Who: Heroes
When: Day 36 night
Where: Back outside the train

[Well. You’re all in some kind of. State. A rather chagrined voice mutters on the wind;]

That isn’t quite how I envisioned it going…

[At any rate! There are new stars in the sky in ginger goldenrod, thyme apple and senna terracotta.

Well how are you all doing?]

[awakenerd]

Easy, trust me.

But... I know it's not that simple. I don't know what to do for this, but we'll figure it out.

[bad_crowmance]

"Easy," he says...!

[ That's not easy at all! How do you trust people, he really isn't sure he knows. ]

....Maybe I should just stick to my room by myself until I get better.

[awakenerd]

That sounds like a good way to go insane.

[bad_crowmance]

Yeah but I already feel insane. At least I won't get startled and try to shoot someone that way.

[awakenerd]

You could give me your guns and weapons. If you don't leave the train you should be safe, and you can assume any monsters you encounter are just people.

I'll keep an eye on you too, and if you want more alone time that's fine, but I don't know how long this will last, and shutting yourself up with potential hallucinations is probably... Not going to make the hallucinations go away. It'll just leave you alone with them.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Uggggghhhh! ]

You're right but I don't like it!

[ He really! Doesn't like it! ]

....Don't think I'd wanna spend the whole time alone, anyway. [ It's a problem when you don't trust people but also don't like being alone. ]

[awakenerd]

Good. I wouldn't let you.

[bad_crowmance]

You really wouldn't, huh?

[ It's not really a surprise though, is it? ]

...Lemme turn around, I wanna face you.

[ Even if he can't really... see straight still. ]

[awakenerd]

I wouldn't.

[Letting go so Crow can turn around.]

I'm not the kind of guy who leaves a friend.

[bad_crowmance]

[ When he turns around, Rean can see that Crow's closed his eyes. He reaches for Rean, groping about at his chest for a moment until he finds Rean's shoulder. He pats it once or twice before Crow drops his head into the crook of Rean's neck. ]

...I know. It's one of the things I like about you.

[awakenerd]

[He threads his fingers in Crow's hair, gentle, holding him firmly in his arms.]

Well, I have my good traits.

Randy has amnesia and Faito is sick, I haven't seen Rufus yet. I'm taking them back to ginger. Will you come?

[bad_crowmance]

[ Oh that feels nice, actually. ]

...Yeah. I'd like that.

[awakenerd]

[Holding himm.]

Good. That way if you see any monsters just remind yourself it's probably only Rufus with bedhead.

[bad_crowmance]

Heh. Is there a difference?

[ It's his idea of a joke. ]

[awakenerd]

[Laughing a little.]

I think monsters are less scary, generally.

[bad_crowmance]

You're right, I wouldn't want to hurt the monsters feelings.

[awakenerd]

So there, if you get a real sense of danger it's only Rufus.

[bad_crowmance]

Sounds like a pretty good litmus test to me. Let's go check out your hot spring together.
