second; voice (i hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record.)

[Nick's voice is raspier than usual, the way voices get when their owners have been screaming, or crying, or possibly both.]

You know what, you motherfucker? I'm coming back to haunt your ass after I'm dead. See how you like it.

You totally should later, after all this is over. If you have any trouble getting it to work I think I can help.

[It'll be a fun project, and something to look forward to. For both of them.]

[text]

[bekommen]

yea sure. later. probly bad acoustics undrground.

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

Probably. I mean you might get a cool echo effect, but I think the satin would fuck that up anyway.

[text]

[bekommen]

maybe try it in the caves sometime 4 echo effect

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, we should try it. Assuming we can find a part of the caves not totally full of monsters anyway.

[text]

[bekommen]

yea

[Though now that she's thinking about it, she wonders what kind of effect a cave echo might have on amplifying her Morphus scream. She files that thought away to think on more when and if she doesn't die here under the ground.]

what kinda music do u like?

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

Going with the standard boring answer of anything but country. Electronica's extra cool though.

[He really likes the unusual effects that can be added with computer, and the different types of processing.]

u got a fave band? fave song?

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

I'm not sure I could just pick one, though I guess I've got awhile to think about it and get back to you.

How about you?

[text]

[bekommen]

lots of fave songs. fave band the stones. was my dad's fave 2.

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah? My dad's favorite is Pink Floyd so I've heard like, everything of theirs but not much of the Stones.

[text]

[bekommen]

we gotta fix that if we ever get back 2 civilization

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, definitely. It's a deal.

[text]

[bekommen]

maybe i can sing something 4 u

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

That'd be awesome. I'd say I'd return the offer, but I sound like someone's dumped water on a cat that has the voice of a preteen girl.

[He's not nearly that bad--he's actually somewhat decent and can at least carry a tune--but considering the situation they're in anything to lighten the mood is the way to go.]

[Good job, Chris - Nick actually does laugh over that, even if it's not audible from underground.]

so ur sayin ur beyonce basicly

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Mission accomplished, even if he's not aware of it.]

I'm pretty sure I'd get a one way ticket to hell for blasphemy if I agreed with that.

[But the silliness of this conversation is making him feel a bit better too.]

[text]

[bekommen]

hell might b a nice vacation frm this place

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

Maybe but since I can think of worse than this I don't want to tempt fate too much

[text]

[bekommen]

where cld possibly b worse?

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

I think a list would probably be kind of depressing.

[text]

[bekommen]

i aint goin anywhere 4 a while

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

[There's a delay before he replies because he's trying to figure out what to say; he's not sure talking about horrible things is the best way to make this situation better, but maybe.]

A lot of what happened on the mountain was worse. So far, anyway.

[But he's not sure he wants to talk about it, even if she for some reason wants to hear about it.]

[text]

[bekommen]

[WELP. Now Nick feels like an asshole.]

sorry.

[She just honestly doesn't know what else to say. She usually has some kind of snappy comeback for any comment, but sincerity is a lot harder for her to handle.]

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

It's okay. Kind of makes this all a little easier to deal with.

[He's naturally a calm person anyway, but it definitely helps stave off panic to know he's dealt with worse before.]
