[N O

Anger flaring hot again... But this time, no murder attempt. Just his fake, fake smile.]

Oh, lucky me.

[bestfeature]

Do you know how many meals we're trying to make? Jesus. What do you need?

[vecna]

[What? He shouldn't even care. He just needs to make his request and then leave-]

Meals? What meals?

[ugh]

[bestfeature]

Echidna cooks half that shit in the diner for you. What, you think it appears out of thin air?

[vecna]

[YES?? WHAT?




Inhales, exhales slowly. He wonders, just for a second, if there is a large object he can hurl telekinetically, directly at Steve's head-]

Well, don't let me interrupt you. I just looking to earn a few Echidna tokens, that's all. Maybe you can send someone else on your team to help me.

[bestfeature]

[ is this a bad idea??





it's absolutely a bad idea. but. ]

Nah, I can give you a quest or something if that's what you're looking for.

[vecna]

[This is absolutely the last thing he wanted. To be at the mercy of whatever this idiot boy might conjure up for him.

His pride makes him dig his heels in, though.]

...All right. What do you have for me, then?

[bestfeature]

Do a favor for someone. It's gotta be something they need, not something you think they need.

And if you want a second token, do that for two people.

[vecna]

[Oh, is Steve trying to make him be... nice. Henry actually scoffs.]

Do you honestly think I can't manage that?

[Do you know how many years he had to spend playing nice and helpful in the lab?]

[bestfeature]

[ yes, but has henry tried doing it in crazy dream jail . . . comedy. ]

No? I mean, these tasks are supposed to be doable.

[ He shakes his token pouch at that. empty for now! ]

[vecna]

[No, but let him feel confident about this, okay. His look might as well bore a hole into both Steve and the token pouch, despite the borderline serene expression he's wearing.]

Of course. I'll do it, then.

[bestfeature]

Cool. Let me know when it's done and we'll see if the pouch approves.

[vecna]

The pouch just knows? I don't actually have to tell you what I've done?

[bestfeature]

Yeah. The tokens won't appear unless you've actually completed the request.

[vecna]

[Hm. Interesting.]

I was only curious. I don’t plan on cheating.

[That seems to be that, then. Except—]

While I have you here. I had a question for you, one that I couldn’t ask because you ran off so suddenly last time.

[because he tried to murder him but that’s fine]

[bestfeature]

Tough shit. I've got meals to get back to.

[ ALREADY TRYING TO LEAVE, sorry henry. ]

[vecna]

[steve you asshole]

Aren't you supposed to help other inmates? You won't even humor me for one question?

[bestfeature]

Nope. One versus the many. Bye.

[ SEEYA. ]

[vecna]

[FINE HE’LL JUST BOTHER YOU AGAIN WHEN HE COMES BACK
