week 3, sunday w/ steph

[alchemenace]

[ SO I ASSUME SHE'S IN HER ROOM OR SMT. but Varian is going to go see Steph to reassure himself that she is not dead.

and then he's going to awkwardly stare at her because what the fuck does he even say. stares at lack of leg. ]

It. Does it hurt a lot?

[ perfect nailed it absolutely what he wanted to say why did he even bother coming here ]

Comments

[vigilantics]

Uh, to be fair, I think I have more right than anyone else to say that?

[ since she is missing a limb. ]

... like what?

[alchemenace]

[ that gives her the least amount of rights, but he decides not to say that. ]

Well, if I had access to my welding tools, it would be better, but I should at least be able to make you a makeshift leg so you can walk around. [ a beat ] And it won't have a hook.

[ he doesn't understand that trend. ]

[vigilantics]

[ she has many things to ask, but, ]

The... leg has a hook?

[alchemenace]

I try not to question the thugs of Corona.

[ just. in general. ]

[vigilantics]

I... see.

No hook.

[alchemenace]

No hook. Promise. I couldn't even make one if I wanted to.

[ because this place is hellish ]

[vigilantics]

In that case, let me know what I can do to help.

[alchemenace]

Don't get injured any worse? [ it's. it's a big one. ] Um, I'll have to do a couple of fittings for measuring things properly anyway, so. Participating in that, mostly.

[vigilantics]

Listen, if I get injured again it's because someone else attacked me.

[ she can't go wandering into any death fields like this. ]

[alchemenace]

Then that's about all I'd need you to do. You, um, luckily they didn't cut off above the knee, because I'd definitely need to weld something to make a proper joint and then you have to attach to nerves and-- and you get it.

[vigilantics]

Oh... yikes.

[alchemenace]

But you're fine! I mean, obviously not fine fine, but-- it's below the joint, so. Waaay easier.

[vigilantics]

Should I send Tiger a thank you card for making my amputation more convenient?

[alchemenace]

No, she's awful.

[vigilantics]

[ that makes her snort. ]

I've noticed.

[alchemenace]

Before or after she cut your leg off for breaking a rule?

[vigilantics]

I had my suspicions before, but that definitely confirmed the theory.

[alchemenace]

It really solidified mine too.

[vigilantics]

Just... try not to get on her bad side.

[ and then on tuesday people immediately get on her bad side. ]

[alchemenace]

You say that like she has a good side.

[vigilantics]

Her good side is when she's not maiming people.

[alchemenace]

I, um, feel like that's aiming pretty low.

[vigilantics]

This is optimism at work, dude.

[alchemenace]

It... doesn't sound like optimism?

[vigilantics]

It... can be?

[ leave her alone she just lost a leg ]
