[selfimmolation]

The what?

[ he doesn't read the newspaper. ]

[squelching]

... The crossword puzzle.

[help. she shows him! it is basically finished, with the names of the npc animals in the rows and columns.]

You don't read the newspaper?

[selfimmolation]

Oh, that.

[ he looks a little ??? at it being the npc animals... ]

I don't bother. It's mostly gossip stuff, and I don't care about that.

[squelching]

[tbh she looks a little amused and exasperated at "mouse" being the answer to 5, but. also visual reference now that i'm no longer on mobile.]

Really? And you haven't written to Addy recently, either...?

[selfimmolation]

Why would I write some random person for advice?

[ ace is making a face at the mouse with a gun thing also ]

[squelching]

[with. a look on her face like ace just said something REALLY funny, she carefully folds up the newspaper.]

Hmm... No, I guess it isn't like you.

[selfimmolation]

[ ?????????? ]

Why did you ask?

[squelching]

[she giggles, which is maybe a wee bit ominous.]

No reason! I was just wondering if something I read was true.

[selfimmolation]

Something you.... read?

[ he is putting numbers together ]

Was I in the newspaper. Saya.

[squelching]

[her lip wobbles precariously for a second

and then she bursts into laughter without saying anything, like an asshole. but she at least shoves the newspaper at him so he can see for himself.]

[selfimmolation]

[ unfuuuurls it...... ]




Why.

[squelching]

Ahaha, you should get your heart checked. It sounds serious.

[selfimmolation]

It sounds like I've got a disease.

[squelching]

It's a disease called love.

[now she's just bullying.]

[selfimmolation]

[ she is, but unfortunately it makes him laugh ]

Love's a disease, now?

[squelching]

Of course, Mister Burning Heart.

[selfimmolation]

I've been called passionate, but no one's ever accused me of something like this before. [ he's over it he thinks it's silly ] They really picked names at random, huh.

[squelching]

Probably. Are you and Vane even close?

[selfimmolation]

I've never even talked to the guy one on one?

[ this changes later but ]

[squelching]

Ah... They really did pick the names at random.

[looks at trial. help.]

[selfimmolation]

Well, it's not the worst slander I've gotten, I guess.

[squelching]

Mhmm, they could've easily fit a few more puns in there.

[THE LIMPID POOLS OF HIS EYES...]

[selfimmolation]

No, there were enough puns.

[squelching]

[in a terrible imitation of ace's voice:]

His body is a booty I want to plunder. Arrrgh.

[selfimmolation]

[

ok she deserves this he is grabbing her and giving her a noogie ]
