No.

there you have it, folks. newt, denier of cookies.

Edited 2016-02-03 14:39 (UTC)

I've never had a cookie in my entire life, mate. I have no bloody clue how to make them.

well shit, we're gonna have to fix that. the store has super mediocre cookies. bet you could figure out how to do it better.

Are they really all that good?

this is something you can only discover for yourself, young grasshopper.

but i'm going to the store to get some right now if that answers your question.

You really don't have to. I know movement is a lot of effort on your part.

wow just because i won't go kill monsters

rude, blondie, rude.

cookies are worth the effort even if they're not great cookies.

Oh I drew that conclusion pre-monster incident.

You know, I'm beginning to think I ought to make a hair-oriented name for you. Shaggy, maybe? Scruffy. Hmm. I'll have to work on that.

Ah yes okay of course. Cookies. So very worth the effort. I await your return with baited breath.

you're the one who keeps kicking me out of the kitchen.

it's really not necessary, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

save your sarcasm for something less vital than cookies. you do not yet understand.

You're a distraction.

Uh huh of course.

Nope I suppose I don't. Until I do I'll keep my sarcasm safe and close.

on a nearly professional level, when i try.

hey, i'm not begging for a new nickname here.

i'll be home in a few and you can reevaluate your sarcasm. i even got milk: the murdercave version.

I'm horrified of the day you do try.

Your nickname's embarrassing though.

You know I don't really know why people call this place "murdercave". Murder implies a human being killing another human being and so far it's been a lot of monster on human killing or vice versa. And if you want to count the 'gods' as nonpeople then even more so.

But thank you for picking up milk. I knew there was a reason I let you stay here

(Never mind that they share a room on Newt's decision.)

the day i try, you won't even notice.

of course it is, you gave it to me.

i don't know. it's kinda catchy, mostly. hadriel makes it sound all classy and mysterious and shit. it's sort of a cave that's trying to murder us, except that'd imply a lot more caring about whether we live or die than i'm really getting from anyone.

see, i'm useful.

Probably not. I've grown exceptionally talented at ignoring you.

I meant your nickname for me.

Isn't it kind of mysterious though? I still don't really think it's trying to murder us. Everything's too convenient really.

Mmmhm. Yes, Peter, very useful. What would I ever do without you

see, my plan is working perfectly.

how is a comment on the color of your hair embarrassing? are you embarrassed by your hair? is that why you're always fussing it in the mirror when you think i'm not paying attention?

okay so it's mysterious. in a lot of ways. like how i don't think this is anybody's version of earth. but murdercave still beats hadriel, whether or not murder is going on.

have to fall asleep without the gentle lullaby of my snoring.

What is your plan exactly? Infiltrate the kitchen to watch me cook? I assure you that's not as exciting as it sounds.

No I am not embarrassed by it. You're just ridiculous about it. And I do not fuss with it. You're a jerk.

Well that'd certainly make sense given our situation. It seems like it'd rather defeat the purpose if we had too much information on this place due to others already knowing about it. Again, the architecture supports that as well.

It is pretty interesting though, you know. This place is composed of two different rock formations. The actual caves/tunnels aren't like the cave making up the city. I noticed when I went hunting for monsters the other day.

What a dream come true.

nope. telling you my plan would ruin it.

i'm not ridiculous about it, you're ridiculous about it. and you fuss with your hair all the time, whether i'm a jerk or not. i probably am.

it wouldn't really matter since we can't get to the surface, but i guess so. the tunnels are different from the cave though? like different rock or what?

hey, you know where the door is, you could be on the other side of it if you wanted.

All right. Wouldn't want to ruin your plan then.

You are absolutely ridiculous about it. If my friends heard you call me blondie they'd probably lose their minds over it.

(Totally ignoring that fussing part. It might be a little true okay.)

Why would it not matter? You don't know that for a fact. There's tunnels. They need to lead to somewhere, don't they? Even if it's not the surface, it ought to be somewhere that's not here.

Different formations. Formations are the result of stuff like erosion. Or could be the strata. Layers, you know? I think. It feels right to me.

Yes, yes I could be.

thanks, i appreciate that.

that just means you need more creative friends. or friends better at pointing out the obvious. one or the other.

the tunnels don't have to lead anywhere. the word oroboros mean anything to you?

i'll take your word for that one. so you're saying that the cave is made different than the tunnels? like they were stuck together from different pieces?

yep. i will draw my own conclusions.

What do you expect? Not everyone can represent a thirty year old adult male both in appearance and mind like you.

Yes they do. There has to be more than just this place. And no, it doesn't.

Kind of. Maybe. I'd have to look at it better. But I kept my hand on the walls a lot and it felt different. I don't know. Something about it reminded me of the Maze but I can't really figure out what right now.

i can't even tell if that's harsh or not. either a new high or a new low for you.

of course there's more. whether we can get to it or not is something else entirely. putting us into a closed system with hope of escape barred by scary monsters and also reality would've been pretty damn smart of these gods. just sayin.

i'll draw you an oroboros later. it's relevant.

interesting. i wonder what that's about.

I'll let you make up your mind about that then.

You don't have to just say. I pretty much went through exactly an identical scenario just a few months ago. I wouldn't really use the word 'smart' to describe it either.

Okay.

Who knows. Are you willing to explore the caves or is that not really your thing?

thanks.

yeah, except there was obviously a way out of that one. what word would you use?

there is a very specific time during which i am willing to explore the caves. it's coming up in a few days.

We didn't know that for certain for years though that there was definitely a way out. It had been assumption for the most part.

I'd use the word 'sadistic'.

I want to just do a bit of a thorough look. I don't really want to do it a lot because- well. Just don't but if you want to join me for it, that'd be nice.

That's oddly exact. Why in a couple of days?
