--oh, I didn't realize Moray had also fallen asleep. I'm sorry to hear that. What family is Gossamer from?

[untilldeath]

Yeah... some time ago shortly after getting back on the boat.

[He looks... pretty complicated about that actually.]

. . . 'Least if they're asleep, they're not stuck inside shitty performances.

[It doesn't make it easier, though.]

Gossamer's on Sunsign. She's... I dunno. Someone pretty important from my memories. It was a real shock to see her here.

[cathasahat]

...even though that's true, it doesn't mean you can't miss them or worry about them.

I assume she doesn't recognize you right now, which probably makes it more difficult.

[untilldeath]

Yeah. She doesn't at all.

. . . To be honest, it would probably be less painful for her not to remember that... life. Whatever it is.

[He runs a hand through his hair, a little stressed.]

But it's not realistic to prevent her from it, either. So the situation sucks.

[cathasahat]

And if she's new, talking to her about it will just freak her out.

[untilldeath]

The situation seriously sucks!

[cathasahat]

[Scoots over a little on the seat and gives him a hug, though she keeps it light enough he can break out if he wants]

I'm sorry the boat continues to find new ways to suck.

[untilldeath]

[Blushes a little because he's tsun like that. He accepts the hug, though. Especially since it's from Elegy.]

A-Anyway! I hope things have been managing better for you! Sorry, I haven't been around a lot lately. I've just been dealing with some [major depression] shit.

My problems aren't gonna help us right now, though. We gotta think up what to give up.

[cathasahat]

Hymn and I have been all right--hopefully things improve for you soon.

But for the performance, did you want to aim for low or high points?

[untilldeath]

We're less likely to eat shit the higher we go, I think. But I don't even know what to give up. Or that I would want to.

[cathasahat]

Well, it sounds like we get them back so something you won't miss for a day or two?

[untilldeath]

The only thing I think I have even worth anything is probably my voice. Or creativity?

[His ability to compose or draw or something.]

If for some reason we really didn't get it back, though, I don't know what I would do.

[cathasahat]

Well, an object with emotional significance would probably count. And it doesn't seem like it has to be something we have with us right now.

[untilldeath]

Do I even have anything like that?

[He's trying to think.]

I guess, uh... my blessing that lets me summon instruments? I use that all the time.

[cathasahat]

Oh, blessings are a good idea. I was thinking something like sense of taste too--it shouldn't be dangerous, just annoying.

[untilldeath]

[Amused.]

Is sense of taste what you're going to go for?

[cathasahat]

If we want to aim high for points but minimize the potential for physical harm, it would qualify.

[untilldeath]

If that's what you'll go with, then I'll do my blessing. I use it every day, so it'll be annoying for sure.

[cathasahat]

All right. Should we start submitting our choices, then?

[untilldeath]

Works for me. We can kick back after we input what they want.

[ . . . He stares down at the long-ass capcha though.]

Why the fuck make us do something so annoying. No one likes capcha questions.

[cathasahat]

[Peering around him]

Is that a real name?

[untilldeath]

God, I hope not. Who wants to be named Geoffery?

[Dutifully, he'll type the name in and-- success!

. . . Only to be hit by another annoying capcha.]

Seriously?

[cathasahat]

...the name one actually seems less annoying now.

[untilldeath]

I think your name was on the first page, so I'll let you take care of this next one.

[Meaning he doesn't want to count all that.]

[cathasahat]

Thanks so much.

[She'll count carefully but does succeed at the captcha]

Okay--I guess I'll finish then?

[She types in "Sense of (physical) taste" into the last submission box before seeing the last captcha]

...how did this get worse.
