On dying

[heartofsteel]

I really wanted to get that house. The one with the yard, you know, for Burton. I wonder if he really will grow to be as big as that one guy said?

...I guess I can't really be that mad at you. I already knew it was going to happen. No one lives forever.

[Liz really has no idea what to say to this. This day has just been emotional altogether, for all of them. She still can't bring herself to fully get close to Pollo, but she feels she should at least acknowledge what he's going through.]

[heartofsteel]

[...well. This is awkward. He's kinda glad she's here, but he feels terrible every time he so much as thinks about her now.]

...I don't think he's gonna get to hurt you again.

[punsofiron]

...I know.

We won't let him.

[heartofsteel]

I just feel like I should've been able to do something about it!

[punsofiron]

[She just frowns at that, shrugging sadly. She should have been able to stop Mechakara from hurting her in the first place, herself. But that's just not how the dice rolled. And circumstances just aren't in their favor now anyway. That's just how it is, and she knows nothing she can offer can make that any better.]

[heartofsteel]

[Yeah, he knows. He's pretty accustomed to being a plaything of fate and anybody with enough programming experience. It's just nice to vent a little.]

[punsofiron]

...

For what it's worth Pollo

I'm sorry.

[heartofsteel]

...thanks.

HEY DYING BUDDY SUP

[boinkboinkbonk]

Yeah...it's always sooner than you'd think.

[heartofsteel]

Yeah...

[Your situation isn't really all that different from his. It's just that the ravenous monster he's turning into is actually sapient.]

I wish I could've helped with the zombie thing. I would've been pretty good against them.
