R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[ Hank may not like Vivienne, but whatever, he'll check this out because... well, he's got people he cares about who are still alive.

I mean, he has like three of them but ok. ]

The fuck is this?

[newhire]

They're trying to talk to the dead-- and... because it's in there... it seems like it may actually work.

[She could shut it down, but-- no. She's going to protect the connection for a little while at least.]

It's probably because of the message I gave Rebecca.

[donotlick]

You sent her a fucking message even after I told you to go fuck yourself, didn't you.

[ Why is he not surprised. ]

[preconstruction]

Hank --

[ he reaches over and puts his hand on hank's shoulder. ]

You heard it earlier too. It was for Viral.

[donotlick]

[ Hank chuckles. ]

Yeah, okay, I'm just giving her shit.

[preconstruction]

It's probably a good thing that the others don't give up hope, okay?

[ like he really needs to tell hank that, but. ]

[donotlick]

[ He doesn't, ok. ]

I know, I know. I wouldn't be here if I really didn't give a fuck.

[preconstruction]

Alright.

[ he's less than satisfied but also he does know hank, so. ]

[donotlick]

Hey.

[ Hank holds out his hand. You know why. ]

I mean it, alright? I know how important this is.

[preconstruction]

[ o-oh!!! okay. connor presses his palm against hank's hand. it's different than when they were holding hands before, but this is more like how robots do anyway. ]

Maybe you can say something. Everyone is missing you.

[donotlick]

[ They can't just have deep, tantric sex every time they hold hands. You have to pace that shit. But Hank knows what's up, he's seen Connor do this enough times to know... well, to at least kind of get the idea. Which is why he shares that with him -- he's worried about them. It's scary to worry, to have people he cares about.

Not as much as he cares about Connor, but you know. ]

Yeah, I guess I should, right? Gotta make sure Osomatsu doesn't fucking drink.

[ He says that, but he's proud. Proud of all of them. Connor should be able to tell, since Hank hasn't figured out how to... not share. ]

[preconstruction]

He's trying his best.

[ luckily connor does know how to not share, so he won't share how oso really was when he saw him. ]

[donotlick]

Long as he isn't hitting the bottle again, I'll be happy.

[ Really, his expectations are quite low. But he believes in him. A little. C'mon, Oso. ]

cw alcoholism mentions

[preconstruction]

He wasn't the only one refraining. The gathering after the trial was alcohol free.

[donotlick]

[ oh...... that's nice......... ]

What, seriously?

[preconstruction]

Yes.

[ he shares rebecca's invitations. ]

[donotlick]

[ Oh... that's so nice. Hank is so proud, he doesn't really know what to do with those feelings.

At least Connor can probably feel them so he doesn't have to say anything. ]

Shit.

[preconstruction]

[ connor is glad to feel it -- hank needs a win like that. ]

Not everything is awful.

[donotlick]

Yeah, I guess not.

[ Now he's blushing!! And embarrassed!! He didn't expect anyone to actually listen to all his bitching... ]

[preconstruction]

[ connor lets go of his hand -- this is a better conversation for when they're alone, later. and anyway, there's a lot going on. ]

[newhire]

You're not the only one allowed to send messages.

[donotlick]

[ If he could, Hank would point at the above comment. ]

I'm just being an asshole, don't let that stop you.

[machrophage]

[Hank might feel the glare of a single gold eye at that.]

I just sent on what they needed to hear.

[donotlick]

I'm not against sending messages, jesus.

[ Hank raises his hands in surrender. Maybe he can chill his hateboner for this one thing I GUESS. ]

I've got friends who're still alive too, alright? Least I can do is make sure they're alright.

[itwasfeyt]

They are? Great! I kind of wish I was there to help them, that's sort of my specialty...

[Ehh, she can be glum later.]

But at least they know we're still around.
