[probe]

yeah, for sure, for sure! be right there

[and not too long after that, wrath can be found in the music room, playing absent scales on the violin. they seem pleased to see harrow when she walks in.]

Hey, boo.

[bonetiddies]

Hello.

[She. . . will just get a chair to sit down.]

[probe]

Okay, okay, look, I have to ask. And then I'll leave it, but.

Are you doing okay? [they sound worried...]

[bonetiddies]

[Wrath this was exactly the situation she didn't want. But it's been a few days, and the world didn't even when she was a little bit vulnerable a couple times, so she's feeling more equipped to handle it. She frowns.]

I'm all right. What happened was extremely. . . ugly. But there's so much else happening, that it all. . .

[The fact that she's a little not okay doesn't mean there won't still be a murder on Friday and a trial on Saturday.]

[probe]

[they can't help it. but to their credit, maybe, they nod a bit.]

Okay. You're strong, so uh, I believe you. [...] So what did you think about today?

[bonetiddies]

[It's fine. She's not not here to talk about some of that, but she wants to ease into it.]

. . . We spent about four hours trying to decide if Kaz was turned into a Toblerone.

[probe]

[they giggle, and then bring a hand up to their mouth.]

-- Sorry, sorry, it's just real fuckin' dumb.

[bonetiddies]

It was.

[She never liked the Toblerone theory! But then she started to get hysterical the more they kept appearing and everyone kept talking about eating him.]

. . . What's going to happen tomorrow? HK-47 is not going to go easily.

[probe]

Iiii don't know. I mean, you're right. He's not going to go easily.

I figure it might be something similar to what happened last time? But I really can't tell you for sure. This part's new.

[bonetiddies]

I never asked. Whose idea was the bounce house?

[Because she likes all of her Avatars with certain exceptions, but the bounce house wasn't exactly Gluttony's aesthetic.]

It was cruel.

[probe]

No, I agree with you. It was cruel.

[they say, and it's like - way more serious than usual.]

It wasn't really any of our ideas. It just... happened.

[bonetiddies]

It. . . would have been disconcerting to me, to think you had devised that. But it is also disconcerting to imagine it could come to be without your input.

Why did it take that form?

[probe]

That I wish I could tell you, but I really don't know. Maybe because of the sock'em boppers? That's honestly my best guess.

I know it picked Endorsi because she'd be the best match for Beauregard.

[bonetiddies]

That's what I've heard. But then I wonder who is the best match for HK-47?

[probe]

Hooo boy. I don't know, who is good enough to go against the murderbot, huh?

[they rub at their face, under the hood.] This one I'm gonna worry through.

[bonetiddies]

Give me back my necromancy. I'll do it cleanly.

[She doesn't really think Wrath is going to go for this, she's just saying. It's a problem with an answer, and the answer is bones.]

[probe]

[a little laugh.]

I know you would. If I could, I would.

[bonetiddies]

It really is can't? Not a matter of a fair playing field, but. . . something else?

[probe]

It is just a can't, Harrowhark. Don't overthink it.

[bonetiddies]

Oh, very well. You know, I shall be very cross if I ever come to learn that there isn't some grander purpose behind these vague pronouncements. But I will accept it for now.

[probe]

You'd uh, you'd be well within your right!

[a pause. they start idly playing, though it's kind of just something to do. they'll stop if harrow has something to say.]

[bonetiddies]

[Well, she isn't about to interrupt this. She'll sit listening to the song - lovely as always, calming her a little, making her feel a little melancholy. When they're (they, because this song isn't a specific reference or anything) done, she's quiet for a moment.]

. . .Oh. The polaroids. We found items we think may belong to some of you.

[She'll show them the picture of the crystal, cat toy, bear, and dagger?]

[probe]

[haha, yeah, what? just picked a random violin song]

Lemme see. [... they actually put the violin down.] -- Oh, shit, yeah, those do belong to us. It's kind of obvious if you think about which one might belong to which?

Like, uh, who do you know that has crystals? Cats? Who is the most likely to like cute stuffed animals? Who is the most likely to use a dagger?

... You just found these?

[bonetiddies]

We found them in the place we were transported to.

[. . .]

I suspect the cat toy is Gluttony's, but I don't see why I ought to run errands for them. The crystal I thought might belong to Despair? [The rest of these. . . she's not so sure about.] None are yours?

[probe]

You're pretty good at guessing!

None of them are mine, but uh, like. You really can't think of who would use a dagger? [they sound kind of amused.] The stuffed animal thing is kind of hard, I guess.
