I think she's closer to some of the others, but she'll get to me. But you can tell her that Daan planted some flowers in front of the church for her. Hopefully they'll start sprouting soon.

[residentmerc]

[ oh. ]

She'll like that. [ ... ] He get the seeds off you guys?

[ there's no. there's no flowers fuckin anywhere in locations these days so ]

[mygod]

Mmhm, I gave him some from my stash. If I could pass stuff over to you, I'd probably send you some, but that doesn't seem quite possible...

[residentmerc]

S'alright. We've got access to the island again. Plenty of flowers there.

[ ...peers at the hole like he wants to touch it again but Doesn't ]

Must be weird now when people come to you about that stuff. [ grieving when the overseers can. literally see these fuckers. ]

[mygod]

A little, but... [ they lower their voice a bit, even though there's no one else here ] It won't be too long til they find out, I think.

[ and then back to a normal volume, ]

From there, it's just not being loud about it.

[residentmerc]

[ oh. well. that's good for his water bottle ...

he nods... but ... ]

You sure they can handle not being loud about it? [ it's a joke. ]

[mygod]

[ help

they slowly nod

and then shake their head ]

[residentmerc]

That's about how I feel too.

[ welp. ]

Maybe make it a rule they can only discuss that part in writing.

[ AGAIN. JOKING. ]

[mygod]

I don't think some people here can write.

[ well those people are dead but still

boothill and pickles.... ]

[residentmerc]

[ wow pickles is actually literate. he writes in the dirt ]

They've got a little bit to learn.

[mygod]

I'm sure someone might make a good teacher. Like... Gale.

[ imagine being in that class ]

[residentmerc]

You can't say he wouldn't be thorough when teaching.

[ it will be a 5 hour lecture ]

[mygod]

Oh! I bet he would be the kind of guy who would give you a surprise quiz, and then deduct points when you accidentally write the wrong date.

[residentmerc]

...... I don't think your experiences are universal.

[mygod]

Hmm, I had to do a lot of schooling, so the trauma of pop quizzes still lingers...

[residentmerc]

How often did you write the wrong date on them?

[mygod]

It's really easy to do it! The passage of time is forever changing!

[residentmerc]

Yeah. Every day. So how do you mess that up?

[mygod]

Haven't you ever thought it was a Friday, but it's actually Tuesday?

[residentmerc]

[ thinks about how he is missing like, at minimum, 5 years of his life ]

....Yeah, I guess.

[mygod]

[ they nod, not knowing what he is thinking. ]

It's especially easy when you get really caught up in something, and realize you haven't slept in a few days.

[residentmerc]

You ever consider getting a watch?

[mygod]

Do you have a list of witty comebacks at your arsenal...

[residentmerc]

I stay up at night and write 'em down.

[ teehee ]

[mygod]

You have to be prepared for every situation. You never know when someone will start talking nonsense about not remembering dates.
