...I don't think I have much of an appetite.

[She comes over to sit on the bed, though, glancing up at the ceiling.]

But, um, do you have a second?

[givethemhell]

[He just nods at that since fair, honestly... But the question piques his curiosity and he's scooting around in his blanket pile to peer her way.]

Of course I do. Would you like to talk about the ritual?

[Look. A lot of people have been coming to him for very specific things lately.]

[uncurtained]

I... would actually be pretty happy if I never had to think about that again. No, um, I wanted to talk more about - the other thing we learned today.

[Please let her sink into the earth and never return.]

1/2

[givethemhell]

The other thing?

[Hold on, he blocked that out of his head in the same way Beck wants to block out the ritual nonsense going on everywhere around them!!]

[givethemhell]

[But once it clicks BOY DOES IT VISIBLY HIT HIM.]

--The other thing.

[He's too much of a dead virgin for this?? HE HATES IT. SEX DEMONS ARE THE WORST. HE'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, THOT.]

...Er-- Hah, yes, right. Right! Right, what was it you wanted to talk about?

[uncurtained]

[She looks honestly surprised that he's even more hesitant to talk about it than she is, but sure. He can do blood magic and raise the dead and also not like talking about sex? The duality of man.]

Just, um... Maybe it would be good if we could work out a system so we know when the room is, um, occupied.

[Since she absolutely doesn't trust he'll know the significance of a sock on the door.]

[givethemhell]

[THE DUALITY OF MAN, INDEED... Somehow, Beck is definitely (for now) the most cursed between the two of them when it comes to getting down and dirty. Wild.]

Ah... Right, that would be a good idea. Leave a note below the frame, maybe? Sticking out enough so that it can be seen...?

[But WHAT IF IT GETS KICKED BACK UNDER AND SOMEONE WALKS IN ON SOMEONE ELSE.]

[uncurtained]

Right. Right, just, um - we're going to both have to make sure we look at the ground before we come in. That's not really a normal thing to do, it might take some getting used to.

[kill them both]

[givethemhell]

...Maybe it would also be good to-- give an advance warning, if possible. If we have plans.

[@ sex demons please come put him in the void with polly and carlos]

[uncurtained]

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

[givethemhell]

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.

[uncurtained]

—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!!]

[givethemhell]

[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.]

[uncurtained]

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

[save them all.]

[givethemhell]

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?

[uncurtained]

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

[givethemhell]

[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.]

[uncurtained]

[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.

[givethemhell]

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.]

[uncurtained]

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

[givethemhell]

[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.

[uncurtained]

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.

[givethemhell]

[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?

[uncurtained]

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

[givethemhell]

It's a good thing to hope for.

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