[It... definitely takes a while for the weekly after-execution note to arrive, but it does --- kind of scrawly and on ripped paper rather than nice stationery.]

EY. YO. WE GOT EFFIGIES IN THE DINING ROOM AND WE'RE GONNA BURN EM.

FOOD TOO. THE USUAL AND HOT COCOA. GOOD FOR THE SOUL. GET SOME. MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR ROOM IF YOU HAVE TO. JUST GET SOME.

[Anyway, in the dining room, there's plenty of mugs set out, with a janky looking arrow sign pointing into the kitchen to where you can get your hot cocoa. On the table, there's Vichyssoise, a pot of green tea, and some booze. There's also a cookie tray on the floor away from the table on which to burn the Wordsmith and Kimbley effigies, which are handily placed near the food on the table.

...also if you go in the kitchen without shoes on just. Watch the northern corner. There's no kidneys, but there's a lot of broken plates there for some reason...]

Look. How do you.

...

[he pulls his hood over his goddamn face in shame.]

She's an older, married woman you know, dear Guzma. That's quite the uphill courting for you.

[ HAHAHAHAA.

TEASING. ]

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, I know it's kind of hopeless, so.

[SHRUG......]

It's kind of like how you would be really happy if someone gave you a million bucks with no strings, but you don't expect it.

[matchbreaker]

That's not a very manly response, you know. But it is pretty level-headed, so I'll give you half points!

[ She laughs at this, haughty and arrogant - but that does trail off into a yawn by the end. Man. ]

[acherontiastyx]

Hey, come on, my... unrelated big sister who's actually a few years younger than me told me it's creepy and weird to expect girls to date you because you're nice to them!

[ . . . . . ]

[matchbreaker]

Well that's true.

[ There's no doubt there!! ]

... But it's also true that while that shouldn't be expected, it's not like a woman can't be impressed with a reliable kindness.

[acherontiastyx]

Oh, yeah, right. I mean, you're probably not gonna win the lottery, but you're never gonna win if you never go and play it, right?

[matchbreaker]

So is our "big, bad" Guzma playing the odds now?

[acherontiastyx]

...Look. I mean. It's not like I wanna be tied down. So it'd probably be fine if it didn't...

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Hah ]

It would be fine if you didn't, it's true. [ She brushes her hair a little, but ends it by pointing a fingering right at him ] A man should only try to do what they won't regret.
