what you're feeling is a thing called 'feelings'

[crownless]

I ran away from that conversation like a fucking coward, and all you can say is that you're sorry you let it escalate?

Go to hell.

[kaihentai]

...Oi.

[From somewhere in Haven's storage compartment:]

What happened, tough guy? Remember that even the strongest of men run from their fears sometimes.

[It's happened.

Sakamoto has, after all.]

When you're running in the other direction, you might see a horizon worth running to.

[crownless]

Sakamoto?

[Another person who's gone and shouldn't be. Seeing him alive is enough to stem Travis' anger a little.]

I, uh. It's a long story. I don't know about a horizon, but I was running to Newt.

[kaihentai]

Friendship is more beautiful than any sunset I've ever seen.

[His voice is oddly calm, and lacks it's natural pep. It remains gentle, however.]

I hope he's doing alright.

[crownless]

Yeah, me too.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

Sakamoto, Wade told me that Hermann's dead. And Newt had to kill him.

[kaihentai]

...You Americans have a very morbid sense of humor. That's not funny.

[crownless]

[a very hollow laugh]

I wish I was joking.

[kaihentai]

Ahaha.

[An awkward pause.]

No, no. He's not dead. Not Haven dead, anyway.

[redeemable]

Had a tantrum and you're blaming her, is it? [Clucking his tongue at you, Trav.]

[crownless]

It wasn't a tantrum, fuckhead! I found out somebody was dead and-- I don't know, I panicked!

[redeemable]

[That grunt was all sympathy. He totally knows how to be supportive. It's all in the awkward silence, followed by the super obvious statements.]

Shit's rough. Take it they were a friend of yours?

[crownless]

[Luckily, Travis is already too upset to be any more bothered than he already is. He runs a hand down his face and sighs, wearily.]

Yeah. Dr. Hermann Gottlieb, not a doctor-doctor but a scientist, resident stick-in-the-mud.

But he's an even better friend of a different friend, and they're, uh, close. [Aka they have a freaky mind link thing oh my god IF ONE OF THEM DIES THEN WHAT THE HELL HAPPENS TO THE OTHER ONE???] I didn't know if that guy was okay... so I just sorta. Booked it.

[redeemable]

[Shit's rough didn't really cut it? At least Travis isn't the only one that wants to bail on the subject.]

We talking perma-death or is there built-in respawn in your neck of the woods?

[When all else fails, take comfort in game mechanics?]

[crownless]

Built in. But he ain't back yet.

[A heavy sigh.]

I'm fuckin' done with this place. I just wanna go home and feed my cat and drink 'till I puke the last seven months outta me.

ohi

[voluptuous]

Is this a lovers quarrel I hear?

hallo c:

[crownless]

If you call takin' out your passive aggression on somebody who didn't do shit a lovers quarrel? Then hell yeah, it was a lovers quarrel.

[ishotyouuu]

[...ouch, Travis. He can only heal from physical wounds, you know.]

[crownless]

[you were VERY rude and this relationship is over]

[ishotyouuu]

[he didn't even mean to be passive-aggressive you were just gone so long and too much shit happened and he just let his mouth run away with his brain like it always does]

[crownless]

[wade can we not do this now you are making a scene in front of bayonetta]

[garters]

Boo-fucking-hoo. Is this supposed to be a pity party?

[crownless]

[OH GREAT. HIS FAVORITE PERSON.]

Nobody asked you!

[garters]

Grow a fucking pair, would'ya? It sucks to be defeated by someone being a baby about getting all touchy-feely. Or did I just crush 'em so hard with my bat there's no goin' back?

[crownless]

[All right, that does it. Gritting his teeth, Travis shoots her a nasty glare.]

Aren't you dead? Go back to hell. It's where bad girls like you belong.

And whatever this bitch says, it wasn't about getting touchy-feely. I thought somebody died!

[garters]

The only Hell I know is having to put up with fuckwads who think they're tough shit day in and day out. This is fucking paradise.

You're joking. You've gotta be. People die every damn day! Isn't it your fucking job to slit people's throats or did'ya get soft when your balls dropped?

o shit

[crownless]

It was a friend of mine. Maybe if your sorry ass had any of those, you'd know how it felt.
