the shrine then

[and they'll be there, with two cups of coffee. they'll hand him one, if he wants.]

[enfangs]

[he takes it!]

Hey. You doing okay?

[probe]

[a pause. they sip their coffee.]

Uh - yeah! Yep. Don't worry too much about me. [or the fact that they're dripping lava from under the hood. it never hits the ground or burns anything, but it's there.] Just a little overheated. What's up?

[enfangs]

A couple of things... and, uh, wow, this timing is probably pretty bad—but I was kind of wondering if I could see what you looked like? [a beat.] Not 'cause of the weird transformations or anything. Just... in general.

[probe]

Hah - yeah. No, it's okay, it might uh. It might be kind of difficult to see, right now? But I was planning on showing you today anyway. [she pushes back her hood! she's got all those body mods in that cheat sheet linked before, on top of the fact that she is half this and half her normal face. two-faced, haha.]

[enfangs]

[wow who is this






it occurs to white that he doesn't actually know what to say here, so.]

Well, 'least you can say you're hot in every sense of the word?

[probe]

[yeah idk who the fuck is it anyway she - laughs, at that? she's genuinely amused by it, and she reaches over to push his hair out of his eyes, affectionately.] Thanks, babe, that was pretty smooth.

[enfangs]

[oh he's a little flustered at that, but he grins.]

Hey, I'm always smooth.

[he and mineo spent 20 comments panicking over how to kiss each other]

[probe]

Yeah! Smooth as butter.

[frozen butter. anyway.] Thanks for not screaming!

[enfangs]

I've seen weirder shit! My Pentahorn form's sent people screaming before.

[a beat]

'Sides, if you ignore the part where it's involuntary and the horrible implications and stuff, it looks badass?

[probe]

[ok, see, this is why she loves white? she snortlaughs, like it's surprised out of her.]

Yeah! Right? Like, uh, body horror aside, it's pretty rad. [a pause.] I guess we can just be the, uh, the metaphorical weirder shit, then.

[sip of coffee.] Anyway. Face reveal, woo.

[enfangs]

[he nods, sipping at his own coffee.]

Just kinda weird talking to a hood after a while.

[probe]

Fair enough. I'm sensitive about the way I look! It's not you, it's me.

[...] But you have me now. And you're still one of my favorites.

[enfangs]

Good, 'cause you're one of my favourites too!

[...]

So, uh, I was gonna ask you about important stuff or whatever, but others are probably taking care of that and I'm bad at that kind of thing anyway. Anything you wanna do, if you're not too tired?

[probe]

[her lips twitch.]

That's sweet of you, but I can still answer your important questions if you want. You never know if you're going to get a different answer.

[enfangs]

If you say so... well then, here goes?

[a beat.]

So I guess... what are you thoughts on everything that's happening now?

[probe]

Uh, well. My thoughts are not great, and also, you guys are much better friends than any of us were.

[enfangs]

That bad during your round, huh?

[probe]

Sort of. I'll be honest, I don't think any of us could've managed a no-vote. Not that we had official trials like these, but you know.

[enfangs]

I'm still surprised we managed that. [...] Way back, Lust said Greed was the one who came up with the idea of having trials. Is that still the truth, or...?

[probe]

Yeah. Greed wanted something more... structured.

[enfangs]

How well did that work out, would you say?

[probe]

I don't know. I guess it sped up how many people died. [she rubs her face.] I think it helped in some ways, and harmed in others.

[enfangs]

... The executions were still a thing in your round, though, right? Just solo, unlike ours.

[probe]

They were, for sure, but - it was way more Wild West, you know? If we all thought one person did it, they'd just get roped into some shitty death.

[...] Like with Dean. You saw it.
