[CINNABUN!! He will do everything in his power to protect this sweet bun okay.]
Haha, it's true - I'd rather avoid that. [HE LAUGHS BUT HE WANTS TO DIE. That's also a fair mood.] Probably because it isn't the sort of thing you get used to. Not really.

Hah. I don't think finding it normal necessarily means you'll find it any easier. Rather - hasn't that already been proven?
[He just huffs out a little laugh, even though it's wry.]
Hopefully the competition aspect will be eliminated soon enough, so no one has to worry about whose win will be more or less important than the rest.

Hm, hm... No idea why you'd think that!
[NONE AT ALL.]
[NONE AT ALL.]
[HE DOESN'T NEED MORE POWER HE ALREADY GOT MAGIC WISH LUNGS.]
Well! None of you are that kind of person, anyway. Lucky for us, mm? This could have been an even worse experience, haha.

Well, yeah. [She sounds tired, plucking a few blades of grass to feed them to her bunny.] Wen Ning and I are upset, too. Everything's been pretty severe. But Dick was Junpei's boyfriend. And he saw him take a frickin chainsaw to the chest. Of course we're going to fuss over him.
[There's a reason they pulled the beds together and squished Junpei between them. She glances at him, frowning.]
... You always act surprised when I worry about you guys. Dick was your friend, too, though. Are you okay?

...It really does feel - like we're actually getting somewhere. It does, doesn't it?
[He doesn't want to start moving too quickly. He doesn't want to get his hopes up. At around this time, their hosts started dying, back on the ship. Everything else unraveled so-- quickly.
He's not sure he could take having the thread pulled from his hands again. He's not sure any of them could.]

I don't think so? Being worried is natural, I think. [Especially for them, he thinks but does not say, considering they got fucked over so badly in the last 7 days.]
...Personally, I probably won't fully believe it until we walk out of here.

Hah - do I? [There's a little quirk of a grin.] Sorry, sorry. I'm not surprised - it's what I expect, by now.
[He was just pointing out that they all FUSS SO MUCH. They're an ouroboros of fussing. All of them upset and fussing over each other constantly... A Pile Of Fuss.
He nods at that, though!]
Mm, I am.
[He's calm now it's fine. He wasn't even upset about Dick's death so much as the fact that someone who asked the thots if they tried hard enough was the one who killed him.]

It does. [likewise, even with all of this, junpei doesn't want to give up hope because he's also remembering the same things. everything fell apart at breakneck speed...but neither of them are going to say that out loud, are they? if it's not voiced, maybe it won't happen again.]
...when we all get out of this and win, everyone should be revived. No more demons. [their friends will be rescued and their responsibilities will shift again.] What're you hoping to do next?

[THEY SURE AREN'T. Sometimes it's best to just not say anything and potentially bring a curse down upon your own head.]
--What am I hoping to do? Get back home and finish cleaning up the mess our dear Chief Cultivator has made, mostly. After I'm done there, figure out a way to visit you all, if we don't get anything like that here. [A little huff of a laugh follows.] What about you?

[That just has him laughing, and he reaches out to gently tug a tiny pinch of Junpei's hair.]
It's not about who's smart. Nothing wrong with being optimistic! Having a wide spread is important, don't you think?

I've got an apocalypse to stop, so nothing major. Pretty sure I can put in for some vacation time though whenever you manage to come by. [haha.] ...it would surprise me if we didn't find a way to see each other after this, but I really don't know yet.
[Junpei lets him get away with TOO MUCH.]
Haha, really? I don't know... Maybe the more optimists we have, the higher our chances of getting out of here will be? Combating resentful energy with positive energy or something.

Ah, nothing major, hm? Just another day in the life of Junpei. [Nodding sagely...] I'll come visit when you've saved the world, then.
[Though that reminds him:]
Mm, actually - I'm saving the book that I found in the last building I poked around in, but I wanted to see if you knew anything about the caveat? Supposedly, any idea I write in the blank line will become true, but not necessarily in the way expected...

Just another day. Guess I'll have to find our fanatic even faster then. I'd hate to keep you waiting.
[...but ah? that gets his attention and he blinks in surprise.] I don't exactly know how all of the items work, but I can probably give you an idea of what'll happen? Just based on the things I do know.

[me looking at their cr and just staring at the sky]
Do you think it's impossible? I don't know, I don't know - we might see a miracle yet!
