Hey! Guys! Did you know there are demons here?
[hey look it's connor with the best/worst sarcastic message for you today. many posts lately have been about demons and justifiably so but connor is a shitposter and he's back so hang on or hang up on him. (that's the better option lets all be honest with ourselves)]
Since we're all smart people who definitely aren't going outside to get possessed or die on the network -- seriously, please, stop doing that -- I figured we should at least pick a game to pass the time. You know, like being on a long road trip and playing "I Spy" or some shit.
[he starts to say something else but apparently thinks better of it, because he smiles instead and reconsiders his words]
No, actually, first - a bunch of you guys are sleeping together, right? But who isn't? The lack of having an app to prove we're all cute, single, available people is clearly an oversight. (Really, pong before tindr? Also, calling it now: please, spelunkr, make it happen.) Discuss among yourselves.
[but oh right the game he seems to only remember now that's where he started, and he's maybe a little tipsy but wouldnt you be if THERE WERE DEMONS and people were doing dumb things like getting almost killed or worse on the network]
Oh, yeah, the game. Hot or Not. Post a picture of yourself and other people rate it for hotness. Honestly I'm not even going to care if you post a picture of someone not yourself. Have at it, kids.

You heard everything I said about you, huh?
audio;
[ Aw but he doesn't want to make her uncomfortable!! ]
It's okay. I know you're friends with Connor, he's talked about you a lot before.
[ In other words, no judgement (only a little judgement) because Matt knows... deep down there's good in Connor just like he's sure there's good in you too, Cashmere. ]
audio;
It's probably not something I would have said publicly if I remembered there were privacy settings. Connor's talked a lot about you too. Not just about how attractive you are. You sound like a great guy. Sorry you're stuck here with us.
audio;
It's okay. [ This is Matt "I can literally hear everyone, at all times," Murdock. He has heard so much worse, do not doubt it. ]
But thanks. Connor's told me a lot about you, too-- and not just the part where he talked about how beautiful you are. [ Ohhh, snap, check it out Matt can be smooth, too. ] It sounds like you're taking good care of him.
audio;
she catches that compliment and grins. ] Connor's great. It's been a long time since I had a friend like him. He makes this place feel a little more like home.
audio;
I'm glad you guys have each other. I know he really appreciates having someone who understands him, too.
[ Because they both seem to know that Connor is a huge anxious wreck and needs supervision at all times. ]
It's nice to have a change of pace around here. He's pretty good at that.
[ He reminds Matt a little of Foggy but like 100% more shameless and 50% less bi. ]
audio;
Yeah, he's one of a kind. And between the two of us, we'll keep him out of trouble and hopefully not gored by any weird monsters. Cause I really don't think he's much of a fighter.
audio;
Yeah, he's... definitely not. [ And Matt isn't either of course because he is blind!!! ] I'll keep him out of trouble as long as I can.
You can handle the fighting part, then?
[ Connor did not go into specifics besides saying you were a badass, Cashmere. ]
audio;
Oooh yeah. Absolutely. I spent 10 years training to fight and 11 years teaching others so I've got that covered. If either of you need help, call me.
audio;
Matt, noWait, that's some weird math, how young is Cashmere again? She can't be more than 30. ]
I'll keep that in mind. Maybe you could show me a thing or two.
[ IT'S ON...... ]
audio;
is it weird that Cashmere doesn't know how old she is? she knows she was 29 when she died. but she hasn't been home in almost two years which makes her..??? still 29?? 30-something? then there's the whole part where she looks younger than that and usually she just lets people believe whatever they want since she doesn't know how to answer anyway. ]
I'd like that. I've never trained somebody who's blind before. It sounds challenging. I like challenges. [ and oh god does she miss working out and training like she used to. ]
audio;
Sounds fun. [ He'll challenge her any day tbh though he might just blow his cover doing it, shit. Would it be worth it...? Maybe. ] We should try it sometime.
audio;
Now that I'd really like. [ and is definitely not expecting that she might get her ass kicked. ] And since no one has jobs here, as soon as people stop turning into some sort of demon, my schedule is wide open.
audio;
Sounds good to me. My schedule's about the same as yours.
[ Give or take some vigilante-ing, y'know. But it's more fun when it's a surprise. ]
Couple weeks from now, then?
audio;
Sure. I guess we'll both just have to stay out of trouble until then. Trust me, dying and coming back is not enjoyable.
audio;
Shouldn't be too hard. I'm not in a big hurry try it myself.
[ It sounds creepy and wrong and he's really not for it. ]
audio;
Besides, Hope is so bitchy about having to revive people and patch them up. And he's not always good at it.
[ a pause. ] I wonder if gods in other worlds are as bratty as ours here/
audio;
[ smh ]
I'd sure hope not. They never pulled anything like this, as far as I know.
[ But then they had alien norse gods in Matt's world? the Big Guy doesn't really intervene... ]
audio;
And what about this hot or not thing? Do you have that? [ btw maybe this is a good time to mention that Cashmere is basically like if you give a mouse a cookie when it comes to questions. ]
audio;
We had websites and stuff, sure. There's an app called Tinder, I think. But pictures don't really matter to me, so that's hard to say.
[ Shhh it's okay, Matt is a lawyer, he's all about answering questions. ]
audio;
Ooooh. Spelunkr. Tinder. I get it now.
[ ok good because she has some follow-ups. ] So, if looks don't matter as much to you as they would most men, what's attractive to you?
audio;
A smooth voice. Nice smell. Someone who walks confidently, maybe smiles with their voice and isn't afraid to be honest.
audio;
Hmm. That makes a lot of sense. All of that's attractive in general. A nice voice and a good smell goes a long way.
audio;
[ I mean, super senses means he can tell practically everything but colors, but shh. ]
audio;
[ as an afterthought: ] Blondes do have more fun, though. So that's a good thing to have a heads up on.
