Showing up is half the battle sometimes, man. Do you know how many parties I used to go to where I absolutely didn't know what I was doing there?

[subordinacy]

No...?

[sixam]

A lot. Mostly because other people would invite me and it felt rude not to at least make an appearance.

[subordinacy]

Ah. I've attended... formal gatherings, but at least the etiquette for those doesn't deviate much.

[sixam]

What counts as formal gatherings? Like business dinners?

[subordinacy]

Something like that, yes. Politically motivated gatherings.

[sixam]

Sounds horrible, Setz. [ kill him, actually. ] Hopefully this is a little more relaxing for you?

[subordinacy]

It's... different.

[he cannot say entirely that it's more relaxing because he still has the vibes of what am i doing here.]

[sixam]

Different is a start. Think of it as a new experience to take back.

[subordinacy]

[...]

I guess that's one way to look at it. May it... be a memory for you to take back, as well.

[sixam]

[ setz you are so funny and awkward it wraps around to being cute. but there's a smile anyway. ]

Thanks. [ ... ] A little nicer of a memory than everything from earlier today, you know? Having the good to balance out the bad.

[subordinacy]

[stop

setz pauses because he can't relate to coping with the bad in ways that aren't burying yourself in work and driving your health to the ground, but.]

If it makes people happy, then it's worthwhile, I think.

[sixam]

[ listen. you saw how heaven went for him, we are both trying to dig ourselves out here. ]

It helps more than I think any of us notice at first, so. I'll take it.

[subordinacy]

[i don't know that setz is trying to dig himself out because both canon and reap just taught him that as long as he's not snapping and going on a revenge quest then his coping mechanisms are probably fine.]

I guess these things build up.

[sixam]

[ i'm going to shake him upside down actually. ]

You guess?

[subordinacy]

[looks at jonas like what do you want from him.]
