[Good morning, Exsilium! Rin Asano is cold, wet, hungry and irate this rainy Monday morning. Read on to find out why!

In a voice of pure seethe:]

You know we have some absolutely crazy people running around here? Not on medicine or anything or kept track of, no, well just running around.

Well you know who the very worst of them is? His name’s Gin Ichimaru, he’s this snaky, venomous, pallid, scrawny guy with white hair, and he’s a public menace, I’m not even kidding.

He’s a public menace! [Restated for emphasis.] That’s why you should come down to the hold, right now, and you should come and find him and – OHHH MY GOD AHHH –

[The splashing of footsteps as Rin books it, heard only briefly before she mashes the “mute” button on her communicator.]

[velveteened]

Yes, that's right.

( that's a little startling how does she knoh he always forgets the devices let you check. )

[payback]

[It nettles her all the time too, she understands. Now she's a little curious, trying to think of how she can go out wrangling lots of information out of him without making it too obvious.]

How long have you been here?

[velveteened]

Around five months. What about you?

[payback]

[A good long pause.




Woah.]

It's been a year.

Time flies!

[velveteened]

( daaamn gurl )

It does, doesn't it? (/^▽^)/ It can get pretty hard to keep track.

[payback]

It's ok. I like it here mostly.

There's a lot of work to do.

[velveteened]

That's good!

What do you mean?

[payback]

We weren't brought here for no point.

As bad as it is at least we get to try and do something about it.

[velveteened]

( ...gives him pause. that's true, isn't it? no matter how things seem, they've still got this purpose they were given. and shouldn't everything the ue does be all the more reason not to give up while there are things they can still do? )

You know, that's a really good way of looking at it.

[payback]

[Pretty much her thinking tbh.]

Also it sounds terrible but it could be a lot worse.

[velveteened]

I don't think that's terrible at all.

[payback]

Well, it gets pretty bad around here sometimes. The bright side is, we can change it.

[velveteened]

Exactly! So it really could be a lot worse.

[payback]

I just think about that world I guess and it feels terrible to say.

that's about as bad as it gets.

[velveteened]

( it is terrible to say, he thinks, and he's not even sure that it's true. it - always seems too easy, to use absolutes like 'things can't be worse than this.'

but if it makes her feel better, he's certainly not going to say otherwise. )

So if you accept that, it's easier to work towards the goal, right?

[payback]

Yeah. And it's true anyway. Too bad the Initiative messes up all the time but they try...
