[she also hasn't looked at her own by this point - in fact i think she left her phone on the ground somewhere and nobody has returned it yet so she just. peeks at vash's.]
[ ... Vash is very much aware. It's a truth he faced immediately when he read it, but dread sinks in his stomach nevertheless at the reminder. If only it didn't need to be this way.
It shouldn't have to be. He focuses on something else instead. ]
This is as good of a place as any for me, and I don't think there is anybody who would be devastated if I were gone. [...] I do wish there were more trees.
I'm not going to tell you how to play the game, or to win if that's not what you want to do, but I do think there's someone back at home that would be sad to know you're gone.
I know that I am strange. [she has accepted this. a pause.] ... I do what comes naturally to me, but I do not always know what is appropriate. I don't mind being told.

[ Except Vash will finally check this new phone thing he has... Read the rulebook...
And
Well
Hm. ]
Once you win whatever this is!
no subject
Win what?

The regular sane person would be incredulous, but Vash is from Trigun and the wackiest shit and people are there. ]
It reads something like a game?
no subject
... A second chance at life. [she murmurs. and then:] Erase each other?
no subject
Ooooh, I don't like the sound of that! That sounds so... Permanent!
[ LIKE DEATH ISN'T? ]
no subject
It does indeed. [she folds her arms.] Why only on Thursdays?
[why not kill on every day of the week, shenhe asks, because she doesn't know she's in a murdergame]

[ SHENHE REALLY IS SO CHILL ABOUT THIS ]
Why couldn't we play a different game... Like Simon Says!
no subject
-- Simon Says?
no subject
[ NO MURDER ]
Yeah, Simon Says is a game of commands. You're only supposed to follow the orders that come after the phrase "Simon Says."
no subject
... What if they command you to erase someone?
no subject
[ LORd. ]
Snowie, don't tell me you're used to taking lives?
no subject
feels like a trap question
she stares at him for a long moment. unfortunately she's not the type to hide this, so.]
Yes. If it's necessary.
no subject
... Let's hope you don't need to go back on that path while we're here. We can just get points from tasks—it isn't necessary.
no subject
I don't feel strongly about my second chance. But you can expect some people will, Vash.

You don't?

I agree on the trees! Love trees!

she is a little taken aback at the whiplash of those two sentiments, though. her poor hamster brain already has a hard time with social cues!!]
... You are a strange person. [but she doesn't hate it.]
no subject
Like in a good way?!
no subject
... Yes. [she will give him that, sure.]
no subject
[ Vash somehow says it nicer and yet......... ]
no subject
Ah. I am trying not to be... weird. [task failed successfully]
no subject

You're doing great! You're not overly weird? Just kinda quirky!
