Oh, yeah! Yeah, that's a good idea, too. So - let's try for both, when we can.

Alright! Okay, that should be fine. [TAKING

A BREATH.]

--Then I'll ask for the room Monday afternoon, if you haven't already, ah. Made plans.

—Oh, no, I haven't really... wanted to talk about it with anyone yet, so - you've got dibs.

[Watching her former roommates melt did not really put her in the mood!!]

[He hasn't either, hilariously. He's just penciling in his "I want to get this done Now so it's out of the way" date and time in...]

Thanks. I'd prefer to get that settled as soon as possible. [He's down2revive the dead but not down2bang, apparently.]

Yeah. It's... awkward, to say the least.

[save them all.]

To say the least! [He repeats, even more indignantly... He hates this? He has better things to be doing??]

I wonder what it's getting out of all of this, honestly. Some form of energy?

Maybe it just wants entertainment... Like some really messed up reality show.

[On one hand, the look on his face absolutely says he has no idea what a reality show is. On the other, at least he understands the idea of Evil Things Just Wanting To Have A Good Time.]

Possible, possible - though it would be the first time I've seen anything go to these lengths just to amuse itself. [...Well, not counting humans, who are buck fuckin wild at any year in any world.]

[She frowns, thinking it over.]

I can't say I'm familiar with... people who could have done something like this in the first place.

All the better for you then, isn't it? Hah, no one should have to deal with these messes. It's a shame you couldn't keep up your streak of luck.

[They're simple and to-the-point words, but there's a definite current of sympathy there.]

Yeah... It'll be nice for things to go back to normal, once all this is done. For you, too, I bet.

[Funny story about that there!!]

Mm, you're right. ...Well, we'll just have to do our best to speed things along - figure out as much as we can, keep as many people as possible safe.

Yeah. As much as I hate to say it... [After her first experience with them, at least.] We'll probably need to break into more of those rooms.

[He just sighs, crossing his arms over his chest.]

Poking around like this while things are as they are is definitely a risk, but if there's no way to gain anything without taking one, then... [A shrug, but it's a miffed shrug.] No choice, is there?

I guess we can just hope not all of them are as... rough as the recording studio was.

It's a good thing to hope for.

[Though his tone says "all we can do is hope for it haha, damn."]

...You don’t seem too optimistic.

[Which is fair, but.]

[He's not in the business of sugarcoating, unfortunately... With a somewhat sloping raise of his shoulders:]

Things haven't been stacked very fairly in our favor so far, you know? It could change! But chances are it won't, and it's best for people to move forward with their explorations understanding the risks.

...This place is kind of a bummer, isn't it?

[As lightly as she can manage.]

[Just huffs out a laugh...]

It's certainly not going to be winning my top choice as a vacationing spot any time soon!

I doubt anyone is putting this next to Paris on their bucket lists.

[Even if he'll have no idea what Paris is.]

[He does indeed have no idea where Paris is... AND YET--]

Maybe we could put in a request if we ever get the chance. Take us to Paris instead! If enough of us say it, surely they'll listen.

[She can't help the small laugh that comes forwards, even as she shakes her head.]

I'm definitely going to write a strongly worded letter or two.

Then allow me to lend you my pen!

[He holds his arm out in a flourish, as if wielding an invisible one. Double the strongly worded letters!]

[She laughs at the flourish, pantomiming taking the invisible pen from him.]

Hell yes. We're totally going to talk to their managers.
