[ cool i didn't want to put us in a weird spot ]

I'm sure it'd make those with them unhappy. [ Frowning. ] And I'm guessing I can't make a request for a sword due to all of this, or at all since the beginning.

[holyspirits]

[ dont worry we have suffered going SHIT LORE REASONS so often ]

Right. Actual weapons aren't available off of the kiosk, and we can't provide you with them. Apparently cooking knives should've been on the list too. [ a little. exasperated, there. ]

[obdure]

I was encouraged to take a kitchen knife, so yes. I think they should have been considered.

[ does not tattle that it was Zuriel. ]

To be clear, I haven't taken one.

[holyspirits]

[ he doesn't need to tattle because they have a hand to their forehead like they can Guess who encouraged this ]

If people feel better when they've got some amount of protection, that's--fine. Especially after all this.

[obdure]

[ IT COULD BE ANYONE IN THEIR NUMBER!!! ]

So I may take a knife without repercussion.

[holyspirits]

[ IT COULD BE ANYONE BUT ENCOURAGED IMPLIES SOMETHING!! ]

If it makes you feel better. [ they sound wry ]

[obdure]

... It would only be used in self-defense, I assure you.

[ He doesn't intend to kill anyone. ]

[holyspirits]

If I thought otherwise, I wouldn't be going "yeah, sure, take the knife!", I'm not that encouraging.

[obdure]

I was trying to reassure you!

[ SOME PEOPLE HERE ARE INSANE!!! ]

[holyspirits]

[ there's just a small laugh ]

It's kind of borderline to go "promise I won't kill" to be reassuring, but thanks.

[obdure]

[ listen. ]

Not like I can find a solution to our problems.

[holyspirits]

No, that's not on you. [ a little more seriously ] But that you even want to means a lot.

[obdure]

Well, I wouldn't want my soul to be lost if I were to die again.

[ STAKES!! ]

This reminds me, should I be concerned about the egg... Moving?

[holyspirits]

[ looking... away... at the call out...

anyway; ]

Oh, no, that just means it's going to hatch soon. Not sure when, we didn't have an exact timeline, but it's a good thing.

[ :) yay friend ]

[obdure]

[ gives a look like that's something you better figure out, but anyway. ]

What does that even mean?

[holyspirits]

We said the egg was tied to your soul and it'd help you keep track of your redemption. It'd be hard for it to do that if it stayed an egg.

[ eggs hatch, damn. ]

[obdure]

... Put yourself in my shoes and think about what you said.

[ HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY!!!!!! SENSE!!!!!!!!! but eggs are expensive so they are precious ]

[holyspirits]

Does it make it better if I call it your soul companion?

[ no. why would it. ]

[obdure]

[ actually ]

It does.

[holyspirits]

Oh. Well, that's basically it, then.

[ they don't know why that worked ]

[obdure]

[ It's easier to understand that it takes shape of an egg to hatch into a critter to show you won the game than not...

Contemplating. ]

I don't think I've done anything to warrant a sign of progress.

[holyspirits]

Maybe it's not always obvious?

[ they don't know your life ]

Though some changes happen with time, too, since you've got a limited amount of it before the end.

[obdure]

[ yeah and because he knows his life he is dubious... ]

If you say so. That is all I have today. [ ... ] Do not stretch yourself thin.
