On imminent and temporary character death @poly_chromatic

[charring]

I can't believe you're actually going to go through with this. Really? Really?! I'm sorry but what's wrong with you?

I don't want to die via gorgon in the desert rescuing, of all people, Ed. Ken, I'm fine with. I adore Ken. Ken is family.

Ed tried to kill me three times. What are you doing?

[...]

Well, that's a bullshit reason to kill me off. CR development? Really? God, I hate you.

Family?

[oceantrauma]

You really think of me that way? I'm not at all sorry I went to the desert for you, now.

[oceantrauma]

Wait! No!

She can't just...off you for something like that! We're supposed to go to safety together!

[charring]

I know. I know. And you'll still get there. I guarantee it.

And yeah. Of course you're family. What else would you be?

[oceantrauma]

No! We're supposed to ALL go! All of us!

...I don't know. Just someone you met there? I'm still getting accustomed to the idea of friends, let alone of those unrelated who might call you family.

[charring]

Apparently, I come back at some point? She says it's not permanent but what she fails to realize is I am still dying. Temporary or not. This blows.

You're family. You're the little brother I never had. It's an idea I'm getting used to, as well.

[oceantrauma]

But that doesn't change the fact you'll suffer first! It's still a horrible thing to do.

....

Then she can't do this! Especially not then! I already lost my brother. I don't want to lose you, too. Not even temporarily!

[charring]

I owe you weeks worth of Battleship. And I'll be fine in a couple days. I'll find you first when I come back. Promise.

[oceantrauma]

[Not happy.]

I'll be relieved when you're back. But that doesn't change the fact she's doing this.
