They are tattoos, right?
[She'll pinch his palm. Just a little tiny pinch! To make sure he's not a GHOST because ghosts can't feel pain, heh]
Just ... [He rubs at his neck, across the back of it.] Felt like shit to see Caleb like that and then have to leave him. Know you lot would take care of him and everything. But still.
[Feels bad man.]
Oh, right-- Yeah. The fucking auction. Not even sure where to begin with that one.
All three of you are in separate dorms, right? Have you talked to Caleb about transferring to your dorm or Beauregard's?
[it's a mostly curious question, she won't claim to understand Caleb's feelings on the matter -- but after Thursday... well, Molly has a real, definite point.]
[If Manwol is just vibing anywhere Monday, Molly will wander over. He's got food from one of the stalls, but it looks like it's just absolutely too much fruit for one person. Maybe he's just excited to have fresh fruit again. He'll just rudely eat it the whole time he's talking.]
Told you. In and out of graves all the time. Apparently it's my thing.
[Manwol blinks once, and then her expression immediately brightens. She's not one to really show her emotions on her face, even back in emotion share week, but she's clearly pleased now.]
Impressive. Though I think we'd prefer if you skipped the 'in' part from now on.

W1 - SATURDAY
He shuffles for a bit, but once he starts talking it isn't so awkward.]
You did a brave thing, in there.

You want to know something funny?

She looks at him over the rim of her cup, intrigued]
Sure. What is it?

Then she leans forward, gesturing for his hand. Let the ghost lady touch you, Molly.]
Let me see.

week 2, saturday
Molly.
[then she holds up a bottle of champagne]
Want some?
no subject
[Holding out his hands for it. Share please.]
I guess I'd say something about this week not really being better than the last, but ... Well. Seem insensitive, considering.
no subject
No, you're right. It really isn't any better than last week.
[just popping this bottle open and pouring him a generous amount, then holding her cup up]
Aside from what we're drinking of course. Cheers.
no subject
To a shitty week. Prost!
[Then he downs it.]
... How's Fall Dorm.
no subject
[he was not but manwol thinks molly would appreciate this fine factoid]
no subject
What is with everyone and the eating things lately? Swords. Rocks. What the fuck is next?
[What does. Any of that mean. Anyway.]
I fucking hate this thing where we're locked in separate buildings on nights when people just apparently randomly die.
no subject
It certainly shows a lack of imagination. It's already been three weeks -- they could stand to change it up by now.
[the rinse and repeat of sleeping and then having to hunt for a body the morning after, is that really even entertaining now]
Maybe that's where the auction comes in.

[molly!!!]
Welcome back, Mollymauk.
no subject
[Grinning back at her, also clearly pleased.]
Thank you. Glad to be here? I suppose. In the middle of the murdery-ness of it all, I suppose.
no subject
w7 - saturday
Manwol's looking at the sky while walking back, but she picks up her pace so she can walk alongside Molly.]
We forgot to write a bar into existence.
[hi molly]
no subject
Feck! We forgot to write a bar into existence! I knew we forgot something. Damn.

You're right. About endings.

Can't say that I'm quite ready for mine yet, but ... y'know. When it comes and the time is right.
