FIRESTARTER: ok. 30 min

Demonspawn: I will be waiting.

[he's a little early, when he finally shows up, but--]

Not like you to request memories.

[ He's perched at the edge of the roof as usual, flipping through animal videos on whatever passes for Hell's youtube ]

Circumstances change, Jay.

Re: Day 202

[mind_blown]

Sure.

[he considers him.]

You told me to slow down. You sure you shouldn't?

Hasn't even been two weeks.

Re: Day 202

[iamverybadass]

I have questions that I want answered. It has been days since the last bad game, and I do not want to miss the window of a "good time" to take more of them.

Re: Day 202

[mind_blown]

...

Alright.

[he seems satisfied with that answer.]

Re: Day 202

[iamverybadass]

Okay.

[ Tabbing away from the videos to pull up the points shop ]

Are you going to take some too?

Re: Day 202

[mind_blown]

[he considers]

... Let's just get through yours first?

[he's had shit luck with memories]

1/2

[iamverybadass]

A sensible enough approach.

[ Finalizing the purchase in that case. The first of the memories he's purchased starts playing automatically ]

[iamverybadass]

[ WHAT ARE THOSE SHORTS ]

Why Garth?

[mind_blown]

Well, now I know what to call you when you're getting on my nerves.

[he says, highly amused.]

[iamverybadass]

Do so and it will be the last thing you say.

[mind_blown]

Tempting...

Not a bad memory, though.

[iamverybadass]

No... Some of them do have to be pleasant, just according to statistics.

[ And as he finishes speaking, the next memory plays out ]

[mind_blown]

... Huh.

[is that a positive memory? he glances at Talon, once it concludes, trying to get a read on him]

[iamverybadass]

[ He looks—shocked, mostly. There are flickers of fondness beneath it, but given he didn't know about any of this two seconds ago, it's a lot of shock and worry as all the unspoken context of the memory begins to sink in ]

... Do you...

[ Ugh. Takes a steadying breath ]

Do you think they're alright? While we're trapped here?

[mind_blown]

I don't know.

[he admits honestly.]

It could be they don't even know you're gone.

[iamverybadass]

I hope that they don't. I don't want them to be worried.

[mind_blown]

It's definitely possible. We don't know, otherwise.

[iamverybadass]

Mm... It's the scenario I'll have to hope for.

[ Glancing at his phone again while the last memory is buffering ]

... Talia was my mother's name.

[mind_blown]

... I don't need to tell you my opinion on your mom again, do I?

[iamverybadass]

No. I'll let you know if I ever need a reminder.

[mind_blown]

Good.

... You're gonna do another?

[iamverybadass]

Just one. I don't want to press my luck too far.
