No.

[ she knows how that question ends, so she might as well just be honest about it.

she is not okay. ]

But I'll deal.

[successives]

...Yeah, I can't really blame you.

[She hesitates for a moment.]

I'm - really sorry.

[vigilantics]

[ she rubs at the back of her neck. ]

It's-- [ well. not fine. ] He's going to yell at us for doing a bad job.

[successives]

...I think you did the best you could.

[She's pretty sure they all suck at this, actually, but she isn't going to say that to Stephanie of all people right now.]

[vigilantics]

[ steph got uno thing right and honestly that is more than i, francy, have gotten right in the rest of my mg trial career ]

... I'll just have to do better then.

[successives]

Right, but... It's not just you.

[vigilantics]

... logically, I know you're right.

[ but..... ]

[successives]

...Yeah, I get it. It probably feels even more personal now.

[Steph has awful luck with losing friends so far, wow.]

[vigilantics]

[ GEE ELI!!!!! I WONDER WHY!!!! ]

I guess I just have really shitty luck.

[successives]

[STOP]

There's always a chance it'll get better...?

[vigilantics]

Honestly? It might. We can't say how next week is going to go just based on how shitty this week was.

... but it's hard to think about that.

[successives]

I think you've probably earned a couple days to not think about next week, honestly.

[vigilantics]

... I wish we got vacations days here.

[successives]

Right? Even Monday through Thursday doesn’t really count. Lame.

[vigilantics]

They give you the false security of a normal day, until you lose an arm.

[successives]

[...]

Hypothetical example, or...

[vigilantics]

Hypothetical.

[ ... ]

I lost a leg.

[successives]

Yikes. Somehow that seems even more inconvenient.

[vigilantics]

It was.

The castle had so many long staircases...

[successives]

Did they fix you up with crutches, at least?

[vigilantics]

Yeah.

And a friend of mine there was an inventor. He made me a makeshift leg.

[ it wasn't the prettiest or most functional thing, but it helped. ]

[successives]

...That was nice of him. I guess he wouldn't have been able to do that if it was your arm.

[Since functioning hands seem... tricky to make.]

[vigilantics]

Yeah, the... technology there wasn't super advanced for that.

[ since it was a

fairy tale castle ]

[successives]

[...]

How'd it happen?

[vigilantics]

I voted for myself.

[ she sounds more amused than anything. ]

... it was another trial where we didn't catch the right person, actually.
