I don't want to know anything else about your arrangement, definitely not like that

And you seem quite mouthy for someone who got beat up
No one else is coming
If they do I'll stop them
Someone else dying over this would be stupid

[snyaiper]

[He was gonna get more specific about how he saw Alex make a fool of himself over wifegate but now he needs to clarify something else instead.]

You realize they took my weapons before they put me in here
I don’t have the means to kill anyone else at this point
nor am I in a condition to do so to be entirely honest
[Because surely that’s what Alex meant.]

[rockymountaindie]

I'm talking about you too, you fucking idiot
Put you in where?

[snyaiper]

[????????]

Why would you care if I died

[rockymountaindie]

Because someone else dying over this would be stupid, can't you read?
You didn't answer my question

[snyaiper]

[No sorry Alex he can’t answer your question until this confusion is resolved.]

It’s not like I would even stay dead
What you’re saying doesn’t make sense
Is it because you’d rather see me suffer over a protracted period of time?

[rockymountaindie]

No??
What the fuck is with you, I don't want people to die period
It fucking sucks, okay, you wanted to know? It hurts and it's dark and it's miserable, and on top of that you lose a piece of yourself
I don't want people to die if it can be avoided and I'd rather not contribute to it anymore than I already have

Answer my fucking question

[snyaiper]

[Hm. Strange. Death sounds a lot like War.]

I already told you
The man with the cat put me in the brig
I believe you got distracted by the fact that will stabbed me there

[rockymountaindie]

After he beat you up?
Are you still there?
Did someone heal you?

[snyaiper]

Generally prisoners of war aren’t treated for anything beyond life threatening injuries
I really don’t see how this is any of your business

[rockymountaindie]

You're not a prisoner of war you little bitch stop talking around it
It's my business because if those assholes beat you up and you didn't get healing, that shit can get infected and you could die
ESPECIALLY since those assholes did that because of me
So, you're gonna tell me, after you got stabbed and beat and all that, did any cleric heal you?

[snyaiper]

I went to the medbay after I was stabbed

[It’s technically not a lie!!! He just didn’t get properly healed.]

[rockymountaindie]

Okay, now we're getting somewhere
Is it still bleeding?
Also, what about the other time?

[snyaiper]

no

[If he doesn’t specify which question he’s answering it’s not lying.]

1/2

[rockymountaindie]

good fucking god

2/2

[rockymountaindie]

You said the brig?
Alright hold tight

[snyaiper]

what
Do not come here
There is absolutely no reason for you to come here
If that is what you are doing stop immediately

[rockymountaindie]

Did you not read a single thing I said?
Yeah there is, and it's not like you can stop me

->voice

[snyaiper]

[Ogata switches to voice because text cannot contain the level of emotion he needs to covey at this moment.]

If you come down here I swear to you I will make you dead a second time or die in the process. Is that the game you want to play right now, Alex?
[His tone is so terse by the end Alex’s name is practically a hiss.]

-> voice

[rockymountaindie]

[ Two can play at this game. Okay. That's creepy. ...How's he sound, though? Physically.

Alex, for the record, sounds like he's in-motion. ]

Bullshit. We've already covered this, you can't touch me.

[snyaiper]

[Oh he sounds terrible. Raspy and a bit of a wheeze that apparently in no way stops him from just saying the most hateful shit.]

I guess I’ll just die, then. I’ll do it myself but you’ll still have my blood on you and your friends hands, won’t you?
[Is.... is he holding himself hostage?]

[rockymountaindie]

[ Alright. Walking fast, walking faster. ]

And I ain't letting that happen. Call it- fucking selfish if you want, I don't care, that is not an outcome that I'm letting come to pass.

[snyaiper]

[Selfishness, now that’s an emotion Ogata can understand!]

And I’m telling you that if you don’t come here that won’t be a problem. I don’t need your help and I don’t want it.

[rockymountaindie]

And what happens when you lose consciousness from a head injury? Did he smash your head in? Or blood loss, how's your skin tone looking? Anything aching in your torso, abdomen?

[ He just effortlessly starts listing. ]

Not even magic can heal everything. Wanna know how it feels to have an injury aggravate, lose feeling in parts of your body? And of course, potential organ failure from internal injuries. All this and more is possible if you don't get yourself fucking checked out.

[snyaiper]

[You know, this catches him off guard. He wasn't expecting any level of expertise from Alex, but there he goes rattling off a fairly comprehensive list of potential complications like he's seen it all before.

After a long moment, he sighs.]

You seem to be laboring under the impression that I'm unfamiliar with being injured or in pain.

During the war, they sent us to Manchuria in the dead of winter. We were stuck in the trenches between freezing winds and Russian howitzers. I can't count how many times I swore I wasn't going to be able to reload my rifle because my fingers were so numb.

After the war, during the incident in which I broke my jaw I also broke my arm and almost died of hypothermia. I believe I was in the hospital for three weeks, I don't remember all of it.

I'm not refusing your help because I don't understand the situation. I'm refusing it because I'm not so desperate that the only option I have is to rely on someone like you.
[It's... mostly true. He should probably ask someone for help, at this point. But not Alex. It cannot be Alex. That's just too incorrect for him to bear.]
