[HEY MODS CAN WE NERF PERIODS?????????? LORDT.]

You're onto something there, bud. Sour jellybeans are my favorite.

[Just saying. She will happily take the candy bar, though. She's gonna save it for later. For now, she has some questions. And a proposition, but that'll come later.]

So what's the point of us being here? Are we supposed to be tracking down all of these demons and shit, or what?

[notaquaman]

I mean, I guess so.

[He is absolutely going to make note of jellybeans. Get the lady! What she wants!]

Makes sense enough, don't it? Demons got let outta the book, gotta wrangle 'em all back in.

[polyapathy]

[Nathan is a GOOD BOY.]

Easy enough.

[It's not, but.]

And the people that came before us... They never managed to do that?

[notaquaman]

Never managed to leave, at least. Take that as you will.

[Obviously, if they're still fucking around in his gross ol' noggin, they don't have anywhere else to be.]

Here's to hopin' we don't go the same way, yeah?

[polyapathy]

[Obviously, because Katy is very familiar with how talking to dead people works!!!!!!!

That genuinely is kind of worrying, though.]

I'll say. What'd the last group screw up to get themselves stuck?

[notaquaman]

Fuck if I know. Easier said than done, getting a straight answer out of a bunch of dead sluts.

[It's such a pain, god.]

S'why we all gotta work together for the greater, hornier good or whatever.

[polyapathy]

[Okay, she can't help it. That gets a laugh.]

I'm all for working together. Do you have any idea what happened to start the in-fighting last time?

[It's sort of the same question just shifted slightly to the left, so she's not expecting an answer, but may as well ask.]

[notaquaman]

Would make a lot of things easier if I did.

[Nathan shrugs.]

I've got four of em with different opinions on basically everything, so even if I did know, I think they'd have each had a different perspective on the issue.

[polyapathy]

[She sighs. It's frustrating, yes, but it must be doubly so for him.]

So it's the four hosts from last time, is it?

[...Which, actually, that gives her a thought. She kicks at him lightly.]

Hey, do you see much of the other hosts? How are you all getting along?

[notaquaman]

Eh, not much. We keep each other up to date well enough but it's not like we're buddies.

[He's not gonna be coy about it.]

Carlos is the only one worth talking to of the bunch.

[polyapathy]

I'll say.

[Someone's still mad that she got cockblocked by a demon. But, anyway.]

I wonder if there's anything to that, the other last set of hosts not getting along. The four of you working together could be more important than we realize.

[notaquaman]

If that's the case? I hate to break it to you but we're all fucked.

[It isn't gonna happen. It really, really isn't.]

Might as well start planning the mass funeral!

[polyapathy]

[She sighs.]

What's the issue?

[notaquaman]

You mean besides the fact that Chuuya's a massive wanker and Polly's a psychopath that probably has teeth in her fanny?

[polyapathy]

[She can't help it, she laughs.]

Alright, alright. But the rest of us are counting on you, you know.

[The hosts as a unit, yes, but she's not talking to the other three right now. She tips her head, giving him a look that's a bit sad. He's in a shit position, that's for sure.]

So how do I help?

[notaquaman]

You want us to all trust each other.

[And it's a good idea. He wants it, even if he's been a bad example of it.]

I'd say you could get more people to talk to me, but there's fat chance of that happening. So...just try and get as many people talking as possible. It might take some effort, but...you're on the right track, you know?

[polyapathy]

I really do.

[She hops down off the counter, giving him the big eyes as she steps up to him.]

Thanks, Nathan. People around here ought to give you more credit.

[She leans up to kiss him on the cheek.]

But if they're set on giving you the cold shoulder, that's their loss. Can't say I'm disappointed to have you all to myself, though.
