[ grace shrugs, staring at the sky for herself ]

I don't have any big questions to ask or anything. I said I was going to try to get to know more of you than just Greed, and Harrow recommended you, so I went with it. Maybe you're her favorite?

[ she's teasing someone who isn't even here ]

[probe]

[it's very pretty. there are lots of stars - though some of them blink in and out occasionally.]

I'm everybody's favorite! [wrath says, cheerfully.] Did you see how many people yelled at Vlad for me? I'm the best.

[alteracion]

To be fair, I think people would yell at Vlad over anything. [ you ever been so unpopular people nearly vote for you to die twice? hilarious. but she stretches out ] But I guess even with that you're pretty popular. Which seems a bit weird for someone who represents Wrath?

[probe]

Wow, rude. Don't be wrathist. I'm not angry and violent all the time.

[alteracion]

I'm just saying! That's the stereotype. I'm here to get to know you, remember?

[probe]

I guess.

Oof. It's been a while since I've done the get to know you game. What am I supposed to tell you, my favorite color? It's red.

[alteracion]

Was the last time you did it in kindergarten? Mine's purple. [ which makes greed being her symbol alright. ] Let's try something a little more interesting. Like... hobbies? Interests? Favorite stupid thing that happened here so far?

[probe]

[they blow a raspberry.]

Uhhh, cooking, I guess? My interests are completely annihilating Greed at DDR. [hmmm.] Favorite stupid thing is the steaks. The like, ninety two steaks? I was pissed but it was pretty hysterical.

Douman only speaking in like, wingdings was also pretty funny.

[alteracion]

Oh, I should try that. [ grace is good at ddr and loves to annoy greed, so. like. yeah. ]

It was funny, but also, kind of horrifying from this side of things. So what's a wingdings?

[ because of the conspiracy theories ]

[probe]

They're like, uh - like. You know, I don't know? They're things you type on a computer.

[shrug.] Also, if you challenge Greed to DDR, please invite me. I have to see them fail.

[alteracion]

So like... a font?

[ how do you speak in fonts, what the fuck. but also she grins ]

Deal. You think they'll say yes?

[probe]

Oh, good, you know what fonts are. I don't know who knows what things.

[as for the rest:] Probably not, but that's why you bully them a little? You know, like, uh - challenge their honor or something. They get flustered.

[alteracion]

I know, right? I've had to explain what a train is to like, five different people already.

[ trains!!! existed!!! before cars!!! everyone is OLD!!!! ]

Get them by the ego, got it. I'll make sure you get first row seats.

[probe]

Ha. I like you.

[...] Wait, really, there are people who don't know what trains are?

[alteracion]

[ just goes >:3 preen but then her face goes back to just bring tired? ]

Multiple of them. It's all "yes I'm a super special powerful being but also I've never traveled by anything that wasn't pulled by a horse". It's weird.

[probe]

Yeah, it's uh - it's an experience. You guys are all from wildly different places, it's crazy.

I haven't looked up any of your stuff, though, so all I know are the things on your profile.

[alteracion]

That's good. It's kind of creepy that you guys can "look up our stuff" at all. [ casually? she stretches out ] I was on a magic infinite train. But before that I'm just from normal Earth.

[probe]

That's why I kind of try to not do it, you know? I don't want to freak you guys out but sometimes I'm curious.

[a pause.] Okay, uh, explain the infinite train.

[alteracion]

It's a train to nowhere and it makes no stops. There's always new cars being built, and each one is pretty much its own little world, so. Infinite train.

[ shrugs? like it's? no big deal? ]

There's only a few passengers that are picked up by the train, but everything on the train is made for passengers. So we're special.

[probe]

[eh. makes sense to them.]

Oh, rad. So you're one of them, then? What's your world like? Your train car or whatever.

[alteracion]

I'm a passenger, I can go wherever I want. Because I've got opposable thumbs. Doors are hard to open without them.

[ this is a real plot point for trains. ]

[probe]

Is that - a real problem? A lack of opposable thumbs?

[alteracion]

Yeah. Most train denizens are... talking objects or animals or sentient water. Stuff like that. It depends on what their car is like.

[probe]

That's, uh. Weird.

Are there not a lot of humans that are worthy enough for the crazy train, or what?

[alteracion]

Nope. [ a beat ] Though, I don't know for sure how many people get on the train. It's huge.
