[ Someone sure didn't think they'd be the last person standing out of their group. The guys would get a laugh out of that if they knew!]

this fucking place is the worst, like it's not even funny anymore. it stopped being funny a minute after i arrived but i'm pretty sure that it will never stop being shit. maybe it's hell, i mean maybe we did all die horribly and this is it and it just decides to torture you with things until you give up. can anyone here honestly say that this place is the best??

i'm done.

You can't give up. It won't make anything for you better. It won't change your circumstances. It won't make this place any less shit than it is.

You have to... take it. Swallow it. All that pain, you have to turn it into something you can use. [ It's a hard lesson to learn. It's an even harder lesson to swallow. ]

I can if I want to, what's the point of trying to fight when it doesn't change anything?

Use it how?

Use it to fight back. Because it does change things, even if that change is slow as fuck.

The more people give up, the harder others have to fight. We can't stop fighting back. If we do, they'll never listen to us and we'll never find a way to get back to our homes on our terms.

I'm pretty sure we aren't dead, a friend of mine is dating the grim reaper and he would have mentioned it.

I'm sorry, though. This place is pretty bad, sometimes.

or maybe they just aren't mentioning it. or maybe they're dead too.

it's bad all of the time, i can't think of a single time i've thought that this place was good and i feel like i've been here since forever.

I think he's at least undead, that kind of goes with the job description.

Are you ok?

I mean, obviously no, but did something happen?

[Still some days out from the city proper, it takes Ignis some time to actually get this message through. It's one of the few times he visibly shows frustration.]

I don't think that anyone would say that, Eddie. Hadriel provides a great deal of strife to offset any opportunity it offers.
I should be back within a few days. Will you be alright?

Edited (remembering he doesn't actually know anyone's gone oops) 2018-02-23 08:55 (UTC)

there's no opportunity here to have.

what other choice do i have? i'll just sit here and do nothing but hope we don't get overrun but some other army or struck down with cholera or some shit.

[ Full on grump mode is activating....]

[By the Six, Eddie...]

Do you want to tell me what's happened?

or probably measles.

nothing is happening now. few days, right?

[Normally, he'd argue this, but the reception is spotty at best and it's difficult to get anything through.]

A few days. I'll keep you all apprised of the situation.

[ Spotty reception isn't something Eddie even thinks of, he's just somewhat impressed it's just short and to the point right. Looks like he's got a few days to himself, should be interesting.]

yeah alright, make sure you come back.

What's wrong?

( Smol childe no :( )

[ In all honesty it takes Eddie a moment to not be shocked; normally teachers hate bad language.]

this place is wrong.

( Serah's not happy about it, but it seems like a secondary concern in comparison to the outburst existing at all. )

It's different. But that doesn't mean it's wrong.

Some people are dead back home, so. Comparatively? A shitty life is still better than no life.

maybe but it doesn't mean they have to drag the rest of us into it, let the dead people stay here if they want.

i'm not gonna' have this argument with a kid
but just know it isn't as easy as that?

lol. i hear that. you won't get any arguments from me

It's not the best. It's not the worst either. We have freedom here.

Eddie? What's gone wrong? You can trust me, please.

This isn't hell, kid. Hell's what happens when we give up.

[For once, Lup's all in agreement.]

might not be much comfort
but ive gone back to where i was and got dragged back in here again
so yeah its deffo hell
but a lil less permanent

Life must be easy where you're from.

too much small kindness here for this to be hell. its just another shithole but none of us get to be done with it just cause were pissed
