WHY cause we're paid to cuddle people. I think this counts as a bounty board now?

Also where you at? / you worked out living arrangements yet?

[athenaie]

Gaige.

[ LITERALLY JUST. JUST. ]

Not yet. Why?

[machinamentum]

'Sup sup.

yeah neither. I've got the apartment they set us up with?

But it's kind of. weird. being alone? Everything's so...

[ Nice, but no that's the wrong word. Quiet, maybe. That's not right either. But it leaves her itching, unable to sleep. Body clock ticking over wearily because there's no gun to reach for and she's nervous and twitchy and unable to settle. It's the missing people, sure, but it's more than that. She might not having Athena's background, she came from a good home, a loving family.

But Pandora had made her again as something else, like it did with everyone, and it didn't exactly leave her dealing with this sudden being adrift very well. ]

[athenaie]

[ It's a sentence she doesn't have to finish, one Athena can understand without the end of it. Even with her own weapons at had she feels uneasy. Body wound tight like a spring just waiting for release upon something. Skag, bandit, any sign of danger it didn't matter what.

She never thought the feeling of safety would be so uncomfortable. ]

How many rooms are there?

[machinamentum]

[ There's a relief on her end, understood, doesn't need to be explained and a line of tension goes out of her shoulders as she types back. ]

Uh, it's kind of just a one room sort of deal but it's pretty big and there's a couch? Could find another bed pretty easy I think if we look.

[ hard to gauge because she's been living with the crimson raiders, and that's just bunk beds in a big room. All her living needs strapped to her back and arm with no privacy really to speak of. Not that it mattered, fighting day in day out, hardly like she had time in between all that to really feel that loss. ]

[athenaie]

I've slept in worse.

[ As long as there is a roof over her head and another body to watch her back when she closes her eyes, Athena is fine with it. ]

[machinamentum]

I know right? They just give you this shit here, it's insane.

[ She isn't even sure if she can bring herself to trust it. There's gotta be some kind of surprise bandit attack here somewhere right? Right??? ]

[athenaie]

Yeah, I'm surprised I haven't had to shoot anyone for anything yet.

[ Which might be a joke? Maybe? Or the honest truth. They do a lot of that after all. Shoot people for stuff. ]

No offense to your girlfriend I'm not edging in on her territory or anything not that I think you'd ever
you know it's

I just want someone around I trust.

[athenaie]

[ Lesson one of Pandora, Rhys, do not trust anyone who lives in Pandora. Not even the badass gladiator who has promised to ensure your safety against any angry vault hunters who may or may not want to throttle you in the future.

And yet here he is, claiming that trust he should be warned against. It gives Athena a larger moment of pause than she would consider is acceptable. ]

I didn't realize you trust me.

[hackjack]

issss that weird?

[athenaie]

No
Just surprising.

[hackjack]

Hey
I'm full of them. :)

[Literally, if you count Jack.]

[athenaie]

[ Terrible jokes could be made right now, but they aren't. Because Athena doesn't have the maturity of a five year old. ]

Who would have thought

[hackjack]

Uh literally everyone that has ever met me.

[athenaie]

You don't give off a 'full of surprises' sort of vibe, Rhys.

[tougher]

[GOD THIS IS AWKWARD, SHE HATES THIS APP but its for Sasha.]

I know I don't need to tell you not to look into it, but the sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can get back to...everything.

[athenaie]

[ Isn't it? Athena spends more of her time just glaring at it than anything. ]

I understand, you don't need to say anything.

[athenaie]

Thanks [ SHE GUESSES??? HOW DOES SHE DO THESE THINGS? ]

[dampened]

You're welcome. I think. I don't really know how this is supposed to work.

[ hi5 for being confused by cuddlr ]

[athenaie]

[ Someone who understands. That makes this .5% less awkward. ]

You're not the only one. [ Honestly it feels like a waste of time honestly. ] I'm not -- i don't do these things usually.

[ Because well... not really the hugging sort. ]

[dampened]

The cuddlr or the cuddling? Or both?

[athenaie]

Both.

[dampened]

That's a tight spot to be in.
