[NOT THIS LONG PAUSE. He's reminded faintly of when he was cursebrain insane and she'd also reacted similarly when he mentioned their invites to the parties.]
They have, though even one loss is a loss all the same. ...Are you surprised, or is that confusion...?
Lucas just sitting here for a second like is every single one of these fucks like this. What the hell is wrong with the Overseers. Be normal about interpersonal relationships, thinks Lucas, who is very normal about interpersonal relationships.]
You're aware that people don't quantify their ties in such simple ways, surely...
One of you dying almost immediately and the rest of you staying to help despite the proven risk likely helped with that, at least somewhat... But I also think it's just natural to build bonds with those you spend a good deal of time around, even if they're in a position separate from your own.
[Like being the shepherds intended to lead this whole cursed flock off a cliff!]
He's also just thinking for a second about the general populace of Arpechele who are sooo nasty in Yves route. Fortunately, he is a main character and is thus blessed to know the like 8 other decent people on the island.]
...I can understand that. It's a bit of an adjustment... But not a terrible one, correct?
[Valid of her... New types of people are wild sometimes. Sometimes you go to a new place and there's a wholeass 7 foot tall red woman there who is so genuinely nice.]
Well... I hope that it's something you can adjust to, at least a little. Though it's a good thing that you don't find it an unpleasant difference, even if it's a notable one.
[IMMEDIATELY JUST THINKING OF NADIA!!!!!!! OOOOO AAAAAAA EVERYONE LOVES NADIA AS THEY SHOULD!!!! And then thinking of people like Aerith who are also so kind and so easy to like.]
I'd think that most everyone could agree with that.
[Just a lil nod! GOOD PEOPLE ALL AROUND. But to segue from them just talking about how nice and sweet everyone is:]
Ah - by the way, there isn't all that much to report for this week. No one has died or found anything new, except for the tome on Wednesdays. Apparently they're what give us things like our mail room, and they have instructions about what we assume is the ritual within.
[Why was this week literally so chill when last week was absolute madness.]

[NOT THEIR WILL!!!!! At the very least, everyone is on their guards on Thursdays.]

After all, it'll be bad if we died, since then we couldn't set up veils for everyone.
no subject
It would also be terrible for those on that side to face even more loss.
[ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ATTACHED TO THEIR CULT OVERSEERS.]

[ a long pause where is very clearly ??? at the thought of it being considered a loss. ]
Right, they've been through a lot.
no subject
They have, though even one loss is a loss all the same. ...Are you surprised, or is that confusion...?
no subject
[ how to say this in a normal way. ]
I don't think anyone would miss me.
no subject
...Why do you think that?
no subject
Well, you know... [ kNOW WHAT ] My role here is to mostly be a stepping stone for you guys...?

[ YOU KNOW!!!!! ]
People are just so oddly friendly.
no subject
Here, specifically...?
no subject
I really thought you all would just hate us.

I guess. It's still strange. Where I come from, people are a little quick to betray you, so this isn't really something I'm used to.

...I can understand that. It's a bit of an adjustment... But not a terrible one, correct?
no subject
[ sometimes you are just used to dealing with a certain kind of person, so getting thrown of from that is... ]
I'm definitely not complaining.
no subject

no subject
[ hmm. she folds her arms over her chest. ]
It's difficult to dislike kind people.
no subject
I'd think that most everyone could agree with that.
no subject
[ or any at all, except she can't say she knows every single person here well enough to make a blanket statement. ]

[ imagine the pikashock at just seeing everyone with a ton of letters like ???? HOW ]
no subject
It is, yes... People tried to send items along, too, but I've heard only the rocks have made it?
no subject
Why were you sending rocks?
no subject
[He hasn't even seen any of these rocks so he doesn't know a damn thing.]
