Yeah... I know.

[She frowns.]

But, I mean - I knew it wasn't going to be easy.

[unpredicktable]

There's not easy, and there's potentially endangering yourself.

[ i hate this. i hate what he's considering. i hate dick grayson. ]

[uncurtained]

[She pauses.]

...I don't really see how that would endanger me.

[unpredicktable]

If someone figures out you have a role because you can't say what the favor's for.

[ blunt? ]

[uncurtained]

[She shakes her head.]

There are, like, a hundred other things they could think of first. Besides - I'm not going to ask anyone I don't trust in the first place.

[unpredicktable]

[ hrmmmm ]

... Alright. Look-- if no one says yes? I'll do it. But if you can find someone who's a little more enthusiastic about it than I am...

[ then they can go for it! this is dick grayson loves himself hour ]

[uncurtained]

I'll keep you updated.

[Unless nobody else says yes, in which case she definitely isn't telling him. Love yourself!!]

[unpredicktable]

[ ABSOLUTELY NOT? ]

... Okay. Sorry I couldn't help.

[uncurtained]

I cannot emphasize how okay it is. Seriously, thank you for at least not immediately saying no.

[unpredicktable]

'Course. I know it's not something you'd go around requesting for fun.

[uncurtained]

[A nervous laugh.]

Yeah. It's... not an easy conversation to start, that's for sure. I just hope that I'm right, and the information they give me does help.

[unpredicktable]

I doubt Carlos would let you do this if it wouldn't help.

[uncurtained]

I asked him first thing if I could get another task, and he said no dice, so... Yeah.

[She sighs.]

[unpredicktable]

[ yikes. ]

... Not to distract from your awkward situation, but-- wanna see what your money bought me?

[uncurtained]

[!!]

Totally. What is it?

[unpredicktable]

[ dick takes out two typewritten notes that read “how are we supposed to believe ANY of this is REALISTIC? WHY WOULD ANYONE JUST KILL RIGHT AWAY. 0/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND” and “why do the dead keep popping up if you kill someone LET THEM STAY DEAD”

could i have html'd these. yes. but also. didnt wanna anyway ]

Negative reviews about their previous cruise experience, apparently.

[uncurtained]

...You think maybe they had a similar first trial to ours, but like - with every person who died, not just the first?

[unpredicktable]

Maybe. [ dick tilts his head a bit ] But going by what we've heard, H's dead brother clearly wasn't part of the group that came back. I broke into a room earlier this week-- a clinic-- and got my own little undead experience, too.

[uncurtained]

[She blinks, clearly curious.]

—What? What happened?

[unpredicktable]

We had to reassemble a corpse. A woman, subject they named "M". Cause of death was dismemberment. After I sutured her back together, she sort of came back to life for a little bit.

[uncurtained]

Jesus christ...

[She takes a breath, concerned.]

Did she say anything?

[unpredicktable]

Knew it was gonna happen the second we read that we had to put her back together and it still caught me by surprise. [ but: ] She didn't say anything I could understand, but when she grabbed me, I got some kind of... vision, I guess.

[uncurtained]

What kind of vision?

[unpredicktable]

First, a red orb trying to escape an exorcism circle and separating in two when it succeeded; then a white one going from an unidentifiable dead body to a living one. It fits what Kagachi and the rest found when they went exploring-- our demons are multiplying every time we strike them down, and roles just... pass onto the next person.

[ there's a beat-- ]

Which makes you wonder what we are, exactly.

[uncurtained]

[There’s a small pause as she frowns.]

What we are...?
