It won't kill you to skip a day or just start later.

[ thorns has some concerns... working while sleep deprived can be more dangerous than being drunk. ]

That only works if there's a clear line of communication. If I miss two days in a row, people will start wondering whether you actually exorcised me.

[ this is just another day, thorns… ]

What're you going to do about that?

It would be a good way to test how much they miss you.

[ OKAY.

maybe the ghost will develop a devout following? ]

[ the problem with this is that elysium's sense of humour is terrible and he can see how it could be funny.

however.

however!!

If another potato incident happens, you aren't going to freak out, are you?

I didn't freak out when the first one happened.

[ he doesn't consider his agonizing over funds a freak out, he considers it being him very practical and smart. ]

What if I start being called unreliable…

[ he'll feel like he's bad at his job… and will need to defend his own honour… even if he's totally anonymous, that's still his work. ]

[ they really shouldn't be relying this much on a ghost in the first place!! what happens when elysium gets bored of this and leaves? they will need to learn how to do work again. ]

Isn't my opinion the one that matters here, on whether or not you're doing a good job?

[



okay.

thorns is not wrong.

Am I doing a good job, Thorns?

[ he is so annoying. ]

[ help.

hm... he considers everything elysium has done... ]


Sure.

[ he's going to kill thorns. ]

Is this how you usually give feedback?

You did good...

claps? does this make it better? ]

That wasn't the question.

[ he reaches over to grab thorns' wrist… stopping him from clapping any more than he has. this is just sad now even by his standards. ]

I know I did good. But you should throw your colleagues more of a bone…

I throw enough bones.

[ okay.

I just think you need to not stress yourself out.

[ what bones, asks everyone ever. ]

It just doesn't feel right to be a freeloader when you're still in your transition period. There's a lot of work to be done, yeah? The sooner everything gets fixed up, the sooner everyone gets to relax. That's all.

You included.

You've been doing the opposite of freeloading though...

[ which is why thorns thinks elysium taking a nap won't hurt, but it seems like he doesn't have any plans to. ]

Don't pass out in the middle of the hall.

Wrong. I have been.

[ just says it again but with more of an air of finality. for as long as he isn't an official member of the crew, he is a freeloader… ]

But, you too. Don't fall off the ship when I'm not looking.

[personal profile] oversea 2026-02-04 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to fall off...

[ he huffs, and just leans over so he can flick elysium on the nose. ]

See you later.

You say that now…

[ if thorns doesn't fall off, how is elysium supposed to trigger the suspension bridge effect? make thorns fall madly in love with him? his gaze seems to linger…

but just kidding. he isn't thinking about that at all—maybe. his nose wrinkles, arms crossing in protest.

Be a good role model and sleep well.
