[ trust is such a funny word. such an important, fragile little thing, so easily broken, so hard to make. it's always been that way for vax; maybe because of that he's lucky that he's been brought to this fucked up place with people he cares for. or maybe, maybe that just makes it worse.
vin's name visibly makes him react, brows knitting together in concern for a moment, but he doesn't say anything of it, just looking down at the tea. ]
Guess that's the point. Place wants to suck us in, eat us alive. Split the party, makes it easier to pick them off.

[buzen nods.
and then he just shrugs and leans back a little - ]
So we make it impossible, right? We stick together stubbornly, and don't let anyone get left behind. No matter what comes, we accept it, even if it's hard to look at... and endure it together.
At least - that's what I know about hopeless situations.
Sometimes it makes a difference just to have someone at your side.

[ buzen really out here saying this otome game shit i love him
that optimism feels familiar - vax can't help the wry sort of smile that comes onto his face. maybe it's less misguided than his own, but that's what he thinks, too. ]
Yeah. Could do worse, far as comrades go. [ heh. ] We're a bunch of assholes, but, maybe we can pull it off.

[buzen nods at that - satisfied. for some reason, he felt rather certain that vax would be able to understand. the idea that you will live out your purpose for others and then, at some point, that time will be up.
and that's okay. it really is.]
Somebody, huh... [it makes him smile a little bit] I'd like it then, if it was you.
Let's meet again, at the end of everything.

[ knock knock buzen!!
there's somebody at your motor home door. specifically, it's vax, holding up a can of their terrible mountain dew upon sight ]
Hey, Bu. You getting busy in there, or can you spare a minute for a drink with a friend? [ don't tease ]

From the sugar? [ he laughs, though - it's genuine, and buzen's dumb grin gets a fond one back. here bud take your soda ] Heard you guys might've gotten a little wild before you came back.
Was the same here, though, so. Trying to lay off the sauce for my last few days. How'd you like the place?

Course. Think we're just glad to have you guys back. I thought - well.
[ he reaches up to absently knock his knuckles against his own chest, over his heart. ] Wasn't sure you'd be coming back to us with a working one of these or not. So. I'm especially glad for that.

Not so much your hearts, but your heartbeats. I wasn't sure that you'd be back at all.
[ instead of just... in limbo. ]
Thought I'd have my work cut out for me whenever we got free of this place, trying to get you all somewhere to rest properly. 's not so easy to just bring people back to life, at home - [ somewhere, cad, screaming gently with his mouth closed, ] - and it comes with a cost.
So I'm glad it's just that death here's been fucked up all along.

[hmmm. buzen tilts his head at that]
... well, you're not wrong. When people are meant to die, they should die and stay dead. That's how it is for us too, or else... things go really wrong.
But this is a weird pocket of a space. I don't think anything's really meant to happen here.
It just... is.

[buzen will just head up to the rooftop and grin when he catches sight of vax there]
Vax-san!
[maybe he is an optimist and that's why he's not getting too bogged down by everything - but he'll go sit next to him and gently bump shoulders]
Hey.
Vax-san!

Hey.
