[doggonemad]

Yeah. Somethin' like that . . .

[ pushing a small pile of chopped veggies towards him. ]

Weren't so much my sins in this case.

[eonsadrift]

[ He scoops up the veggies to throw them into a pan. Might as well make fried rice tonight. He's keeping his tone as casual as possible this totally doesn't bother him at all. ]

...ah. Those are also unfortunately common to relive.

[doggonemad]

Nothin' a bottle of booze can't fix.

[ looks for other stuff to chop . . . ]

[eonsadrift]

Humans are so lucky...

[ He pushes some various scavenged greens for garnishes at him. Chop those. ]

[doggonemad]

[ chop chop chop. ]

Not really. I mean, it's humans that did this, right? We love fuckin' each other up for shits and giggles. Bullshit power plays.

[eonsadrift]

Immortals aren’t much better, honestly. All the time in the world makes you bored and cruel.

But at least you can drink to try and forget it for a little bit.

[doggonemad]

Yeah. That's kind of a blessin' an' a curse all wrapped up in one.

Think the moral of the story here is that people just suck. Humans, immortals . . . fuckin' assholes among both of 'em.

[eonsadrift]

“Everyone sucks”… what a wonderful moral to teach our household of impressionable teenagers.

…though I think most of them would end up agreeing with us.

[doggonemad]

An' that is why I went somewhere else for 'bout a day.

[eonsadrift]

Point taken.

The kids aren’t that weak, though.

[doggonemad]

Naw.

That ain't the only reason I went somewhere else though. Even if they ain't weak, that shit ain't somethin' they should hafta deal with.

[eonsadrift]

What are you going to do if a ritual displays it front and center for the rest of Clover to see?

[doggonemad]

That's a problem for future Hannya.

[eonsadrift]

Maybe you’ll get lucky. They haven’t shown the worst of my tortures yet.

[doggonemad]

We could make, like, a pact or some shit. If this place shows that nonsense, we run interference for each other.

[eonsadrift]

Eh. It might be too late for me to try and hide any of that.

…and I know what you think, but trying to hide it in a ritual is going to upset them more than trusting them to understand and not pry too hard.

[doggonemad]

Stop bein' so goddamn right.

[eonsadrift]

I can’t help it. I always know what I’m doing.

[doggonemad]

Heh! Now yer just fulla shit.

[eonsadrift]

Are you sure? I haven’t been wrong yet.

[doggonemad]

I'm gonna ask the girls about that.

[eonsadrift]

Go ahead. They'll agree.

[doggonemad]

We'll see!
