[CW: references to religious violence; disrespectful discussion of both Abrahamic and Nahuatl religions fairly likely in comments.]

[The Tess who appears on the screen is a rather tired-looking Tess.]

I, uh.

[She glances down; clears her throat awkwardly.]

If anyone actually, uh. Actually took the blood sacrifice thing seriously? I need you to just not. Please. Offer's rescinded, no blessings for blood. Even if it worked--and it's not going to work; I was just being--I was being stupid. Even if it worked I don't...I don't want that. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry I said all that stuff. I'm sorry for the things I called everyone.

[Her face contorts in guilt, but she forces it neutral again.]

And...if anyone's seen my snake? I know you don't owe me anything, but if you could let me know if he's okay, I'd just...I'd really appreciate that.



[Private to Flynn]

Flynn, I...I'm really sorry. That wasn't okay; none of that was okay. I shouldn't have put you in that position. I'd get it if you didn't want to talk to me again.

Mmm, okay, but that means we should actually be motivated to meet up sometime that's not in a shitty death-filled tooth pit.

[motherserpent]

But I take all my best vacations in shitty death-filled tooth pits.

[sleight_of_fate]

Honestly, so do I, but in the places I go, at least the drinks are better.

[He's probably not kidding.]

Seriously, though. If you're ever near Residential 3, let me know and I'll see about catching up with you.

[motherserpent]

I miss drinks....

Yeah, seriously though. Maybe I'll get some food, come up that way with it.

[sleight_of_fate]

I wish the grocery store wasn't so long a trek. I just finished off the last of my peanut butter, and I'm down to my last few tea bags. But it was amazing to actually have protein in my diet for a while.

[The downside of a high metabolism in this place: it's pretty much eating him alive.]

No matter what you decide, though, just let me know and I can probably meet you partway.

[motherserpent]

I'd guess two weeks round trip the whole way, yeah. Kind of a shitty arrangement.

I'll let you know.

[sleight_of_fate]

Sure thing. Good luck, stay warm. Hopefully I'll talk to you soon.

{It's about the best sign-off he can give.]

[motherserpent]

Yeah. Same, dude, stay warm.

[And that's all that needs to be said right now.]
