[ ...Okay.

She'll just get up to do that then. Kind of like when you comfort your friend who can't fucking believe people are so stupid? That kind of shoulder patting. The gentle "there there" kind. ]

Do you take the murdered's souls too, or is it just the murderer? I was totally wondering about that before. [ ...while still doing the comfort pat, yes. Her poor associate?? ] Like, this definitely isn't appropriate birthday conversation, as far as I know, but while we're on the topiiic.

[andexecutioner]

[Well, I mean, what the hell else are we going to talk about. This is awkward as hell, but that pretty much just renders it like everything else that happens here, so.]

...It's kind of different for the victims, because obviously I'm not taking anything directly. But yeah, I end up having theirs too.

[innocentloveholic]

[ god this is awful. ...at least she'll sit back down, she's done with the comfort routine already. ]

What do you do with them? [ if he doesn't eat them. ]

[andexecutioner]

That's not any of your business.

[we are such disasters]

But I definitely don't eat them, never have. ...Never tried, either.

[innocentloveholic]

What do you think they'd taste like? Maybe like whatever the person ate last, oooor maybe whatever sort of personality they had? Like, I'd totally be sweet because I'm totally a sweet person! And then Katniss would be like, spicy and bitter because those are her two moods!

[ THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY THAT'S EVER HAPPENED ]

[andexecutioner]

[...He sort of hates you for actually making him think about this.]

I'd think their life would have a lot of impact on it, actually - mass murderers would be a lot different from nuns, that sort of thing.

[innocentloveholic]

[ isn't this what all 26 year olds have to think about on their special day ]

Do they feel different when you... absorb them or whatever? Or do they all feel like whatever souls feel like?

[andexecutioner]

[...if it's not then it should be tbh]

They don't really feel like much of anything.

[innocentloveholic]

[ i'll remember this conversation in three years ]

Oh. [ well that's sort of boring.

...anyway, she'll motion to the c oh fuck she forgot the stuff you eat cake with. Knife and fork and. Well. ] ...Yoooouu wouldn't happen to keep utensils in here, would you?

[andexecutioner]

[...aligula

oh my god there is so much YOU TRIED here]

...No.

[innocentloveholic]

[ well. crud ]

Do you mind eating cake with your hands?

[andexecutioner]

[oh my god]

Sort of. We'll figure something out.

[innocentloveholic]

[ oh my god.

"we'll figure something out" just fucking ACCIO FORKS or something you kumquat ]

Hmmm, okaaay. [ ...anyway, a small clap! the party's not stopping just because the cake cannot immediately be eaten. ] So! I thiiink gifts usually come after cake? But like, I'm sure no one's gonna miiind if we mess with that a little, soooo...

[ a silver ring—one of the ones from the vending machine, with the pink tourmaline in the back. the perfect gift for a person you don't know what to gift. classic! it's... also going on his desk, on the card. ]

[andexecutioner]

[...Aligula, you are one of the most confusing people right now, if his expression is anything to judge by. Good lord.]

...Is there a reason you're doing all this? I'm not telling you not to, I just don't get why you are.

[innocentloveholic]

[ .....? ]

Because I said I would? I always make good on my word.

[ or did you mean the friendliness and the visits and the.... everything she has going for you, buddy. ]

[andexecutioner]

Well, yeah, that's this much. But everything else?

[innocentloveholic]

Because I want to.

[ ...there that's it it's that simple. ]

I'm not interested in making an enemy out of you! [ Right now. If she's gotta do that to win one of these days, then sure, okay. ] And like, you're not bad company? To look at or to keep.

[ He's polite but ruthless, it's great. ]

Sooooooooo why wouldn't I do... all of this? Or all of everything, I guess.

[andexecutioner]

[...There is just so much staring, Aligula.]

I have heard exactly none of that before, so either you're wrong or everybody else is.

[...]

Thanks, though. For that.

[innocentloveholic]

[ ...aww, she got thanked. She feels like that's even a little genuine..! ]

You're welcome. [ ... ] What've you heard before, that they're buttering you up for information or favors or something?

[andexecutioner]

No, it's more like I'm not the sort of person anyone would consider good company, normally.

Not like it matters, because I'm not really interested in socializing most of the time anyway, but still.

[innocentloveholic]

[ ...that's boring, "favors and information" is totally a better reason. Someone should do that. ]

It's because of the whole overseeing games thingamajig, right? I mean, once you get past that, the sadism, and the "not answering really important questions with a straight answer or an answer at all" thing you've got going on, you're really not bad at all!

[ He even liked her questions. Like, Come On. Mark of a true cool guy. ]

[andexecutioner]

I'll answer them if they're important enough. Your priorities are just different than mine are most of the time.

[...apparently he takes offense to that last one, except he sort of doesn't.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ ...wow, of all things. ]

What're your priorities supposed to be? Since everyone else's is escape-or-bust.

[ and hers are. party until she's tired of partying, probably. getting everyone to feel the love tonight, as a general thing. ]

[andexecutioner]

Well, mine are obviously not going to be anything like that, I'd think.

[innocentloveholic]

This is what I'm talking about, you know!

[ :T THE NON-ANSWERS, HERE. ]

Are they about us killing the crud out of each other?
