[ grits his teeth for a moment, deciding how much of a fight he wants to (or can) put up. He tries to yank his wrist free again. ]

Can't a guy blow off some steam?

[fried]

There are plenty of other ways to blow off steam that don't involve destruction of public property. Other people use these things, you know.

[ he will let go finally, though. his ear flicks. ]

I can find you something to do if you're that desperate.

[foreverphantom]

Oh, great. Just what I wanted, being convenient to someone else. I love being given permission to do things.

[fried]

If you'd like to be treated like an adult, you'll act like one.

Would you like to help me cook something?

[foreverphantom]

[ purses his lips ]

And why would I want to do that?

[fried]

You'll get to eat some of it when we're finished.

[foreverphantom]

That's not as much of an incentive as you think.

[fried]

No? You don't like food?

[foreverphantom]

No.

[fried]

Are you being contrary because you don't like me?

[foreverphantom]

While that is something I would do, no. I'm being truthful right now.

[fried]

Interesting. Will you tell me why?

[foreverphantom]

Because it's disgusting. The sounds and sensations of chewing, the textures, the--swallowing, and the digestion. It's foul.

[fried]

... Oh, I see. You're not accustomed to a physical form.

A heliobus managed to find its way to the afterlife. Curious.

[foreverphantom]

A what?

And I'll have you know I've been in the afterlife. Not being dead was actually the unusual part.

[fried]

A spirit that possesses bodies.

[ he sounds exactly like the one heliobus that jiaoqiu has met it's so funny, it's the only reason he's saying it ]

This is a much different death than you're used to, then?

[foreverphantom]

...oh. Well then in that case, yes, that's not too far off.

Normally by now I would've left the body behind and returned to being a ghost. But I guess this time they wanted to find more creative ways of making me suffer.

[fried]

You must really hate your form if this is suffering.

[foreverphantom]

I'm dead and I don't even get the benefits that come with it.

And I'm still stuck looking like a weak child.

[fried]

I'm going to be very disappointed in how old you actually are, aren't I.

[foreverphantom]

[ glares ]

[fried]

Silence is such a resoundingly loud answer.

Is there anything you enjoy, then?

[foreverphantom]

[ looks off to the side, glaring at nothing ]

...not anymore.

[fried]

[ hmmm. silence, for a moment. ]

I understand. [ simply. genuinely. ] Would you be interested in trying to find something?

[foreverphantom]

[ hunches in on himself a little bit ]

I doubt there'll be anything.
