[ ugghhhh... ]

Finding somewhere secluded to stay at really does sound better and better.

It does, doesn't it? I imagine that after the party, the rest of those irritating newcomer effects will stop, but this place still isn't appealing.

[A big city with COPS that THROW YOU IN JAIL FOR HAMSLAUGHTER.]

Mm, especially if everything is still so restricted. Plus, the residents are weird.

[ thinks about belial ]

[He doesn't know that Belial is out there...]

Well, you aren't wrong about that. Though I'm sure many of them think the same of us, for all we've managed to do in our short time.

Possibly.

I just can't really imagine getting that used to living here.

Most can adjust to near anything, given the time.

[He says, planning to bail and get departicled the second the option is available.]

[ it's really funny watching people temporarily offer to stay behind ]

I suppose. We more or less got used to how things went by here, with the trials and all...

[ALL OF HELL IS A CIRCUS.]

Unfortunately, it did just become another usual nuisance to deal with.

[Even though he got fed up enough with it that he bounced and took Chandra with him.]

Mm...

I know the others are trying to figure out something to also let you all go home. Would you take that?

[His real answer is the secret third option, but he refuses to let anyone know that he is depressed and wishes to decease.]

Of course. I'm still owed the blood of a god, after all.

[Scaramouche showing back up in Teyvat and immediately trying to murder Nahida about it.]

[ THE FUCKIN SECRET THIRD OPTION

but he nods. ]

If there is the option to go somewhere other than your original world...?

[THE THIRD OPTION FOR NORMAL PEOPLE.......

He's quiet for a second, though, before deciding to be a little more honest.]

I refuse to leave Teyvat without collecting what I'm owed first. But I have no love for that world.

[If it weren't for his pride and little Scaramouche complexities, he'd skip the debt collection entirely and just fuck off somewhere else. Maybe he still will, if it's an option.

But honestly the most hilarious part about this Mass Jailbreak plan is that it annoys Scaramouche on a fundamental level because Hell has been kinder to him and full of more people he likes than his wholeass 500 years of living in Teyvat, but he is too emotionally stunted to consciously realize it so he's just there like "I simply want everyone to fail because it is funny".]

[ honestly, that's fair. he nods his head... ]

I'm likely going to stay here. Even if I go back home, there's a very high chance I'm just going to end up back here in the end.

[ ryo has been here for weeks and has not figured out a way to kill god, so, ]

Which is admittedly why I've been asking what it's been like here.

[HIS VACATION HOME... They can just conspire to kill god(s) in hell together until they can break out.]

Hah... Well. I can't say that isn't a possibility for me. [He's hoping that if he does die again, he just gets sent to the obliteration void instead of THIS HELL though.]

It's not intolerable. There are better options. There are worse options.

Pretty much. And depending on how things go, other options could potentially be open in the future.

[ like the SECRET THIRD OPTION

but god finding out that if they just go home and die and might end up back here really just kills the vibe. imagine being forced to be a newbie AGAIN ]

[THE SECRET THIRD OPTION!!! Honestly that is so true though imagine having to go through hazing with an entirely new group, gross.]

There is an eternity down here, after all. Even if things don't change right away, it's not like we're at a loss for time to get to a new turn of events.

[ he nods... ]

But we'll see. We're not even sure yet if their plan is going to work, so there's not much point in getting too wrapped up in the details yet.

[There's just a little hum.]

Many of us seem quite flexible and decent at planning on our feet, if nothing else.

... yeah. If anything, they know how to get organized.

[ like

not always good organized. sometimes the organization still ends up very poor but it's technically happening. ]

[ME LOOKING AT THIS SLEEPOVER AS I GO BACK TO MY USUAL TAGS]

I would say that they do a decent job, but it's only comparatively, and the bar is on the floor.

[ ryo is going to kill him later ]

I didn't say it was good organization.

[fair and valid. now the only things on his phone are music, a blurry buttshot of chandra on murder night, and ryo waving as a squirrel while harrow peace signs at him.]

It's the only organization we have, and it's better than absolutely nothing, so. ...So.

[ i hate this so much ]

It's... hel...

[ he was trying to say helpful but couldn't manage it so he just says hell ]

[WELL. IT IS. THAT IS WHAT IT IS... He just looks amused but in the Ancient Way Of Someone Who Has Seen So Much Already.]

I guess we'll see how things land soon enough. In the meantime, want me to bring you anything?

It's fine. Lavi brought me food that I am pretty sure was meant for the guards.

[ it was

legit funny ]
