[he raises an eyebrow, holding up a hand in a wave.]

You sure about that?

[probe]

[they wave back!

but then yawn slightly, by the sound of it.]

You bet! Rough day, huh?

[enfangs]

I mean, I wasn't the one who had to participate in the world's shittiest bounce house. [but he's seen his share of gruesome deaths, so he's not as bothered as he could be.] What the fuck was with that?

[probe]

Justice!

[when they shrug, it's small and somewhat helpless.]

It wasn't my idea! I don't even know what a "bounce house" is. I've never seen one in my life. I guess we were trying to make it as fair as possible.

[enfangs]

Well, I guess it was fair in that everyone involved was probably equal levels of "what the fuck is this shit" over it.

[probe]

It really is tough coming up with something when the guilty party is actually innocent!

[they sort of roll over just enough to take the pen and write something down on the scroll following behind them.]

Hmmm. "No... more... bounce houses..."! There.

[enfangs]

That's a start, I guess. So why Endorsi?

[probe]

Oh, don't think too much about it, White! We figured it was more even that way. You know! Beauregard and Endorsi are both pretty strong!

[enfangs]

Yeah, uh, kind of sucked to be Endorsi, though.

[probe]

I guess so, but if anyone could have done it without complaint, it would have been her, right? She's really, um!

You know, strong, and amazing, and stuff...!

[enfangs]

Careful, it's going to sound like you have a crush on her at that rate.

[probe]

Wh-What?! No way! No, no, no! She hasn't even talked to me at all!

[enfangs]

Do you want her to talk to you?

[probe]

Well, I, um--no, that's okay--I mean, it's fine really!

I'm use to no one really stopping by the chat back home unless it's the people coming through. I'm sure she'll talk to me when she has time!

[enfangs]

Wow. Sad. You can be more assertive, y'know?

[probe]

[SAD?! their shoulders droop.]

No, no, not me! Haha! I'm just the welcomer, and the list checker! There's no need for me to get bossy!

[enfangs]

Yeah, but you can always aim higher, right? Then again, you are Sloth...

[probe]

Yeah... I am fine where I am! The job I have is the perfect job for me!

You're the one with higher aims, White! You remind me of my brother and my friend back home, you know! He has a goal he just never gives up on!

[enfangs]

Yeah? How's that working out for him?

[probe]

Well... um, he hasn't given up yet! So there's that! I believe in him, even if I don't really understand why!

[enfangs]

... You don't understand why you believe in him?

[probe]

Oh, no, no! I just don't understand why he tries so hard to do what he does!

[enfangs]

You really can't understand at all?

[probe]

I don't know... The rules are that no one leaves, but he just keeps trying! Pretty strange when you just end up coming right back!

[enfangs]

... Um, are you trapped where you are?
