[ Here is a Zetsurin (probably) draped over Cuthbert's couch. And taking up space. Kinda like a dog. OWAIT-- ]

...We should have another party. Or something.

Or! We could all play chase! [ Griiiiiiiiin. Zets looks a lot better, huh. ]

What do you guys think?

[Here, Zetsurin, have a walking, talking mound of rock.]

How do you play dat?

[warped_genetics]

[ He wtf's for a minute! Rocks don't even talk on HIS homeworld. :< ]

U-uh... ...Oh! Right, um. Well, you have one person who's the chaser, and everyone else has to run from them. And they have to hide and try and trick them and get back to a designated "safe place" in order not to be caught. The first person caught is the next chaser in the next game.

[count_to_two]

Oh.

[scratches his head]

...How come everyone's got to run from t'is chaser?

[warped_genetics]

Because it's fun! That's how you play the game. The point is not to get caught.

[priorpyro]

[It takes Axel quite awhile to speak up - he's understandably not sure how this will be received.]

Hey, Zetsurin...

[warped_genetics]

[ He immediately tenses, just from memory of the sound rather than from what Axel's actually saying. ..And he's not smiling anymore, face twisted into an unreadable expression. It takes him a minute to calm enough to respond, voice tight. ]

....Yes?

[priorpyro]

Do they have memorials where you come from?

[Axel's voice is steady, but he won't look at the crow, keeping his hood up and his back turned.]

[warped_genetics]

[ Tries to force himself to calm further, not to let instinct control his emotions.. and he's finding it hard, angry in the back of his mind that Axel won't even look at him while he's talking. ]

..I'm not sure what you mean.

[fuckingkillthem]

Kekeke, "chase" sounds too much like fuckin' tag for me, pinky. But I'd still watch.

[warped_genetics]

[ Headtilt. ] I think that might be what you guys call it. Razzat might have mentioned it once before.

[fuckingkillthem]

[Eyebrow quirk] Never met that rat of yours. ...Keke, whatever, just tell me when you're fuckin' playing, maybe I'll come around.

[warped_genetics]

..Rat? [ blink. ]

Oh, that'd be great! I'll be sure to let you know.

[i_see_death]

Feeling better, Zetsurin?

[warped_genetics]

[ Nod. ] Yeah, a lot.

I'm not.. very good at being by myself. It's nice staying with Cuthbert.

[i_see_death]

Happy to hear it. Can't have people feeling down in the dumps in Hell, now.

...Oh, I have a present for you, by the way.

[warped_genetics]

A.. present? [ Frowns. ]

..Coming from you, that worries me.

[nojusticeonlyme]

What is 'Chase'?

[warped_genetics]

It's a game! One person is the chaser, and they have to catch the other people running from them. The first person to get touched is the next chaser. The point is to make it to the designated safe place and not get touched.

[nojusticeonlyme]

A game? This is 'fun'?

[warped_genetics]

Yeah! It can be really fun.
