Uh, hey everyone.

[Someone sounds sort of sheepish, mostly to hide the distress that comes from being on the receiving end of being revived.]

I wish I could say that I'd died doing something really worthwhile to help out, but I didn't, it was an anomaly. But I'm-- I'm okay now, I can't even figure out what I've lost. I've tried thinking through all my life but none of my memories seem to be gone, and I've still got all my senses, and I still look like me. I'm kind of scared that there isn't a cost, that would mean they're getting more powerful. Maybe they even have a bigger stone? Maybe they've sacrificed more people?!

[There's a brief pause, and then a more subdued voice continues.]

Okay, so-- maybe I figured it out after all, please forget what I said then. I didn't mean to talk about it so publicly where anyone could hear, especially not when the Admin really might be using philosopher's stones to resurrect people!

[Damn it! Again!]

I mean... I don't think I can lie, and it's like I'm just speaking without getting to think about it first, which is really awkward! What if I end up having a conversation with someone and I don't want to say something to them, and it comes out anyway? What if I tell Steph that I think she's really pretty? OH! Oh no...

cw: mention of homophobia

[armoured]

I guess I might find that kind of weird, but that's only because it would be you, and that would be like finding out that you actually had a heart under all that meanness.

[No filter Al is sassy Al.]

[rubikscomplex]

you're admitting i don't have a heart!
aw, lelly!
i'm touched!

[armoured]

I know you have one, it's just hard to see it sometimes. Most of the time. You're such a big jerk even when you don't need to be. I know it's just because you're scared of people caring about you, and even more scared of caring about them in return, but it can be really annoying.

[rubikscomplex]

nah
but nice try
so
what do you think about angel's boobs?
too big?
too small?
just right?

[Yes, you're being tortured because of your transgressions in saying he has a heart.]

[armoured]

I've never thought about Angel's boobs!

[Why is this happening to him?]

I don't like Angel like that, why would I look at her boobs? And why would it matter what size they were?

[rubikscomplex]

how about steph?
which part of that hot mammacita really turns you on, lelly?

[armoured]

I really don't want to talk about this with you. You're a big jerk and you just want to tease me about it, and you'll go to Steph and tell her that I think her hair is really pretty and she's got the nicest laugh I've ever heard.

[NOOOO!]

[rubikscomplex]

god, lelly!
you're so shallow!

[armoured]

I really dislike you sometimes, why do you have to be so mean?

[rubikscomplex]

i'm actually a vampire
an emotional vampire
i live on your suffering

[armoured]

Then I'm cutting you off.

[At the end of his tether, at least for today, he hangs up.]
