wtfox | [seasonality] catchall for crow

[ sure did! maybe. cold steel is weird. but enough of that for a moment — they get a memory from Lila and—

Crow just starts laughing when it’s over and done with. ]

I can't believe an assassin is laughing at me.

Please, that was one off special just for that guy.

[ an asshole! ]

And to think people were crying about what a soft little teen you were and how you couldn’t handle shit back on campus.

Oh? He was that bad, huh?

[politicians. what can you do with them?]

...yeesh, is that really the impression people had of me? Sure, I'm younger than a lot of you, but that doesn't mean I can't handle things...

In my opinion? Yeah. I mean, personally? Not necessarily pure evil walking. But I had a personal vendetta against him, and his policies were running Erebonia into the dirt.

[ right? ]

Mmhmmm. Unless you forgot everyone trying to shield you from the first expulsion. I'll be honest, I could see it with Mabel? But... you're not that much younger than Taichi or Yamato.

I see... well, it kind of sounds like it worked out for the best then?

[she shrugs. this makes sense to her. why does killing someone for a personal vendetta make sense to her, she's fourteen. maybe she just means it's good that erebonia isn't being run into the dirt anymore?

anyway.]

Oh, yeah, I kinda forgot about that because I didn't think Mabel should have to see that either... [she wrinkles her nose] Actually, I don't think she should be at any of them? This whole thing seems like it's really affecting her...

Maybe. I'll keep you posted, if I ever actually get back home.

[ yeah. well. crow doesn't seem too bothered by her lack of ... concern. sometimes you leave home at 13 and found a liberation front a couple of years after that and it skews your perspective. it's fine. ]

She seems uh.... [ well. ] Quite innocent. All things considered. I guess she's a normal kid, more than anything.

[that sounds like a big if, unfortunately. lila is half expecting whoever is alive at the end of the school year to go home and for the rest of them to be stuck in this daycare forever because the bear just can't find the last key.]

...kinda strange that the rest of us are, like, not normal, don't you think? But she just... is?

[ uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. ]

Okay, she might be normal, but I will say some of the crap I think she's seen isn't? Like. Time travel kids trying to wipe her and her brother from existence? Kind of deal?

-- But she still seems pretty young in comparison?

...huh. If she's seen stuff like that, then why...?

[well. maybe rampant murder is different than time travelers trying to wipe her and dipper from existence. lila doesn't know.]

Buuut yeah, she really does. Honestly, I know no one's going to kill her, but I think she'd have an easier time of things if she was over here and didn't have to deal with it all the time...

Yeah, no one’s going to kill her. I think. It might depend on context and if she’s at risk? But I know it’s still unlikely.

— but also we’d be stuck here with her manic energy and while it’s fine for a bit it might double kill me eventually?

I think she'd liven the place up a little!

[

lwj would probably have an aneurysm though.]

It'd be nice if we could get her here without, like, making her go through dying. But if the only way to get here is to die, then...

[who's gonna kill the baby? no one.]

[ could you IMAGINE ]

... Maybe there is? I mean. The daycare and admin building have gotta actually exist on campus, right? Maybe it's just the construction process that's blocking it from people unless they've died.

Well, and the fact that it's locked, too. Even if the construction was finished, if there's no way through the doors, they're stuck out there and we're stuck in here.
