It-- well, it happens.

[he's not sure what else to say, honestly, just. resting here quietly, after that.]

[bulls]

[ you suffer but also neither does he. it takes a while but. ]

I did see you. When we were there, working to dispel the storm.

[verminous]

Huh-? I wasn't there, though-

...like the rift I was in showing me Yuri, in that life?

[bulls]

Mmmhm. A couple of others and you were there... in my dream.

The thing was trying to get us to remain... used your faces to keep us so that we'd be more... pliant to digestion, I think. Had us in some idyllic landscape full of water and sunlight...

I was able to cut myself free, but nearly didn't...

[verminous]

[used them to-

....

he's not going to linger on him saying that it-- nearly worked.]

But you did. You made it outta there.

[bulls]

Yeah... yeah.

Hands are a bit fucked, and my leg broke, but... hey, it was coming off anyways.

[verminous]

[instinctively looking at his hand as if this isn't a dream, before-- he remembers, setting it down sheepishly.]

There's worse things to break. Like your hands, doctor.

[bulls]

Just acid...

[ DO NOT JUST SAY THAT. he splays his hands briefly. they are still scarred up, about as much as they normally are, but yeah, you can't see any acid burns... bc dream. ] I ripped my way out with a scalpel I carry... had to rip the others out after. Worth it.

[verminous]

Just acid- I've been dissolved, Artemy, you can't 'just' that one.

[GOD. he's over here dead while this is happening to people he cares about it and it sucks.]

[bulls]

Okay okay... it was bad. But it didn't have that long to take... the suits saved us a worse fate, I think.

[ just flopping back tiredly. ]
