doghouse | hero pcs: danny + temenos

[ ficuses. i googled this for a previous thread lmfao. ]

Buddy, you gotta tell her now.

...no one is going to give me an ounce of peace until I do, will they.

We certainly won't! And we aren't limited by text messaging.

[ 😊 ]

[ he looks exhausted at this ]

[ actually just uses this nvm ]

If she has not figured it out already, she will know by the end of today. All of those text messages are public, and she is already cottoned on to the strangeness of Ace requesting her not to stay in the tree house.

Yeah. It's gonna come out and she's gonna be furious if she finds out you were hiding it from her the whole time you were hanging out with her.

[ Which is precisely what we told you would happen. ]

[ THOUGHTBUBBLE EQUIVALENT OF SHOVING THIS THOUGHTBUBBLE AWAY ]

...fine. It's not like things can get much worse anyway. You guys win.

If my corpse turns up tomorrow, you'll know why.

Like I said before, one of us can go with you if you think havin' a sort of buffer would be helpful. Or just have us in the background on standby in case things get ugly.

If we wanted you to be a corpse we wouldn't have been workin' this hard to keep you alive for the past week.

No. If I killed Reigen on my own, then I have to confess to it on my own.

If she wants to kill me, then she deserves to.

She's going to be furious, but you ought to give her some credit in this regard, too.

Though, the likelihood that we'll be seeing you later with a black eye is high.

[ welp, i'm out of remedies 'cause i spent all my tokens on wonderballs. ]

Hmm.

You wanted me to tell Nico and Will too, though, didn't you?

One of them might kill me. Well. Nico might.

My advice to you is this, my wayward lamb. Take this one step at a time; the more time you spend catastrophizing the future, the more terrifying the present will be.

[ almost sneering: ] Don't talk to me about catastrophic futures.

[ then deflating. ] ...I guess it doesn't matter. I'll get whatever I deserve in the end.

Is that a threat?

[ looking down and to the side ] ...I really did just want to give her something nice. We really did talk about making one for weeks, and it was the least I could do...

You would know if I was threatening you.

[ he's not doing the scary smile thing which is like the biggest sign of that. ]

It's just a fact, Danny. She is very, very smart. Smarter than I think people often give her credit for. And you know the old saying - the road to hell is paved with good intentions, mm?
