Re: day 408, post game.

It's me. [ he's a little more round than venti might remember... ] I was looking for you. I didn't think you'd be this far out.

[ Sitting up a little straighter ]

How come? Did something else happen?

[ DO THE HORRORS EVER CEASE?? ]

Re: day 408, post game.

[586]

...

[ stares at him. ]

What? Nnnno? I was worried. You did die four times...

[ Physically deflates in relief ]

Oh, whew! For a second I thought you were going to tell me the whole city burned down or something!

Well, since it's not that, would you care to join me?

[ Patting the rock beside him ]

Re: day 408, post game.

[586]

...no, at least not yet. [ l- laughs. ] But I wouldn't come bother you for that.

How are you feeling, and don't tell me fine.

[ but he will join him, sitting awkwardly on a rock that's way too small for him. ]

Hmmm . . .

[ Plucking at the guitar strings idly ]

A little melancholy, perhaps! But nothing more serious than that.

Re: day 408, post game.

[586]

...then let me sit with you until you're feeling a bit less melancholy.

Re: day 408, post game.

[outofoffice]

Ehe, if you want.

[ The guitar strumming stops for a moment ]

How are you feeling, though? That was quite a game.

[ pentium lounges alongside the koi pond... and opens his mouth and dips his tongue into the water in an attempt to lure them over, so he can eat them. i'm sorry he's like this, venti. ]

Me? [ looks back at him. ] I'm fine. We won. I've just been hungry... which, reminds me, I'm sorry I... [ looks back at the pond. ] I'm sorry I ate you.

[ MUST you eat the fish he's been talking to for like a full twelve hours now? ]

Re: day 408, post game.

[outofoffice]

--It's okay! I'm not angry or anything. Everyone did all kinds of things they wouldn't normally, me included. And anyway, I'm back and just fine now~

Re: day 408, post game.

[outofoffice]

Did I taste good though?

1/idk

[586]

[ YES. ]

Re: day 408, post game.

[586]

But I can still feel bad about it. Killing someone is one thing... but eating them, especially a friend, is something else.

[ jghfkjhkh ]

done

[586]

W- What kind of question is that?!

[outofoffice]

[ CACKLES ]

You didn't answer! Does that mean I'm gamey and you're trying to spare my feelings? That's sweet~!

[586]

N- No! that's... that's not it. I don't, I can't... [ grits his teeth and moves away from venti. ] I'm hungry. I'm so hungry. [ lowers his head as the growling becomes louder. ] You were delicious and it's taking all the strength I have n- not to try to eat you again.

[outofoffice]

Oh . . .

[ A normal person would be more afraid, but Venti is not a normal person, nor has he ever been good at even pretending to be one. ]

Is this normal? What do you normally subsist on?

[586]

[ people. ]

Meat.

And, no, not like this. I can normally eat and feel full, but for some reason no matter how much I eat it's just not helping. [ prrrrobably because he's not eating the right thing, but nevermind that. ]

[outofoffice]

Hmmmm . . .





Do you wanna go get burgers?

[586]

Are you sure you’re feeling up for it?

[outofoffice]

Sure! Why wouldn't I be?

Better some burgers than me or the fish, anyway.

[586]

…

[ he feels like venti should be more upset at him… ]

I guess that’s true. Are burgers your favorite food?

[outofoffice]

Oh, no, not at all! I'm a vegetarian, ehe.
