[ ... okay, they have to ask: ]

The hell happened?

[evocationary]

Sora's dumb protagonist ass decided he was going to go explore space. So he did, and he ran into this big monster with a bunch of elephant arms.

[ that is - not. that's half correct. ] I guess it, uh - it screamed? And made his ears and nose bleed. He wandered up to my room half deaf.

[retellers]

[ ... Wolf has a hand to their forehead ]

... Right. [ so judgmental. anyway; ] Coulda been worse, I guess. Maybe look around the space station? Haven't gotten to check it out for myself since I'm castlebound this week. Maybe they have a cure for ... elephant armed monsters.

[evocationary]

[ can't believe lup is gonna do a break in to find senzu beans for sora ]

Can do. [ ... ] What's the castle like?

[retellers]

[ no. ]

It's a castle. [ wolf, please. uno effort. they shrug ] ... There's a few common areas, but for the most part, we all keep to ourselves in rooms the others can't access unless we're meeting up to talk.

[evocationary]

[ she's curious! she gives them SUCH a look at it's a castle, but thankfully they keep going. ]

Do you guys talk to each other a lot? I mean, I'm sure you don't. Lone wolf and all. Can I see the castle?

[retellers]

We meet up if something big happens, but that's about it. ...Guess I talk more to Fox and Rabbit, since we're stuck together.

[ they don't seem to mind being stuck with those two, at least? ]

Don't know that I could bring you inside even if I wanted to.

[ wow, the if. ]

[evocationary]

Wow. After all these gifts I've given you, this is how you repay me.

[retellers]

I don't need you in my personal space, on top of everything else.

[ it's so hard to tell if it's true or if it's snark ]

[evocationary]

Whatever, you like me the best out of your entire team.

[retellers]

If I had to pick, I like the ones who I've never spoken to best.

[ okay, it's definitely snark. ]

[evocationary]

[ definitely snark. she can smell snark a mile away. ]

Nope! No. I'm your favorite. I can hear it in the tone of your voice. [ c: ] Are there people on your team who actually haven't come to talk to you?

[retellers]

About half.

[ they seem so unbothered by this ]

[evocationary]

[ of course, mr. loner ]

Do other people from other teams visit you? Or am I weird for branching out.

[retellers]

I've gotten... a lot of requests, since we're in the lead.

[ they sound. so tired. ]

[evocationary]

Hah! [ she sounds utterly delighted by it. ] Are they asking you for your secrets? That you don't have?

I talked to you before it was cool.

[retellers]

[ the pained look on their face implies that yes, that seems to be it ]

If this is what being cool means, I don't want it.

[evocationary]

You could just pawn them off on Swan. Be like "I don't know! But I bet Swan does!"

[retellers]

Why Swan?

[evocationary]

Because Swan pawned me off on you. And it's funny.

[ and also because swan is taako's leader and she has the cain instinct ]

[retellers]

They'd just come back when Swan didn't know anything. It'd be even more annoying.

[evocationary]

You wanna know how I know you're an only child?

[ this is like 95% teasing ]

[retellers]

Uh...?

[ they seem so unsure ]

[evocationary]

[ a laugh. ]

Jesus, relax. You are really bad at this joking thing. Let me banter with you, fuck.

[ play with her in this space, wolf ]

[retellers]

[ sighs ]

Fine. How can you tell I'm an only child.
