sorry to just drop this on you but
ive been telling other people and i dont want to make you just wait until the obituary drops

text;

[spoileralert]

[ No... no. Not after Jason. Not after everything. God. ]

Thank you for telling me.

Is there anything I can do? I can stay up with you and just chat, or play a game or something.

[mrcreamsicles]

[He stares down at her message. He saw Jason's name on the list earlier, but he didn't recognize it, so he has no reason to know it's on her mind. Still, it doesn't stop the weird guilt he feels.]

you dont have to
i know this is super morbid already
telling you hey sup guess whos dying
i already know what to expect from this

[spoileralert]

I've been locked out overnight before. Just sitting there waiting to go numb is miserable.

[mrcreamsicles]

yeah
it is

[He rubs a hand at his face.]

but

[He hates this whole feeling.]

you still dont owe me
i already put clint through listening to me the first time i died
and it was worse then but that doesnt mean this is fun to talk about

[spoileralert]

I'm not offering because I think I owe you. But I won't push it if you don't want to do it, either. To each his own, you know?

[mrcreamsicles]

[There's a good pause here.]

i dont know
i just feel like i should have known better
like we should have been more careful
its not some freak accident like what killed nat
were just stuck here

[spoileralert]

These things happen. Even when you plan everything, and are super careful, sometimes something just goes horribly wrong.

[mrcreamsicles]

ha
story of my life
maybe i should just stop dragging people into it

[spoileralert]

Don't be silly. Life's not worth much if you never take risks.

I for one am glad I got to meet you, no matter what stupid, horrible things happen.

[mrcreamsicles]

how is it worth it if people die because of it

[spoileralert]

That doesn't have anything to do with it. It's worth it because of your intentions. You didn't mean for anyone to die.

[mrcreamsicles]

but intentions still dont make it stop steph
ive got clint beside me shivering
i dont know where lucky is or if hes safe
we lost him
we ran off trying to find him and now were stuck like this

[spoileralert]

I know. I know they don't.

But none of that makes you a bad person. This isn't your fault. This is just one of those stupid, crazy things that happens.

[mrcreamsicles]

maybe

[It's a total non-answer.]

listen i think im going to hang up
debating this stuff isnt really making things easier
and i dont need to depress you harder with my shit
keep an eye out for me when i get back
if i lose something bad like house did dont let anyone take advantage

[spoileralert]

Of course. Just let me know if you do, okay? I did my best with him.

[mrcreamsicles]

hopefully no one has to order me to do anything
but if i can let you know i will
i trust you not to screw me over
take care of yourself steph

[He hangs up here.]
