he's in the kitchen in the tiki hell house at the moment, setting out stuff to make some kind of a meal or probably just to stress cook, so when ace pops over, he glances back, and huffs. ]
'm fine, now. [ now that hulkenberg and vi are both fine. they're probably both within a 50 foot vicinity ] ...Just hard to be away from someone when you've been with them practically every day for the past six months. Especially knowing what was coming. And Vi...
[ a beat - he shakes his head. doesn't matter, now. ] Thanks. For asking. What about you?
[ sits at the tiki bar like a good person who is used to cooks feeding him yay :3
leaning an elbow on the counter and his hand resting on his chin ]
Too nice for a place like this. [ ah, well. ] I didn't know much about Essek, and we don't have any hint of what even happened to him besides died, so it's... weird.
[ spoiled... you're lucky he's almost done with whatever he's making. idk skewers or something i didn't think that far ahead.
he makes a little noise in acknowledgement. ] Did you all have to find them where you were, too? Seems a commonality. More unusual just to be told like this.
[ he got used to being spoiled by hung let him have this. he is going to shove food in his mouth ]
Yeah. We'd look around the city find where it happened or where the body was. Then it'd be on the news, too. We'd have at least a starting base for the trial.
[ he'll drop a couple finished skewers onto a plate and pass it over. there u go ]
It was the same for us, the one time someone actually acted. Uncovered the victims after searching around.
[ im having flashbacks, also, stop it ]
...Not like this place's that big, at least. And there's a lot of us, and it sounds as if most people've got an idea of how this thing works. And there's only one. So long's no one's made of cheese.
so dead inside ] Our murderer decided she didn't want anyone to suffer, so she thought she'd save the first victim trouble by turning him to cheese and killing him that way.
[ WHAT IS THIS GUY'S NAME it's mouchy. anyway. that's cute ace thank you for your manners. ]
What a bizarre circumstance that was... nearly forgotten and it was barely two days ago.
Anyway - the cheese was some sort of cursed potion, or something. I didn't mess around with those, I've got more brains knocking around in my skull than that, and that woman was insane. I try not to ascribe logic to it much.

Eh. I think part of me was hoping nothing would happen and the whole thing would end, even though we all knew the truth. [ a little self-mocking ]
no subject
Wouldn't that have been nice.

Bit of an odd duck, that one, isn't he...
no subject
