[onlyanapple]

Yeah.

One of them is from what I thought was a loss. This...other world where humanity was falling and he'd lost his angelic powers, pretty much. Not sure how he can exist as another person here...suppose it really was an actual alternate world.

[He coils up a little more. ]

Ugh. Neither better be shuffled onto the Pathstone.

[save_the_souls]

Wait...you mean that loss he had while you were stuck in my body for a bit? That's not just something the castle made up?

[Well. Shit then. That's not at all good.]

I hope not either. How many open spots do you have on there?

[onlyanapple]

That's the one. And nope, seems Paraidsa brought it from something that was actually real. Good job, Paradisa.

[Long exhaaaallle. ]

I don't know. I don't even know who half the people on my ship are.

[save_the_souls]

...Of course you don't.

[He gives a little sigh. He can't even be surprised. Normally he'd argue about it- but right now is so not the time. Instead he digs his communicator out of his coat pocket]

I'll check for you, okay?

[onlyanapple]

[Allen is the best, he loves you so much, Allen. SO. MUCH. ]

Thanks. I'd look but I'm lacking the appendages to do so and if I shift now I think I'll end up with six heads or something.

[save_the_souls]

Yeah, please don't do that.

[That's something he could live without seeing. But he'll take a moment to access Pathstone's roster...]

...Ah. Looks like you're in luck. Full capacity.

[onlyanapple]

[That's a little snakey exhale of relief. ]

Thank Someone. I didn't want to have to deal with all that bullshit. It was bad enough when there was a whole castle between us.

[save_the_souls]

Mm...no kidding. I wouldn't be able to deal with that.

[Being on the same ship as his ex who doesn't remember him? No Way. He'll power down his communicator]

I still can't believe they actually brought two of them in.

[onlyanapple]

[He lets out a long suffering sigh. ]

I know, what doesn't even make sense. Why would they do that at all? I mean, is it just for same-person shenanigans? Pretty sure that'll get old fast.

[save_the_souls]

[He rubs his chin]

I don't know, it seems to be working pretty well for Jim and Winter...

[onlyanapple]

[Dryly]

Well, whoop de do for them.

[save_the_souls]

[His shoulders slump a little]

Maybe they won't be here long. People come and go here too.

[onlyanapple]

We can but hope. I doubt it, though. Atroma enjoys the drama as much as Paradisa enjoyed screwing us over.

[save_the_souls]

Well that's easy. You can always starve off the drama by just not talking to them.

[...]

[Except this is Crowley, so...]

You...haven't talked to them, have you?

[onlyanapple]

Of course I talked to them.

Not about...that. But still.

[He basically never learns. Ever. ]

[save_the_souls]

[Groans]

Crowley, if you hadn't talked to them they wouldn't know a thing about you and there would've been no drama.

[YOU NEVER LEARN]

[onlyanapple]

[He coils inwards a little, letting out a huff. ]

I couldn't help myself.

[save_the_souls]

[Crowley.........]

Well, it's okay! We can still fix this! You didn't...let them know that you knew them, right?

[onlyanapple]

...

[Is it possible for a snake to look guilty? ]

Yes? But not how, exactly.

[save_the_souls]

Crowley...! [JESUS MAN.]

You know there's a reason humans often recommend cutting off ties with your ex...!

[onlyanapple]

M'not human, and neither is he.

Besides, I can't ignore them forever.

[save_the_souls]

I know you're not. [a human would be SMARTER about this most likely]

Why not? The fleet's gotten pretty big! There's lots of people I don't talk to.

[onlyanapple]

For reasons. Important reasons.

...That I will think of when I'm less drunk.

[save_the_souls]

[....]

Maybe I should call Ino.

[She could sort out this drunken mess of a moron better than he could]

[onlyanapple]

Ugh. She'll lecture me.

[Ino lectures are terrible. Don't do this to him, nephew.]
