[ Dorothy very willingly takes the baseball, staring at the bottles and working on her balance to try for a pitch.
... It clips the side of a bottle but the bottle does not so much as wobble. ]
Oh, I've been about as well as can be expected. Several of my friends died, another was almost executed, you nearly died, and the rest feels like some manner of fever dream because Rufus has only ever done something helpful without charging me once.
And Ange has been staying as strong as she can, but I can tell she's at her limit.
I hope so. She's a kickass little lady, and I want her to do well.
[ she shifts, wincing just a little. ] I know she's had a rough time. I came out of my, uh, adventure? And I meant to check on her, but I lost all my blood, so it was kind of hard to go do that.
But that's fine. If I can figure out how to not be dead, I'm going to come visit you guys and help her topple capitalism or whatever.
[ to be fair to ange, lup came to the conclusion that she needed to destroy capitalism on her own ]
Like I said, provided I figure out how to escape death - it won't be. I'm a really powerful wizard, I can hop worlds real easy.
[ ... as for the rest: ] Uh - well, I feel less like I'm going to die here at least. I think I actually might have croaked during trial if they hadn't used that gun. It felt pretty close.
[ Dorothy makes a softly touched noise, even as she releases her baseball and it whiffs again. ]
I wouldn't say-- well, no, it is rather sappy, but I like it. For what it was, I still managed to have moments where I enjoyed myself-- in no small part, due to you.

[ She blinks, before her eyes soften. ]
Is this a venture I'm allowed to join you on? If not, I'm told I make for excellent moral support.
no subject
[ she hands dorothy a baseball? ]
You can tell me how you're doing while we do.

I'm looking out for her. Ange, I mean. [ lup says, first, leaning against the table. ] She's a sweetheart, so - you know? Anything I can do.
[ she grins a little. ] Hah, were you worried about me?
no subject
[ Dorothy huffs softly. ]
But thank you-- for looking out for her. I think it's done her more than a fair bit of good.

[ Ange, what have you been telling her-- ]
Er, that is... we'd love to have you. I truly do hope this place isn't the last we all see each other.
[ If they were all dragged into this, they might as well get some kind of compensation for it, right? ]
-- Actually, how are you feeling now?

[ Firmly. THANKS, OCHAKO'S GUN. ]
But still... please don't push yourself. It might still take some time to fully recover.
no subject
For sure, for sure. I still have stab wounds, they're just uh, more closed. I'm taking it easy. [ her lips twitch a bit. ] Well. Mostly.
no subject
... "Mostly" is fine. [ Says the lady on crutches. ] I would say a vast improvement over "not at all".
no subject
True! [ she hums. ] Mostly has to do, because someone has to keep Blanca on his toes - which I bet both of us do.
no subject
[ ... is it ]

no subject
[ Blanca. No one else. ]
no subject
Yeah! It's the big ones that surprise you, come on! He's real wild when nobody is looking. [ she hums. ] He likes you, you know, I can tell.
no subject
[ Dorothy hums a little, reaching for another baseball. ]
But not as much as he likes you, I'm sure.
no subject
Well, obviously! I'm incredibly charming. [ she tosses her own baseball up and down in her hand, smiling a bit. ] He's okay, I guess.
no subject
Oh? Just okay? I suppose everyone else is merely average in comparison, then?
no subject
Maybe. I don't kiss and tell. [ stop ] You are much prettier than he is, though! I'll tell you that much.
no subject
[ Poor Blanca. ]
no subject
for a moment, she'll be quiet and toss baseballs, but. ]
Hey, this sounds uh, super... sappy, I guess, so make fun of me as you will! But. If what I think is true, we're almost done with this whole thing.
And it's sucked, for sure, but the people here have made it better. So uh. Thanks, for being part of that.
