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.

...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.

[redeemable]

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

[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.

[crownless]

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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?]

[kaihentai]

Ahaha.

[An awkward pause.]

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

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.

[crownless]

Normally, I'd be pissed off that he kicked it at all and be done with it. But he's not back from bein' dead yet. It's only a week, right? I heard it's been longer.

And-- well, what about you? Where the hell are you, man? All these people fucking off and disappearing...

[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.

[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]

[ishotyouuu]

[he can't help it he fucked up and now you hate him]

i am so sorry for all of this

[crownless]

[oh my GOD he's pissed but he doesnt hate you and you would know that if you actually spoke to him!!

AFTER HE.. RAN AWAY........... YEAH.......]

Bayonetta popcorn.gifs in the background

[ishotyouuu]

[YOU RAN AWAY THOUGH

WHAT ELSE WOULD THAT MEAN OTHER THAN YOU HATE HIS GUTS]

it's like going to a taping of maury

[crownless]

[YOU TOLD HIM THAT HIS BEST FRIEND HAD TO MERCY KILL ANOTHER FRIEND

YOU KNOW, THE TWO FRIENDS WHOSE MINDS ARE PSYCHICALLY LINKED TOGETHER

MAYBE HE WAS WORRIED]

[ishotyouuu]

[YOU SAY THAT LIKE HE'S SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT

HE WASN'T THERE FOR THAT CONVERSATION OKAY]
