Hey. You hanging in there?

[vermintide]

i'm ok [ ish. ]

are you?

[gipper]

Yeah.

[ ish. for as much as he can be whenever he loses someone else from the team. ]

You hear about Digger?

[vermintide]

he's gone [ in every sense of the word. ]

you don't have to be okay you know
you don't have to be the colonel [ she can understand if that helps him but he shouldn't feel confined by it. ]

[gipper]

[ he knows she has good intentions in those words. but he doesn't know what else he could be if he isn't that, if he isn't the colonel who's supposed to take care of everyone.

considering what's happened to him, what else does he have left? ]

It's my job. I'm here to look after you guys.

[ even if he's not too sure he's doing a good job at it anymore. ]

[vermintide]

We can look after you too
I think we all wish we had

I do

[ She could have stopped it. Besides Peacemaker, only she saw Flag's body before rubble buried it. Of the entire squad, no one had more of a chance to save him than she did. She failed. ]

[gipper]

[ cleo had been one of the last faces he'd seen, unaware of what had happened to her when the tower had begun crashing down. it was only later, from harley, that he'd learned she'd made it out, granting him a release of relief he hadn't known he'd needed, a sliver of hope after his own had dissolved to nothing.

but he wonders what it is she might have seen before she'd escaped there. how she'd been able to tell everyone what peacemaker had done. ]

What happened wasn't your fault.
I made my bed a long time ago, Cleo.

[ working for waller, he had the chance for an out. doing her bidding until it was far too late to make the alternative choice, that's on him. ]

[revvedup]

[vermintide]

i'm sorry
i thought people should know what they were doing to you

[revvedup]

Dear Cleo,

I have acquired a security job at an art gallery. If you wish to pay me a visit there, I am unsure whether Sebastian would be allowed in. There is no "no rats" policy I am aware of but I do not know how my boss feels about rats.

I do hope I see you soon. I should not admit this but I miss holding your hand.

Sincerely,
Matthias

[vermintide]

good for you!!
what gallery? i would love to visit you, no one will notice Sebastian
i miss your hands too

[ aherm ]

holding them

sincerely
Cleo

[babink]

Dear Cleo,

It is called Galleria Charis. It is in the Up.

You must make an effort to hide Sebastian. I do not want to throw you out for making someone scream.

It pleases me to hear you feel the same.

Sincerely,
Matthias

[vermintide]

i will
though i would like to see you try and throw me out

what kind of art do they display?

curiously
Cleo

[babink]

Dear Cleo,

I suppose you would set your rats on me? It would not be fair of you to use the rat stick.

The artistic kind. [ He has no idea. Why does he have to know? His job is to guard it, not to know what it is he is guarding. ] Most importantly, it is a respectable establishment, unlike the rest of the businesses in this city.

Sincerely,
Matthias

[vermintide]

it would not be fair of you to use your big muscles on me
this would make us even
don't worry they will only tickle you

so i take it art itself is not an interest of yours

creatively
Cleo

[ now she's just signing with random words. ]

[shitplan]

what is your favorite color?

( yes, she's just going to pop into cleo's inbox with a random question. she'll get to her point eventually. )

[vermintide]

[ this is not the point? this is a fine point ]

yellow
what's yours?

[shitplan]

oh black, red, it depends on the day

why yellow?

[vermintide]

dandelions
i would make wreaths out of them when i was little

why black and red?

[shitplan]

that is cute
i never did that.

because the colors go with everything
yellow is not bad though
just not my color
my hair is enough

[vermintide]

your hair is beautiful
black and red flowers would look very pretty in it
poppies and elderberries
