wtfox | [seasonality] catchall for bradley

[she nods, her expression growing more concerned as she sees that slight frown on his face.]

...yeah. I saw it. [...] Would you... prefer it if I pretended that I didn't?

What? No.

[As far as he's concerned this is basically like the bats showing off recorded bits of conversation. Just with a visual component too.]

This place is fuckin' weird about it, but what happens is what happens.

And turning to stone is just... something that happens, too?

[SIR?]

When a wizard dies their body becomes a mana stone.

[Gacha currency!]

...so that's why there was a rock after the trial.

[Blinks?!]

Only after trial? It should be immediate.

Yeah, not until after the trial. You still looked like, uh - [she gestures at him] - not a rock, so they were able to examine your injuries and stuff to try and figure out who killed you.

... That's fucking weird, but I guess they did figure something out.

Yeah....

[she glances in rupert's direction, wherever he happens to be in this daycare]

So--

[and then bam! memshare! god i hate the writing in this show.]

[ Bradley, looking at this lying and just. Internally in pain. Why does everybody he knows suck at lying so badly?

How did it work? ]

So?

[canon says it's ~very convincing~.]

So... I was going to ask, if you're not a rock right now, I guess that means we're not really dead? We were talking about this being the afterlife, but...

[ sometimes... Canon is wrong. ]

Y'know, I always thought death would be the end of it. So the fact we're still around in some fashion means we're chained to this place. Somehow.

[shoves canon into the seine. this is my character now.]

Better than just being gone, but... considering none of us wanted to be here in the first place, it's not very good.

Wonder if it's somethin' about being pulled into this place against our will. Won't let go 'til it thinks it's finished.

If that's the case, I'm going to find whatever pulled us here and kick its butt.

I'm gonna rip its limbs off.

That's a bit much...

[

but the part of her that's still salty about getting hit by a car during execution is smiling a little. luckily(?), that's being hidden by her hands.]
