[ THAT ONE WAS YOU!! ]

Oh. Hello there.

[artificialsweetener]

[IT WAS ME...

Italian Arthur nods... Glances around... Holds out a hand...]

Please come with me.

[discomfort]

[ help.

owner will take italian arthur's hand. ]

Lead the way.

[artificialsweetener]

[AWAY THEY GO... He will lead the way to a dark and shady corner where he can murder Owner in peace.

Just kidding, but as soon as they're somewhere private and away from prying eyes, Pixel Arthur glitches into Pixel Dahut! Wow. He lifts their hands up!]

Yay!

[discomfort]

[ \o/\o/ ]

This really is not how I was expecting this Wednesday to go. It is good to see you again, Dahut-san.

[artificialsweetener]

Same, same! But what a wonderful surprise it is!

[HE'S SO HAPPY. HE'S BEEN TRAPPED WITH SO MANY INTROVERTS AND PHYSICALLY DISTANT PEOPLE FOR SO DAMN LONG. Now they're doing London Bridge arms.]

It's good to see you, too, Monsieur Owner! I was just fretting over how I didn't have enough letters left to say hello...

[discomfort]

That's fine! I understand how inconvenient the limit is.

Are you able to say anything about where you all are? I believe it is in the ship, yes?

[artificialsweetener]

It's far too small! Even Monsieur Scien is going to hit it... He's playing suika with Monsieur Dion thanks to your letter, though!

[But! He looks thoughtful at the question, before nodding.]

The glitches are weird this time... Sometimes it won't even let me say Helly Belly-- oh! Nice. [Nice.] But other times, it won't let me say- [DIALUP NOISES.]

[discomfort]

[ ah.

well that fucking figures. ]

... okay. But you are all safe, at least?

[artificialsweetener]

[HE SEEMS TO BE CONSIDERING THIS.]

...Yes! For now. [Thanks sir.] We're at least- [Now as his mouth moves like he's talking, the only thing Owner will hear is an Italian opera singer belting out O Mio Babbino Caro.]

[discomfort]

Whoa.

They really do not want you saying anything. I wonder why it's so strict...

[artificialsweetener]

No idea! I heard that Monsieur Scien mentioned- [WOOD SAWING NOISES.] -to Shoma earlier, so I have no clue why it's being extra mean to me... Mostly it just lets me talk about the rats?

[So weird! Who would do this to Dahut.]

[discomfort]

[ wow this is so useless ]

I see. Do you enjoy the rats?

[artificialsweetener]

I like them much more now that they've stopped carrying me away into dark rooms.

[This is so useless.]

[discomfort]

Dahut-san...

How big are these creatures?

[artificialsweetener]

Oh! They're about a foot or so taller than I am, usually! One's even larger.

[discomfort]

I see.

I'm a little disappointed.

[artificialsweetener]

Do you wish that you also had large kidnapping rats to whisk you away to locations unknown, Monsieur Owner? Or were you hoping that the kidnapping happened via a network of normal-sized rats working together extremely well?

[discomfort]

I think both are very valid options, but I would like to observe the practicality of the large rodents.

[artificialsweetener]

They're very strange! But friendly! They fight away the bad rats that bite. [WHY IS THEIR LIFE A RAT SOAP OPERA.] I think you'd get along with them very well, but please don't join us.

[He wants... everyone to stop dying... Stop dying yall. even though i aki think francy deserves death]

[discomfort]

I am trying my best not to.

[ francy's not ]

Although it is likely better me than someone who would upset everyone again.

[artificialsweetener]

[NOT THEIR FREAKY LIL GUY.]

To be honest, I think there are very, veeery few people here who could die without upsetting at least a handful of others by this point, if anyone at all.

[discomfort]

[ the idea of anyone being upset about him dying is so weird and sounds wrong but owner knows better to argue about it because he refuses to discuss anything even remotely like feelings. ]

Everyone just gets angrier that this is happening with every new week.

[artificialsweetener]

[Stop running from emotions Owner they're the most important thing.]

That's to be expected! Frustration and anger are guaranteed to come quickly when people feel trapped.

[discomfort]

[ yea ok dahut player. shut up. ]

And especially when the people you go to for support during times like this are the ones who are dying.
