Question - do we keep the TDM and go from there, or do they met for the first time again? Moving in to the A-frame - handwave the initial awkwardness and just keep going? I was thinking of having Q go through every single thing he can on the tablet and then head on over to the archive to research absolutely everything - tunnel vision ahoy, so. warning?

[itselbitch]

we can keep it, I think. a lot of games allow taking tdm as canon now and since it's vaguely based on actual in-game stuff and tdm is acceptable in AC, I figure that stands here too, even if I don't see it explicitly stated anywhere. I'm okay with continuing the TDM stuff (probably just the action thread) and hand-waving moving in before they go off and do their own thing.

sigh. why are you like this, Q... Eliot will go looking for him if he hasn't seen that nerd in 24 hrs. just to make sure he didn't die again. y'know.

[moderatelymaladjusted]

Okay, so - x amount of hours after meeting up, getting all 'OMG El, why did you die, you fucker?' and all of that, they find a house, move in, stare sadly at the fairy lights and Q is all awkward about where the hell are they going to sleep? How are they going to get food? We should play that out or hash it out who does what? Find food and water, find help / info? Quentin is hoping he'll get lucky and just stumble over a book that explains just everything (like always) and is going to go do that? At some point? After a lot of awkward being relieved and angry and scared and sad and all upset and Fucking Eliot, you threw in a peach I could just kill you!

24 hours? Brave man, since Q can get in to a lot of trouble in a whole day.

[itselbitch]

def stare sadly at dairy lights, Eliot especially (😞). we can hash it out or thread it. I'm open to both!

wow um you died so he's allowed to throw in a peach.

yeah, look, Q gets to be unreasonably hopeful about finding his mystery book and Eliot gets to be unreasonably hopeful that Q won't be in deep shit when he finds him.

[moderatelymaladjusted]

Hey, so am I, so- that gets us nowhere fast. You throw something up and I'll find you?

Uhm, I only died a little and got better apparently and no, no peaches! No peaches like ever! They are banned from the hut and Quentin is going to throw them out if Eliot ever brings any. They're too sad and really, with what Q knows, that was just a slap in the face.

Hey, it's a small town and he's already dead? How much trouble could he possibly get in to? (the answer is; a shitload.)

[itselbitch]

yeah sure. I'm out for a few more hours but Ill put something up.

wow no. peaches are fucking delicious. fuck you, q. he's going to keep them in his room.

SIGHS. it's that exact mentality that makes him a magnet for trouble.

[moderatelymaladjusted]

Sure thing, I'll tag back when I get up tomorrow. Don't get too drunk

Uhm, nah ah. Also, Quentin has no moral problem ransacking Eliot's room to find them and oops! out the window they go. Sorry-not-sorry?

That's like a birth-defect or something. And he goes looking for it directly, which really doesn't help. But yay, El is going to find him before he hurls himself off a cliff as a sacrifice to the Old Ones or something.

[itselbitch]

I'll do my best. no promises. 😉

WOW. he will fight you, Coldwater. and he's taller and MUCH stronger.

yes, thank Christ he doesn't have to find your dead body this time.

[moderatelymaladjusted]

Ha! Riiiight, that sounds promising

Oi, Quentin's got muscles. Somewhere. I mean, he's walking upright, right? So... like, in his legs, from all that pacing? And he's sneaky and not above fighting dirty, so come at me, Waugh!

He didn't find his dead body last time either. And - this is a big and- Quentin already had to dig a grave and shove (place gently and wrapped in their quilt) Eliot in to it. By hand. And keep on living with that. So. Just. That's a thing that happened and that Q remembers. How? No one knows, because while El remembered everything from that peach he ate, Quentin never eats anything in the throne room. He just - remembers. From the letter he wrote or the scent of peaches. I dunno. But he remembers burying you! And it sucked!
