[salbutamol]

You make it sound like it's an actual place.

It happened here but I think.
I'm pretty sure I wanted it to happen back there too. I think I would've, if the chance came up.
That's pretty bad. I don't know it's complicated.

[rottingly]

it is
i went there.
i was going to spend an eternity in darkness.

sounds like you're human, eddie
i'm probably not the right person, but
it's not as bad as it sounds.
i still don't think you're a bad person.

[salbutamol]

That's fucked up. There shouldn't be anything deciding who gets punished for the rest of the afterlife. Morality is totally subjective anyway.
I don't think you deserve that.

It's not great either though.
I took my wedding vows seriously when I made them, but then this person. I don't know. This all feels very messy.

[rottingly]

my thoughts exactly
we're all human
the good and the bad.


people change
priorities change
do you think you want a divorce? that's an option.

[salbutamol]

Does that mean there's a heaven where you're from too? Maybe everywhere has one.
I don't want the religious nuts to be right :(


I've wanted a divorce since I got married, that's just normal.
Doesn't everyone hate being married?

[rottingly]

if there is, i haven't seen it
but there are plenty of gods in my world.

jesus, eddie
no, not everyone hates being married.
no one ever told you just to get a divorce?

[salbutamol]

Sounds exhausting. Do they help?With like the world and shit.

I don't hate her I just hate the whole. Marriage. I just don't like the part where you have to explain where you are and what you're doing all the time or the other person freaks out.

I haven't told anyone any of this before.
I don't really talk about things to people normally.

[rottingly]

no all they cause is shit
and not the good kind of shit.

you don't hate her, but you don't love her.
marriage isn't supposed to suck, eddie.

[salbutamol]

Does everyone know about them? Are they just walking about, fucking everything up? We have a. Not a God but a something problem. I'm not sure what it is.

I think it might be relevant but the friend from home is a man. So.

[rottingly]

they're just walking around. fucking everything up.
but a something problem?

oh shit, eddie.
now it makes sense.

[salbutamol]

Just one. I don't really know what it is, maybe an alien. It's got the whole 'all powerful, fucking things up' thing going for it though, so maybe a god. Who knows.

To you, maybe. It doesn't make sense to me.

[rottingly]

what's it called?

i know sexuality is this complex thing
but you're gay.

[salbutamol]

I don't know if it has a name, we always just called it 'It'. Fucking creep of a thing.

I think so. Probably.
I didn't know that was what being attracted to someone felt like. So probably I'm that.

( 'gay' eddie, you can say it )

[rottingly]

it? that is fucking creepy.

there's nothing wrong with being gay.

[salbutamol]

Yeah picture murder clown. Very creepy.

I know it's fine to be gay I'm not fucking homophobic

( ... )

Sorry.

[rottingly]

a murder clown? fuck that.

take it a notch down, fella.
considering you are just now realizing you're gay, i won't toss your ass across the room.

[salbutamol]

Yeah look it's pretty not great.

I am sorry, but also I do feel I should point out you probably couldn't do that. Absolutely believe you could kick my ass, but across a room is a bit of an exaggeration.

[rottingly]

i would shit myself.

i can literally throw you across the room. i could carry you fireman style, if you want me to show you.

[salbutamol]

Honestly it's amazing we didn't.

Sorry were you hiding body builder muscles somewhere or is this a... revenant thing? I don't care if people call me pocket sized it's patently untrue.

[rottingly]

what did it want?

it was the lucky coin but i don't have it anymore
so it's this place that's keeping me like i was.
that's my guess anyway.

i can see why people call you pocket sized.

[salbutamol]

To eat people, mostly.

Are there any other secret powers I should know about? If you're going to turn invisible or breathe fire in front of me a heads up would be helpful. I think you'd find it rude if I stared, and I spook easily.

I'm LITERALLY average height and you're tiny.

[rottingly]

i'm undead and i have super strength.
and i got exceptionally good at tracking my husband.
i see this bright light around him.
literally the light of my life.

[salbutamol]

That's...kind of sweet, actually. A little on the nose, but sweet.
Do you love him?

[rottingly]

yeah
i think i do.

[salbutamol]

It's got to be good that he's here then, right?
