[ ~~HE'S TRYING!!~~ ]

Absolutely. But thanks.

[ EASY WITH THE HUGGING URGES!! ]

[ The strangling urges are alright, though. Squalo smiles a serene smile watching her fingers twitch, unaware of the more dangerous doki-ing that is going on. ]

[ And while he's pretty sure she could take down a whole bunch of volunteers trying to catch her, there's no telling if she'd even get the chance. What if they just bait her and shut the doors on both ends? Crystallizing ain't gonna do shit in that situation. ]

Sure you can. [ She'll recognize it as the same flat-ish tone he uses whenever he thinks she can do better, in other words be more bandit-like, ever since they met. ] I mean, I'm not gonna stop you [ not that he could but shh ] but I really don't give a fuck what happens to 'em, and if you get your ass in trouble playing freedom charity, I might not be able to help.

[ SHRUG SHRUG it'd take him weeks to get there and he's not quite as human-proof as you so you'll be on your own there, Angie ]

[ not that he'd leave her locked up indefinitely, but it's probably better to scare her more than strictly necessary. he'd really prefer not to be put in the position where he has to stage an anomaly breakout. ]

[ Awww, look at him smiling. Smiling is good. Much like hugs would be. Maybe just a teeny tiny little one wouldn't hurt? Not long enough to do any real damage. Just a baby cuddle. The smallest of snuggles. The briefest of--

Fortunately, she catches herself as she starts floating closer and quickly backs off again. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE WIND JUST BLEW HER THAT WAY OR SOMETHING. YEAH. ]

Um. Look, don't - if anything happens to me, don't come looking. That's stupid. Concentrate on staying safe. And alive. And stuff.

Not that anything is going to happen. If - iffff - I go, I won't enter the plant itself! No matter what. Even if nobody else seems to be around. Not even for a second. I promise!

[ She'd pinky promise, but. You know. Crystallised pinky fingers are bad. ]

I'll be very sensible. You know I'm good at that! In, um, most circumstances.

[ Circumstances that don't involve Squalo, mostly. ~~Somewhere, Jack is totally screaming about bandit STDs again.~~ ]

[ HE SEES THAT. THE ONLY REASON HE DOESN'T TAKE A STEP BACK IS TO AVOID LOOKING LIKE A LITTLE BITCH WUSS. ]

Yeah that's really not my main concern here.

[ His main concern is Xanxus. Obviously. They shouldn't have separated, damn it! But someone had to lure Angelnomaly away, and now... ]

[ It's not exactly unusual for Xanxus to ignore his texts. But he usually answered at least some of his calls. And there were no more obituaries and -- he doesn't know what to do, short of locking himself outside for the night and leaving increasingly pleading messages in a voicemail that'll probably never be opened again. But there's still a few days before it gets that bad. ]

[ Right. Angelnomaly's about to do something stupid. ]

Good. Avoid any doors or narrow places that can be blocked off and you should be fine, I think. Just. Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

[ Are there any such things, Squalo ]

[ Angelnomaly has no idea what Squalo's main concern is, but she nods anyway. Concentrating on not delivering death hugs is a lot more important than thinking about other things right now. XANXUS WHO??

It's probably a good thing. If she knew ~~Bester~~ Xanxus was MIA, she'd be all too ready to head down one of those Angelly "OH NO EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT, TIME TO BE INCREDIBLY SELF-DESTRUCTIVE TO TRY AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT" spirals. Which aren't sensible at all. ]

Got i-- don't do anything you wouldn't do? Is that your way of telling me to murder everyone in sight if John does try to capture me? Okay, I guess...

[ SHE'S TEASING ]

[ MOSTLY ]

[ GRINNING. ]

Pretty much. [ a small pause, then he raises a finger in reprimand. ] Unless I happen to like them.

[ look, he's so supportive of your murder tendencies Angelnomaly! ]

Oh, and, uh. If you see Xanxus, can you tell him to check his goddamn voicemail? Or better yet, to get his ass to the bunker.

[ he's doing his best not to sound worried. ]

No one you like, got it. If anyone on the Squalo-approved list tries anything, I'll just stick with a gentle maiming.

[ She laughs, but only for like a second or two before joking about gentle maimings with the guy she gently maimed starts to feel awkward. WELP. ]

...Wait, he's not - Xanxus isn't with you already?

[ OH

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ]

Well. I was going to go get you food anyway, right? So I'll just - I'll check the big food place. With the good stuff, downtown? That seems like somewhere he might end up.

[ And maybe on the way there she'll just. Check out a morgue or two. Just in case. It's not like he's really going to be dead or anything, is it? ]

Sounds great. If they're threatening your safety, a moderate maiming is acceptable.

[ HAHA DISCUSSING VIOLENCE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE HURT HIM IS SECOND NATURE WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S AWKWARD HAHAHAHAHA ]

[ oh she. doesn't know. ah. so she hasn't seen him around... ]

[ SURELY IT'S NOTHING ]

Definitely. He's probably stuffing his face with all of the remaining food without a care in the world right now.

[ that's a comforting thought. ]

Can I... uh, do anything for you? In return?

Oh, geez. I better be qui-- I better haul ass before there's nothing left for me to bring to you, huh? Hopefully enough of it has been dismissed as trash. Hopefully.

[ He's so dead, isn't he. Oh god he's dead and she's going to find his body and she's going to have to actually tell Squalo because she owes him that at least and fuck shit goddammit ass WHY.

The slag flow is maybe increasing a little. It's totally the equivalent of sweating. SURE IS WARM IN THIS FROZEN HECKHOLE. ]

And, um. No, there's - it's fine. It's the least I can do for hecking you up, right? And, uh, sorta-kidnapping you. And stuff.

[ especially if xANXUS IS DEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAADD ]

Haha, that's a very real possibility.

[ HE'S DEEEAAAAAAD let's not think about that let's not think about that ]

[ HELLO SLAG if only you could melt metal ]

To be fair, I kind of kidnapped you first...

[ It was other her, but she still had those memories, right? ]

[ look at them joking around and being cute to each other haha ]

[ h a h a ]

Oh, that barely counted!! I didn't get hurt, and it was. Kinda fun.

[ And it doesn't tear her up inside thinking about it or anything. Gee, she sure doesn't miss being normal. Or getting to hang out with friends. Or sleep piles, she doesn't miss those at all. Oh oh and smiling! She definitely doesn't miss being able to smile at people or casually put a hand on them as she walks past or oh GOD HER FACE IS FLOODING ]

Iunno if the f-- the other me said so, but it was actually pretty sweet of you? Except for the bit with Rhys, but, um. The rest was... nice.

[ she hates thiiiiiiiiiiis, ]

[ uuUUUUUUUGH guess that was the wrong topic to bring up. um. ]

I got the idea. Don't worry about it.

[ He sort of starts lifting his hand for an encouraging pat, then stops himself because haha slag touch of death and eridium. This is the worst. ]

[ Awww. It does make her feel a little better. Wanting to give her a pat totally counts for like, 90% of a real pat. Yeah.

The remaining 10% hurts like hell bUT SHHHHH, ]

I'll try not to. I mean - I have a job to do, right? So I should. Get on that. And come back in a day or two. With food! Hopefully. You'll need to, um, lend me a bag or something. And get that stick off the other me? The one Bester used to play with? So I can hold the bag on the end of it andhopefully keep the contents from getting all.

Y'know.

Purple.

[ THE THOUGHT MATTERS!! ]

Alright, I'll go get it. [ He's... not in a hurry to leave, though. That's nice? Also "But Bester might need it" is at the tip of his tongue, but. He has to focus on the now. On what they actually need. Not stupid sentimentality for a cat. ] 'Nd you're definitely coming back, alright? If you get yourself trapped I swear to fuck I'll find a way to murder you.

[ so sweet ]

Awwwww.

[ THAT'S A VERY SINCERE AWW. She'd like to accompany it with a stuck-out tongue to make it less so, but. NOT AN OPTION. ]

I mean, um, yes. I'll come back. If things get hairy I'll just run f-- I'll float for it. And barf slag at any pursuers. Even John.

[ ESPECIALLY JOHN. ]

You have enough to deal with, right? I have no plans to add to it.

[ IF ONLY. ]

Especially John.

[ Hey just because Squalo doesn't want him dead doesn't mean he can't acknowledge the guy definitely deserves slag barf right now. ]

Thanks. I'll go get the stuff.
