i for one have never lied about being dead

[peacekeeps]

[ guess who's here and has a big cheesy grin and hard liquor probably. also is doing only a mostly OKAY job at disguising how salty he is at SOME PEOPLE HERE ]

[eyeforaneye]

[ Sasuke raises his glass somewhat drunkenly contemplatively before lowering it. No... no... ]

Sounds like a waste of time.

[peacekeeps]

[ chin on hand don't think he didn't see that mister ]

Don't it, though? Seems like a good way to make sure people ain't gonna appreciate seein' you.

[eyeforaneye]

[ This feels incredibly specific. And it goes over Sasuke's head right now. ]

Most likely. Deception leads to a deservedly cold welcome... but then motivations have to be taken into account too.

[peacekeeps]

[ amused huff, like he finds that quaint, or at least not really an option. ]

People don't care none about intentions. They just care about actions.

[eyeforaneye]

You say that pretty confidently. Isn't that far too narrow a perspective?

[finethanks]

Jokes are very different from lies, you know? If I tried to lie believably, they would begin the process for my funeral immediately, and it would be a mess to clean up.

[So, he doesn't drink... But he does look around, since this sounds Pointed.]

[peacekeeps]

Yeah? You make it sound like you'd be good at fakin' it.

[ jesse isn't even looking at the person in question but they'll mutual drag each other in like, ten seconds, probably ]

[finethanks]

I could die any minute, so it's a real concern. Rather than it having to do with my ability to "fake it," it's more that sometimes I cough a little and others jump straight to my oncoming death.

How do they say it... On death's door? Knock knock. ♪

[peacekeeps]

[ chin on hand, chewing on the end of his cigar. ]

What's all this about bein' on death's door?

[finethanks]

[ Oh, someone he hasn't told or nearly died in front of!! ]

Short life spans are hereditary in my family, so, you know, since I have a weak heart and can't manage even simple tasks sometimes, that's the best way I could put it. I've lost a lot of school due to being hospitalized, as well.

[leatherdaddy]

[ Raises a brow, but not his cup. Besides, it wasn't he who was advertised as dead, so technically this doesn't apply. ]

Isn't that pretty normal for most people?

[ WHO IS EVEN NORMAL IN HERE ]

[peacekeeps]

See, that's what I thought too.

[ glib! CHEERFUL! NOT AT ALL READY TO THROW DOWN ]

[leatherdaddy]

[ Holy shit this is refreshing ]

Yeah, surprises never cease. Then again, never thought a game like this could get so cutthroat.

[peacekeeps]

Seems like there's a lot of bad blood goin' around. Lucky me, I don't know most of you from Adam.

[ there's an operative word somewhere in there ]

[leatherdaddy]

Sure does. [ Gladio folks his arms and sighs, bowing his head and closing his eyes in resignation. ]. Guess I know I keep these guys separated.

Yeah,I'm in the same boat. I just took whoever seemed capable and willing to do some work.

how fuckin dare

[hellshot]

[Oh, he knows how fucking DIRECTED this question is, and he shoots Jesse a hard Glare from under the hollow eyes of his mask.

He doesn't raise his glass, either.]

Wipe the grin off your face.
There's no accounting for me in this question, either. As I never lied about being dead. Technically? Still am dead.

Next.

[peacekeeps]

[ i am almost 40 years old i will grin if i want!!

in fact his grin gets a little harder at one corner

but he's not gonna, you know, contest that for right now. can't air all your dirty laundry in one go. ]

[finethanks]

[Looks... between him and McCree...]

It's a rather specific "never have I ever". Did something happen between the two of you?

[hellshot]

[He immediately shoots McCree a hard look from under his mask. Eyes glowing just under the hollow holes of it, as if warning him silently--Don't you fucking dare.]

[peacekeeps]

[ just. staring back hard, puffing on his cigar, all teeth. ]

Just seems to be a situation I'm runnin' into a lot lately. I wanted to see if anyone else had a good yarn to spin.

[ ha ha ha. ha ha ha ]

[finethanks]

[He could cut the air with a knife, damn. He looks between the two of them for another moment, eventually moving his cup to rest on a knee as he holds it.]

It seems if you continue to search for yarn like this, someone might spin it right around your throat. You should be careful, you know?

[liquidate]

I'm not deaaad!

(they can see that.)

I'm invincible!

[leatherdaddy]

Hooh? Then you won't have a problem dealing with the monsters yourself.

[ Wow you are so not invincible, stop that. ]

[liquidate]

No way, you guys could all go home and I'd be fine.

(he's serious... and now he's sipping at his drink, the round is OVER.)
