We'll see about that. I trust them more than you hate us.

[pyrighteous]

We’ll just have to see how misplaced your trust is, then.

[neonleon]

It isn't. You'll see.

[pyrighteous]

[ A soft laugh. ]

In that case, I’d better be ready for them, yes?

[ More slime oozes out of the walls, forming all sorts of obstacles in advance. ]

[neonleon]

[Just watching this happen, his soul being coated and soiled by this intrusion like a disease.]

We'll win. We always do. [But even his voice cracks as more of the distasteful mess oozes down the threads to start covering part of his face with that same burning sensation, leaving him only half his vision.]

[pyrighteous]

Of course you do.

[ He says, as the ooze slides completely over one eye. ]

At end of day 45

[neonleon]

[Smirking but so tired where he's being kept hanging.]

Five days and you're outta here.

Re: At end of day 45

[pyrighteous]

[ Belos is indeed pacing a bit, not much enjoying the thought of there being a deadline. Much less one from a BROTHER like this. He seethes, frustrated. ]

You have such faith in your brothers. Misplaced, of course.

Re: At end of day 45

[neonleon]

Oh, I dunno. I told you they'd figure out something was wrong. Love being right.

Re: At end of day 45

[pyrighteous]

They haven't caught on yet. Not completely.

Besides, I wasn't going to make that ridiculous sound.

Re: At end of day 45

[neonleon]

No, but they're on the right track.

And uh it's a perfectly normal sound to make.

[At least it is for him.]

[pyrighteous]

Child noises for a needy child of a brother. I'm surprised you tolerate him.

[neonleon]

Dude, he's my twin. There's no "tolerating" at all.

[pyrighteous]

[ Belos makes an annoyed noise ... then looks a bit more thoughtful. ]

He's the only one with a solid plan. We'll simply have to remove him.

[neonleon]

[Thinking about that for two seconds and that expression of smugness is gone.]

Don't.

[pyrighteous]

You can't stop me. It's clear the time for subtlety has passed.

[neonleon]

[Trying to tug his arm free from the shell for thr nth time but it's still unmoving.]

I mean, if you wanna have a ton of people pissed sure.

[pyrighteous]

[ scoffs ]

The other brother is too stupid. And I'm extremely experienced in disposing of grimwalkers quietly.

[neonleon]

And then you have all of Robin's Egg, and if you go after Hunter then you deal with Mouse. Way more than a few.

[pyrighteous]

People vanish all the time. I'll just make sure they wind up in one of those plants afterwards.

[neonleon]

You really think you've thought this through. You'll still lose though.

[pyrighteous]

Oh? Is the alternative better? Them coming in here to find all of my preparations?

[neonleon]

Honestly!? Yeah. They can handle it.

[pyrighteous]

Please. I have complete control. They would never find their way back out.

[neonleon]

They know me a lot better than you do. They'll figure it out.
