[ you know where fleas should be? at the circus. the flea circus. this is a normal circus, though, and grace is hanging out on the tight rope.
like, literally, because SOMEONE lost their grace (haha) as a skill and realized too late and now she's hanging from it and looking. so. outraged. when she spots mahito ]
A little help?
[ say it nicely, grace ]

[HE IS SPENDING SO MUCH TIME AT THIS DINGDANG CIRCUS but it really is where he belongs... Anyway, he's just. Trotting over when she calls out, looking more amused than anything.]
Wow... Should I ask how this happened?
[OPENING HIS ARMS THOUGH HE'LL CATCH YOU GRACE he's a buff diglett he can do it.]
Wow... Should I ask how this happened?
[OPENING HIS ARMS THOUGH HE'LL CATCH YOU GRACE he's a buff diglett he can do it.]
[ i'm going to stop tagging you immediately because of buff diglett, but no, grace just. groans. ]
I don't know, I just slipped for no reason? It's like I had no balance.
[ she takes a breath and looks under her before letting go after a moment of hesitation, because it's fine, even if he isn't a buff diglett and fails she probably won't hurt Too much. there is still a little scream when she lets go because oh god why would you ever do this on purpose ]

[EVERYONE RUNS FROM BUFF DIGLETT GET BACK HERE
But fortunately yeah, he may have lost his ability to throw a punch, but he is not magically a twink. He catches her without snapping in half!! There's a soft little "oof", but he barely even tips his balance until he turns to set her back on solid ground.]
Oooh... Yeah, something like that happened to me earlier, too! I just tripped in the middle of a fight.
[HE LOOKED LIKE A FUCKIN FOOL RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS OWN SALAD and also Childe.]

[ grace pats herself down to make sure her clothes aren't too ruffled after this, even though they're really not that fancy to require this ]
So if it's not just me... Don't tell me they're messing with our heads again? Ughhhh.
[ this place SUCKS ]

[ this place SUCKS ]
[MOOD!!! His nose wrinkles and he looks toward the top of the circus tent as if it holds secrets that will explain why they are all cursed and bound in this hell.]
Yeah, Childe also tripped? It was stupid. [It was hilarious is what it was.] Are we going to have to deal with something like this every week, all week...? I want the last thing back.
[At least having jello shots and skittles rain down on you when trying to ask for something Better wasn't so bad.]

See, now that you've asked for it, we'll just get something even worse next week. [ grace, your optimism. she shrugs and starts looking at the other circus things, trying very hard to not be clumsy. which is awful and rude. ] I don't get what any of this has to do with indulging ourselves.
Like being cursed so none of us can sleep?
[That one's already been spoken into existence and hasn't come true yet so SURELY IT'LL BE FINE..... He also just shrugs at that, slipping his hands into his pockets and moseying along after her.
Speaking of indulgences, though--]
Heard from Greed that you were the one who wrecked the music room.
[lmao]

[ greed, you fucking tattletale. grace just smiles though, picking up one of the. idk, clown noses that are hanging around and going honk honk on it ]
Are they still holding a grudge about that? I just wanted to see what would happen.

[He absolutely just seems more amused than anything. God bless Grace, 10/10.]
They seemed pretty cranky, yeah! I think they only mentioned it because we were talking about their group in general...
[THERE'S ONLY THREE OF THEM AND YET THEY'RE ALL MISCREANTS. But he at least assumes Greed isn't going around tattling on her to everyone. Probably.]
Pretty impressive, still! No better way to find something out than to get hands-on involved, right?

Exactly. You get it. [ sound less :3 about it, grace. god. greed has no luck because all three greeds are just? terrible? it's fine. ] If it's meant to be our space, I'm not sure why everyone's so mad when we do whatever we want with it.
[ a beat, as she remembers cheese and steak ]
Then again, some of the food stuff has been super gross.

[Greed did this, to be fair. Greed picked out all three of these feral raccoons and now probably regrets it.]
I do, I do! [HE DOES GET IT he's a very hands-on lad himself.] And I've been wondering that, too. Especially the Avatars, you know? They don't even have to live with us.
[WHY IS GLUTTONY SO ASSBLASTED!! THEIR ASH FOOD. He laughs a little at that, though...]
I still really want to know what happened the cheese. [And the steak, but mostly the cheese...] --Is the music room the only thing you were behind?

Yeah, it's not like we're messing up their space.
[ THE ASH FOOD but she shrugs ]
Broke a few other things, but it all shoots out goo when you do it. It's no fun when the result is you're the mess.
[ worthless!!! ]

[ worthless!!! ]
Yeah, exactly!
[GOD HE'S TIRED. He also vibes with this statement to a degree...]
Wow! I wonder who broke that one washing machine, then... I was with Vira and when she opened it, it just spit a whole stream of goo at her.
[IT WAS HILARIOUS.]
Whoever broke the elevator without getting stuck in it had the right idea.

[ grace shouldn't be laughing at vira but she does, absolutely, laugh at that. although: ]
The elevator? Wasn't that the murderbot? Everyone's been saying so.
[ the rumors of hk 47 fucking an elevator have been a lot ]

[ the rumors of hk 47 fucking an elevator have been a lot ]
Probably! [ she has no clue. she is just deciding it is true. ] It makes the most sense, doesn't it? Half the people here didn't even know how a microwave works, never mind messing with the elevator.
[Oh no, he's laughing again... He's just going to pass this on as the gospel truth now, rip murderbot and your sexy, sexy affair.]
Yeah, that's true! It's kind of funny, isn't it? I'm surprised more stuff isn't getting broken with the way they go about things, honestly!

Are we sure that's not why all the stuff is getting broken in the first place? Maybe it's all just innocent accidents.
[ she says that while they both know she absolutely did the music room on purpose ]
[ she says that while they both know she absolutely did the music room on purpose ]
[It's just one little music room! Clearly Grace is innocent and has done no wrong ever.]
Mmm, you know? Yep! That sounds right to me. Someone just fell on a bottle of cheez whiz and then ran around the room, probably. And then came back the next day and accidentally punched the mini fridge because they forgot how to get it open.
[They've connected the dots.]

[They've connected the dots.]
Exactly. Little mistakes like that just happen! Sometimes you trip onto the vending machine and order seven hundred steaks and leave them there because you don't know how to put them back. It just happens.
[ they haven't connected shit and they know it ]
[ they haven't connected shit and they know it ]
[They are full of shit instead and they know it.]
Yeah, exactly! Wow, it's a good thing we've figured out how that happened. The mystery of it all was going to drive me nuts otherwise, you know? And now we won't have to worry if anything else ends up mysteriously broken in the future!
[THE CHAOS JUST CONTINUES.]

It's the perfect explanation! And no one can be mad if they're just accidents.
[ a beat, and then: ]
But the robot breaking the elevator was definitely on purpose.

Oh, yeah, for sure. You can't accidentally fuck an elevator.
[THE THINGS I'VE HAD TO TYPE IN THIS GAME.
Anyway he says that very surely and just nods solemnly. Then, after a beat:]
Grace, right? How're things treating you outside of the whole murder and goo and falling off of tightropes?

[ she nods solemnly back, because elevator fucking is absolutely what happened ]
Outside of all that? It's alright. A little boring? They tell us to indulge, but there's not much to do that's not, well, each other.
[ or hard drugs, apparently. ]
