A lot! That's where most of all the scratching and bites came from! [ When they came back, they were really a right mess. ] They thought if they killed us, maybe they'd be saved!
[He chuckles. He appreciates that she's just directly asking. This is why you're his favourite.]
The fish people get it in their head that the only way to save themselves is by killing the strangers wandering down whose intentions they don't know a thing about, they try it, get brutally murdered by the devil brat tearing them to pieces.
Like how the murderers inevitably done it because someone's dangled something they're desperate for, so the only solution they can see is to kill this other team, who they just know are a threat to them, which just inevitably leads to their sodding head on a pike.
Oh. But wasn't last week's just because the Ghost King was super petty?
[ She didn't bother visiting him. She just abandoned that bitch as soon as he was on the losing side. This coming week would end up being a bit different, though, given she liked Bertolt a little better. ]
Well, maybe. But I'm pretty sure he did get an offer. What, you think he's going to tell us shit? He hated the lot of us. And Baraq already told me they've got offers prepared for all of us.
[He shrugs, relaxing against the chair.]
Not at the moment, I guess. Give me time I'm sure I'll figure out something to spin into a tizzy over. Like the lack of sodding nail polish in these fucking cities.
Yeah. Probably mostly unwillingly, I don't think that's entirely false but I think it's the same boat as we are. They need something desperately and it's dangled in front of them, so they jump and do tricks.
Gotta give whoever's running the show points in that regard. But then again, Shamsiel and Suriel both seem like gullible morons to me, so.

[Not speaking from experience, shut up.]
Still, seems like you managed to hold your own without it. Kill anything interesting down there?

[ That sucks Spike, hello? ]
We killed a lot of weird-looking fishmen. They sounded like they wanted to die, anyway.

[It's no fun if they don't fight back, hello?]

He told you that? So they're totally in on it.
[ That's news to her. Though the nail polish bit does scatter her attention some. ]
Why do you care so much about nail polish?

[He chuckles at the nail polish question.]
It's called style, devil brat.

[ Not that she sounds particularly concerned about the actual morality of it all. It's more just because the odds are kinda stacked against them.
She points at Spike's hands, though. ]
Are you painting them?
no subject
[He just looks at his hands and raises an eyebrow.]
What, right now? No. 'Cuz we don't have any nailpolish.

Nail painting... she's heard of it... ]

[ I don't think she is one so I'll be gracious and say Power isn't a nailbiter, but her nails definitely aren't taken care of. ]
Is it fun?

You want me to show you how when we find some?
no subject
[ WHY SHE GOTTA SAY IT LIKE THAT. She does wiggle some more, though. ]
Yes! Show me these things! I want cute nails!
no subject
[He grins, he's not deeply bothered by the reaction because like. He's a monster. He'd be more offended if she'd been like "No, yeah, that tracks."]
I'll see if I can scrounge some up next week. Get those nails nice and snazzy.
no subject
Did you at least get free pizza?
[ Yeees. Nail plans. She's not girly but like, c'mon, now that it's in her sights she just decided on a whim she wants them nice nails. ]
