[honestly thank god for gu yun because shi qingxuan probably wouldn't have made the connection between recalibration and the preservation of evidence and all of that... he's the one asking decent questions here. she's just like "we're supposed to share, should we share cyoa deets with the avatars too??"
she looks at gu yun for a moment at "myself included," then looks down. haha... that's still a complicated feeling. but she's quiet, mulling that over, listening to sloth's and pride's answers to their questions.]
Well - I do hope it stops being... annoying, for you, soon.
[and then she smiles]
Oh, I do plan to listen to Sloth! They've certainly never steered me wrong, they have great advice. Very reliable! [she is a sloth stan.]
[ someone here has to be a braincell and tragically... it is me. gu yun nods to the comment about sloth, focusing on it. ]
You all have been changing faster because we've been indulging, right? Every time I indulge in something prideful, it directly effects Pride, enough to change their physical features. [ with a nod of his head in their direction. ] I've seen it enough up close to keep stock of the changes, whether I could barely see last week or not. Is the relationship symbiotic, between you all, us, and the base as a whole?
[welp.] Aww, Pride! You and Shi Qingxuan are so darn nice to me! [and they promptly throw their arms around Pride's neck and shoulders to hug them! wow! but, like, briefly because it's pride, and they may get stabbed.
feathers just shoot out of the hood like sparkles.]
The base is just a base! It's like the House. It's like--a river! All of it flows down to us, and we're the collection pool at the end! All of it just makes us change a little.
If I insinuated you needed saving, you would likely stab me.
[ smh ]
What happens when we all achieve our desires or indulge however much we need? Do you all just wait for another round of people to agree to this song and dance?
[ with a soft huff, gu yun folds his arms. it's emotion week and i forgot, so, anyone will feel a sort of wry like-recognizing-like sense of fondness. ]
I'm sure. [ to pride, anyway. he imagines pride could out stubborn him, even, so. same aspect hat. ] But yes, I agree with meimei. Seems we've got at least a decent idea of how to do that.
[ and some indulgences are bigger than others, like they've learned. murder and fuckin. ]
Neither of you answered my question, though. What happens when we hit the finish line? Is that the end, or are more people brought to this place for the same deal?
sloth laughs like pride told a joke. pride isn't joking, but it's funny. the two of them here are literally the "someone will die" "of FUN!" meme.]
Pride's just homesick! Me, too! If you lose, I guess you're only losing a chance at the help to get what you want. Even that can be frustrating. But keep trying!

Listen to Sloth. They actually know what they're talking about this time. [don't be mean.]

they... tolerate it, at least? lord.]
The more there is, the more we change. [...] But you can't stop now. What we look like doesn't matter. We don't need saving or whatever nonsense.
no subject
[this sort of comes out in a mumble. she can't not be concerned, though - she glances between sloth and pride, and then looks to gu yun.
mmm...]
What do you need, then? Is it just for us to keep indulging...?

How do you all get home?
no subject
You guys came here to get what you need. You don't have to worry about us! We're fine. Just keep doing what you're doing!
It's really darn nice that you're worried about us getting home, though. Thanks!

...well - we'll certainly do that much, at least.
[she's still, like, worried. but it's hard to argue with them when they're both like this.]

[they glance at pride, and then sort of shrug their shoulders.]
Don't know! [haha.] We've never been Avatars before this. Maybe if you guys win, we win, huh? We all win!
[yay. they are so cheerful.]
no subject
We don't know what happens. [folds their arms.]
I can only hope it's the end. I'm sick of being here and I'm sick of all of you.
no subject
Ahaha, so straightforward. Well - we'll do our best to bring this to an end of some kind, then. I hope you'll be able to go home quickly.
no subject
[ he says this just because he knows it's annoying. terrible. ]
I rather like that answer. "We win, we all win." That's the outcome I want. I really, absolutely hate to lose anything.
