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.]

[He understands her, at least to some extent. That's what makes this harder. Because, as much as Maya can begin to understand his motivations, and even why he was sorry in the first place, it still manages to dig under her skin. Some small part of her was still frustrated. At him? At everything?]

I know what you mean, of course I know what you mean. I've been feeling like that ever since I got here. [Her fists ball up, like she might try to take another swing... but it never comes.]

I can't-- couldn't channel a spirit to save my life. The thing I trained for my entire life... a-and it's impossible now. I'm... useless as a medium.

[But I never killed anyone for it.]

...I'm not going to beat you up, but I'm still not happy.

[2-D listens to Maya's explanation, and it just.. makes him feel even more guilty. If he had talked to her more, they probably could have bonded over feeling insignificant during the week that finally made him snap. They probably could have prevented such an awful thing from happening in the first place and it just.. drives home how awfully scary humans can be. How scary he can be.]

...thank you. F-for not beatin' me up.

[He didn't really think she had it in her, anyway. But still, he wouldn't have blamed her for it.]

And I'm so.. so sorry. I don't think I'll be able to apologize enough for what I did, but... but thank you, again, for at least hearin' me out in the first place.

...You don't have to thank me for not beating you up. [Make her feel bad about it, why dont'cha.]

You're welcome, for thanking me for listening to your apology, I mean. [Even if she doesn't quite feel like accepting it yet. She lets out a quiet sigh.] Geeze... never thought I'd have a conversation like this one.
