[He's as much reassuring himself as she is..]

That's what I wanna think. I don't.. want them t'know I'm here. At first I did, so they could see how well I was doin' on my own, but now? I really don't want them to see here. It'd just worry 'em an' somea the decisions I've been makin', I want 'em to know I'm capable've makin' that sorta decision but at the same time, too much too soon, y'know?

Pretty much. I don't think anyone got any that made any sense. Someone had one that said his tin roof was rusting.

[Zell, most of that shouldn't have made any sense at all.

It did to her.]

I - know. We're still us, it's just - too much too soon. [It's the best response.] I don't want them to know I'm here and they're there either. Some of them wouldn't take it well.

Rusting.





Have you tried breaking your PCD and waiting for a new one to show up?

I hope so.. I usually feel pretty confident about this kinda thing, I mean at the base've it all I'm a mercenary.. but like.. with the hunt. Each've my friends who were on a team. I tried whatever I could t'keep 'em from gettin' in the bottom percentile. When do we slip into that point've no return where we're still us but not the same?

[He's had a lot on his mind, and he can't help but wonder if Tifa's having that problem too.]

We're never the same, Zell. Every day we change. That's the point. That's okay. Whatever we turn into here, that's just going where we need to go. [She can say it because - ] I trust who you are at your core. That never changes. We change around it but - we're still us even if we're not the us we once were. Whoever you become while you're here, even some of the dark parts, it's who you are at your core that will keep those changes good things. I trust you. You'll be who you are no matter who you become.

[...

says the girl that followed someone with a borrowed personality halfway around the world...]

We can do that?

Yeah, during an event. The Animus trapped a bunch of us in the mall and told us we had to kill each other, and a lot of people did it.

It seems to work.  I got mine smashed in a monster fight a while back and a new one was waiting for me when I got home.

I guess this place likes us keeping in touch.

A new one would fix whatever was broken with the old, wouldn't it?

oh...

I remember that. I'd just gotten here. A few of us tried to get inside to everyone but -

...what did you lose?

Well, if you hear from me for a few days, then you'll know I wrecked it. Yeah, it makes sense.

I don't know. I still haven't figured it out, so it was probably a memory.

That must be - frustrating. I'm sorry. Is there any way to get what you've lost back?

Guess we can only hope we don't go tooo dark. I swear if I wake up one day an' I'm snappin' necks t'prove dominance or somethin' I'm gonna seriously rethink somea my life decisions.

Gimme a good whack if I go too far down the spiral alright?

Nope. I don't think anyone's ever gotten a death price back. If they have, they kept it secret.

[Tifa won't say that's horrible because it's not as if she actually has to tell the other girl what Vriska already knows much better than she does. She still feels the gut punch of it though and so she goes quiet for a long moment. She can't help Vriska with her lost price, and it breaks her heart a little especially since the other girl is being so stoic about it, but maybe there's still time for - ]

Maybe... it will be something we can give him back. Something we know or could help him with instead. [A firm nod.] Even if it isn't, he'll still be Zell. That won't change.

[there's a muted sound of amusement.]

Never going to happen, Zell. You're a good person all the way to your bones.

But I will whack you if you seem to need it and you do the same for me. We're a team.

Yeah.

[she shakes her head]

Let's not talk about it.

You should hang out with Zell a lot.

[Tifa's really good at the 'ignore it and maybe it will go away' routine but even if she wasn't, Vriska's right. There's nothing they can do until it happens. So she'll nod back in response.]

Mm. You're right. Let's find Zell first.

(ooc. good place to wrap it up?)

[well that's - kind of out of the blue. Tifa's going to take a moment to blink at her screen in puzzlement before she answers.]

Why do you say that?

I'm just telling you to do it since you're his friend.

all right. I'll do my best. Is something wrong?

But Tifa, I could potentially have the most evil bones in existence an'theyre just kept in check by my good-saturated flesh. [Shrugging, then realizing ot was set to Voice..] It could be like the old legends!

[Team. Four simple letters, one simple word. The joy it brought to hear though.. Zell smiles wide on the other side of the line. They may be separated by different worlds or dimensions or what have you, but the camaraderie was beautiful. There were certain people in Adstring who's presemce he'd found had him feeling like he wasn't so alone, even if he had come in with no one. He breathes out a short chuckle.]

If you go all crazy, there won't be a safe place to hide from a good whack.. or at least a really stern talkin' to.

Tifa? I'm confused about life and girls.
