[ His voice dips into disdain for the first time ]

The Echo can take care of it themselves.

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

Then you better hope they do it soon, or I'm gonna have to start punchin' you again.

[just ignore the slight crack in his voice]

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

[ Doing so, graciously, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel the crack all the way to his toes ]

... Will that help?

[ Genuinely asking. ]

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

No. You'd still be just as much of a goddamned idiot.

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

[ Exhales, but it comes out sounding more like a long sigh ]

I can't change who I am, Wolfwood.

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

[does that go for me too]

[sighs in frustration and starts to pace quickly]

I'm already regrettin' lettin' you do this. . . fuck.

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

[ Watching... ]

I told you it's going to be fine. That's still true, y'know.

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

Like hell it's gonna be fine, you ass. What part of this is fine?

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

You said it yourself: we come back. It'll only be for a little while, then you can yell at me all you want.

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

Like I give a shit about that.

[pacepacepace]

You realize however she'd do it- she and whoever else is runnin' this- there's no way they're gonna make it painless.

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

... I'm not gonna kill myself, if that's where you're going with this.

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

[stops]

It's a little late to be sayin' that.

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

[ ... Low, wry, self-deprecating chuckling is probably not the right response here, so sorry Wolfwood ]

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

[you're damn right it's not the right response]

What's so goddamn funny?

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

Nothing, really. But it's better than being upset.

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

Is that what you think? 'Cause that stupid fake smile is a pain to look at.

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

[ That's two-for-two, now.

He really doesn't feel like arguing about it right at this moment. ]

... Sorry.

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

[just. back to pacing. this is the shittiest thing to have to wait for ever]

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

[ Okay, but after a few more minutes pass and the vines start to do their super lovely lashing routine, is that actually any better ]

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

[NOT REALLY NO]

Spikey-!

[idc if i knew this was coming, immediately going for those vines. not that he's able to pull them off of course, thanks echoes]

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

Idiot! Stop!

[ He's too busy being impaled to really see that the vines aren't injuring Wolfwood, too, but it's a PRETTY SAFE ASSUMPTION TO MAKE ]

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

[yeah sorry not really gonna spend time dissuading him from that assumption right now]

Damn it. . . damn!

[but he does stop when it become clear that there's no pulling it off, which. yeah that was kind of a given really]

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

[ Yes, good, thank you. He'll pretend you stopped because he told you to. Let him have this dying wish.

In the meantime there doesn't seem to be any finishing move, just a whole lot of stabbing and slowly bleeding. UMMM... ]

Re: FAILURE

[trailofblood]

[there's probably more internal bleeding than external, THIS IS A SHITTY SLOW WAY TO KILL SOMEONE??]

You gotta be shittin' me. . .

Re: FAILURE

[featherduster]

[ He spares a thought for the prosthetic, mostly because having to replace it would be a pain in the ass.

But yeah.

The rest of him ain't making a fuss, or even a sound, aside from some less-than-clean breathing. Go do something else, Wolfwood, jfc ]
