[...a w k w a r d...]

...Anyway...

[greenmamabear]

Uhhhhhh...

[ > Fern is demoralized by her own mistakes and loses one heart.

> Roll for Charisma to recover.]

Do souls taste good?

[BAIL OUT BAIL OUT.]

[andexecutioner]

[...HOLY - okay. Okay, from the look of it that actually wasn't what he was expecting, hang on, god will you just look at his brain screech to a sudden halt- ]

I...don't. Eat them. So I wouldn't know.

[greenmamabear]

You- [Huh.

Huuuuh.

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH.]

So. What was that at the execution?

[andexecutioner]

There's a difference between taking it out and eating it.

[greenmamabear]

Oh.

Well.

Mistakes have been made.

[andexecutioner]

Well, it...I guess that's a fair assumption? Most people aren't used to that sort of thing, I guess.

[...it. it could have been worse.]

[greenmamabear]

[This is the most uncomfortable conversation she's ever been in. Maybe barring that time she had to drink coffee from a sentient coffee cup, but she doesn't remember that so. Most uncomfortable conversation.]

So. Uh. Let me just lay this out, for myself. We get pulled here. Probably kill each other, do these trials, and then you take the souls.

[andexecutioner]

I take the souls if you kill each other. You don't have to do anything, remember.

[i mean there was the incentive earlier, but who's counting.]

[greenmamabear]

Uh huh, sure. [Look how convinced she is, murder man.]

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you can't- or won't- tell me why or how this is happening?

[andexecutioner]

You're assuming right.

[greenmamabear]

But you don't eat souls.

...But you are eating, right?

[Fern.]

[andexecutioner]

Whenever it strikes me, yeah.

[...]

I mean, the kitchen is closed at night.

[greenmamabear]

Huh.

[She supposes that makes sense.]

So, you take souls, but you eat somewhat normally, so I can't exactly figure out the, uh, motive for all this. Which you aren't going to tell me, for whatever reason. Which, uh, you know. You do you on that.

So. I guess. Uh. I don't know, are you enjoying this?

[andexecutioner]

[...Fern. Honey.]

Well, it's not for the sake of feeding, at least. I'm not some sort of monster or anything. I've got my own use for the souls, I guess? But it's not eating them.

As for enjoyment, it's...interesting, sometimes. But it's not something I'm particularly getting off on, and it's not like it's something personal.

[greenmamabear]

[People she can get. On some level, so far, sh can get monsters. As long as she understands the reasoning, its not that hard.

But apathy and "professionalism" with something like this is baffling her a lot./small>]

...Honestly? That's almost worse.

[andexecutioner]

You think so...?

[greenmamabear]

If you don't even care if people died, one way or the other? Yeah. It bugs me.

[andexecutioner]

People die all the time. I guess I just don't see why it matters whether it's here or somewhere else.

[greenmamabear]

...Yeah okay, I can't talk to you anymore right now.

[She had other questions but nah. She's getting up.]

[andexecutioner]

[He just shrugs a bit.]

Whenever you want.

[greenmamabear]

[She shakes her head in disappointment and walks out the door.

And doesn't quite close it because she has to pop her head back in and go.] No, seriously, fuck you for not knowing the difference.

[andexecutioner]

[He doesn't even look up from what he's doing.]

As far as I'm concerned, there isn't one.

You can keep screaming at me for not getting it or you can fight me on it, but either way you're just pissing yourself off.

[greenmamabear]

Probably. But I wouldn't be pissed at all if you didn't bring me here.

So you know. Suck on that or ignore it or whatever.
