chroma | catchall for damien

[countermeasures]

it's fun to not be canon familiar bc then i get surprised by cr

but it also sucks not to be because i have to wait to make visuals until i learn more through cr and that makes me more likely to forget to do them

You should be getting paid for this.

[countermeasures]

Normally I do.

[she manages a slightly tired laugh.]

...but normally I also have to pay for food and other living expenses, so I suppose it all evens out.

[highrisk]

Oh, right. Rent and stuff.

Still getting used to that.

[countermeasures]

To not having to pay it?

[highrisk]

More like... I was still getting used to having to pay it. Before coming here.

[countermeasures]

Oh... so it'll take even more getting used to once you get back, since we don't have to do it here.

[highrisk]

Yeahhhh. Not looking forward to that, but...

Still better than being stuck.

[countermeasures]

Yes.

[...]

...do you mind if I ask you how you sustained your injuries?

[highrisk]

[ hrmmm ]

... The last room we went into separated us. And I got attacked by someone.

[countermeasures]

[specific.]

...it was just a straightforward attack? There aren't any other complications with your wounds that I should be prepared to treat?

[did whoever attacked him have their blade tipped with poison!!]

[highrisk]

[ yes and im dying in 3 tags--no ]

Nah, no complications. I mean, she stabbed me. And bit my throat.

Pretty straightforward.

[countermeasures]

[my dude]

"She"? But it was only the four of you who came back...?

[highrisk]

Right. And we got back and she was fine and said she wasn't there, so - I don't know what the deal is with that.

[countermeasures]

...someone was there, or else you wouldn't have come back hurt.

[someone in her form...? i do not actually know who "she" is because capitalism was kicking my ass and i haven't read all of the return threads weeps]

[highrisk]

[ he's happy to not clarify so it's fine!!!! :) ]

... Right. Then maybe they were tricking us to look like someone else? A shapeshifter?

[countermeasures]

...it's not impossible.

[highrisk]

No. It's not.

[countermeasures]

...we'll find out one way or another, I'm sure. This is not something any of us can afford to look away from.

[highrisk]

That's what I've been saying since we got here, and everyone's been acting like I was overreacting.

[countermeasures]

[???]

...it doesn't seem like an overreaction to me.

[highrisk]

[ he's a hypocrite because he also had a nice time chilling at the party yesterday but ]

None of us should be getting as comfortable as people have been.

[countermeasures]

...we shouldn't be getting complacent, I agree with you there.
