[toyska]

Huh. Is it dangerous, then? Or just a cultural choice?

[Sometimes people just live in caves]

[doublefists]

Neither. We're the scum under the shoes of the rich.

[toyska]

[Oh so it's like Fontaine]

Ah, that sort of thing.

[Meanwhile Childe stands here, being rich.]

[doublefists]

[ I MEAN ]

Yeah. This is the first time I've breathed fresh air in years.

[toyska]

[He tilts his head slightly.]

Nowhere to run away to?

[doublefists]

Maybe, but prison was a bit of a deterrent.

[toyska]

Every cage has a door.

[doublefists]

[ not everybody can run down a really long hallway for an awkward amount of time with a really wide camera angle out of prison, childe ]

Trust me. I looked.

[toyska]

[NOOOOOO MY GIF]

Mm. [Not a sound of doubt or anything, just a vague acknowledgment. He is very biased considering his. Everything,,, but he's also not so arrogant as to think he knows everything about everywhere, so he isn't going to be like WELL YOU SHOULD'VE TRIED HARDER like an asshole.] Were you headed back there, before this?

[doublefists]

[ shifts from foot to foot. ]

No. I was trying to go somewhere else.

[toyska]

[He very kindly does not comment on this obvious display of discomfort, instead just looking at her with an easy curiosity.]

What sort of place were you headed to, then? Outlanders aren't totally unheard of where I'm from, but I'd never heard of so many different worlds until I got pulled out of mine.

[doublefists]

[ thanks, she appreciates it. this is actually kind of a weird topic for her, not that she'll explain why. ]

Yeah, I'd never heard of other worlds either. I guess - it was an invitation. Strohl and Hulkenberg asked me back with them.

[toyska]

[Fortunately, despite what he's used to having, Childe isn't in the habit of asking about things he isn't keen to talk about himself.]

And you all, you only had two weeks of all this, right? But a much higher death rate than the rest of us, from what I gather.

[doublefists]

Yeah. Two weeks, but three or four people died like, every other day. There were only two actual murders.

[toyska]

What an odd departure from the usual. I wonder why your situation was so different...

[doublefists]

No idea. We barely even got anything out of it, you know? I don't know who sent us on vacation, I don't even know how we got plugged in. It's not like there was an explanation.

[toyska]

You didn't have anyone there to greet you at all?

[Childe like damn even hell had NPCs when he didn't even like most of them]

[doublefists]

Just a bunch of robots that didn't talk. Other than that, nope.

[toyska]

....Well, if it makes you feel better, we had a bunch of obnoxious teenagers.

[doublefists]

[ thinks about how i played an obnoxious teenager in that game and nods ]

It doesn't, but that's pretty funny. Were you the only adult?

[ she doesn't know how old scara is he's like 7 in her opinion ]

[toyska]

[HELP I just meant the NPCs but we did have them in the cast too that's true

He laughs, waving a hand]

No, no! There were plenty with me.

[doublefists]

I was gonna say, wasn't the whole point drinking? That's what Alex mentioned, anyway.

[toyska]

Yes, it was... it'll be strange not to have bars everywhere, now that I think about it.

[doublefists]

[ DEVASTATING

the look on her face is like i'm so fucking jealous of your murdergame ]

[toyska]

[Yeah you should be

He laughs, but not meanly.]

It wasn't as relaxing as it sounds, I promise you that. Almost all of the drinks available were cursed in some way.
