Oh? What happened?

[sorry he also from this angle can see Curtain's empty eye socket. He lets go of his chin and reaches up to rub some dried blood out from under it]

[fullcursemeal]

I don't know, I was just talking with Yuzu—what are you doing. [tries to pull back]

[thefaultinthestars]

Ah, sorry.

[pulls his own hand away]

There was just some blood. You were talking to Yuzu..?

[fullcursemeal]

I'll clean up in a bit. And yeah, that's what I said. I wasn't "being a blowfish", for the record.

[thefaultinthestars]

[hands go into his lap and he leans back again]

What did you say to her?

[fullcursemeal]

I don't remember the exact part of the conversation. I was trying to get her to understand that winning was possible for more than just one team.

[reaches for his hand again]

[thefaultinthestars]

[well he doesn't stop him from taking his hand? vaguely confused tho]

I already told her that? I was really clear.

Do you don't have any idea what it is?

[fullcursemeal]

I don't.

[holds it up, like he's examining it, and bites the tip of his index finger, the one that was poking him earlier. it's a performative bite, so it doesn't even hurt.]

[jslidfs

Curtain that's kind of gay!

Anyway kim dokja has died you can go pick up in five minutes in the summoning circle if you need him]

Oh...

[fullcursemeal]

[bites a tiny bit harder as he grins, then lets both the finger and his hand go]

How many did you trigger?

[thefaultinthestars]

[honestly i don't know what that was if not an invitation to kiss Curtain instead of having this conversation. Jae doesn't have a taboo for dodging questions.

Which is to say, when the hand is let go it stays close, grabbing Curtain's jaw again but this time pulling him closer as he leans up to press their mouths together]

[fullcursemeal]

[please he was just messing with him.

there's a little surprised noise, but he happily leans into the kiss. sorry about the tailwags that are no more, but know that they exist in Curtain's heart.

also he will still ask about that number, YOU'RE NOT FREE YET KIM DOKJA... but that can wait, for now]

[thefaultinthestars]

[Life goal is definitely to get Curtain to have at least ONE tail again.

It's a deeper, more intimate kiss than they've really had time for so far in this place. Though he doesn't drag it out too long, he does shift a bit closer so that it'll be easier to give another.]

It seems like there aren't any libraries.

[fullcursemeal]

[congratulations on becoming a furry.

he also appreciates this kind of kiss, even if the current circumstances aren't ideal or "appropriate", it's just nice to let go of all the tension for a bit... he's definitely more relaxed and it shows.

staying close, too]

It's a shame...

[thefaultinthestars]

[leans a little more then, one whole side pressing against Curtain's]

Or much else for that matter? I don't really need amenities but I am wondering if they're going to expect every to start making saws out of animal bones to build tables...

[deadpan:]

We really need to find a way to talk to the management. It's fine if they want to feed our souls to a giant snake, but not giving us any cutlery??

[thefaultinthestars]

It just seems a little incongruent? Being allowed some decent access to our abilities but nothing to cook with or even a place to get things from.

[fullcursemeal]

I think it says a lot about what kind of things they're interested in getting out of us.

Khonsu was a right, a world full of humans with superpowers is pointless if nobody knows how to do the most basic tasks.

[thefaultinthestars]

[yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas]

That's true!

[fullcursemeal]

What's that reaction for?

[thefaultinthestars]

This is good character development.

[fullcursemeal]

Jae.

[thefaultinthestars]

I mean good ...non-character development?

[fullcursemeal]

You didn't answer my question before.

[thefaultinthestars]

Question?
