[slashay]

--Yeah, me too.

[Though there's a little flicker of guilt, because this had happened before he knew there were potentially life-saving gumballs to be had.]

It's something to keep in mind, anyway. That it's there as an option.

[9mon]

I will.

Thanks for letting me know.

[slashay]

No problem. S'better if we're all on the same page, right?

[9mon]

Yeah, definitely. We know more together than apart.

[slashay]

Mm, exactly! We're all basically just one big team, right?

[9mon]

Yeah. We all wanna know what's happening around here.

[slashay]

Mm... I think we're doing pretty good at keeping important information circulating, at least.

[9mon]

Yeah. That big group discussion this week helped a bunch.

[slashay]

I'm glad we can finally start to talk about stuff a little more openly, too. Like, I couldn't talk about that weird task thing on my phone after that first dream for weeks.

[9mon]

Are you still getting weird tasks?

[slashay]

Nope. They go hand-in-hand with the tattoos. If anyone's getting tasks outside of those, then I haven't heard about it.

[9mon]

The cute little piggy ones?

[slashay]

Nah... I thought it was just the piggies at first, but I think it's all of 'em.

[9mon]

So that means... November had one too, at least once.

[slashay]

Yeah, he did. Malik and Chinatsu both had piggies the week before, too... Before that it was Bubblegum and Ruby with November, and it was just me before them, but Ruby apparently had her dream that week, too.

[9mon]

[Should he... start being worried about the people who have these tattoos? Or are Malik and Chinatsu a one off?]

[slashay]

[Picking up on the vibes...]

You okay?

[9mon]

I'm just... worried.

[He's worried every week.]

[slashay]

...Yeah, I get you. Sucks when it feels like there's not much else we can do.

[Nothing to do but worry and wait.]

[9mon]

Yeah... It's hard being here sometimes.

[Especially during the weekends.]

[slashay]

[Yeah he's guessing it Extra sucks for the normies among them.]

Mm. ...We'll just keep taking it one step at a time until we can step on outta here, yeah?

[9mon]

Uh-huh. We will get out.

[He'll hang onto that.]

[slashay]

Totally.

[He's also DESPERATELY CLINGING TO THAT HOPE... But he'll reach out to ruffle Kumon's hair again before giving him a little patpat.]

But if you ever need to take a little break and rest, that's okay, too.

[9mon]

[Soothed with physical affection.]

... You too, right?

[slashay]

I will, don't worry about me.

[He will not but who here is actually good at taking care of themselves. Probably only like 3 people. God bless.]
