Did you miss Woden turning Maurtia Falls into his mind control fuck-palace? [ You're lucky, Riptide. ] He's worse than ever. You need to stay away from him.

Is only being hit with a missile once good for you? I don't know if I should be surprised. [ It kind of worries her, but he seems to be playing it down... ] And frankly, I'm too worried about the effects of a bunch of people with brand-new superpowers screwing around on the moon to ever want to go. I'm surprised they let us up there in the first place.

apparently yes that is messed up what's happening with him? is he in jail?? why would it be good for me? it killed me it's pretty new actually and it's fun, so far no-one has done anything stupid up there

[ HEY HOLD UP A SECOND. He...just is throwing in that he died like that? She knows people go through the wringer here, but... ] Wait, Jesus fuck, you could have mentioned you died. Are you alright?

And, no, Woden's not in jail. It's where he fucking should be. But he got killed too. So who knows what he's going to be up to now. [ Riptide dying is still the most important topic for the conversation now, but she does feel the need to make the Woden warning clear. ]

oh yeah sorry i'm fine, i barely remember it and it's far from the first time i've been blown up that sucks is he back? maybe we'll luck out and he'll stay dead

[ Despite the reassurance, she feels...pretty bad about that. Riptide's bizarre to be around, but is far from hostile, despite his background. ] You must know dying shouldn't be that normal to you. Even around here.

Don't get my hopes up about Woden. He has the uncanny ability to weasel his way out of literally anything.

this is going to be very melodramatic but also true: people dying and being dead is probably the one constant that's ever been in my life trust me it's fine gross at least he's not back just yet then. there's still hope.

I'll take your word for it. [ Typed sort of reluctantly. But what else can she tell him? ]

I don't know if that's true. He's unfortunately very good at hiding out around here, which is new. But none of us have seen under his shitty robot mask. He must use that to slither around.

i hate that people i know don't have faces but they're not hiding anything under their faceplates they just don't have faces unmask him, maybe?

I don't know how much it would help. Frankly, he seems like the kind of fucker who would just start lashing out if we exposed him. More than he already does.

Maybe it would protect people if they knew who he was. But maybe it would make it worse. We have to do more than just that.

don't care, he needs to accept responsibility for his actions if he can't even do that then he should be hit with a power nullifier and throw in jail like every other crazy dickhead

That's the fucking problem. We used to have a power-nullifying jail back in London, and we even used it for a while. But he's the one who made it. None of the rest of us could even try. And it looks like nobody stays imprisoned here, so what's the point in letting the government do it?

I'd rather us do it ourselves and so we know he's taken care of. We just don't know how.

[ Killing him doesn't stick, after all. ]

theres plenty here that isnt his even if it doesnt stick, deterrent? how humans even do imprisonment, do u take limbs off?

I still want to make sure they'll work on him. He's also the technological genius, unfortunately.

But also, what the fuck, no? What sort of macabre bullshit is that? Why is everyone here from a world with some sort of massive rights violation entrenched into society? [ why are you like this, Riptide ]

he can't make technology stuff if he has no arms, i'm just saying sorry though i forget how humans work i'm sure something can be figured out, though there's too many super powered people here that would hate and presumably do hate what he's doing and done to let him keep getting away with it

[ Admittedly, Riptide's suggestion is...very similar to some Pantheon-specific suggestions. She just wasn't expecting it from him. But what can you expect from him, right? ]

Just for reference, humans usually die when our limbs are ripped off.

I know. But I don't want him hurting any more people if he gets the chance. He can hold back a on a grudge for a long time. [ She knows that well. ] You know how it is.

okay i'm not planning to do that to literally anyone ever if you're worried but thanks for the advice? i do do you know... why he's doing this?

Frankly, I think he's just a sick pervert who wants power any place he can get it. He started by fetishizing Asian girls and then kept working his way up the bullshit ladder from there.

[ Does Riptide even know what that means? Whatever, she's exhausted. She doesn't feel like explaining. ]

We always knew he was awful. We just didn't know how awful. [ She really should have. She's constantly mad at herself for not knowing sooner. ] And here he knows he has even fewer limits than he did before.

it's always a sex thing i have not seen one human problem here that hasn't been a sex thing that's still nasty as hell though that's

[...]

are you doing okay? because getaway being around makes me really upset and i feel like its the same for you with woden do you wanna talk about it properly or anything?

We have plenty of problems that aren't sex things. [ ...But. ] People tend to care about those things way fucking more than the bigger picture, though.

[ God, is he prying? This weird alien machine thing is prying? She can't deny that her and Riptide have...a weird amount of things in common. Everything he's told her about Getaway reminds her of her situation with Woden, sometimes a little too much. But she's also tired and touchy and doesn't want to dig deep into this. She doesn't ever want to dig deep into this- but especially right now. ]

I'm fine. It's all fucked, but it could be worse.

[ She's not Dio. ]

[wow okay he's a people, cass!!]

okay if you need someone to talk to i'm around or if you just wanna shoot shit and ignore everything. i can do that too.

[ She knows he's pretty much just as human- for lack of a better phrase- than any of them. She just...can't believe what her life has become.

This is when she should say "thank you", but she's a bit too tired to process that right now. Maybe in a minute. ] Alright.

I hope you're "shooting shit" in a controlled environment.

i dont mean literally shooting shit i mean like watching bad tv and melting into a couch while eating garbage comfort food

Well, thank fuck. [ She does not trust this guy in a gun range, soldier or no. ]

That's better than my first thought, but seriously, I'm fine. [ No she's not. ] If I actually want do to something like that, you'll know. [ No he won't. ]

[rude!! but fair.]

okay i won't press stay safe okay???

[ Huh.

She's...not used to conversations ending like this. Is Riptide her friend?

Oh god, he's her friend. ]

I'm sure I will. You too. I'm sure we're going to have to put up with some other bullshit soon enough.
