[ it starts like your standard vlog entry, camera facing straight ahead and-wow, he looks exhausted. more so than usual, which is a feat when previously you have gone weeks upon weeks without sleep, but there you go. it's an emotional exhaustion, and you can tell by how long it takes him to start speaking after the video begins that this is hard to

[Huh. Lux has to double check the number for a second, because this was not what she was picturing when he said "troll". He's younger than she expected, too. That, plus how horrible he looks, makes her decide to give him another chance.]

A friend of yours?

[That's a dumb question. Why would he care otherwise?]

Are you okay?

[allies]

I'm great. Never been better. [ hope you like SARCASM, lux. ] Have you found a way to leave yet?

[spellthiefs]

[Sarcasm is pretty lame, actually. But she's not going to push it.]

No, not yet. But when we leave, we just... Wake up, right? Isn't that better than being trapped here?

[allies]

If I could actually wake up that would be fucking fine and I wouldn't care.

[spellthiefs]

We're all going to wake up eventually, I'm sure. We can't stay asleep forever.

[allies]

Unless you're dead.

[spellthiefs]

[Wow okay.

It is pretty clear she's making things worse. Is he dead? Is that even a thing that can happen?

There's an awkward pause.]

Oh.

[Wow Lux, good response.]

Maybe they'll be back soon? Maybe you just have to fall asleep again to come back.

[ face in hands nngghhhhh. ]

Apparently when you come back you don't remember anything. [ eridan is a testament to that. ] Or sometimes you just don't come back at all.

That's what I've heard, anyway. It's probably better this way.

[spellthiefs]

Why do you say that?

[Yeah, okay, she thinks they're all pretty much better off waking up, but she isn't going to say it.]

[allies]

She had things she needed to do to stop certain people from dying.

[spellthiefs]

Oh.

[Yuuuup that's a pretty awesome reason to her. She shoots him a small smile.]

Then I think it's better that she went home, too.

[ it probably is better, to stop everyone from being murdered if anything, but... it's hard to think about all the other horrible things that could happen in the veil and how he isn't there to stop them. ]

Sometimes I think this place is just trying to fuck with me.

[spellthiefs]

[She frowns, leaning forward just slightly.]

Why? Because she was sent back?

[allies]

My best friend and two of my quadrants. Coupled with the fact that I know I won't be leaving here; if they don't come back I'll never see them again.

video;

[spellthiefs]

Quadrants?

[She asks before she realizes that it doesn't really matter. People who are important to him, clearly.]

I'm sorry. There's still a chance they'll come back, isn't there?

Troll romance. There's a memo somewhere but basically there's two people you hate and two people you pity and you're fated to be with all of them forever.

There is a chance, but they won't be the same and that's what's really the mucus on the grubloaf.
