well, this is gonna be a real pain in the ass

so, did you manage to survive the aerie or were you out here the entire time?

[scrlies]

Was anyone on Earth outside the whole time?

( "i'm new" in a world where newcomers aren't really the norm sounds like a bad way to start whatever this is. )

[hiyakai]

not that i'm aware of
but it looks like everyone who died has returned from the other side

also
you know, newbies

[scrlies]

Newbies?

( kai you're not supposed to just tell people you scrub. )

[hiyakai]

[ kai gives like zero fucks here, buddy. ]

yeah
newbies

i take it you aren't one of them then

[scrlies]

How long have you been here?

[hiyakai]

depends

are we including the aerie in this or not?

[scrlies]

Not including the Aerie.

[hiyakai]

long enough to have plenty of complaints
but not long enough for this city to feel like home

[scrlies]

Where were you before?

[hiyakai]

tsk tsk

you first, adam

[scrlies]

I never said I was someplace else.

[hiyakai]

i never said that you were

[scrlies]

So it's a little hard to answer the "where were you before" bit if I was never somewhere else before.

[hiyakai]

then why didn't you just say so?

i guess i just find your response
a little defensive, maybe?

i'm not doubting you, of course
i'll believe anything you tell me

[scrlies]

You would trust a complete stranger?

[hiyakai]

you aren't a stranger

you're adam parrish who's never been somewhere else (:

[scrlies]

So where were you before?

[hiyakai]

would you believe me if i told you i was in hell?

[scrlies]

( considering he's been faced with actual demons before-- )

Yes.

[hiyakai]

why?

[scrlies]

Why would you lie about it?

[hiyakai]

why do you think i wouldn't lie about it?

[scrlies]

There's no benefit in it for you.

[hiyakai]

most people would take it as a joke
