From what I know, his job wasn't the greatest. They had to... Handle guests. There was no other way to achieve this goal, which is for the greater good.
That's... Convenient, even though awful at the same time.
[ this is not hehe ]
I really want to be optimistic and think you guys didn't need to die too many times. Ideally, no dying, but it sounds like it's a lost cause to hope for that.

Wasn't sure if you'd be in the mood to down a whole milkshake, so frozen yogurt it is. [ ... ] Doing all right?
no subject
I think I'll eat anything, right now. Which means the froyo is fine.
[ and she pauses like she's listening to something else for a second? ]
... Yeah, I'm good. I think. Healed up enough that I'm not dying.
no subject
Having an appetite is a good sign! [ Uh. ] Something... On your mind?
[ Since she looked distracted there. ]
no subject
Mm. Lingering effect. An anomaly. It's fine.
no subject
All right. I'm sure your team will catch you if you start slipping. [ A nod. ] It sounded like your trip had something to do with Netzach?
[ WHY ELSE DID YOU GUYS SAY HE'S BAD AT HIS JOB? ]
no subject
I... won't? But thanks. [ ... ] Yeah, it was... His job? His old job? I don't totally get it.
He was there. But we could tell right away that it wasn't really him, based on what we've heard about other people's missions.

[ Whispers: ]
These mission trips really are freaky.
no subject
But when it did, we'd just come back after dying, so.
[ she just. nods very distantly at that whisper. haha. ]

And you get used to it. It's fine.
no subject
[ But in the end, he knows there's not much they can do. ]
Were you guys successful? Collecting all the energy.
no subject
It didn't really matter. We could collect energy and do everything right and something would still go wrong eventually. Every time.
no subject
[ That's so frustrating and he looks frustrated for her. ]
At least you three were together. Being alone in all of that sounds like a nightmare.
no subject
And they came with me, through the gate.
no subject
[ Slacking off is great, sometimes, but... He goes quiet at that. ]
They did. They came with you and they're here. You three are here and made it out of the loops.
[ In a way, a victory. ]
no subject
Netzach said that it took a long time to break the loops in reality. Everyone's world is different, though. So who knows.
no subject
[ Frowns. ]
Does this make you also older now, Alex?
no subject
no subject
[ how did you guys form a team together is it by chance i ]
I personally think age is a mental thing.
no subject
[ ahaha. ]
... So how old do you feel?
no subject
[ So he guesses that's how he looks, in his mid-20s. ]
Sometimes I feel as old as I am.
no subject
Like... Who you're with is half of who you are.
no subject
I use someone else's catchphrase every now and then.
