Deflection. It's the tactic he turns to most often. The same thing as him pretending to only hear the least difficult question to answer. I'm sorry he resorted to it when you were trying to help.
no subject
i knowsome shit is just a yellow card
i dont care if he does it
i just care about bringing him into it
no subject
Understood.
Which would be a fine place to end it, if only he didn't have his own information to share. At least he knows teenagers generally prefer even exchanges?By the way, do you have any experience with cannibal ghosts? Or mirrors that eat people? Just curious.
no subject
thats the second time someones asked me about cannibal ghostsand yeah i had to pull dimitri out of one back when ghosts were dragging people into them
why?
no subject
Second time? I'm not sure that's a good record to have...
Hopefully Dimitri didn't try to step though it like Bash did. It was an apparently nasty sensation of nothingness. I thought you'd be the best person to tell. The cannibal ghosts are something Ava told me about. Well, just one of them. And it only ate Ebalon.
no subject
hasnt ebalon been dead for likesince last year?
no subject
Somebody found his body in the ocean and it was... repurposed. Really, I think he would have approved. He did blow himself up in the atrium back in October.
But yes. His body was retrieved and then it was accidentally fed to a ghost.
no subject
you know how one time i said we might be monkeys at a typewriter writing shakespeare or some shityeah i change my mind were just regular monkeys and were all gonna die
no subject
It can't be THAT bad, can it?
no subject
valdis was telling me that friday said if a ghost got out of the nothing it would completely entirely destroy the ship and everything on it forever no takebacksiesso honestly its worse
no subject
Oh.
Okay, so it is that bad. But that's fine. Who hasn't had to stop a world-ending catastrophe brought on by magical hubris? All we have to do is figure out HOW it will destroy the ship and then make it not do that. Simple.
no subject
wow you really dont even believe your own shit this time do youill do what i can if it happens and valdis says she can handle ghosts too but like
this is bad dude
just admit its bad
no subject
Literally the first thing I replied was "this is bad."
no subject
and then immediately afterwards you said 'this is fine'.dont bullshit me
i know you
and 'work out how it does the thing and then stop the thing' isnt a plan and doesnt reassure me
no subject
You are correct, it isn't a plan. It's a series of thoughts that will eventually coalesce into a plan. And we have until people start reporting mangled corpses on deck to figure out how to do that.
Ghosts aren't my forte, but I do have literally two centuries' worth of experience with cataclysmic magical catastrophes. I'll see what I can find out from the Captain and Friday, and we'll figure out a plan that may, with any luck, actually help us forward our goal of getting everyone out of here.
no subject
okayfine
[ There's that word he hates. But there's not much point in pushing it any further, is there? He's decided it's not her problem, so it isn't. ]
let me know how it goesno subject
I'm confused. You don't want to help? I thought ghosts were your particular forte? And this is possibly directly tied to the need for a new afterlife, isn't it?
no subject
i thought me helping was likeso obvious i didnt need to say it
no subject
Good. I have literally no idea what to do about ghosts other than, well. You know. Ignore them. Most of the time they can't do anything in my reality, unless they have a meatsuit to puppet.
no subject
if it comes down to it im going to have to eat itwhich means like
total obliteration
nothing left of it
so tell me how the talk with friday and the captain goes so we can start thinking of an actual plan that doesnt force me to have to do that
