Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

It won't work on you, since you already know the situation, but. Yes, it is.

[he's getting black coffee and a sandwich, in contrast. then once they get settled:]

Hm. Where to start with this?

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

What were you fighting about?

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

... His visions.

He threatened with throwing them overboard I suppose to keep Jae hostage from me and I told him we should go ahead and do it.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

...Why would you tell him that? To disarm the threat?

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Because I'd been convinced he was gone for good since long ago. It's part of the reason why I kept pretending to be Shura around him. I already knew he didn't want to be Jae again.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

[sir what the fuck is any of this nonsense]

...I see.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

It turned out he wasn't actually serious about it, so I broke into his room to try and take them from him.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

To actually throw them away?

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

That's right.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

And that's when you got into a fight? He was trying to physically keep you from taking the memories away?

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Essentially, yes. I had to turn into a fox and we had... a bit of a tug of war situation. At one point he used a different memory to distract me and then I accidentally bit off his finger.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

[boys why are you so stupid

but she can't say it right now because you'd believe it]

...I see.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Then he punched me to get me to let go and started watching everything he hadn't looked at yet.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Oh.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Indeed.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

So how'd that go for him?

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

... I think he hated it just as much or more than he expected.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Not very surprising.

And yet he decided to do it anyway.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Because to Booker Storm not doing that would have meant running away.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

And after talking to the rest of us about it, he'd already talked himself into doing it even though he didn't want to, probably.

What a ridiculous man.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

In one of his memories, you'd asked me to tell him you didn't want to interact with him anymore.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Huh?

[has to take a moment to parse that]

...Why? It's not like I had any problems interacting with other assholes.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Because of Jae's nature as a Constellation.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Like a literal constellation? Made of stars?

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

... It's possible.

But for the purpose of that conversation, think someone closer to the Producers on the boat. Beings who see others as a source of entertainment and who will devour them for their stories.
