[as the instructions sink in]

Oh—heck.

[takeyoutochurch]

[swears under his breath]

Well ain't this just the sourest pickle we're in.

[liveslaughsloves]

It—don’t have to be that bad, probably…

[as he weighs sacrificing his performance instantly]

[takeyoutochurch]

[he sees the look on that face]

It don't have to be anythin' bad, so don't try anythin' funny.

[liveslaughsloves]

[goes for the nearest potion case immediately]

[takeyoutochurch]

[ATTEMPTS TO TACKLE HIM AWAY FROM THE POTIONS he wasn't expecting it though so his reaction time is a little slow]

[liveslaughsloves]

[he is tackled to the ground and the vial breaks in his metal fist but he can still whip that to his mouth and drink what drips down

absolute command potion lol]

[takeyoutochurch]

[he doesn't get a good look at what potion Eriks snagged because he's too busy grappling him]

DON'T JUMP RIGHT INTO DOIN' SOMETHIN' STUPID, NOODLE NOGGIN!!!

[liveslaughsloves]

[paffs him on the cheek with the hand not full of glass lol]

Y’ain’t allowed to go for seven points. It’s not stupid.

[takeyoutochurch]

WHO EVEN SAID I WAS GONNA DO THAT, HUH?!

[shakes him by the shoulders :/]

[liveslaughsloves]

[he rattles against the train floor like a big muppet]

—I had to be sure.

[takeyoutochurch]

[stops shaking him so he can scowl at him]

Idiot. If points are bein' averaged then one point ain't even gonna make much difference.

[liveslaughsloves]

I don’t give a damn about the numbers, I care about you givin’ up something like permanence.

[takeyoutochurch]

Like I'd be stupid enough to do somethin' like that. Ya think I'm a glutton for punishment? Be realistic. Between the two of us, I was more worried about yer ass tryin' to pull that stunt.

[liveslaughsloves]

[winces]

I don’t—I didn’t not think about it.

[takeyoutochurch]

Exactly. The only reason ya thought I might try it is because ya were thinkin' of tryin' it first.

[liveslaughsloves]

[sulking]

…maybe if it was like, an all or nothing, I’d do that. But it don’t sound like that at all.

[takeyoutochurch]

I want visions, but I don't need 'em that badly. Don't need to win that badly either, so long as we get out in one piece.

[liveslaughsloves]

Yeah…

[sighs]

—you want ‘em?

[takeyoutochurch]

[freezes like this is a trick question]

—I don't.

[liveslaughsloves]

You just said.

[takeyoutochurch]

...I want 'em. But I don't need 'em. Not if it's at the cost of someone gettin' hurt.

[liveslaughsloves]

Okay.

Don’t worry, I’m not gonna use it as an excuse to go nuts or anything. I just wanted to know. Even if a lot of them can be bad, huh?

[takeyoutochurch]

Mm. Most of 'em suck. But...they're still mine, ya know? And I'd like to know what happened.

[liveslaughsloves]

…yeah, that’s fair.
