I'd give you a gold star even. Or a good citizenship award.

...are you okay?

[motherserpent]

Yeah, sure. Banged up my pride real bad, but if anything was broken there'd be a lot more screaming.

[zunesareawesome]

...well, good. I mean, good that you're not hurt, not good that...yeah.

[motherserpent]

You know, when you say stuff like that, it doesn't make it super easy to enjoy not knowing.

[zunesareawesome]

Would it help if I said you can trust me?

[motherserpent]

Not really? Because I'm pretty sure I'm crazy either way.

[zunesareawesome]

You're not crazy. I know it sounds crazy? But you're not.

cw self harm

[motherserpent]

Uhhh, I demanded blood sacrifices. Pretty sure that qualifies as crazy. And I --

I think...I think I was cutting myself....
