Peter's got that one if we fuckin' pay him for it. Can't say I trust a guy like that.

[ SAID THE MURDERING MURDERER WHO MURDERS ]

[ But anyway; he does want to be in on the action. He just doesn't want to rub asses with five more people to that end. It's already making his paranoia spike up, and he's perfectly aware it's worse than how it used to be before he's spent too much time here. "MN poisononing", was it? ]

[ He gives her a skew smile that he hopes is somewhat comforting (or at least vicious toward bunkers and not her. ]

Wouldn't miss the grand reveal. I'll be around. Just text me if you need company. [ And, just because this conversation isn't making him look like enough of an asshole for his taste all of the sudden; ] We've still gotta make out in front of your dad for great justice, don't we?

[ TEASING. probably. but isn't there a grain of truth in all the pokes ]

[ look how sweet and human and not-murdery-at-all he is! clearly anyone he's killed was in the wrong, right? ]

[phaseshifter]

Oh, he'll do it if he ever wants his freaking music player charged again. I'd like to see him find someone else who can --

[ oH GEEZ. Predictably, even the jokiest mention of makeouts turns her scarlet and has her immediately looking towards the closed door just in case Rhysish screams start coming from the other side of it.

When they still don't start after ten seconds or so, she relaxes. Just a bit. Tiny teeny lil babby weenie bit. ]

Dude. You can't want to watch Rhys' skull explode that much. You've seen one fountain of blood spurting from a guy's head and you've seen them all, you know.

[ There. At least she can sound normal, despite being a glowy red beacon of blushes?? ]

I might take you up on that, though. WAIT WAIT THE COMPANY THING not the making out in front of Jack thing.

[ nvm strike that ]

[sharktrash]

So you do have something to hold over him. Nice.

[ That's kind of adorable. Also dumb, but hey. He grins; he probably just forgot about noodle boy's well being there but there's no reason to announce that. ]

Right. Might be best to take him outta your friend's head first.

[ but the makeouts can totally happen then, right ]

[ excuse that little bit of hyena laughter. ]

Well, if you'd rather have both...

[ teasing ]

[phaseshifter]

Yuh-huh. And I'm ruthless enough to use it, too. Grr.

[ LOOK SHE'S BADASS AS FUCK. Her face drops a little at the mention of removing Jack, though. How to even explain that tangle of bullshit?? ]

And, uh, don't count on Jack ever getting uninstalled. Seriously not likely to happen. It requires the removal of all Rhys' cybernetics, and it - you know, it's kinda like killing the guy? And Rhys is kinda a big softie like that. Killing someone is different when you know them, right? Harder. So. It's pretty safe to say he's always gonna be --

 

 

[ hey guess who's suddenly hyper fucking aware that Jack isn't watching right now ]

-- uh. Watching.

[sharktrash]

[ oh hey does that mean its time for A KISS ]

[ just kidding ]



[ He does listen to all of that tangle of bullshit, and honestly it's pathetic but it's also not something he can't comprehend. He has some soft friends of his own. He doesn't quite understand that adversity to killing, but he knows about it. ]

[ This just sounds so shitty, though. Didn't Angel mention she wanted that guy dead before? Was this all on Rhys then? ]

That's ass. You're just gonna put up with [ vague gestures at everything ] that forever? Best decisions aren't always the easy ones. If you need someone else pulling the plug --

[ he would kill your holographic father for you babe so your best friend doesn't have to HOWEVER THAT WOULD EVEN WORK he probably sucks with cybernetics but its the thought that counts ]

[ or they could just pour coffee on the shiny hole in Rhys' head that would work too right ]

[phaseshifter]

[ DON'T TEMPT HER, TOOFS MCGEE. Except ok no there are more important things than that right now -- ]

No! No no no. Don't do that! It has to be his decision. Rhys'. I - I mean, don't get me wrong, that's. Weirdly touching, actually, but. Don't.

[ tmw you're getting gooey eyed over someone offering to murder your shitty AI dad

~*~just angel things~*~ ]

Living with it isn't even that bad. You get, uh. Used to the limitations?

[sharktrash]

[ ~*~ THIS COULD BE THE ONLY CHANCE THEY GET ~*~ ]

You shouldn't have to get used to it.

[ master of sweet talking right there isn't he. ]

Fine. Legally, though, it's your decision.

[ if they were in a hospital the opinion of a relative would matter over the opinion of a friend (???) and all that. ]

[ also it sounds like noodle boy is choosing his embarrassing crush over his alleged best friend's mental well being just saying :/ have you considered getting new friends ]

[phaseshifter]

[ C E A S E, ]

Well. Life isn't fair, is it? None of us should have to scuttle our way through a post-apocalyptic snowy ass-scape, but. Here we are. We deal with it, right?

[ Grateful smiles all up in here. LOOK AT HER DECISIONS GETTING RESPECTED

D-DOKI! ]

Plus still getting to piss Jack off in safe ways now and then is pretty fun.

[sharktrash]

[ THEY COULD ALL HORRIBLY DIE EXPLODING INTO SPIDERS IN A FEW DAYS. ]

No. That's why you make it fair. Or fairer.

[ Like, you know, by MURDERING THOSE THAT MAKE YOU MISERABLE. ]

[ oh no is he accidentally hitting off her kinks ]

I thought pissing him off makes noodle boy's head explode.

[phaseshifter]

[ SHIT WHERE DID SHE PUT HER CHAPSTICK SHIT FUCK ]

Easier said than done! And that's why I specified pissing him off safely. There're only a few things that make him mad enough to get Rhys hurt, liiiike...

[ She starts counting them off on her fingers. As you do. ]

...talking about me - er, doing the do, talking about me kissing someone, talking about me holding hands with someone in a non-platonic manner, annnnd he once got super steamed when he found out about me dying back home. I've died here since then, though, and I don't think Rhys suffered many ill effects.

[ How fucked up is THAT. ]

So everything else is fair game! I hug Beckett a lot, he hates that.

[sharktrash]

[ ROLLING HIS EYES JUST A BIT TBH ]

Not a very extensive list. [ But hey, if she's determined to make her life suck, there's only so much he can do. ] If you change your mind, let me know.

[phaseshifter]

Oh, I totally will! And if the non-AI version ever shows up again, you can feel free to fri-- fuck him up without checking first. Rhys has no say in what happens to that one.

[ What a generous offer. ]

 

 

...I can't believe I brought you in here to ask you to murder less, and now I'm saying that.

[sharktrash]

[ That's actually good to hear. And here he was thinking she'd given all that agency to Rhys. Go girl. ]

[ Also, he's laughing. It's short, but probably pretty loud, as his voice tends to be in general. ]

Hey, we all do what we're good at.

[ IS HE SAYING YOU'RE GOOD AT TELLING PEOPLE TO MURDER or just that he doesn't mind doing more of it... who knows. ]

But I'll keep that in mind. I owe you that much.

[ Not gonna forget all those days of you feeding and possibly peeing him that easily, no worries. ]

[phaseshifter]

What...? You don't owe me anything, don't be dumb!

[ She's genuinely surprised. And also fucking delighted about the laugh, even though it sets her off glancing towards the door again. You never know how a thing like that can be misinterpreted, okay. ]

I'm pretty sure anything I've done to help you out is something I volunteered for. And kinda bullied you into accepting, a little. I'm the worst.

[sharktrash]

[ Aaaand his gloved index finger's landing on her nose to playfully shove her off a little bit, more a pointed gesture than anything else. ]

I'll decide that.

[ Listen, you're all into him respecting your decisions, so why not let him be indebted if that makes him feel better. ]

And I'm better off for it. Even if I could've handled it myself.

[ Of course. Totally. ]

[phaseshifter]

[ Oh my fucking god even the fucking noseboop has her all flustered and giggly. Jesus fucking christ kill her now this is the worst. ]

Well. I mean, I guess there're worse things than having someone owe me a favour. But just a small one! A really, really tiny one. That will never get cashed in. I guess.

[sharktrash]

[ oh god she's into it so bad ]

That's better. And hey, it doesn't have to be murder.

[ Anything you need, darling. Within reason. Obviously. ]

[phaseshifter]

[ NO SHUT UP ]

It doesn't? Geez, but what other kind of favour is there?

[ Her turn to laugh now. PANDORA, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ]

[sharktrash]

[ okay but that's just perfect why is she so awesome ]

[ snerkkk ]

Hey, let me know if you figure one out.

[phaseshifter]

I'll. Definitely give it some thought. So your generous offer doesn't go to waste.

[ meaning she'll spend the next few days all like "omg what if I'd asked him to HOLD MY HAND how daring would THAT have been man I am so effing scandalous" and honestly can someone just throw her in the trash now please because she fucking sucks ]

[sharktrash]

[ haha have another kind of smile though it's probably how sharks look at their dinner but an attempt was made ]

Sounds good.

[ wHOA SO DARING that is a pretty dang big favor isn't it... she could totally ask for this yes but instead she's going to sleep in platonic robot shaped garbage ]

[phaseshifter]

[ Okay but Angel is totally okay with being eaten by sharks, tho. Which is not the kind of thought she's used to having and it's not a thought she should be having because Rhys and arghrggrg she's probably staring like some stupid dumb asshole isn't she. ]

...We should probably go back in there, huh. Before people start to - to get the wrong idea.

[ And she helpfully mimes a head exploding. Splortch. ]

[sharktrash]

[ how about being eaten out by sharks ayyy ]

[ Squalo thinks the pantomime is hella funny, but he'll fight the urge to mess up Angel's hair and sweater just so the wrong idea becomes especially easy to get. How mature of him. ]

Best try not to look all flustered, then.

[phaseshifter]

What? I don't look-- do I-- shoot!

[ She touches her own cheeks to test for blushing. The knowledge that she's flustered and Squalo knows it is, of course, making it a million times worse. WHY IS THIS HER LIFE NOW, ]

This is all your fault!

[sharktrash]

[ because she decided to doki at some dude's hair and then found out he's a murderer apparently ]

Hey! I didn't even do anything. That's all you.
