ohthehumanities | catchall; wolfwood

[ Grits my teeth. I won't suffer if Kaveh doesn't kiss him which you WON'T!! ]

I don't know. [ Unfortunately while I wish Wolfwood was easily scared, he really is not. ] Like... a second graveyard? But kinda worse.

[Well if you phrase it like that then I have to (I won't)(?)]

I didn't realize the shadow people even had bones...

[He is forcefully assuming that's where they came from because there is no other good alternative. Also, in the distance is the faint sound of something moving.]

Who said it had to be from shadow people?

'Sides. They're apparently real people, just on a different "frequency" or whatever.

[ He doesn't know the details nor the logistics of that but it's cool, it's fine. ]

[Help. Kaveh wrinkles his nose.]

I was going to say that there's too many of them to have anything to do with us. [Except he supposes they could be from past players too... disturbing... ] They look old, too.

Maybe they're just there for decoration then. C'mon, just staring at bones isn't gonna give either of us an answer.

[ Not unless they want to go full Cask of Amontillado up in here. What else is down here!! ]

[Well, luckily for their nosy asses, this is precisely when that sound of something moving in the distance comes back--closer, this time, enough to be noticeable.]

What's that?

[CONFIDENTLY and WEAPONLESSLY striding off down the path to go look]

Oi, idiot. Don't go wanderin' off into the dark, empty-handed, without even a damn light -- the week sapped you of your brainpower or what?

[ GET BACK HERE KAVEH. Trudging after him with his cross in tow, as usual, but also holding out his lighter. ]

I'll be fine! I've got plenty of healing left in case something happens.

[Dice Maiden says Kaveh gets no dignity and he trips shortly after saying this.]

[ Wow. Watches him eat shit, with confidence. ]

You know, even "plenty" of money is gonna run out if you spend pennies fast enough.

Ugh... this is your fault.

[DON'T JUST BLAME HIM.

I'll be nice enough to say he doesn't eat 100% shit though so he just brushes himself and huffs.]

I heard something down this way.

I definitely remember you pullin' my hand and dragging me down here.

[ He's raising a brow though. ]

Why the hell would you go towards the noise in a damn skeleton-filled cave?

I meant me ending up on the ground all the time! [He barely even remembers the dance floor one but SOMEBODY took pictures

Anyway he looks over his shoulder and raises an eyebrow, cocky.]

What, are you scared?

That's not my fault, what am I supposed to? Hold your hand all the time?

[ ??? ]

'Course not, I have common sense though.

It's definitely your fault! I have good balance, and you probably like watching me make a fool of myself.

[HURLS WILD ACCUSATIONS.]

If we can handle the lions in the Jonasseum, we can probably handle--

[Right on cue, one of their """friendly little""" horrific slug monsters oozed into view. Okay.]

Sounds like someone is lashing out. Not my fault if you can't walk straight.

[ SIR THIS ISN'T AN AA TRIAL YOU CAN'T JUST ACCUSE.

Wow. ]

Oh look at that. The hell is that?

[ Unfortunately Wolfwood is used to sandworms so this probably isn't that weird for him. ]

[Wolfwood said he should do whatever he wants so he's just listening to that? Damn (that's not what he said at all)

Kaveh jumps, but mostly because Genshin's enemies are fairly aesthetic even when they're freaky.]

Why is everything down here so ugly...

Is that really your problem with the entire thing?

[ It's sliming and possibly hostile, and that's your issue? ]

I'm just wondering! It's weird!

[RELAX... it's not even doing anything...

Just kidding it's noticing them. Damn it really doesn't look as friendly as the ponies were, huh.]

I don't suppose you brought a weapon, did you?

Not unless you count a giant cross I can bludgeon things with as a weapon.

And also a lighter, but we saw what happened the last time I tossed one and I really don't feel like spending another dollar for a third. Besides, Livio gave me this one.

[ So, let's back away? Well, he has his psych too, but surely Kaveh knows that. ]

I would have vouched for you if you'd needed it...

[He just wants to make sure Wolfwood knows that. I think about how he was allowed to check all three triguns as if he doesn't love them all to death. Terrible.

Anyway.]

To be honest, I thought it was your weapon... or a case for it, maybe. [He just assumed this, even though he really had no reason to. But sure, if Wolfwood's backing away, he'll follow to. Just turns his back on this giant slug like it's no big deal.] Should we head back to the hot springs?

[ I know Kaveh really has been assigned keeper of the Triguns. To be fair Wolfwood would have also allowed Netzach but for soem reason Netzach just passed him off to Kaveh so.

He shrugs though, when Kaveh makes that comment. ]

It ain't like anybody's asked.

[ LITERALLY NOBODY IN THIS GAME HAS ASKED ABOUT IT AT TRIAL IT HAS BEEn 6 WEEKS

The slug will remember this. This is why Kaveh fell into the pit on Wednesday. ]

Yeah sure, let's turn back.

[Netzach really said "I have one foot I'm not dealing with this tall asshole"]

I figured it was something personal. [He will turn back, then, so they can start wandering out of the hell tunnels, even though they will end up right back here in two days.

He's quiet for a moment, thinking, but it's confidence week so he doesn't waffle about it like he otherwise might have.] If I say I'm asking, will you tell me?

Maybe.

Depends on how you ask.

[ Let's get outta here before he uses up any more of his lighter fuel. ]

[Off they go!! He will lead the way again with Confidence but only by a small amount.

But, hmm. Well. He doesn't think he needs to ask where Wolfwood got it from, because he remembers seeing that memory--one of those that felt so terribly invasive, that he won't ask about unless it's absolutely critical for some reason. It's possible, of course, that that was something else, and what Wolfwood carries with him now is completely different--but Kaveh thinks it's unlikely, and he's not about to ask that anyway.

So, instead:]

What do you use it for?

It's the tool of my trade.

Is it so weird that a priest carries around a cross?

[ This is the spiel he gives every single person, but he looks at Kaveh like. Come on, man. You saw his secrets. ]
