After over a hundred loops, you get very familiar with all the rules and setups.
[ is that a good thing? probably not. but they're familiar with it, accustomed, and have accepted their life to be that so. ]
Was it almost always you and Alex? [ they know he wasn't technically the center of the loops, that it was rather Alex but. ] Did any of the others start to notice over time or become a bit aware like you? Or was it only you?
I'd hope so, but...it's still not a great thing to be familiar with either.
[ thinking this over...he shrugs. ]
It was always me and Alex, yeah. We spent pretty much that whole night together, so when the loops would happen we were both there. I'm pretty sure the others didn't notice. It took me a while to catch on, but none of them ever said anything when we caught up with them again.
[ me shaking setsu to stop being content with their loops. ]
So no one else... Have the both of you always been together? [ for what reason was is it only those two? was it an interaction they had? like Setsu themselves and their companion with the silver key? ]
Yeah. I mean we got to the island together and we left together, so...it was always us. When we were all split up, Alex and I wound up together. So we traveled everywhere exploring and looking for everyone and encountering the loops as they showed up.
...I'm glad you have each other. It's nice to not have to face everything alone.
[ which is said geuninely. after all, Setsu has always had someone that was with them in their own loops. maybe... a couple where they were alone. but those pale in comparison to the rest. ]
Yeah, I...kind of think so, too. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have survived that night if she wasn't around.
[ which he can casually admit without explaining much detail. it's more matter-of-fact than anything. where there was alex, there was jonas, and vice versa through that entire ordeal. ]
[ they look at him then with a thoughtful look, thinking about their words, and maybe there is something they kinda want to say... but they set it aside to smile a little ]
You both make a good team.
[ they think Jonas and Alex support one another quite well, like a balance. though now they're distracted as the area below seems to clear out. remember when we were supposed to steal a rod? pole? anyways ]
Looks like now is a better time than any. You ready? [ come back in one piece or i lose it. ]
[ he tilts his head a little, but he doesn't follow up on that. whatever thoughts they want to have, those are their own.
instead, he's watching the arena and he's getting up to approach closer. ]
Should be clear. I'll be in and out in no time. You can even time it if you want. [ it's a joke, but since this is a monday thread, i will say he does get to nyoom in via a teleport! nothing comes to eat him or bother him, but he's also pretty quick in his work? he selects an appropriate sort of pole and more or less dawdles for the thirty second cooldown period before teleporting back to them. ]
[ it's a joke, but when he comes back? they wave their phone a little at him with a stopwatch timer on display. yeah! though, they're smiling a bit widely, clearly joking around.
they will set their phone away after the joke, coming to inspect the pole and nod happily. ]
Yes. This will work perfectly. Just a matter of getting my hands on some string and it'll be good to go.
[ he does nosily look at the stopwatch just to see before he waves it off, handing over pole. is there a blade on it? we don't know. ]
Where do you think we're even going to find string around here? It shouldn't even be that hard. [ ...and then belatedly: ] You know we probably could have just asked the reapers if we could buy a fishing pole.
...no you're not wrong about that. I mean I haven't done a lot of fishing myself, but I don't think trying to figure it out on our own's that bad either. There has to be ribbon or something somewhere. If not the gift shop...we can check IKEA?
[ me like i Could wrap this thread up so i can prepare for a friday one but i'm afraid you're dead so i will keep this thread alive ]
Hehe, if that's the case, we should fish together as soon as we're able to. I can show you what I know. [ they nod at the suggestions. ] Do you wanna head there now? If not, it can be another time, we can go relax at the park instead.
I'm still trying to figure out how you can fish in space, but maybe I should stop being surprised. [ but...hm. ] Let's see what we can do. May as well.
