It's a good place to hide things.

[ ... ] As much as you joke about me stereotyping you with weapons, I do know there's more to it than that. Example: I can probably figure why I'm here, if you took personality traits into account when shuffling us around into these little groups.


... Of course, if you did just pick me because I'm pretty, I understand that too.

[probe]

Well. Part of it is because you are very pretty, for sure. [wink. you can't see it but they did.] Personality traits were taken into account, yes.

Like I said. You're an angry boy. I uh - [they make an amused sound.] I fuck with that.

[aubins]

[ maybe he can sense the wink. the energy of the wink. ] So, sparkly personality as well as the good looks landed me here. Understandable.

[ hilarious. but wrath will get a wink in return. ]

Angry when it matters, I like to think. How many of us are there? I mean, I've tried looking out for all the marks I can but I've not spoken to every single person here yet.

[probe]

[they reach to pat him on the cheek. their hands are very warm, and covered in glowing cracks that look like lava.]

Me too, bud. [as for the last part:] There are five of you. One of me. Do you want me to just tell you who else is Wrath aligned? Not as if it matters.

[aubins]

[ cozy. he'll allow it. ]

Sure. I've already chatted with Endorsi, and I could take a wild guess at which group some of the people here are in but... better to know than not, right?

[probe]

[they count off on their fingers.]

Endorsi is one, yes. Love that girl. You, HK-47, Primrose, and White. Not a bad combination of people!

-- Well. Mostly. I think HK-47 and literally anybody is a bad combination.

[aubins]

[ ohhh. ]

Primrose, huh? Somehow I'm suprised and not surprised all at once. [ silk hiding steel comes to mind. ]

... HK-47's the, uh. Charming metal man, correct?

[probe]

The charming one that broke the elevator? Yep. That's him.

[don't just DOXX HIM.]

[aubins]

[ ... ah. ]

So that's how you got stuck, huh?

[probe]

Sure is! Asshole!

[... their feet burst into flames? it's probably fine.]

[aubins]

[ okay flamey feets, the message is loud and clear. ]

... I feel like I already know the answer, but accidental or on purpose...?

[probe]

[ANGY]

No idea! Don't care! [something twitches inside their hood.]

[aubins]

[ twitchy.... ]

Well. At least you made it out of there in one piece.

[ you... you did pick the bot for your team, wrath. ]

[probe]

It's a good thing it was the four of us! If I had to spend hours in an elevator with Despair I would have exploded!

[aubins]

[ ... pfffft. ]

Not a fan?

[probe]

Have you met them?

[flaily hand gesture.]

[aubins]

Very briefly. Fond of calling us "meatbags", isn't he? The metal man, I mean.

[probe]

[stop your wrath mod is bad at reading comprehension]

I am the opposite of a meatbag! That's why it's stupid!

[aubins]

[ hm! ]

What would you choose as a demeaning nickname, then? Meatbag fits me pretty well, loathe as I am to admit it.

[probe]

I don't know, something having to do with bones, probably. Bonebag?

[aubins]

All of us have bones too? [ gee wrath, who let you have a special derogatory nickname? ]

Then again what do I know. You're hiding away under all that material, after all.

[probe]

I have more bones. [stop.]

Guess what's under here! I dare you.

[aubins]

[ huh. ]

Well, I've seen your feet. So. More fire?

[probe]

What a boring answer. [they honk his nose.]

[aubins]

[ he goes slightly cross eyed ]

Sorry, was I suppose to guess a rippling eight pack?
