[ WHO DID THIS!!!! ]

Hm... I think I can manage, but who knows if the temperature will dip.

[teufelshund]

[ I DON'T KNOW BUT I RESPECT THEIR DESIRE FOR CHAOS ]

Well, let me know if it gets to be too much. I don't mind letting you borrow my coat if you need it.

[preordain]

[ well, okay. ryo won't say no to an offer that would make him less uncomfortable. ]

Let's go deeper in.

[ he

will reach out to take his hand ]

[teufelshund]

[ (〃°ω°〃)♡

happily takes his hand!! ]

Think we'll run into a yukiotoko here?

[preordain]

[ he opens his mouth to answer. closes it. considers it again. ]

... actually, going by where we are, I wouldn't disregard the idea. It'll probably be something absurd though.

[teufelshund]

This is the type of habitat they favor under normal circumstances! You're right though, they do tend to come up with the dumbest possible versions of most things here.

[ just like ryo is going to come up with the DUMBEST POSSIBLE VERSION OF A BOYFRIEND!!! ]

Maybe it'd just be a reproduction of that claymation Christmas one.

[preordain]

[ ryo became a morosexual for 24 hours and personally i hope they are put into a mini event group together for the worst time possible. ]

With our luck, it'll probably be that hamster again but his fur is white now.

[teufelshund]

[ would love to popcorn that ]

Quite possible! His ability to hold a grudge in double-death is almost admirable! I could see it manifesting as a monster on this side.

[preordain]

I heard that he's been consistently sending threats to Gideon.

[ which is funny. he clearly finds this hilarious. ]

[teufelshund]

[ this is why mephisto loves him, probably. ]

It's pretty hilarious. Like some Macbeth parody where the ghosts aren't manifestations of guilt but just one exceedingly bitter hamster.

[preordain]

If you told me those animals were the ones running around killing people, I'd believe it.

[teufelshund]

Honestly, it wouldn't exactly be unjustified.

[preordain]

It really wouldn't--

[ something scurries by in the distance ]

[teufelshund]

[ ah. ]

...You saw that, right?

[ holds his hand tighter ]

[preordain]

We're definitely not alone.

[ he didn't drink anything weird before coming here so it's not santa... so it must be real. ]

Maybe it's one of the others?

[teufelshund]

[ yeah his santa hallucinations wore off already, soooo. ]

...I can't put skittering around in dark caves past all of them, it's true.

[preordain]

It definitely would track, yes.

[ it runs to the side again ]

Aw, shit.

[teufelshund]

[ hmm...

well, at least it's not running directly at THEM. maybe it didn't notice them yet! ]

Maybe we should keep closer to the walls to try to stay out of sight.

[ except they're probably both wearing fucking white as usual so they're not going to blend into the shadows very well ]

...Well. Get behind me if it comes this way. [ affectionate hand squeeze ] The last thing I want is for you to get hurt.

[preordain]

[ they should have stayed in the snow it was safer there

but ryo is like ??? but like, he isn't going to say no to someone offering to be a shield. why would he say no to this. ]

Hopefully it's not another case like the octopus.

[teufelshund]

[ yeah leaving the snow was a mistake

kind of ducking behind a stalagmite as sounds come from up ahead... ]

The transforming part, you mean?

[preordain]

Mm. At least for that one it's stuck in a tank.

[ EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT WAS

VERY MUCH NOT STUCK IN A TANK ]

[teufelshund]

I think that was probably octopus-specific since they're able to camouflage themselves.

[ though, like. obviously not to that extent, normally. ]

Though I suppose nothing's stopping this place from inventing a polar octopus or something.
