THERE WILL BE NO HIDING PLACE FOR EVIL.

( very gently scratching behind her ears. ) No offense. It's a good look for you. Not so much for me.

I've done it before a few times. This is probably the longest my hair's gotten in a while, honestly. Hairless kavat or drowned pobber are kinda my only options.

Kinda tempted to shave my head again.

// talking about drifter-operator dynamics, so: there is a huge disparity between the way Drifter Zed views Operator Zed, versus the way Operator Zed views his drifter counterpart. Drifter Zed sees the operator as a child, despite it all. he is largely motivated by a (pointless) desire to +

Magic.

She's got her big ol' paws in my face right now.

Got your kavat sitting on my chest like she's a sleep paralysis demon, purring like crazy.

Oh, I'm attempting. I'm attempting and I'm gonna succeed. She likes me sooo much.

We're all fucking old.

What the hell.

Oh. Yeesh. That's rough.

Like I said before, that's kinda sad to me. Did she just, what? Pop some veils, take out the Archons and dip?

Well. How do you feel about that?

Hi?

Sure, I guess it's not 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘺 fucked up. But fucked up nonetheless. Sorry about your wife.

That's fucked up.

Just occurred to me that there's probably a bunch of void kids out there without their, uh. Counterpart. Outsider guy like me. I dunno, I think that's kinda sad for both of them. My void kid is like a little brother I never wanted, but wound up with anyway.

Pretty easily.

Yeah, yeah. If I'm some kinda geezer, what's that make you, huh?

Yeah, I guess you're right. Still kinda crazy the sheer amount of crap I— We?— wasn't taught. Never think too much of it 'til it's put right in front of my face like this.

Oh, come on.

Feels a little silly being a ??? year old man getting history lessons.

// really appreciating the confirmation that the drifter does not consider themself to be tenno

Amir is a nice kid and all, but I think if he activates Discharge while we're both next to an Efevron tank one more time, I'm gonna strangle him just a little bit.

"I'm just puttin' it out there. Offer's on the table, if you ever change your mind." His expression softens a little. "Loid misses you like crazy, you know."

"Why?" Zed flashes a crooked grin. "Don't tell me you're embarrassed. I mean, I bet Loid would love to get all caught up on your thoughts 'n all that. I'd be doing you guys a favor. Like a messenger, or something."

"Gonna waltz riiight on up to him and say, 'Hey, Loid. You're never gonna guess what Doctor E said!' and he's gonna make that face he makes when he doesn't like what he's hearing."

I'm just a chill guy.

"I'm gonna ask Loid if this is true when the whole current shitshow is over."

( blinks. ) Ham?

"Little" isn't the word I'd use, she's almost twice the size of my kavat. It's crazy. What the hell were you feeding her?

Hey, c'mon, I'm not a monster. Of course I'm petting her. Doesn't make it less creepy when she's staring at me with those big ol' eyes, though. Like she's waiting for something. Which. I guess she is, now that I've said it. But, y'know.

Whatever that means. Your cat is kinda freaking me out a little, by the way.

That's crazy, 'cause personally, I can control myself just fine, after everything. But what do I know, I guess.

Ughhhhhhhhh.

If I never had to hear the word "party" again, it'd be too soon.

Okay, not THAT music.

Really? Damn, that sucks.

Shit keeps hitting the fan in new and bizarre ways.

I'M NOT GOOD OR EVIL, JUST PRACTICAL AS HELL.

... Yeah, alright, fair enough.

Wouldn't blowing up Deimos be. Well. Maybe not 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 bad, but still probably 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺 bad.

Okay, thaaat sounds a little like overkill. And a little concerning.

Like I said, wishful thinking.
