halved | catch-all: ashlyn.

[ ashlyn holds up. a fucking glass jar half-full of teeth. there is a fairy inside gnawing on the teeth. ]

Yeah. Maybe next week, then.

What the hell.

Yeah.

Holy crap... Where'd you even find it?

It was in some... Final area when we had finished everything else. Right before we came back. Lavi got something too.

... I'll ask him about it, too.

You don't have any idea what it's for? Or if it's supposed to do anything?

Not yet. I'm going to ask the overseers about it next time I talk to them.

[nods...]

Let me know what they say. If they can't tell what it is either, then I'll use my power on it next week.

I'll let you know. It might be worth double checking anyway, but—it's your power so it's up to you how to use it.

Yeah, that's okay. [but, also--] You said you found it in the "final area." But where did you guys even go?

Hell...? I think....?

A big building. And a woman named Hope made us go find a hammer to set her free from the devil Raphael.

[I SEE... THE SPN CYOA..........]

Uh. [HUH.] Did you... do it?

[ HELP. yeah it was the spn cyoa. ]

... Yeah. [ WHY DID SHE HESITATE ]

[GIRL... she pauses and then lifts an eyebrow.]

Did something else happen?

Raphael offered us an easy out, if we just didn't rescue Hope instead. So we took a quick vote.

I'm guessing the vote didn't go how you hoped...?

We tied. Between the four of us. Hope was the tie-breaker herself.

Oh my god.

It was really awkward.

Why did half of you vote to ditch her right in front of her...

[ SWEATS ]

We'd already figured out that it wasn't as if everything there was real. It could hurt us, but the people there weren't really there, so...

So you figured there wouldn't be consequences?

... I figured it would be better to hurt someone who was part of some torture illusion instead of risking the others getting hurt more.

I mean, I don't think you're wrong.

With the kind of guy Raphael was, I bet we'd just have to fight no matter how the vote went.
