-sorry. I've got a pretty good idea by now that ours is... comparatively, it's not anywhere anybody wants to go.

[the city is a ~*hellscape*~.]

Not gonna ask if you'd rather just-- try and forget about it.

[naeddre]

[a pause, and then:]

It doesn't matter. [nothing does!]

[verminous]

It matters if it was that hard on you all.

[naeddre]

... I can't do much else but keep going. This place will not stop for me.

[verminous]

-yeah. I know the feeling.

Can at least spare a little time to stop and breathe before you have to pick yourself up and go, though.

[naeddre]

[looks down at her leg.]

I suppose I have to.

[verminous]

...Should be able to replace it like Sidon did with his arm, at least.

[naeddre]

Mm. [...] Would've been nice if it had grown back.

[verminous]

It would, but-- being able to do that has its own downsides.

[as he's pretty sure she knows, if she had that arm.]

[naeddre]

[haha! ha!!!!!!]

... Yes. [a beat.] Did you kill who did that to you?

[verminous]

[haha...

he's silent for a few moments.]

...No.

[naeddre]

You should have.

[verminous]

I can't.

[naeddre]

[eyebrow raise. she doesn't ask, but she'll let him elaborate if he wants.]

[verminous]

That woman... I've never been able to go against her.

[a little shake of his head.]

Don't think I'd ever even get close to her, unless it was part of her plan.

[naeddre]

[okay but we killed her with a car, so obviously you just need to run her over really hard]

What woman?

[verminous]

Hermann.

[man if ONLY he could hit her with the vore bus.]

She's a Corp director now. Only ever got more powerful, after everything.

[naeddre]

[you know i'm not sure if they ever figured out who that woman was that they exploded it was really just like approaches and murders]

... After everything?

[verminous]

[help YEAH YOU PRETTY MUCH DID]

The Corp she was a researcher at, when... she did this-- they lost the war. Folded and got replaced. But somehow she came out ahead anyway.
