[Chris sort of knows what Maketh is talking about, actually; Emily told him she gave Maketh advice on a relationship matter, but nothing more. Chris had promised not to say anything about it though, so--]
I think she'd appreciate it, yeah. Both the advice and the coffee.
[Because while he and Emily talk there's still a lot of feelings it's easier to discuss with someone who hasn't known them for years.]
Yeah, she's um... Really nice and kind of innocent and optimistic? So I thought this might be really hard for her, but she's doing okay.
She um... She doesn't know. Any of it--that she died, or became a wendigo, or what happened with Josh. And um... We're not telling her anything more than we have to.
[He knows this isn't going to work for long, but they owe Josh the respect of going with what he decided on this.]
[He doesn't mind her input, and sighs quietly because honestly he agrees with her.]
I know. If it were um, my decision--
[And then he stops, because he realizes he can't honestly say he would tell her. It had been his decision about what to tell Josh, and he's been keeping that lie going for over half a year now.
He's quiet several seconds, then kind of changes his statement.]
[Maketh almost smiles at that. This moment - this peace - won't last. But the thought that it might, even for a little while, isn't without it's temptations.] We don't know what happens next. This might not be the end for her.
[Or, indeed, for Maketh. She's died before. Woke up here.]
I don't know how it couldn't be with the rest of us um... Remembering everything. I think she might actually be from before anything happened, since she...
[This whole situation is messed up.]
When she fell and went missing she broke her leg, but here she's fine. She remembers falling but not hitting the ground, so...
[So he's pretty certain she's from a time point before she died, instead of coming here after.]
Oh. [Maketh blinks. She hadn't thought of that. It should have been obvious, though. So many of them have come from the same place, but different times -- why should it be necessary that a person who is dead in one timeline be rendered so in their own?] I don't think we've seen that before. Not---to that extent, at least.
I'm gonna uh, ask around on the network and see who else got blessings and whatever, so I'll talk to you later.
[It's an unsaid invitation for her to feel free to take a look at the conversations if she's also interested in who got what. He gives another small smile and a wave before disconnecting.]

Have...have you been doing all right? You and the others?

Date: 2016-08-13 03:08 am (UTC)We're, you know. Hanging in there as usual.
[He's quiet a moment.]
It's kind of um... Complicated with Hannah here, but it's... It's really good to see her. And I think it's really good for Josh.

Date: 2016-08-13 03:21 am (UTC)[And Chris can't blame her; it's even more complicated for Emily due to her role in the prank. Of course she'd need more time to get used to things.]
Hannah's taking things um, better than expected, though.

Date: 2016-08-13 03:23 am (UTC)[Maketh is not very good at advice.]
There's no good way to take it, I suppose. But--that's good to hear.

Date: 2016-08-13 08:39 pm (UTC)That's good to hear. It can't be easy, coming into a place like this. Especially not after--well.

Date: 2016-08-14 02:07 am (UTC)[Maketh hesitates. It's not her place to tell them how to handle this, but--]
This place has a way of bring these things to the surface. It might...might be better if she heard it from you, instead of one of the gods.

Date: 2016-08-14 02:29 am (UTC)I know. If it were um, my decision--

Just... She deserves to enjoy the time she has.

Date: 2016-08-16 10:22 pm (UTC)[Of course they'd be special and first on this, just like they were the first group to have monsters from their world show up and torment everyone.]
It'd be like, super cool if we could be first at something that isn't complicated or generally terrible next time.
[But that said--]
But, I mean, I guess it's possible.
[Who knows with this place.]

Date: 2016-08-19 12:11 am (UTC)Thanks. Me too.
