[ sitting on the floor with the head cradled in an arm. he takes a shuddering breath.

when not on the phone, he asks ]

Can he hear through you...? The way you could hear through him?

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

It doesn't matter. You're not getting him back.

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

Please tell me.

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

Why should I help you?

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

[ curls over, unintentionally sort of curling around the head, taking in a long breath ]

I have something I want to say to you.

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

[bares his teeth]

Then say it.

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

Will he hear?

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

Yes.

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

[

starts laughing. he doesn't think anything is funny it just comes out ]

I thought you would lie and say he was gone.

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

[just glares]

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

I can't say it.

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

Why are you like this?

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

[ now he laughs in earnest ]

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

[snaps his teeth threateningly]

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

[ somehow, unafraid. how could he not be intimidated

but his laughter dies down again ]

... I wasn't prepared for it to be as bad as it was. Although she isn't exactly trying to keep us alive, I didn't think she would be willing to eliminate so many people at once. But I never even thought that maybe she could just bring you back- even though Xerx was already dead in the first place.

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

Would you do it again?

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

From the beginning-- the intention was for this to never happen again.

That's why we lied. So that people wouldn't think they were freely welcoming this fate.

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

Don't do it again. She can't be trusted.

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

- Do you know anything about how she arranged this?

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

I'm a prisoner too, you moron. Does your furry friend?

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

No, but- she doesn't remember much. I just... hoped for an answer, from the way you talked, I guess.

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

I know she's powerful beyond measure, and using that to toy with us.

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

... I know. I know that I can't trust her word... but it's all we have to go on. It's frustrating.

Re: POSTGAME

[madasa]

It sucks.

Re: POSTGAME

[chew_toy]

Hahhh... I'd been wondering what her real intentions were behind grouping us up like this, too, but now I almost wish she hadn't shown her hand...
