[sictransitgloriamundi]

A group of entities that feed on human misery. They draw it out through a traveling carnival that grants humans their deepest desires.

[well that's what he thinks it's about, anyway.]

[decohere]

... ooooh. [that checks out.] So it was pretty formative, huh.

Does it have a happy ending?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

No.

[...]

[decohere]

Oh. [...]

But it didn't have Skulduggery in it, huh. So. [obviously that's the key to a happy ending.]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[almost a grin]

No, it did not. So.

[decohere]

[twirls a strand of hair, will just let that linger for a moment.]

He said you like me. Which is weird. But then I hear how your... meetings with others go. [including 6 but not saying it!]

But I told him it's his inherent bias. Because he likes me.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

I liked when you wanted to take the canoe back from camp. [beat] Most humans are predictable. I like the ones that aren't.

[decohere]

[considering hum] I'm sure you've seen most everything by now. Can't see how my poor impulse control and desire to make up for my lack of life is that interesting.

But now I'll worry that you'll think I'm trying too hard. To make you like me. And that it'll become predictable for me to... [sighs!]

Not often I get to tell him he's wrong, though. He promised me desserts every morning if he was.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[cocks head] How is he wrong?

[decohere]

Liking something that I did once isn't the same as liking me. As a person. If we're being technical. [come on she's so close to free cake for life]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

... I still don't really understand it. [liking things. things being nice. how you feel about something being a consideration at all.] But, I... think I like you. Probably. Under the standard definition.

[decohere]

[wait, thought she totally caught him in a gotcha, finger raised, mouth open... because if he liked her he'd say he didn't and let her have her cake and eat it too! or does his relationship with Skulduggery mean he's siding with him out of loyalty! is he purposefully sabotaging her cake dreams? no no no stop overly complicating, Ava. this is better than daily skeleton-delivered cake, right?]

Oh. Well I think I like you too. Even uh... [you kinda upset her boyfriend.]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Hm. Yes. [nods. yes, all the murders.]

[decohere]

[sighs and shrugs] He doesn't get along with Maximilien either.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[... oh okay cool he actually has no idea what this conversation is about.]

Really?

[decohere]

Mhm. Think it's that whole. Bond vs villain dynamic they're both channeling. Very much Max's aesthetic. Which is actually kinda cute? Except they don't like when I point that out.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[nods] I see. Interesting.

[he doesn't know what the fuck is happening.]

[decohere]

Anyway. [oblivious] I'm not going to be weird and ask you and Peter to get along, because that's your whole... business. And I know he's a little difficult. Skulduggery said I had a type and I thought he was referring to the suits but I think it might be the egos.

[where WAS she going with this?] Oh. But it'd be neat if you not call him Number 6? Otherwise I thought the gameshow was really great.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

I call everyone by their True Names, unless corrected. He didn't deign to do so, and thus... [a shrug]

... Was it great? [not like he cares or anything.]

[decohere]

[nods in understanding] Whether or not you intended to single him out and expose his secret in front of everyone. Unfortunately because of his past experiences, with his captors giving him that name. And the parallels here. It's hard for him to see it as anything but a deliberate attempt at provocation. And react to it rationally. That's all. [no real blame]

It was! I really liked the wheel. Even though it didn't do anything, it was a nice touch. And those were such weird prizes. [the highest compliment.] Really gave it a unique spin. So I guess that means we're tied.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

The wheel was for me.

[so

nods] Yep. Currently tied.

[decohere]

Ah. [withholds any comments about hamsters.] It looked fun to spin.

You get to pick the next game.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

It was.

[shakes head] It has to be the same game. You can't change the game before someone wins.

[decohere]

Ooh, that makes sense. I'm a bit rusty on following rules.

Were you ready for round two?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[nods]

I'm going to pick truth, because I don't want to expend any effort anymore.
