I ... wasn't aware anything was going on.

Besides, I would simply have brought down the mood.

[ awkwardly existing, like she is right now. why didn't she pick literally anywhere else to curfew. ]

[personal profile] stillnot 2020-11-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Really...? I'll let you know next time something happens. Hunt you down for it.

[ clem shakes her head. ]

I thought I would too, but it was fine. And you can always just leave early if you don't have a good time.
horologia: (↺ heading for the place)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
... my having a good time or not is not, and should not be a matter of concern.

[ no problems detected. ]
stillnot: (pic#14286967)

[personal profile] stillnot 2020-11-06 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Theeen I won't tell you after all.

[ homura is valid and clem respects that decision. sincerely. ]
horologia: (↺ supposed to be missing)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Tell me anyway. At least then whether or not I come is my decision.

... I just simply do not see what I'd be able to contribute to that sort of gathering.

[personal profile] stillnot 2020-11-06 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to contribute anything. It's just people hanging out.
horologia: (↺ gently now come close)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Which entails conversation, does it not? And I was under the impression that those involved give and take.

[ give is a synonym for contribute, nods.

the salamander acting as a choker around her throat curls a little. ]

Yeah, but... You're doing that right now?
horologia: (↺ only our hearts know)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
... Is this conversation.
horologia: (↺ the prayers that forgive you)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Let me rephrase.

Is this a conversation we would be having if we were not locked in a single space together.
stillnot: (pic#14287048)

[personal profile] stillnot 2020-11-06 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Does that matter...?
horologia: (↺ sadness lingers in this place)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
It matters in that it marks the difference between something you would choose to do freely because you want to, and something you're doing because there's nothing else to do.

[personal profile] stillnot 2020-11-06 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
I've enjoyed a lot of the stuff I only did here because there was nothing else to do. Other people will, to.
horologia: (↺ and flies away)

[ are the amounts of dubious unsure doubt in this icon enough of an answer for this tag, or.

the salamander's gone, it's replaced by ... a mouse, ducking into her pocket. ]
stillnot: (pic#14286986)

[personal profile] stillnot 2020-11-06 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
... You don't have to.
horologia: (↺ i can believe in the strongest)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
... It isn't about what I do or don't get out of this.
stillnot: (pic#14287047)

[personal profile] stillnot 2020-11-06 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm telling you that it's nice talking to you? So you don't need to worry about what other people do or don't get out of it, either.

You can just hang out and talk without owing anyone shit, anyway. Fun or not.
horologia: (↺ the world is waiting for you)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ goddammit the expression i want is stuck in with the icons i can no longer use.

so instead. ]


... You would be one of a small number in believing that, I think.

[ that's just fact, not a pity party or anything of the sort. if she were someone else, like taako maybe, she might question clem's taste in conversation partners. alas she is not, so.

she is not going to comment on the second part of that just yet. ]
stillnot: (pic#14286767)

[personal profile] stillnot 2020-11-06 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ clem just shrugs!

and then grimaces because she has a stab wound and shouldn't do that without thinking. ]
horologia: (↺ this falling star had)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ see this is the part of the conversation where she'd exit stage left

you know, if she could. ]


... that's all already taken care of, correct?

[ because the knight's outfit comes with a rucksack, and half this stuff she's stolen from the first aid station is collecting dust. story of her life, really. ]
stillnot: (pic#14286894)

[personal profile] stillnot 2020-11-06 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. All patched up already. Just have to do the healing part, now.

[ which is a lengthy process... ]

... Thanks, though.
horologia: (↺ towards the true ending)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
No need to offer thanks.

[ no point either, really. this is bare minimum stuff? ]
horologia: (↺ open up a new page)

[personal profile] horologia 2020-11-06 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ just sighs heavily. are you really a zombie apocalypse survivor.

maybe the world is less prone to selfish anarchy post apocalyptic conditions than expected, who knows. but honestly from what she knows of magical girl politics she doubts that somehow. ]
