one ❀ voice

[unknowable]

[There's no video, because it's too dark in the coffin to show anything anyway. Adam's voice is carefully steady, as if he's keeping himself under control through sheer power of will.]

I saw that Fear said our air supply will be refreshed. I don't know if that's true - I don't know if we can trust him - but I thought people ought to know anyway.

[Not that he necessarily believes anything any of the gods say, but - well. Who knows.]

Talking is a little less impersonal than text. It might help to hear a familiar voice, if any of your friends are buried. There also isn't much to do down here but panic, so if anyone wants to talk - I wouldn't mind.

Adam. Who are you?

[He's wary. Noah doesn't always make the greatest friends.]

[notjustinthemirror]

I'm the Demon that makes all the alcohol.

[There's a pause and some clicking.]

You're on my diagram.

[unknowable]

[...there's a diagram?]

You're the one who hurt Ronan.

[notjustinthemirror]

But not the bird. I'm told that's an important distinction.

For what it's worth I still have the indents of his knuckles in my stomach.

[unknowable]

I'm usually the one who patches him up after those stupid fights, so it's not that important a distinction for me.

[Although really, hurting Chainsaw would make anyone irredeemable.]

He probably started the fight, but that doesn't change anything for me.

[notjustinthemirror]

Hey I was trying to be hospitable and offer him a free bottle.

[unknowable]

That's nice of you. It would be nicer if you hadn't hit him with a baseball bat.

[notjustinthemirror]

It would be nice if he hadn't punched me. But life isn't nice.

[unknowable]

No, it's not, so I'm sure you'll understand when I say that I would rather you stay away from the both of us.

[notjustinthemirror]

I understand. But I'm not making any promises about anything.

[unknowable]

I'm not asking for a promise. Just understanding.

[notjustinthemirror]

Yeah yeah. Stay away from both of you. Got it.

[unknowable]

I know you and Noah are friends. Don't hurt him.

[notjustinthemirror]

Why the fuck would I hurt him?

[unknowable]

Considering you've already hurt my other friend, I think I have plenty of reason to worry.

[notjustinthemirror]

Your other friend is an asshole. And Noah isn't.

[unknowable]

[Joke's on you, they're actually all assholes.]

I guess it's reassuring that you think that. I don't trust you, though. I won't tell Noah what to do, he can make whatever friends he wants, but you'd better not hurt him.

[notjustinthemirror]

Are you threatening me?

[He sounds amused.]

[unknowable]

No. I would be much more specific if I were.

[He's got experience.]

I'm warning you.

[notjustinthemirror]

That warms my non-existent heart.

I'll keep that in mind.

[The wrath of some teenagers. He's shaking.]
