[holesomelanguage]

What the fork is all this?

[vitainmorte]

... A performance, I guess.

[ reading the notif with a frown ]

[holesomelanguage]

Reckon so, it's jus'...

[ Feels weird. ]

Ain't been in one like this.

[vitainmorte]

Me neither. Not one with "sacrificing" something, anyway.

[holesomelanguage]

Definitely ain't likin' the sound o' that.

[vitainmorte]

...

If you don't want to... there's an option to skip it?

[holesomelanguage]

I ain't gonna force ya ta do somethin' you don't wanna.

[vitainmorte]

Well I'm asking you, aren't I?

[holesomelanguage]

I wanna give my best fer Forge, but I ain't fond o' losin' what I got.

[vitainmorte]

Maybe we should decide what we're willing to lose first, then.

[holesomelanguage]

The more important it is, the shorter the time, right?

[vitainmorte]

... Yeah, it seems that way.

[ looking over the stuff again ]

What do you consider important enough to be worth that much?

[holesomelanguage]

Shit... lots o' stuff I ain't real okay with losin'. Which I reckon that's the point.

[vitainmorte]

Let's start small then. Name a few things you wouldn't mind giving up for a day or two?

[holesomelanguage]

... My skills in cuttin' hair, I reckon? Made a lot o' my friends that way, so it's real important ta me.

[vitainmorte]

Inconvenient! I was gonna ask you for a haircut.

It's not a bad option at all... I bet there's a lot of handsy things you could give up or a day or so. Forge problems and all.

[holesomelanguage]

Ya can afford ta wait a few days, I bet.

Eh... my blessin's are useful, but they ain't the whole o' me.

[vitainmorte]

How do you feel about stuff like... memories, or feelings?

[holesomelanguage]

I got 'nuff problems goin' on with memories that I ain't 'bout ta go messin' with that.

... Never thought 'bout feelings though.

[vitainmorte]

Maybe it's for the best, then.

... I'm thinking there's a good few memories I could stand to lose for a few days. Maybe.

[holesomelanguage]

They're important ones ta ya?

[vitainmorte]

All of my memories are important. I don't want to lose any of them, really.

... But I want Sun Sign to win, too. And I want to be able to pull my weight, even if they would dislike me doing this.

[holesomelanguage]

Ain't it better if they ain't mad at ya?

[vitainmorte]

Better to ask forgiveness than permission, right?
