[WELL HE WAS A GHOST FOR A WHILE BUT THEN HE SPENT AN HOUR TRYING TO WASH OFF HIS GHOST BLOOD SO NOW HE'S SOLID AGAIN and dressed in a new outfit and waddling around with a blanket over one arm and a piping hot mug that he's just holding with his hand around the cup instead of the handle.]
Oh, yes! I feel perfectly wonderful, and I'm sure the others will very soon, too!
Oh, it was terrible! [OF COURSE IT WAS.] But even though everyone is having a little bit of a hard time right now, I know they'll all pick themselves back up!
Well! We died, and then I died, and I have no idea what happened to everyone else, but I'm fairly certain given the scenario that they also died? We were dealing with troublesome people from home... But it's fine!
Well, it was quite violent, so I am not sure. You were beheaded? Diluc-sama just walked right up to Shouxue-sama and died, for some reason, I am not sure why he decided to do that.
Is that what happened? [HELLO. His hand reflexively reaches up to touch his neck which still has the ring of scar tissue from when he was beheaded by Scien, goddamn.] ...I'm not sure why he did that, either! The last thing I remember was dying in Monsieur Luke's lap, but they were all still back in the other room...
[The spirit of demented optimism briefly leaves him and he just looks faintly upset, his brow pinching a little.]
Right... Monsieur Scien and I were going to brief the group on what to do in these situations, or ones where everyone came back unconscious and couldn't give consent, and we were going to leave access with Monsieur Luke and Monsieur Eunhyuk if things went awry like this, but we didn't get the chance.
[Pre-endgame week just happened too much and so he got decapitated again. HE PINCHES THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE AFTER SAYING THIS, THOUGH.]
I don't know why anyone would think decapitating a person in front of a group would be the best way to go, though.
[HE LOVES GREGOR BUT HE'S ASTOUNDED BY PEOPLE'S INABILITY TO REACT CALMLY IN HIGH STRESS SITUATIONS. Owner should have snapped his neck damn.]
At least we are all mostly used to seeing death at this point, but... another method would have been preferable.
[ like, at least it didn't happen and that was someone's first death they witnessed, but also. owner really just watched it all happen like HUH... WELL.... OK.... ]
[IT REALLY FUCKING WASSSSSS JUST WHOLEASS DECAPITATE THE GREEN BEAN AND LET HIS HEAD ROLL ACROSS THE KITCHEN FLOOR. Dahut just sighs. People need to get their shit together when it comes to euthanizing the dying, damn.]
Maybe we should have a group chat about this after all, even though the end seems like it's drawing close...
Oh, I'm so glad to hear that! [GENUINELY MOVED (BY THE SPIRIT OF INSANITY).] You keep your chin up too, Monsieur Owner! There's not a thing to worry about.

[HE SAYS, BEHAVING VERY NORMALLY AFTER A CYOA.]
no subject
Why do you feel wonderful?
no subject
Mm? Well, I just know that everyone will be able to bounce back in no time with how strong they are, so there's really no reason not to!
[Leaks his toxic optimism everywhere.]
no subject
Well, we are certainly a resilient bunch, so that is true. How was your trip?
no subject
Oh, it was terrible! [OF COURSE IT WAS.] But even though everyone is having a little bit of a hard time right now, I know they'll all pick themselves back up!
no subject
Did anything in particular happen?
no subject
[IS IT.]
no subject
[ that explains not a single thing ]
no subject
Mm! I know our return caused a little bit of a stir, but I'm sure everyone else will be alright given just a bit of time, too!

You all left it extremely injured, but no one knew where those... shots? Were.

[BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY he thinks before they all decide to unleash almost 20 naked guinea pigs on the living and also lie to Viktor for no reason.]
no subject
Well, for now, do you need anything?
no subject
Oh - no, but thank you very much! It'll just take a little bit of time and support before everyone's right as rain.
[As the spirit of insane optimism carries him away again.]
no subject
Yes. That is... indeed what will happen. You are really giving me hope.
no subject
no subject
Oh, I definitely will. Thank you for being a guiding light.
