DODO CABIN CATCHALL

[gluttoning]

If we lose any dodos, I'll make a new PC! Unless I'm the lost dodo in which case y'all are on your own.

[Weirdly, Nona loves soda, so she's drank two whole cans of it and only chewed on the can a little bit. Her mood is a bit more melancholic. She didn't know Merlin at all so she can't bring herself to feel too sad about his death, but death is death and the effect it's had has rippled out.]

People are going to start dying now.

[gluttoning]

[...

There's not much to be said for it. She's not wrong.

He shuffles up to a seat next to her with a carton of Crea's cookies in his hands and a takeaway bag in the other. His big long legs... give him a second to get comfortable, oof.]

...I have bones. For Noodle.

[stilllovesyou]

Thank you. Noodle doesn't mind people dying so long as Noodle gets bones.

[She smiles, taking another chug of soda, before pulling it away.]

We don't have this back home. It's good.

I hope you don't die, Lord of the Flies.

[gluttoning]

They're turkey, not human. But they're easy to find.

[Soda isn't too healthy, but at least it's something, and he's about to comment on it, but she's quicker--]

2/2

[gluttoning]

...

Oh. [It's not a title he was expecting to hear, and the surprise will feel evident even though his expression doesn't budge much.]

Not many people call me that. Did I tell you that, Nona?

Re: 2/2

[stilllovesyou]

You said it was your name.

Er, or that's what I heard when you said it. Um.

[She's trying real hard now.]

Beelzebub.

[Perfect hebrew pronunciation.]

[gluttoning]

[Oh, that's so strange. When was the last time he heard his name spoken like that?

Hm.]

...Mn. That's what my name means in an old human language. I didn't know you knew it.

You don't need to call me Lord, though. You can just call me "Beel", if my full name is too hard.

[stilllovesyou]

[Oh god, Nona think of something!]

I travel a lot. So I learn lots of languages.

[Nailed it.]

Do you prefer Beel? I prefer Nona.

[gluttoning]

[That does give him a little pause. Didn't her profile say differently? But he does remember that she was insistent her profile was a lie.

There's some doubt, slight but present. But he lets it slide. No use pressing her over something she feels uncomfortable about.]

Usually only my brothers call me "Beel". But I don't mind if you want to use it.

Do people call you things other than Nona?

[stilllovesyou]

Pyrrha does, but I like Pyrrha's names.

[gluttoning]

[He slips a cookie into his mouth, breaking off a piece of another one to hold out to her.

Muffled:] Who's Pyrrha?

[stilllovesyou]

She takes care of me. [Nona brightens up at this topic.]

Her and Camilla and Palamedes. But Pyrrha's the oldest, so she gets confused for my dad a lot of the time.

[gluttoning]

[Oh... cute. It's good to see her light up.]

"She" gets confused for your dad?

Do they take care of you the same way the Angel does?

[dakicover]

[ poor nona. it's no good if everyone in this cabin is feeling down, but at the same time crea can't blame anyone for feeling that way. a guy was literally just found dead.

but her statement is so direct that it's almost chilling for the ex-hero. he's not unused to death in the least, but... ]

Maybe. Probably. And here I thought we wouldn't have to do it.

[stilllovesyou]

I never thought that we'd be able to avoid it.

[She smiles, a little sadly. It's... again, a distant kind of grief. She can't bring herself to feel anything about Merlin's death. Which is sad. She thinks that she'd probably have loved him.]

Have you ever killed anyone?

[dakicover]

I have.

[ crea looks conflicted as she says so, almost as if it were unveiling painful memories. he doesn’t like killing, hell, he doesn’t even like fighting…

but it comes with the jobs.

he eats a chip. ]

What about you?

[stilllovesyou]

Not that I remember.

Everyone around me has though. [They shouldn't have to but they have. Even her classmates, the oldest of which is fourteen.]

[dakicover]

I'm not sure about the number of people surrounding you, but that kind of feels like a lot...?

[ though now that he thinks about it, maybe he shouldn't talk. his group isn't much better. ]

Your world must be really tough. I hope you can avoid havin' to do that.

[stilllovesyou]

[Idly, like she's commenting on the weather, she mumbles.]

It's not so tough. Violence is just how meat loves meat.

[dakicover]

[ …………… ]

I don’t think I’ve ever been described as “meat” before…

[stilllovesyou]

...Sorry.

[She doesn't really know what else to say.]

[dakicover]

Heh… don’t worry about it.

[ he shakes his head, shrugging his shoulders. ]

As far as descriptions go, it’s pretty harmless. Kinda weird and mildly ominous, but nothing wrong with that.

[stilllovesyou]

I wasn't calling you meat. We're all meat. Even Noodle. Even me.

I don't know why I said it like that.

[plunges]

[ Xiao hears what she says, and she isn't wrong about that. But, like Beel, and like what he did for Crea, he will go ahead and hand an apple over to her. ]

Here.

[ ...And then there's Noodle. ]

What does your companion like to eat?

[stilllovesyou]

Noodle isn't very picky. [She takes the apple and just looks at it, making no motion to eat it.]

Noodle will happily eat most things, even if Noodle shouldn't eat them. So you have to be really careful. But generally Noodle likes bones and meat.
