Would there be treasure inside? [ jokingly considers it ]

[bloodread]

It'd probably be cursed.

[perspire]

Something dangerous to go after then.

[bloodread]

[ He considers it but... ]

Maybe at night. [ This is what being in a horror game does to you. ]

You checked out the rest of this place yet?

[perspire]

Are you thinking about it?

But a little bit. Mainly went into the bookstore I found.

[bloodread]

Why not? It's not like I haven't been cursed before.

[ He'd keep that quiet normally but his profile. ]

I guess I'll look there later, but the only books I've ever liked are martial arts ones.

[perspire]

--If you want to go in later, and want some company...? [ he puts that out there, but he's not sure if akira would actually do it ]

I found some story books. There's some fighting in there, but not about martial arts.

[bloodread]

You know what, sure. [ Someone will beat them to it probably since mini cyoa, but! ]

Unless it's practical, I'll pass. I've seen enough crap that I don't need to read about it too.

[perspire]

[ he nods at that ]

That's understandable. I'm sort of the same way, but it's just something to pass the time here.

[bloodread]

I wish they would just be straight with us on what the rules of this game are.

[perspire]

That'll be easy.

[bloodread]

I don't care if it's easy or not. Waiting around is just freakin' annoying. [ Even if that's not what they're doing, but it sure feels like it. ]

[perspire]

Waiting around-- Why do you think we're waiting?

[bloodread]

Cause we can't actually do anything with the info we have.

[perspire]

We really can't... Have you tried talking to the Watchers?

[bloodread]

Yeah, they're mostly useless. Why, did they say something to you?

[perspire]

No. We haven't talked much. I was hoping to talk to them more this week.

[bloodread]

They like to ask personal questions a lot, it's weird. Maybe there's a point to it, but I've never liked small talk.

[perspire]

Oh, is that so...?

[ SIGHS ] I don't like talking about myself a lot.

[bloodread]

[ Nod. ]

I don't see the point in getting close to people, especially in a place like this. [ lol. ]

[perspire]

[ look at where that got you akira ]

Especially people who are supposed to look after us but aren't really doing all that much.

[bloodread]

Watching us and looking after us are two different things. But I wouldn't be surprised if they said both.

[ He just doesn't trust them because it's a limited commodity where he's from. ]

[perspire]

--I guess we'll have to just wait and find out which it is exactly.

[bloodread]

Someone else can handle becoming their best friends. [ Just a wave of his hand, he's bad at and not interested. ]

When something or someone needs to be punched, I won't be that hard to find.

[perspire]

You'll probably come out of nowhere and throw a punch without being called.
