[damp]

[ gimme ]

[obdure]

[ gives you words against jacopo's will ]

[damp]

[ becomes insanely sad again

actually, i'm playing someone who wouldn't act tough

starts crying ]

[obdure]

[ HELLO??

Hands him a handkerchief. ]

[damp]

[ SORRY ]

Sorry! Shit. [ Rubs his eyes. ] That was just... [ Wait, takes a moment not to centre his feelings. ] Jacopo... was that you?

[obdure]

Go back to crying and talk to me when you're done.

[damp]

[ looks briefly aghast at how rude that was ]

[obdure]

[ Is quiet for him to go through his emotions. ]

[damp]

[ no one is saying anything and that's making him anxious ]

Do you want me to leave?

[obdure]

I didn't say that.

[ ... ]

But it's your choice. I really don't care.

[damp]

[ almost deletes this entire thread ]

You don't? That I saw all that?

[obdure]

... I suppose I'm uncomfortable, but I think everyone is during this week.

It's fine. There's not much I can do about it and not much you can do about it.

[damp]

That's a really logical answer.

[ It makes all the worse when you tell him it's okay to be emotional three days later... ]

But I guess, you feel like that's not really you anyway?

[obdure]

[ Rin... You don't know... But Jacopo is a trainwreck of a person and is doing his absolute best to cover that up. ]

Right. It's like watching a movie, except... It feels familiar. [ ... ] What we saw may seem tragic, but in a way the ending is desired.

I don't agree with tossing your life away, but there's a want to continue even if it's to make amends.

[damp]

[ He really thinks that Jacopo is this prim and proper young man who always remains cool-headed. ]

With that girl, Morgana. [ He nods. ] Do you know of they—you?—ever met again?

[obdure]

[ he saw him lose his mind over the stupidest things... ]

... I don't know. [ But he smiles, maybe one that is bittersweet. ] But perhaps it's better to never cross paths.

[damp]

But... you wanted to apologize, didn't you?

[ well, that is probably more for jacopo than morgana. and this jacopo doesn't remember so maybe it doesn't matter. ]

[obdure]

I guess I did and I made attempts.

[ At least based on what they saw. ]

I don't think I would have gone anywhere if I didn't, but... I am here without recollection, so I can only assume how I'm here. Not in this murder game, but you know. [ Existing as he is rather than existing in how the memory depicts? ] Or perhaps I'm here to atone. That would be funny, wouldn't it?

[ His smile stays quirked, though lopsided. He does think it's humorous? ]

[damp]

I think you should be done atoning by now.

[ He's still... unsettled, and sighs. ]

It'd probably be better not to even remember any of that. I hope you at least got some good memories out of it too.

[obdure]

[ He should be done, huh. ]

Then this is all just me being unlucky.

[ Being here in this murder game? Is it not a curse? He doesn't seem that bothered by it, but it's four weeks in already. You have to get used to things. ]

Good memories during this week? That would be nice if they get broadcasted instead, even though I'd rather not have my memories blasted out there.

[damp]

If your issue is being unlucky, then at least you're in good company.

[ Poor Rupert and Caiman. ]

Me too, but... some of the ones I've seen aren't that bad. [ ... ] Okay, just one.

[obdure]

[ A short laugh. They really are all unlucky. ]

Just one? [ ... ] Did you want to get it off your chest? I won't ask questions after.

[damp]

Oh, it wasn't mine. [ it was totty's ] My memories aren't that bad.

I mean... I'm just a kid who swims.

[obdure]

... You think it's rude to ask for a little laugh?

[ sorry totty ]

[damp]

[ Ponders. ]

One of his brothers went and got a haircut that he thought was really cool, but actually looked terrible.

So he and his other brothers agonized over how to tell him, except then a girl showed up and started brutally insulting his hair.
