sad bird in snow: Well, like I told Wednesday, I understand the idea sad bird in snow: But I think for avante as we are now, when faced with potentially dire circumstances, we'd always prefer to try and fight through them, you know? sad bird in snow: I think Kohime just doesn't really want to deal with anyone right now but the rest of avante's probably more amenable sad bird in snow: Cardinal's pissed but anyone could have guessed that, probably, and more at the state of things than at dying themselves
Cobalt: oh, no, you're always welcome here Cobalt: wednesday will probably be relieved to see you, too Cobalt: of all the people we could have hurt, she's very upset it happened to be you
Cobalt: just as long as you're not suppressing your anger for our sake Cobalt: it's not like YOU should be having to console US right now Cobalt: and i apologize on behalf of all of us if anyone's made you feel that way
Cobalt: as usual, people on this unit have a lot of very complicated feelings about games like this
sad bird in snow: At a certain point most of the options aren't good sad bird in snow: avante understands that. I know there's no malice or uncaring behind it sad bird in snow: I don't know what I wish people would have done sad bird in snow: But in some of those games there's no way to protect the rest of the unit, so I have to depend on others
sad bird in snow: And well... what can anyone do? sad bird in snow: We all have to live with each other sad bird in snow: You and Wednesday are friends of mine sad bird in snow: Yelling or arguing or calling for more blood or anything like that only feels worse sad bird in snow: And gifts sometimes feel like cold comfort sad bird in snow: Though if you brought Cardinal an essay they'd probably like that. That's their request on the list posted at our dorm.
sad bird in snow: Sorry this is all a lot of very maudlin talk sad bird in snow: It's not like I haven't killed plenty of people in games by my own hand and choice, after all.
Cobalt: you don't have to censor yourself on my account Cobalt: no judgement
Cobalt: anyway Cobalt: i'm not opposed to the idea of writing an essay Cobalt: but i also don't want to accidentally pour salt in the wound by trying to explain why we did what we did
Cobalt: i don't know what you guys have gone through, or your perspective, or how you prefer to be treated when it comes to this kind of thing Cobalt: though i would like to learn, if you (or cardinal?) have the energy to talk about it with me someday
sad bird in snow: I think I probably can talk about it sad bird in snow: It might be easier in person, I'm not sure. Cardinal I think probably always has the energy to talk about this kind of thing somehow. It's just who they are
Cobalt: haha, well, Cobalt: cardinal isn't answering my texts at all so maybe this time's the exception Cobalt: that's fine though, everyone needs rest sometimes
sad bird in snow: I think they don't really know what to say sad bird in snow: or do sad bird in snow: I'd be surprised if you didn't hear from them soon, though
Cobalt: one thing i have confidence in is that, if cardinal has something to say, they'll say it Cobalt: and they know where we live, so, Cobalt: i'm sure we'll figure it out.
Cobalt: in the meantime, i'm looking forward to having drinks with you

Re: DAY 251
Cobalt: how about you? how are you doing?
Re: DAY 251
sad bird in snow: sad?
sad bird in snow: I think I'm tired of dying
[ it's wild to not have a lowkey deathwish anymore ]
Re: DAY 251
Cobalt: i'm sorry you guys are having to deal with this sort of thing yet again
Re: DAY 251
sad bird in snow: Also, I'm sorry you got
sad bird in snow: bears????
sad bird in snow: because honestly that sounds awful.
Re: DAY 251
Cobalt: anyway, i'll let you get some rest
Cobalt: hit me up if you'd like to get drinks or talk about anything later
Re: DAY 251
sad bird in snow: I say that like I'm not drinking already
sad bird in snow: But let's have drinks later.
Re: DAY 251
Cobalt: i'd like that so much
Re: DAY 251
sad bird in snow: Unless the dorm would be a bad idea right now?
Re: DAY 251
Cobalt: wednesday will probably be relieved to see you, too
Cobalt: of all the people we could have hurt, she's very upset it happened to be you
Re: DAY 251
sad bird in snow: I hope it was at least a little reassuring that I'm not angry

Re: DAY 251
Cobalt: it really sucks to be let down
Cobalt: especially when (and i'm speaking for myself here) expectations are already so low
Re: DAY 251
sad bird in snow: We all have to live with each other
