Okay, so, we are not going to talk about the 90% of it that was so stupid, it is not worth explaining. Um, Dimitri and I and Sagihara and Mollymauk were separated off and we had these roles in some sort of game where we were trying to clear our debts? There was time travel and we all had to get married.
[Don't worry about it, Beau. Don't worry about it.]
But, uhm, the part with the screaming heads got a little bad?
[It's true. It was so stupid it is not worth explaining. It was madness and then. The part with the screaming heads got a little bad. Molly sort of withdraws at that, pulling his knees up and curling his tail around them - a very unMollymauk like sort of emotion. You could get the sense that it might be something like shame. It's a pretty rare one for him.]
... Okay. Okay, literally, or -- are you going to tell me what that's about? [sorry, her animal nesting instinct is kicking in so she's like climbing off the bed so she can go get pillows and blankets to tuck them in with.
she also reaches to rest a hand on molly's arm. shame is very unusual, yeah...]
[Glancing at Beau, trying to give her a significant look, but it's in no way conveying the information he's trying to convey, so he gives up.]
. . . Dimitri and Mollymauk both went a little crazy and started attacking Sagihara and I. And it took us a minute, to understand it was those screaming heads, so we didn't do very much that was useful about it.
[A little nod to Beau, like. Yep, that's basically what you're assuming. Anyway, he knows he did fine in there considering he was out of spells, he was just trying to sound casual about it for Molly's sake.]
[She knows what he means. She showed up here with similar marks on herself. Now he's added nearly another Caleb-murder to his scoreboard. He's just pressing the palms of his hands against his eyes for a second, until he sees white.]
I'm just-- If it's going to keep happening, then it's not as if I can pretend I'm bloodless in all of this. There's something fucked in me, and it hates you for some reason.
[There is going to be a point, sometime, when chasing him is too much to ask anymore.]
[deep breath. try to not answer angrily, she tells herself.]
This place has done nothing but try to drag out the worst parts of all of us and put them on display, and you think that's your fault? Like you're responsible for something some other bastard did.
[Well maybe getting them to be angry at him is sort the point here. He wants a little anger about it instead of just instant forgiveness for constantly attempting to murder them.]
[He is grappled, so he isn't exactly going anywhere. Not that he really wants to anyway. He just sits there, sort of sulky silence. He knows that they're right, but it's turned into a stubborn-off that he knows he'll probably lose.
He also doesn't really want to fight more when it could turn out so badly leaving it that way.]
[after a second, beau just reaches across to hold onto caleb's sleeve, as well.
she also doesn't want to fight - she doesn't want to make it a trend, to say something stupid and then wake up with one of them gone. just in case. it's easier to just stay silent, or change the subject.
she opens her mouth - and then closes it. she can't take the risk.]

[Just putting a hand gently on his shoulder.]
That sort of thing just happens on these.
no subject
I could-- hear it. It wasn't as if you didn't do anything useful.
[His grip around his own knees tightens.]
Lucien.
no subject
That's not you. That shit happens in these things. [she moves a little closer, if he'll let her. wraps an arm around him.]
This place is just fucking with you.
no subject
It's all okay now.

It is me, though. It's-- what I do.

Of course what happened is similar to something that happened before. That's what this place does.

Yes, well, join the club. You know that I also have blood on my hands. Aren't we all trying to be something other than the worst of what we are?
no subject
... I'll have to go back to Spring.

she doesn't say anything this time, just tightens her grip on molly. that's the worst part of this. being split up again.]

One night, and then we will all stay together.
[Things can go wrong in the meantime but . . . maybe they won't? Maybe they won't.]
