[i don't know if he's sticking to sobriety or not but he can always just drink water if they're at a bar so, let's say they're at a bar for now and if he decides to break his vow i will have him order booze midthread
anyway. he's here, slumped over the bar, looking dead inside. but he sits up when he hears tuuri approaching.]
My older brother was actually supposed to go on the same expedition I'm on. But he chickened out at the last moment. He didn't want me or our cousin going at all, so I had to promise him that we would be back in the spring.
I...I would like to keep that promise, if I could.

But I think everyone is right now.

Date: 2023-02-26 02:41 am (UTC)[it would have been easier if it had been on purpose.]

Date: 2023-02-26 02:44 am (UTC)...I couldn't vote for him. I ended up just putting someone else's name there.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 02:46 am (UTC)[but not enough, apparently.]
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 02:50 am (UTC)It's probably better it didn't work. We would all feel worse if someone innocent had been voted out, Lavi included.

Date: 2023-02-26 02:51 am (UTC)[he sounds a little bitter.]
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 02:57 am (UTC)[Honestly? Mood.]
A lot of people liked both him and Micah. We're going to be feeling the loss of both of them.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 03:02 am (UTC)[sighs deeply.]
S'not gonna be the same without both of them here. But, it hasn't been the same without anyone we've lost.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 03:05 am (UTC)[She sighs.]
Is this going to happen every week until that stupid party?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 03:12 am (UTC)[he sighs.]
Guest list is twenty, and we're gonna be at twenty-five after tomorrow. At the rate we've been going...
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 03:14 am (UTC)[He's probably right, three more weeks of murder trials.]
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 03:18 am (UTC)[he sighs. unless multiple people decide to get their murderhands on and we have a body pileup, that timing's about right.]
Ugh, this sucks.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 03:22 am (UTC)You...have a life to get back to after this, right? Somewhere to be, somewhere happy?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 03:55 am (UTC)[pathetic!!]
What about you...? The fact that you're asking about this makes me worried.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 04:03 am (UTC)[She is pretending she didn't hear that last part whoops]
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 04:07 am (UTC)I hope you get the chance to. Let's both get the hell out of here.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 04:10 am (UTC)[She's trying to smile. Trying.]

Date: 2023-02-26 04:15 am (UTC)[he smiles, then holds out a pinky to her. pinky promise!]
Here, I'll make one too. I'll do whatever I can to help you get out of here.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-26 04:22 am (UTC)She holds up her pinky too, but doesn't link them quite yet.]
Only if you let me help you get out of here too. It's a team effort, you hear me?
