[CHOKES AND SPLUTTERS]

[probe]

[oh my god.]

Um, White...? [you good my dude???]

[enfangs]

Ergh... I-I'm fine.

[he coughs, lightly punching his throat a few times.]

That, uh, just went down the wrong way.

[probe]

Uh huh. [they even sound like they're smirking.] Don't worry, I won't tell anybody you might actually care about them.

[instead they'll just tease him mercilessly, that's fine, too.]

[enfangs]

[SPLUTTERS AGAIN]

I-I never said that!

[probe]

[sadly, they just start cracking up? like straight-up giggling, white doesn't deserve this.]

[enfangs]

W-What!?

[probe]

Nothing! It's just kind of cute you get flustered about it. [is that what it is.] It's okay, Pride's like that, too.

[enfangs]

C-Cute? Ugh, you're making fun of me, aren't you...!?

[probe]

Not totally... [:3] I mean it though. Your secret's safe with me even if it's sort of silly.

[enfangs]

There is no secret.

[:T]

[probe]

[every time you use this icon i have to make sure it's not dave strider somehow. anyway.]

Right. No secret. [...they offer another cookie as atonement for their sins.] So what were we talking about again?

[there. white can save himself.]

[enfangs]

[i'm crying

he takes the cookie.]

Shit sucks. I'm guessing you can't tell me when this entire thing is suppose to end either?

[probe]

Sooner than later. [so it's not a definite answer, but.] There wouldn't really be a sense of winning if you could take all the time in the world, right? So, it'll end when there's enough indulgence to go around for what people want to accomplish. That's why you guys have to do it when you can.

[enfangs]

That's still vague as hell... Like, who's measuring this shit?

[probe]

Well...technically you guys are. It all depends on the stuff you want to accomplish. Some things require more indulgence than others in order to get you the power you need.

[enfangs]

[a scoff]

Well, shit. What's the scale we're looking at here, huh?

[where does trying to survive against a god causing the apocalypse fall on it...

fuck lucifer]

[probe]

On a scale of minuscule to astronomical? Prettttty huge. At least ten or maybe twenty times more than what you guys have already done this week.

[enfangs]

Shit. I know power never comes free and all that, but still, all this work sucks!

[probe]

Whiiiite. [are they whining a little? yeah.] Come on! You had to have known it'd take a little effort to get what you want out of this. No complaining!

[enfangs]

Look, I'll still do it, but I'm allowed to complain!

[probe]

Only a little! [so there.] What would you even do if you didn't have to work for it?

[enfangs]

[...

white pauses because honestly, good question? for all that white complains about work, it's not like he's ever known a time in his life without it.]

... Nap?

[probe]

That gets boring after a while. [they take this moment to steal a cookie and break it in half to munch on.] What about after the nap? You can't just sleep forever.

[enfangs]

... We're talking about in this place, right? ... Uh, play video games?
