In any case he's going to look back on this conversation when a few other people ask him about his sister tomorrow and wish everyone could have the same level of tact Aventurine has.]
She was unwell for a time. [Not the sick sister. A little wryly:] Even when the immediate danger has passed, it's impossible to stop worrying.
Lucas is grappling with this mood drop and preparing to toss it away like a frisbee though, because he hates 1) being the center of a conversational topic and 2) being responsible for bringing down the vibes. None of that here!!]
Thank you very much. I hope for the same, especially in that it would mean an end to our trial here.
[He is SO CLEARLY itching to ask more, but he also feels like "hey so why was it necessary to do a murder" isn't a great question to pitch to someone you've known for like two whole days.]
I'm sorry that you found yourself in such a situation... And so young, too.
[It's okay he's not going to point that out at ALL because he is 1) too polite and 2) doesn't want to acknowledge the truth of it for himself either.]
I wonder what the intention is... Unfortunately, I can't help but paint every aspect of this place in a concerning light, given the nefarious end goal.
I think that's the smartest thing you can do. My first thought was that this was meant to fracture us, but people have been more understanding than I'd initially given them credit for.
[ Everyone in this place (minus some people) are so good wtf. ]
Some could do with a little more suspicion... [SOME..........] But I'd agree, on a whole.
[I WAS GOING TO END THIS THREAD HERE BUT THEN YOU FUCKING DIED W0 SO I GUESS I'LL HOLD ONTO IT FOREVER IN MY LITTLE DEMON PAWS.]</small
Have you been getting along with the others here well enough, then?
Even a boring place has ways to make it interesting, but... Yeah. As concerning as our situation is, it's good to see the people here are keeping their spirits up.

Aventurine freezes, suddenly self-conscious of the possibility of something similar appearing on his own body, but he quickly recovers. ]
Is she... okay?
no subject
Aventurine can now live in fear knowing that he may be next... There's a little bit of thinness in his smile, but:]
She's doing better.
no subject
What happened to her? If you don't mind me asking, of course.

[Or being afraid.]
no subject
Anyway, this mood drop is crazy. Aventurine nods quietly, some part of him pained, but he musters up a small smile. ]
Well, I'm glad she's doing better. And I hope you can see her again soon.

We can go back to talking about burning the cursed Bible.
no subject
[Yeah time to burn the bible!! Except, he like. Hesitates for a second. And then:]
...I take it the word you've been given is one you don't wish to discuss.
no subject
Lay it on me. What does it say?
no subject
[He won't call Aventurine a murderer to his face... that says he's a murderer.]
no subject
Oh, that's not so bad.
no subject
...It isn't?
no subject
That was a long time ago... It was something necessary for my survival.
no subject
I'm sorry that you found yourself in such a situation... And so young, too.
[BABY AVENTURINE MURDERER.]
no subject
It's fine. It's hardly a passing thought these days.
[ Which is obviously untrue considering it keeps showing up on his body. ]
Though I suppose it helps us get to know a little bit more about each other.
no subject

His smile at that is faint but fond because unfortunately he's the type of idiot who gets attached quickly.]
Many here are kind and thoughtful, and will withhold judgment without understanding. It's not a terrible thing, though it's concerning in its own way.
[Why did the cultists choose the happy friendship group for their sacrifice!!!!]
no subject
... Maybe we're all thinking the same thing. Staying a healthy level of suspicious.
[ Until they blow up into full on paranoia. ]
no subject
Some could do with a little more suspicion... [SOME..........] But I'd agree, on a whole.

no subject
Oh. Sure. Some people are easier to get along with than others, but everyone's been kind for the most part.
[ EXCEPT BOOTHILL ]
no subject
I'm glad to hear it. I've found it much the same, myself... Some are a little rambunctious- [KARMA.] -but most are quite fine.
[And then Boothill becomes his own evil twin.]
no subject
[ HE DOESN'T KNOW THE KARMA LORE... EVERYONE SPEAKS ABOUT HIM LIKE HE'S PURE EVIL ]
It keeps the place lively.
no subject
Not fond of a boring place, then?
no subject
Even a boring place has ways to make it interesting, but... Yeah. As concerning as our situation is, it's good to see the people here are keeping their spirits up.
