[ he can be today! he's settled after the absolute fucking insanity of today and he's probably reading, but he'll come open the door, tail waving.

there's the usual numb, but there's a soft and steady grief under all of it. not that it shows on his face or in his body language. ]

Marcoh, hello. Is everything alright?

[boxcar]

Everything's okay. But there's some stuff I thought you should see and hear about. Is talking here okay?

[fried]

Of course it is.

[ he nudges the door open. welcome to his and basilio's room... there's a lot of fake plants in here, and at least one blanket nest, because three furries live in this room. ]

Come sit.

[boxcar]

[ Fidelio... cucking the Basiliqiu agenda...

But he hands over this for starters. ]

[fried]

[ it persists

he goes ! at the sight of it. reads this... slowly... and there's a very warm feeling as he finishes it. ]

Oh, good. Then - this must mean I'm not being pranked.

[boxcar]

Yes. And there is more. Euphausia and I went to the castle graveyard and found a strange blue flame that let us listen in on a conversation between lost souls. We chose to try Charlie, and we overheard her talking to Brimstone too.

They sounded like they always have. Not in trouble or in -- well, I think we overheard a pretty personal conversation, but I mean that they don't sound like they are in strife.

[fried]

[ there's just like, a flood of relief that he feels at this. ]

... That's good, that's - they must not be that far from us? If it's possible to reach them like this. [ a beat. ] Would you like to see the letters I received as well?

[boxcar]

I think it may be possible. Euphausia thinks so too.

Sure, if you don't mind.

[ There's not like much emotion to read out of Marcoh but maybe also a small hum of relief back too. He did come to tell Jiaoqiu all this with very specific intent so. He's glad it's working. ]

[fried]

[ it is definitely helping. as a general rule his emotions take some crazy effort to kickstart into motion, so the fact that he's feeling this strongly at all is nothing short of a miracle.

he reaches to his bed, and swipes a couple of letters up to show marcoh. ]

[boxcar]

[ He huffs a little, looking at all this. ]

Popular, aren't you?

[ Holds this one that's 90% chance from Dan with a bit of a wry look. ]

[fried]

[ it is so dan it hurts yeah it's kind of funny ]

Ah, I wouldn't say that. Just that I'm more visibly pathetic than the rest of you. [ haha... ha. ]

I sent Brimstone a very embarrassing message back, in the interest of reminding him that I don't take this sort of attitude from him. I wish I could see his face when he opens it...

[boxcar]

Ask them to open the mail in public, and ready a camera.

[ He doesn't make jokes, like... really ever... but this is a moment of relief enough that maybe it can call for one. ]

[fried]

[ help!! he laughs at this, tail wagging gently behind him. ]

I think that if I asked Jing Yuan to do so, he would. Good idea.

[boxcar]

This amount of messages, with what the angels said about the lost souls being under care of someone they know and trust, and what Euphausia and I saw -- I think, it is safe to believe in all of this.

[fried]

Yes. I... don't know that I can completely put all of my hope into this, but even my natural suspicion can't stand up to this sort of news.

It will still hurt to lose people, but they're safe, somewhere, and we know for sure. They're trying to make it back.

[boxcar]

Ay.

[ Giving him a strong pat on the shoulder. ]

It is something to hold on to. So try not to forget it.

We will find whoever is causing all of this and let them know our dissatisfaction.

[fried]

[ there's a burst of warmth, when he pats his shoulder. something fond, something appreciative. ]

I won't forget. [ a smile. ] And I'll be happy to support you when that time comes. I know my way around an explosion.

[ can't wait to put the nasty evil door demons in a hot pot ]

[boxcar]

You should probably know less but no room to complain at this point.

[fried]

That knowledge may serve me well! You never know.

[boxcar]

Very Wis'adel of you...

[fried]

Oh no. [ bunsweat ] That's concerning.

[boxcar]

Yes, so you better be careful.

[fried]

I take offense to this! I'm generally very careful...

[ mostly, ]

[boxcar]

Somebody has to make sure you don't get too daring?

[fried]

You did really try, last Thursday. [ he'll give him that. ]
