This is a dumb question, but I can't take this anymore. I have to ask.

What's with all of these weird craft videos online and why are they like that? Is this some sort of satire I don't get because I haven't been here long enough? Who is this for?

I mean, baking an entire multi-colored cake only to cut a slice and freeze it in resin... That's got to be some kind of joke I'm not getting, right?

[Guess who somehow managed to end up in a horrible clickbait rabbit hole at 3 AM?]

I'd prefer not to???

whats inside

[oh this is not a good line of questioning. Their only solace is that this is through text and thus they don't have to sit there stammering like a fool the whole time.]

I'm not an expert so I don't know if I can give you all the details.
Uh. LILITH probably put extra things in though??
This isn't a question I normally have to answer!

[ most alarmingly, there seems to be a growing pitter-pattering of feet rushing through LILITH’s main base, as though Someone or Something was on the move. perhaps in search. perhaps it’s you, dante. perhaps it’s nothing at all.

pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap—- ]

is it hollow

[THAT SURE IS THE SOUND OF A TRAIN WHISTLE COMING MUFFLED FROM INSIDE ONE OF THE ROOMS IN REVELATION'S HALLWAY]

Let's go back to talking about desserts! What's your favorite? Have you gotten that butler guy to make you any yet?

[ this is main base. this is a building filled to the brim with allies and such things that must be preserved at all costs. it is the home of LILITH and Shiro and all the forces at play keeping the chaotic mass of outsiders in organized line. none of it suffices to stop the way choso’s head snaps up at the strange and unnatural sound, like a hound scenting blood on the breeze.

perhaps even more alarmingly, the rush of footsteps has stopped entirely. oh dear. ]

cheesecake maybe
what is your head

[Okay, so. Crisis seems to be averted for now thanks to Vergilius and Ishmael. Maybe they can continue this conversation in a more friendly direction? Maybe???]

What places have good cheesecake?

The people I know who might be interested in it probably already know where to get it but
I figure I should ask just in case.

[ one horrific noise of thwarted pursuit later: ]

i have no idea, but the conbini sometimes sells tiny spongy things in tiny plastic boxes. golden balls says he can maybe make more.

[They're... starting to relax again. A little. Maybe.]

A lot of people seemed to recommend him, so it sounds like he'd do a good job of it.

["Tiny" and "spongy" doesn't sound all too appetizing to them from description alone, but they're nowhere near an expert.]

But... It might not be the best idea to call him "golden balls." Even if he's a

[what was it]

An "ssr golden ball man butler." New people might get a bit confused like I did.

[That's not the only reason but.........]

knock it off

[ oh, this guy. immediate, weird fondness. like one weird beastie recognizing its own. ]

hello vergilius.
knock what off?
there is nothing nearby to.

[meanwhile vergilius is that one wolf who is like THE FUCK YOU DOING IN MY TERRITORY]

its a phrase.

it means "leave them alone" in this case. dante's head shouldn't be a subject of interest

[ a wolf and a [REDACTED] meet in the woods. ]

i understand.
if you say so, then i suppose i will let it go.

…
but how can it not be
it is a prosthetic head
how does it work

That's classified information.

I suggest you leave our Manager alone if you know what's good for you, Choso.

[ of everything in neo-tokyo, it’s ishmael that stops choso dead in his tracks.

luckily (or unluckily, depending on which side of the door you’re on), it happens to be right outside a specific door in Revelation wing, one hand frozen mid-air in the process of knocking. ]

ok
sorry

[ good thing he'd stopped right there because ishmael Will stop at nothing to protect dante, even if she has to take down choso herself. that's part of their job in limbus company after all. ]

Mm. Carry on.

Thanks, Ishmael. And, uh, sorry you had to get up this early in the morning to help.

I think I'll wear that disguise from now on, just in case.

in general a lot of people where we come from have prosthetics. heads, arms, legs, even whole bodies

its more of a common practice than you think

i don't know the specifics. i'm not someone who installs those things. but it works

dante's head has its reasons i am not privileged to share under company contract

Edited 2024-11-14 22:47 (UTC)

[ vergilius my man you are spinning him right round and he’s getting dizzy with the possibilities.

a whole body prosthetic

isnt that just a robot by then!?

agh ]

i have more questions than i started with

what kind of person is it that installs them???

do you have one?????

Thanks, Vergilius. I appreciate it.

as our model student ishmael may say. loose lips sink ships

do take care not to talk too much about that head of yours dante

That's not a lesson I'm going to forget anytime soon, trust me.

I just didn't expect it to escalate that quickly.

we're no longer in the City

instead we are surrounded by different weirdos

I get that, but as I told Ishmael, when the executive director of T Corp sees a walking, "talking" clock and is barely phased...

Then again I guess that's not completely out of place for T Corp, but still.
