*Etc.*

*PR furrows his brow even more*

What's a human, could it have been that?

((EDIT: Retconned))

((Shit I fucked up I was thinking about the sleuths when I wrote that but they're prospitians.))
((How does Eridan know humans?))

((I suppose we could just retcon it?))

((Meh I guess. I don't really see another option.))

((We've been using human names for some NPCs, you know... that kinda implies that humans exist.))

((I thought we said that there are no humans?))

((If there are some humans, what's the argument agaist having the kids in the RP?))

((yeah lets just go with no humans but we some how managed to end up with human names))

you say that maybe pr is right, whoever took over your mind, they way they attacked eridan was different to how the other girls had died, its strange, they seem like different people


you might be wrong though

Well, if they just escaped from, like, hell or something, maybe the less feral ones are lying low for now?

You know, so that they don't get caught right away and brought back to hell.

*PR shrugs*

In fact, we don't even know if the murders are connected to those escaped spirits, it might just be a regular murderer who picked an unfortunate time to start.

*PR sighs*

I guess we're basically not any further in solving who the murderer is.

What should we do next?

you dont know about the troll and pr but you want to get back home, theres some things you need to do once you are healed up

you thank him for the offer but you are sure once the doctor lets you out you will be healthy enough to fend for yourself

you again thank him but you say you have been perfectly fine looking after yourself and your disabled mother since you were a child you doubt you need help looking after yourself now, besides, you've gone through worse than this and been healed in a slum hospital, the doctor should be able to attest to the scaring

you say you assumed the 'alone' hinted that your mother was dead


you say to pr that even if you did want someone to escort you home which you dont you wouldnt want a prospitian to take you home


no offence

you say with a smile

*2x Awkward Moment combo*

((hah))

((I'm tempted to have the Doc say, "I'm still here, but you don't have to talk to me anymore."))

*PR looks shocked and hurt*

What's wrong with being a Prospitan? The war between Derse and Prospit is over, is it not? So why the hostility? And why would you not want someone to excort you to your home to safety?

...

*PRs eyes narrow*

Are we sure she isn't possessed anymore? Maybe the ghost in her just learned to act more properly. This behavior is pretty suspicious.

*PR backs away a step and one of his hands moves to his hip*

you scoff


clearly pr doesnt know anything about life in the slums

hostilities didnt end with the war, carapaces remember things like that and pass them down to their children

you only had a mum for half your life and even you know never to trust a prospitian

they may always tell the truth but they know ways of twisting it to seem your friend

at least with dersites you expect treachery so you know where you are with them

you retort that since pr claims to live in the slums yet knows so little about the 'politics' of the slums that pr must be a spirit from prospit who died before they had a chance to see what life here is like

I don't really live in the slums and never said I did?

I moved here recently and have rented a room at the edge of the slums, untill I find a permanent home in the city.

Most Carapacians I've met in the slums were rather nice and helpful, except for the obvious criminals who tried to mug me.

Though I admit, in hindsight, maybe they were only so nice and helpful because they knew I have some money...

*PR straightens his back and lets his hand hang normally again*

I guess I can understand your concern, still, I do not feel confortable knowing a recently injured lady is walking through the slums on her own, with a killer running around there.

At least promise that you will spend some time here in the hospital so that you can really heal fully.

Maybe in that time I can come up with a solution that is neither uncomfortable for you nor worrying for me.

Is that a better proposal?

you say you were not planning on leaving until the doctor tells you that you are rested enough so there is no need to worry on that front


maybe we could overpower him if he tries anything on us, we have much more strength together than before we joined, he underestimates us


thats a good  point, you agree to his terms, albeit in a manner that makes it clear you wont accept, to keep up appearances if nothing more
