Re: Martin Blackwood

[cactusy]

How bad are you doing?

[lonelynotforsaken]

I mean, I'm pretty rough still, but physically, I'm a lot better now we've got to the river. We need a stable source of food, but the water was the biggest issue.

[And because he can't seem to help himself:]

Emotionally, really, really bad, but... holding it together, you know?

[cactusy]

Yeah, I meant emotionally. That sucks. Sorry about that.

[lonelynotforsaken]

It is what it is. A lot was happening back home before I got here. And not finding Jon with me is just... If he's actually dead, I don't know what I'm going to do.

[cactusy]

You're gonna keep going. Even when it really sucks.

What was happening back home?

[lonelynotforsaken]

The apocalypse.

[Oh. Oh, no.]

Jon became a conduit for the eldritch entities causing it. And I-I had to stab him. Right before all of this. It was supposed to purge them from our universe, but it, um... it-it was sending them all to other universes. This one, maybe. But he was supposed to be okay. He wasn't supposed to die. It was just a knife. He's the Archivist, the most-the most powerful thing a person in our world could be. Stabbing him wasn't supposed to kill him.

Oh, god. I don't know why I- Oh, god! Ohgodohgodohgod!

[salamanca]

Fuck, marry, kill: Cohle, Jet, Squalo. Go!

[lonelynotforsaken]

I- what? Jet's the only one I've ever actually seen. I don't know!

Um... M-marry Jet. Have sex with... Squalo. Kill... Cohle? I'm sorry! But he's a police officer and I think he's older, and I don't know!

[salamanca]

[ Dies laughing and claps Martin on the back approvingly. ]

Say no more, say no more! I'll let Detective Cohle know you don't care if his corpse sinks into the ocean...

But Jet, eh? Is it when he saved you? Is that when you fell in love? Or is it the biceps?

[lonelynotforsaken]

That's not what I said. None of that is what I said! I like Cohle more than I like you. Cops are just- I've had some bad experiences with them, okay?

And Jet's- yes, he's attractive, I have eyes. But he's also, like... 10 years younger than me, probably. And I'm in love with Jon. My actual boyfriend.

[salamanca]

[ LAUGHS EVEN HARDER ] Buddy, I'm pretty sure you like the asshole who brought us here better than you like me! That doesn't mean anything. Am I right or am I right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I get it. You love your boyfriend. Your love is written in the stars. Very touching. Very sweet. But in the meantime, he's not here and like you said — you have eyes.

New question! Favorite body part on... I don't know, let's say every guy here. Every adult guy. Not the jailbait.

I do know what you mean, though. About the cops. They're pathetic. Fuck 'em all.

[lonelynotforsaken]

The asshole who brought me here is a group of eldritch entities beyond human comprehension. So, no. You get to be higher on my list of things I like more than that. At least you haven't spent the entirety of human existence tormenting random people to feed yourself.

And it really, really varies what I like about different guys. It's usually not even the way they look. It's their personalities. Eyes are what I notice first, at least. And if they've got a-a sort of, um... broody disposition.

cw: suicide/ideation...

[aluminumandash]

[ UNDEFEATED ]

Detective. [ Just a factual correction. ] I'd do it myself if I could.

...and if I weren't in the middle of something, back home.

cw: suicide/ideation...

[lonelynotforsaken]

I don't- I don't actually want you dead. That's just the way that game's killed. I'm sorry. You're all right for a detective. But what are you in the middle of? A case?

[aluminumandash]

Don't worry about it. The living are a species of the dead and all that.

[ A hard pause. ] Yeah. Dead woman. Serial killer. We were...close to something.

[lonelynotforsaken]

[What a horrible way to think about that.]

Oh, gosh... that sounds awful. I-I mean, it's good you were close to someone. But... serial killers. J-just in general. It must be hard work.

cw: awfulness

[salamanca]

We're all in the middle of shit back home, Detective.

Do it anyway, if you're serious about it.

Re: cw: awfulness

[cactusy]

Dude.

[salamanca]

What?

[aluminumandash]

What're you in the middle of?

[salamanca]

Revenge. [ Doesn't miss a beat. Still chipper. ]

You, Detective?

[sharktrash]

Solid choice.

[ who's laughing not him he's trying on his new sex god tiara thanks ]

[lonelynotforsaken]

[He would really like to sink into the Lonely right now and never emerge again.]

You-you just seem too free-spirited for marriage.

[And unstable.]

[sharktrash]

[ understandable. good thing this is a meme or he'd never let you live this down ]

That's one way to put it. [ He's not even offended. ] 'Sides, we've both got other priorities. Wouldn't want to overstep.

[ As if boning other people is less of a boyfriend betrayal than marriage, but maybe he's got a point there. ]
