[SQX!!! they just watch her from the hood, arms folded over the bar.]

I sure hope not! What a silly way to go, huh? If you needed to relax, I could have helped with that!

[shiftingwinds]

It's less about relaxing and more about...

[...]

I don't know.

[probe]

[hm. they prop whatever face they have in the hood in one of their palms.]

Long day, huh? It was really hard to watch sometimes. You guys were so close! I can help you sleep later, if you want!

[shiftingwinds]

...were we actually close...? It felt like we were so far away...

[she came out of that trial with more questions than when she went into it]

[probe]

Believe it or not, yeah! You guys were smart, and then you were really dumb! It made my head hurt! But you did your best.

You were really out here not looking as closely as you could! Small things passed right under your noses! Maybe next time you should, like, get more people to help check!

[no one asked u, sloth]

[shiftingwinds]

...the injuries, then? Did... we miss something with the injuries?

[because only a few people were checking those..]

[probe]

[they sort of slowly kick their feet up and down behind them while floating.]

Can't say for sure. Gag orders, wow! But don't sweat it! There are a lot of you, you know! It's tough to check everyone. I should know! I have to check a whole lot of people who come in at my job!

[shiftingwinds]

...your job...

[...]

Could you teach me? Maybe it will help for next time.

[probe]

Um, maybe not that kind of checking, but... sure! You bet. Don't you want to, uh, get some rest first? It's been a long day!

[sqx, your depression drinking]

[shiftingwinds]

[FUCK GMAIL DIDN'T GIVE ME THIS NOTIF I'M SORRY]

...I don't think I should sleep right now. [she'd probably have nightmares about vore, THANKS TRIAL] But... I keep thinking, the things other people lost this week kept... changing. Maybe if I keep drinking, my tolerance will come back and I'll lose something else?

[probe]

[gmail is valid

also extremely funny no one will ever take sloth up on their offer for sleep. nothing will be more funny to me.]

You sure are going to drink the ol' god of wine right into the ground! Liver of steel! You should really take it easy, though. There are a lot of people here who care about you. I don't think they would want you to try to lose something else just so you could drink without the headache!

[shiftingwinds]

There's a god of wine? Ahaha, introduce me sometime.

[why,,,

but that does get her to. pause in her drinking, for a second, and she stares down at her drink.

okay that's one way to get her to stop.]

...I care about them too. I wonder if there's anything I can do to help them, or if this is just... going to continue as it has been.

[probe]

You bet.

[worst combination, or maybe best.]

Well, I always like it when you come to visit me, so maybe you should just visit them, too! You're just so darn nice when you do!

[shiftingwinds]

[i straight up just had a moment of dionysus is here too?? which avatar is he??]

Ahaha... now you're the one who's being really nice, Sloth.

[probe]

[stop don't bring that guy here, no]

Hey, it's true, you know. You really remind me of someone back home. You just always come back in, and you stop to say hello!

When you talk to a lot of people about themselves all the time, it sure is nice to be able to talk about yourself!

[shiftingwinds]

[she smiles at that.]

You have a point there! Sooo... have you gotten to talk about yourself much? Or have you mainly been listening to the others?

[probe]

O-Oh, um...! I... I... Well, haha!

[THEY GO QUIET IN EMBARRASSMENT A MOMENT]

Yeah! A lot more than I'm use to talking about myself!

[shiftingwinds]

Good!

[she's glad!! that means there are people who are curious about them.]

I'm happy that you've had people to talk with.
