I don't have enough of a read on Charles yet so I'm just assigning him this classic Jan character shitpost for now

... Well, it's good to see you again, Luke. Sort of. [a beat] Looking at you like this is so strange...

[rav3n]

I would've picked something different myself, but it could be worse.

[At least he knows robots so it's not like Dion got stuck as this or something

But also it's affection week, so he reaches out to squeeze Charles's arm.]

It's good to see you too. [...] I'm really sorry. About what happened.

[He didn't mean to explode right next to your salad]

[riverbeans]

I can only imagine how surprised Shoma was to see another Roboji around...

[... but at the next bit, his expression turns more serious.]

... You don't need to apologize for that, you know.

[SIR DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR DYING]

[rav3n]

[Well, listen]

No, I do. [...] The pain you all were in--that was my fault, wasn't it?

[He does not know for sure that it ended when he mcsploded but like.]

[riverbeans]

... Probably, but I really don't think any of us were holding that against you.

[rav3n]

You'd have every right to.

[HALF OF THEM WERE HAVING PANIC ATTACKS. YURI WAS CATATONIC]

[riverbeans]

[IT'S FINE DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT]

Even if we did, it's been weeks. It's not like we're still living in the ghost of that pain or anything. You're fine, Luke.

[rav3n]

[He looks unconvinced in low-poly... but he doesn't want to talk about it anymore so he will let it go.]

You've been alright, though? All things considered.

[riverbeans]

[a slight shrug]

... About as well as one can be around here, I suppose. You've all been watching us, right?

[rav3n]

Yeah. [A beat.] Why are you all animals so often?

[riverbeans]

[sheepishly, as he shrugs,]

I guess we all like cursing each other?

[rav3n]

[Looks back at all the curse doxxing

Yeah

He shakes his head, though he looks a little amused.]

I guess it's not a bad way to keep people's minds off of things.

[riverbeans]

Well, it certainly accomplishes that. Some of the curses aren't so bad, at least.

[rav3n]

Yeah, that's true. [Not everyone becomes as worm... sometimes you just have a jaunty little tune.] ...But you guys have had most of what you need besides all of that, right? Aside from...

[The inevitability of the weekend horror show]

[riverbeans]

... Well, we have food, shelter, entertainment, and company, so that's about the basics met to keep ourselves sane. [a beat] And we got a bunch of dogs this week, so that's nice.

[rav3n]

You did? [Woah... he's jealous...]

[riverbeans]

You guys are really missing out...

[rav3n]

Yeah...

[HE HASN'T SPENT TIME WITH DOGS SINCE (REDACTED)... WEH...]

But it could be worse. We've been keeping busy.

[riverbeans]

[noooo luke... may you have more dogs in your future...]

Heh, it sounds like it. You guys have been doing your best to keep us informed in HER-MES, I've noticed.

[rav3n]

[He deserves to be with his brethren it's true]

Mm, I saw your messages too. [...He thinks about the insane weirness on HER-MES and adds--] Not all of them are from us, though.

[riverbeans]

[deadpan,]

What about the one about my ass?

[rav3n]

[LIFTS HIS HANDS IN PIXELLATED SWEATINESS]

I have no idea who's thinking about your ass.

[riverbeans]

I'll take your word for it.

[rav3n]

If I find out who it was, I'll let you know, I promise.

[riverbeans]

Thanks, because now that I brought it up, I'm actually wondering about it.

[WHO YELLED ABOUT HIS ASS IN PUBLIC!!]
