[ ah...

a beat, as he looks himself over. ]

So I am. [ said like wow! that's weird! anyway! ] I've stopped questioning things. Last week I ate a fry and couldn't stop meowing for an hour.

[boxcar]

...

Huh?

[ Somehow I avoided any PCs where he was given weird food or drinks so like. ]

[fried]

You avoided the donuts that make you float, as well?

[ wow ]

[boxcar]

The what?

[ Nobody fed him those!! ]

[fried]

[ BUDDY ]

Well, I can't exactly show you. I don't want you to suffer the effects.

[boxcar]

Okay...

I didn't know they did funny stuff.

[ Well...... now he has to be wary of all the cool new food...... ok......... ]

[fried]

If you'd like, I'll try them for you first, just in case.

[ it ain't gonna stop him ]

[boxcar]

You don't need to do that.

[ Don't just offer to be a guinea pig. ]

[fried]

[ it is Too Late ]

But I'm going to try all the foods anyway, so it may as well be this way.

[boxcar]

Be careful at least?

[ Floating, as Jiaoqiu said, sounds harmless but... ]

[fried]

[ no ]

I'm al-- [ ... ] I'm generally very careful.

[boxcar]

...

[ Jiaoqiu may not be able to see well but he can feel the vibes here. ]

[fried]

[ nooOOOO ]

When have I not been careful in the time you've known me?

[boxcar]

You could be more especially right now.

Did you get rest?

[fried]

I slept as well as I'm able. Stab wounds with little pain relief tend to cause some tossing and turning.

[boxcar]

Did you not get something for it?

[ Let's take Ibuprofen together... ]

[fried]

Lucas gave me a painkiller from the convenience store, but it didn't do much.

I'll be asking the angels a little later if I can have something else. I'd like to be able to move freely without problems. [ ... ] More problems.

[boxcar]

[ Honesty if I was era and probably character-accurate he just might suggest heroin unironically but. ]

Morphine.

[fried]

[ marcoh like just do drugs this will solve all issues with a bigger issue ]

As nice as that sounds, I'd like to also be able to concentrate.

[boxcar]

[ Unfortunately. But also unironically tfw it was an actual prescribed painkiller at one point. ]

I think you could afford a day.

[ But he supposes that's fair enough. ]

[fried]

[ he glances away, out at their surroundings. ]

I'll tell you a secret. [ he adjusts his coat a bit. ] I think I'd like that day.

[ as responsible as he feels like he has to be, he would really not mind staring into the abyss for a few hours. ]

[boxcar]

[ Just looking at him instead of following whatever Jiaoqiu glances to. ]

I won't tell anyone if you want to.

[fried]

[ an ear flick.

and almost like an abrupt change of subject: ]

The angels tell me that things like mara should not affect people in this afterlife.

[ though maybe it isn't. maybe it's not hard to tell where his head is at. ]

[boxcar]

...No?

[ Like he's propping the door open if Jiaoqiu wants to mention more. ]

[fried]

Mm. So the General was not affected.

There must have been something else, I just cannot fathom what. [ a beat. ] I should move on. This isn't going to do me any good.
