Mint-- are you okay? How are you feeling?

[ Coming over and fussing, particularly looking her bracelet over, as if he expects it to do something or start doing something now that they're taking a break. ]

[bypastime]

Huh-? Oh, I...I'm fine, I'm fine!

[She startles slightly at his approach, her other hand involuntarily settling over the bracelet as she flashes him a smile that totally isn't forced in any way, nope.]

I guess I, ah, overreacted a bit back there, huh? But, there's nothing to worry about. You should go check on Viva.

[forthemackerel]

Mint...

[ Don't think he didn't see what happened between her and Coyote + that first question in mind... ]

[bypastime]

[What question what Coyote there are only smiles here]

Cascade~ Your friend did really great back there, huh? How lucky!

[deep breaths, Mint. deep breaths, big smiles]

[wrongtiming]

Well... Shit.

[that sure happened.]

[forthemackerel]

[ not okay, outwardly upset. ]

This game wasn't fair.

They're never fair with her.

[wrongtiming]

So what do we do now, just... Wait?

[unguilded]

Ash...

No matter what happens, we'll do everything we can. I promise.

[wrongtiming]

Has she done that to people before? The - puppet thing she was talking about?

[worldsaving]

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck—

[ there's nothing in here to break!!! ]

[bypastime]

Viva-! [SPARE THIS CHILD]

[worldsaving]

This is such bullshit-!

[ the brave face is gone, and so is the carefree teenager inflection she normally takes. ]

[unguilded]

[ SPARE BOTH OF THESE CHILDREN. (shh mint you are a child ok ur innocence) ]

No matter how this ends, we'll take care of you.

[forthemackerel]

[ break a water bottle? whip it against the wall? ]

Viva... [ he doesn't know if he has the right to say anything, getting off free. ]

[worldsaving]

I really fucked up... Fuck!

[unguilded]

Cascade--!

Be ready to start moving at the end of the game. If we can quest to undo or help what's going to happen to the others, they're going to be relying on us.

[unguilded]

We'll take care of you.

No matter what happens we'll take care of you.

[worldsaving]

[ wipes her nose. hand's shaking. shit. ]

Yeah, I know.
