Look-- you have to breathe it for it to actually work, Harrow. So just try taking a slower fuckin' breath and hold it for a few seconds. And if you're coughing up there, the lines are going to get all wiggly.
[digging out the ink and a needle - now just wrapped around with a bit of cloth he's gotten from somewhere so it's easier to hold, because he's been using these things rather a lot recently. possibly it's a brand new one? ye oldes! it's probably fine. And then taking off his coat, blowing hair out of his face, and moving to sit so he can get to her arm. Very concentrated.]
Terribly impatient today. Think nice thoughts. You'll have a better time. Um, how about your favorite new foods here. I've come around on the spicy pudding. It's disgusting at first and then you're like, oh, I like how it burns. Or pretty goddesses playing broken harps?
[He'll get a new one FINE, but once he gets started he's actually pretty quick with that thing - and he's got a good eye for art, just using the notebook drawing as a reference. It's a stick n' poke, so it's probably not even that painful, and harrow doesn't seem the type to white about a little needle action.]
Vira, Shi Qingxuan, Primrose, Endorsi. . . I'm fine including the dead, but it feels slightly inappropriate to either include or exclude Misa. No, forget that, I'll say Medb.
Unfortunately, she is very my type. [Mean girl with sword.]
Vira. . . [Hmm. Also, you really are taking advantage of the one day when she'll gossip. But a lot of frustration here.] Doesn't particularly play on anyone's field except that of the girl she's here for.
how do you explain to harrow that she is also here for a girl
but it's fine whatevs its just teen drama]
Are any of us expecting anything permanent? [Uh. Not to get too much of his Own Shit on the fun gossip but there's a twinge of something sort of painful there.] I think the point is to enjoy the things you can while you can.
Of course I'm not. [Rolling her eyes at him.] That is not the issue. The issue is that she has spent this entire week going to increasingly ridiculous lengths to avoid me, because God forbid anything be acknowledged, even by accident. [Emotion share. . .]
Assuming that's even the reason, which I suspect but can't know because we're in a murder house populated by monsters. It is so stupid.
[there there. molly just pauses in the tattoo, reaching over to pull her into a hug, pat patting on the side of the head. the emotion isn't-- well. it's a little condescending. not intentionally! but it's mostly just agreement. girls are just as stupid as boys and everyone in between. everyone is just stupid.]
Don't talk to me that way, please. I'm not a child. I'm simply - well, it doesn't matter. We finally were able to discuss things today and agreed that we have no obligations to one another, which is for the best.
You were agreeing in a manner that makes it sound like you consider it pedestrian.
[It's not teen drama, it is so serious. She'll go quiet for a minute or so, but then just start talking again.]
She would certainly prefer it to be none.
[Bleh. Anyway, it's probably not great in general to have these conversations while you're cursed to be horny.]
It isn't as though I started things, or have been overly pushy, but you wouldn't know it by the way she acts. And then she'll turn around and scold me in a manner I would not tolerate from anyone else because she thinks I'm being dismissive of a threat.
[defensive! he was listening politely to the ranting about the teen drama! going back to tattooing!!!!!]
I'd agree it seems like she's dealing with some shit badly. Lots of people are. Things seem to be wrapping to a close around here. [...] And you were being dismissive of a threat, so she probably should have roasted you about it.
[um, well! there's like. a vibe that's like. yeah i fuckin' get that shit! becuase he gets that shit. you think you're the only one having gay drama harrow? and he just leans around to look her in the eye a bit.]
Sorry if this is an insane suggestion: did you try telling her that? Exactly what you just said to me?
[You can talk about your gay drama if you want, Molly. This is - well, no. Molly is one of the few people she would actually politely listen to about gay drama on any day, if it was actually about something important. But she's especially willing to gossip today?]
No. I decided that I'm going to focus on pursuing all of the girls here, instead of just the one. It will be much more fun that way.
We'll revisit that one tomorrow. I actually don't disagree with the notion you can cast a wider net while you've got the opportunity, but I also think you should say the other thing? Just. While you've got the chance.
I know you're lying, but I'll suspect you're lying less than you want me to believe if you leave it at that. Perhaps Mahito is indicative of your type.
Fuck off! It's really got nothing to do with looks! Conversation is big for me, and there were a few twists there. Anyway, plenty of people are . . . into Despair in a big way, and that's one I don't fucking understand either.
Oh. I get it. I'm not interested, mind, but it makes sense.
[. . .]
He has strong views on certain topics, and we have had many disagreements. He is an intelligent conversationalist and tends to speak his mind bluntly, but respects those who stand up for their own beliefs even if they contradict with his so long as one argues for them with logic.
Also, he is very tall, if that's something you like.
If you ask me, it's a cold heart that can talk up a pretty circle and pretend to care about the things you believe, all while thinking they'd just get rid of you if ever you made the wrong argument or became too much of an inconvenience. Call me illogical or whatnot but I do like to believe you should have some respect for life, even if it's a bit broken or bent.
[A sniff. also note, molly has BARELY spoken to despair. just bit anti-hours vibes here over one handwavey comment about harrow. the stan.]

There's only a short time left, and she and I will likely never see one another again. And that's all right, I think, but.
