INTERLUDE

[perfectpower]

[Fuck.]

Adnopotensum

Where are you right now?

[teenrebellion]

INTERLUDE

Titan's Call.

[ he may not be able to drink but at least it's away from... everything else. ]

[perfectpower]

[Yeah, fuck that.

Once Bradley shows up, he takes note of what Kazuki is drinking and orders the same drink in alcohol form, which he wordlessly slides over to Kazuki.]

[teenrebellion]

[ ah.

with a humorless laugh, he'll accept that glass and take a swig. the vibes are Not Great, fam. ]

[perfectpower]

[Good. Enjoy the burn, tiny rockstar.]

I heard what happened, from the bean guy.

[teenrebellion]

[ a queasy feeling settles in, less from the alcohol and more from the memory, as kazuki sinks a little deeper into his seat. ]

It was bad. I - I've never seen anything like that before. Not involving anyone I knew.

[perfectpower]

...yeah. Death in general is usually bad, but that sounded worse.

[How do you emotionally support a teenager when you are constipated about your own emotions?

...he orders a drink of his own.]

Lemme know if you want more. I'll get 'em for you.

[teenrebellion]

Thanks. It's probably better not to drink too much, though. Bad habit.

[ ...after a moment's hesitation, he says in a small voice, ] It hurt. Some of the others had it worse, but it hurt a lot.

[perfectpower]

Yeah, it is a bad habit.

[He says while drinking his own drink.]

...yeah. You had to feel his emotions while it was happening, didn't you?

[This death was so much more horrific than tutorial deaths usually are.]

[teenrebellion]

[ there's something akin to an emotional shudder. ]

Yeah. I don't think I'll be able to forget it.
