You really have no idea what you're doing, do you?

... Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'll take care of it, alright? I was gonna get out-- eventually, anyway. Stop fighting it and let me do my thing.

[badfall]

Don't get lost on the way.

[badplan]

You gonna draw me a map?

[badfall]

Follow your nose. As far away from the scent of blood as you can go. Easy as that.

Unless you need a blood trail to follow. I can do that.

[badplan]

Pass!

[badplan]

... what's it like?

[badfall]

Boring. The sun's bright enough to burn, we don't heal like we should.

But she's not there, and the food's a lot better than the mush we're given.

[badplan]

Huh. I dunno, Heine, that all sounds pretty not-boring to me. Even the burning.

[badfall]

Definitely boring. You'll be vomiting for days.

[badbite]

( !!!!!! )

Arthur! Arthur, Arthur, Arthur Arthur Arthur!!!

[badplan]

[ oh, was this something new? he could play along. ]

Lily, Lily, Lily...!

[ close enough. ]

[badbite]

Arthur, are you coming to see us? Are you going to come outside? ( tilting her head up, a hand reaching out to tug at his shirt, ) It's so bright out, Arthur! And there are flowers! And it's colorful and there are clouds and rainbows! And, and there's a lot of people different from us and they don't have collars and they don't regrow limbs—but I can't either anymore!

[badplan]

Yeah, I think so. [ reaches out to muss up her hair at that tug ] You'll show them all to me when I get there, right? I'm counting on ya', Lily.

[badbite]

Uh huh! ( her grin stretches her face, would hurt her cheeks if she cared to pay attention to that, ) I will! I'll show you everything, and then we can have pizza! Pizza's reaaally tasty, Arthur, even though it hurts a little to eat it, it doesn't even hurt a lot anymore!

[badspine]

It's b-better here.

[badplan]

So I hear... I bet you threw up a lot though, huh? [ g r i n ]

[badspine]

I didn't...

[...he did : {]

[badplan]

I can tell when you're lying, Giovanni. I've got lie-sensors.

[ not really, he just knows the kid enough. oops. ]

[badspine]

You're just saying that...

[but he sounds uncertain and he's biting his lip, just a little]

H-Heine threw up, too.

[badplan]

It's okay, it's normal. [ apparently? maybe? he wouldn't know, he'd just been glad to hear he was safe and wanted to tease him a little. ]

What's your favorite part?

[badbreak]

Another one'a Lily's brothers, huh?

[badplan]

How'd you know? Has Lily been talking about how cool I am?

[badbreak]

Nah, she named a smelly dog that poops on the floor all the time after ya.

[badplan]

Hey! Heine said it was a furry dog!

[badbreak]

Yah, the smell comes from the fur.

An' the poop on the floor.

[badplan]

Oh.

[ dog fur smells (bad? just a smell? huh), got it. ]

I think you're supposed to clean it up.
