" Freddy's. "
[ A shrug. ]

[ mildly sympathetic shrug. mildly ]

it does that

" Nice knowing you. "

" I..
...
I don't even know what that means.
..Maybe? If you're feeling fritzy. "

" (Gh..)
(I /just/-) "
[ She blinks, rubbing at her eye with her free hand. ]
" ..What?
What, like- One of the backdoor ones? "

" ... "
[ Yeah, if anyone would willingly play Pirate Plunder.. ]
" ..Huh.
Didn't realize those things were even willing to listen.
Usually a little busy keeping them out. "

" ..Is /that/ what you've been doing?
Huh.
...
Respectable, I think. "

[ Sigh. ]

" You wouldn't believe it, Fitz.
And I /swear/ those things are even more riled up when I'm around..

..guess that's just the job, though. "

" ..Yeah. I guessed.
It's just-
Ugh.
Nightmare when there's so much else going on. "

" That thing's a /nightmare/.
You would not believe the amount of times it's snagged me. "

" Yeah.

Kinda like the endoskeleton does. "
[ ...
Shudder. Completely deadpanned. ]

" ...
Because that place hates us personally. "

" ..wouldn't recommend it. "
[ A sigh. ]
" Wouldn't recommend.. /most/ of that place. Glad it's so much less consistent a salvage spot. "

" ..I was moreso talking about, like.. the clowns. Or that weird Freddy. "

" ..the one he made for /more/ dangerous work? "

" ..You figured it out eventually. Points for that. "

honestly writing vanessa in my current state makes me realize that her and my mary are Noticeably similar and primarily split down the middle via mary's bitterness

would you believe me if i told you that's not even the loudest i've heard him before.

..yeah.

[ ..a little nod. not too much else that really has to be said. ]

maybe.
[ hands in her pockets. ]
but it's, uh. always been an adjustment.
location down in new harmony? the bosses are /always/ breathing down your neck.
..aaaand then you get over here.

...
that's basically the only time he calls.
[ sigh. ]
when he wants something.

𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘣, 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴!

[ holly. ]

" ...
Choosing to believe that's a good thing. "

" ..Maybe?
I guess there /is/ barely anyone down here half the time.. Not like anyone's enforcing it. "
