These "muns" are a real pain in the, um, in the rear, aren't they? I'm sure you'll do all right, though; and, well, if you do find yourself needing a hand, there's plenty of other people here who're willing to help, too.
[ A sharp intake of breath. He hasn't heard- seen- another healthy human being in a while, much less one that smiles after seeing him. It almost throws him off. ] Ah... I couldn't possibly... [ A bitter pause. ] I couldn't possibly ask others for assistance, you see.

[Milo blinks, bewildered. I-is there something on his face? Spinach in his teeth?]
Ah. Er, i-if that's how you feel about it, that's all right, too. Though you may need it. There's plenty of awful places they like to drop people into, unfortunately.
honestly anything from that video is up for consideration
[ Realizing he may have been staring, Daniel lets out a tired sigh. ] There is not much choice in the matter. The priority in any situation would be to survive. [ A pause as he runs his fingers through his hair. He really shouldn't ask, but- ] ...How awful?
...Things. [ In his case, there were many things. Things that had once been people- that smiled and cried and showed sympathy. But once the humanity was taken away- they were but monsters. ] Yes, I am quite familiar with such... things.
You... [ ...A young girl? What- how could she be here in this horrible place. The setting of this headspace. Part of him thinks he should attempt to protect her. Another part says that he couldn't possible be capable of doing that, knowing how stained his hands are.
Regardless, he finds his voice. ] I cannot even afford a single failure.
It has already happened to me numerous of times. [ which always leaves her more bitter to the world ] Another failure means another reset--in other words another chance to make things right.
[ He furrows his brow- an expression that's become more or less impermanent. ] A chance to make things right. [ Like him drinking the amnesia potion. He takes another look at the girl. There did seem to be some sort of strange wisdom behind that child-like expression. ] Yes. You are fortunate enough to have that much, but...
[ Numerous times, she had said. That he weighs this against having another chance goes unspoken, but it's obvious what he's thinking. It doesn't matter how many times- you must carry on. ] I suppose that makes you much stronger than most.
...I wonder if I am as strong as you say. Every single failure makes me have a bitter taste in my mouth as well as leaning to becoming a spectator as the events unfold. [ she'll heave out a sigh. ] Don't become bitter like me or you'll question your motives to finding a way out in the first place.
[ He attempts to offer a smile. Attempts being the keyword, for such an expression is foreign to dry, cracked lips. ] To say something like that leads me to believe your fate is not much better than mine.
[ There's a rush of tension in his shoulders as the other man appears. Whoa, there, bro- don't go creeping out like that!! But at least it looks like he's someone he can speak to... even if he's very intimidated. ] Perhaps it is but a last resort, for there is nothing else.
[ Daniel has spent enough of his time trolling bring around these creatures to know that things are more or less "out of sight, out of mind". So much so that Daniel himself can be the one doing the stalking as long as he wasn't spotted. He carefully opens the closet door. ]

There were things there. Strange creatures. And horrible floods and storms and uncertain supplies of food, too.
[He shudders. Yeah, being cold and hungry had not been a high point.]

Despite my failures, I tell myself the same thing as well. I hope you have better luck than me, hehe...

Fine, Mr. Face will just wobble after him slowly. God, you're fast Daniel.]

Danny here will hide in a closet. Hopefully the ratty-rats won't give his position away. ]
no subject
Naaaaah, who would hide in a closet? Fine, be that way. Mister Face will wander off to search other rooms with an apparently disappointed grunt.]
