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.

[pyrighteous]

[ Belos just shakes his head. ]

Then why haven't they managed it already? They find it easier to believe in your cruelty than I was expecting.

[neonleon]

[He hesitated for just a second. Blinks thr idea out of his head (or tries to, another hair-tgread wrapping around his neck and tightening)]

They still know something's wrong.

[pyrighteous]

[ There we go. Belos takes a step closer to him.

And they think you're the part that's wrong. That your experiences made you into a monster.

[neonleon]

And they want to help. If that means they come in here and kick you out? Worth it.

[pyrighteous]

Then I'll just have to kill them first. It's tiresome waiting, anyway.
