Hm... well, can't go wrong with something like burger and fries, then. It's pretty much peak "I just wanna enjoy myself, fuck what anyone else thinks" food.

[he'll start pressing buttons, then. as he does so, he looks pensive for a moment, and then—]

... You dead or something?

[headmt]

Sounds fine to me.

[He doesn't know what either of those things are, but--]

Ah. Not going to let me pretend to have gotten away with that one, then.

[enfangs]

[great, then it almost seems like white has legit reasoning rather than just defaulting to fast food for all life choices.]

I can drop it, if you want.

[headmt]

Might as well own up to the fact you wouldn't have asked if you didn't want to know.

Yes, I'm dead. And 'or something.' It's a bit complicated.

[enfangs]

Yeah, you already lost me.

[headmt]

[That's alright.]

I died. Apparently eight months ago.

[enfangs]

And the "or something" part...?

[headmt]

Complicated.

[Helpful!]

I think I'd be owed something in return for sharing that story.

[enfangs]

I don't have any money or anything.

[headmt]

Don't need money, need-- Something. Your wish. A story. Doesn't have to be real.

[enfangs]

[he shifts uncomfortably.]

I mean, I want power. Does there have to be some kind of deep reason behind it?

[headmt]

No. If anything it's a little refreshing to hear something so simple.

[He seems to mean that?]

[enfangs]

[...

well, white doesn't quite meet molly's eyes because now he feels 0.5% guilty for not exactly being honest.]

Right. Well, I think I'm pretty straightforward.

[headmt]

[Molly would be hypocritical to judge "not exactly honest." But he's a little too tired right now to be anything other than mostly sincere.]

. . . It's a little hard to talk about. I don't know that I can yet. [He reaches up to scratch the back of his neck.] Or that it's even worth talking about. Giving that story power over me.

[enfangs]

... Yeah, I can see that. [there's a bit of an unspoken apology for asking in there, since white is. not great at actually saying sorry.] Don't think it's the kind of thing most people would like talking about.

[headmt]

[Yeah that's fine. Considering who he hangs out with, unspoken apologies are pretty much accepted.]

The last time I spoke about it, I had a truth spell cast on me.

[enfangs]

Uh. Not a lot of fun, I'm guessing?

[headmt]

I wouldn't recall it as one of my favorite moments, no.

[enfangs]

Yeah, being forced to tell the truth sounds like it fucking sucks.
