[ He doesn't resist, falling into step. ]

[perfectpower]

[He'll lead Nero back to his room. This should be private enough, Arthur doesn't really come by.

Once they're inside, Bradley pulls Nero into another hug. It's private, so he can be sappy now.]

I missed you.

[perfectdistance]

I'm glad you stayed alive.

[Hugging back.]

[perfectpower]

If there's anything I'm good at, it's stayin' alive.

[Really though, with how some of the stuff went down, he thinks it's a miracle he survived.]

...they caught me that week. They voted me out too. But somehow, I didn't die. The other killer did.

[perfectdistance]

[ Nero had to do so much work to keep him alive at home.

But that's neither here nor there, and it's a fight he's not prepared for at the moment. ]

I know. You weren't there with me.

[perfectpower]

Yeah. It was just a really long week.

[...]

What happened that night anyway? Were you possessed? Or did I just piss you off that much?

[perfectdistance]

I was pissed, but it's not like I had a good reason to be. You hadn't done anythin' recently.

[There's some clarity now, at least.]

[perfectpower]

[Nothing 'recently'...]

Sounds like what happened to the tiny scholar too. She was really irritated that night when we spent the curfew with her.

[perfectdistance]

[ Listen, he resents and he remembers and he's 600+ years old. ]

So it was the same sort of thing.

[perfectpower]

Seems like it.

...what was it like over there? Were you still around in the ship?

[perfectdistance]

There were so many rats. I don't know why there were that many rats.

Also it was... fine? Weird things, but that's basically to be expected.

[perfectpower]

[Rats...]

Was that other guy there? The blonde guy.

[perfectdistance]

Vash? Yeah. He was there when I got there.

[perfectpower]

He's not dead too right? He showed up here on his own.

[perfectdistance]

No, I think there's something else going on with him.

[Nero doesn't know because I was not as present as I wanted to be.]

[perfectpower]

[RIP your time mira]

Him showin' up made that one leader- the stick in the mud one- act kinda crazy. Kinda like how White gets sometimes about Snow.

[Bradley not realizing Vash and Knives are twins, comparing them to another set of twins.]

[perfectdistance]

Vash was the original Callisto, but I don't know much more than that.

[perfectpower]

...what? When did they switch?

[perfectdistance]

I dunno exactly, but if you look at the profiles it's still listed as Vash.

[perfectpower]

[Flips over to check.]

...holy shit. Shouldn't we be worried about this?

[perfectdistance]

I dunno if there's anything we can do about it right now.

[perfectpower]

We'll just have to be prepared to blast 'em if need be.

...speaking of which, our magic is back, but sometimes it doesn't work.

[perfectdistance]

Mine was working fine when we were dead.

[Says his spell words and floats up his cutlery... And then they shudder in the air as they fall onto the bed.]

Looks like we're on the same rules now.

[perfectpower]

[Okay, now he's pouting a little, because Nero's had his magic back for longer than he has.]

[perfectdistance]

[ ... Heh. ]

Are you poutin'?
