[involuntary]

Do you not like him?

[diarists]

i like him just fine! there's a big difference between liking someone and letting them into the group chat, though!!

what if he talks about boring stuff? what if he tries to get us to eat well and lectures us about safe sex or something embarrassing?

lott what if one of us lets something slip about
anything?

[doped]

we just don't talk about anything. we make a promise
swear it with blood since that's the fucking langauge lottie speaks

[involuntary]

[ wow ]

I can see this, you know.

[doped]

am i wrong? i've probably drank a gallon of your blood at this point
which is just one of the many things we won't have to talk about after we agree

[involuntary]

You're the one asking for blood, not me.

I would have been fine with a pinky promise.

[doped]

i'd be fucking THRILLED for a pinky swear for once

[involuntary]

So ask for one then.

[doped]

you can't pinky promise over the phone dumbass

[involuntary]

You can't trade blood either, idiot.

[doped]

fucking fine lottie
pinky swear we don't talk about it, or the woods, or any of the weird fucked up shit that we did out there

[involuntary]

I wasn't going to anyway.

[doped]

don't be cute

[involuntary]

[ so you think i'm cute-- ]

I'm not going to tell anyone. I promise.

[doped]

( i saw you outside, she thinks. with the altar. i know what you're doing. i know you haven't left it behind. )

okay. good
me either

[involuntary]

I knew you wouldn't.

[diarists]

[she almost replies it's all their language, the only one they have left.]

okay. deal. we get our story straight for him. [unspoken: and for jackie.]

[doped]

we just say

we just say we got stuck in the woods because of a plane crash and anything that happened because of that we're not gonna talk about. ham up being traumatized
if he or anyone else pushes then they're an asshole and not worth it

[diarists]

okay.

okay, yeah.
we don't say a word about any of it.
ever.
