And none of them have mentioned meeting anyone who sounds remotely like him. I know.

[She glares down at the ground, frustrated.]

So what now?

[bittybat]

[Reaching up, he rubs the tips of his fingers over the socket of one of his eyes.]

We're on a triple-decker bus, as far as I can tell. It's moving. That means we're en route to a destination, and we have to wait until we arrive. Have you tried the Ouija board on the upper level?

[successives]

[She shakes her head.]

It seemed pretty shady to me. You?

[bittybat]

Afraid of spirits, Goodman? [He's only slightly amused by the jab.] I tried it.

Someone or something responds.

[successives]

No.

[Despite the immediate denial, the answer is at least a little bit yes.]

...What did they say to you?

[bittybat]

I demanded they duel me.

[of COURSE he did he is so stupid]

They said, "Fine. Come and find me," but wouldn't tell me if they would be present at the place the bus will likely stop.

[successives]

[...]

What is it with you and demanding that people duel you? Was this a thing even before Whole Ass?

[bittybat]

[LET HIM LIVE]

There is no point in wasting time playing another game with our lives. Do you want that, Goodman? It would be idiotic not to try.

[successives]

You could at least talk to someone before trying to start a fight, you know.

[Which is hilarious coming from her, but.]

[bittybat]

There is no opportunity for discussion when we're hostages. Only extortion.

If they wanted to tell us anything substantial, they would have been here to deliver the message in person, like Hal, or they would have found a way to communicate. A willingness to talk.

[successives]

... I meant talk to one of us before trying to duel whoever’s in charge.

[She crosses her arms.]

At least, I’m assuming you didn’t say anything to Jason or Percy.

[bittybat]

[Oh. That's fair. Natalie is very valid.]

The rest of you don't have to know, as long as I win. [He won't say anything about not winning, however.] I didn't.

[successives]

[Once again, it looks like she's holding in a stronger reaction for a few seconds, before:]

...You realize that you both don't have to and shouldn't do everything on your own, right?

[bittybat]

[He just makes a face at her. Don't scold him.]

It's easier that way.

[successives]

For who, exactly?

[She's actually not sure if he'll say for him or for everyone else, but she's ready to argue either way.]

[bittybat]

[me and natalie both closing our eyes]

Me and everyone else.

[successives]

So you think everyone is going to be happy that you went behind their backs, or...?

[That makes it sound like he wasn't trying to help anyone, which isn't exactly fair, but.]

[bittybat]

You can dislike me, or hate me, Goodman. I don't care. I wanted to see what they were made of, if they would accept.

[successives]

Literally when did I say I was going to hate you? Why are you—

[aaaaaaaa]

I am trying really hard not to be an asshole, do you think you could maybe do the same?

[I'm trying to be nice, she says, seconds before calling this ten year old an asshole,,]

[bittybat]

[The face he makes says that he literally does this all the time, so he doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. "Not be an asshole"? That's just who he is!]

Why?

[successives]

I don't know, basic decency or something?

[bittybat]

I meant why are you trying to be nice to me?

[successives]

Oh. Jason told me to.

[dON'T JUST ADMIT THAT]

[bittybat]

[LMAO NATALIE AAAA

Damian rolls his eyes.]

Tell Todd to mind his own business.

[successives]

...It's because he cares about you, you know.
