the punchline to the joke is asking "someone save us"

[traumatizing]

STILL HERE, HUH?

Looks like you're still on Tera. By choice, or maybe you missed your chance to get home. Doesn't matter really, you're here now and you gotta deal with the fallout one way or another. Here's hoping that works out for you.

Oh I'll believe that when I see it. I've been yanked from home and had a whammy put on me so hard I forgot I was a fucking god. [She takes another drink.] After that, my motto is 'Anything Is Possible'.

[traumatizing]

He's got a good life waiting for him. No death sentences on the horizon.

[He sighs over the lip of the bottle and takes a deep drink.]

Unless someone's planning to kidnap him again he's staying put.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Could be fun. [Luci shrugs.] He never struck me as a damsel-y type, but I can see it. Against all odds, you run through a hailstorm of laser beams to reach him-- I of course get hit and give you a very inspiring speech with my last conscious breath-- and it gives you that last bit of hope to get you to your dearest.

[traumatizing]

[He doesn't even know what to say to that, so he just rolls]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

'Terry, thank goodness you've come for me!' [Luci is just barely dropping her voice to mimic Maxxie as she crawls over Terry, whiskey still in hand.]

'Of course I did, I'm the badass Mister Fix-It now, and when I heard about this bus full of orphans I knew someone was up to something evil nearby. I just never expected...'

'Neither did I! Funny how this works out for us just because we're decent humans. Speaking of decent, where's Luci?'

'Luci...'

And then you look sad, and he looks sad, but you both know I wouldn't want you dwelling. How am I doing so far?

[traumatizing]

Oh my god.

[He shakes his head and sighs, totally put-upon even if he's also very accommodating of Luci crawling over him.]

You missed the part where I bring you back to life to lecture you for three hours about taking irresponsible risks.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Three hours? Is that really necessary? I was just dead.

[traumatizing]

That's what you get for getting shot by lazers.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

In the name of love.

[traumatizing]

I've got enough dead friends, so you get lectured.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

...I'll listen for one hour, and then I'm zoning out.

[traumatizing]

As long as you stay put, I can't stop you.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Are you going to take my phone?

[traumatizing]

Maybe.

[He tilts his head thoughtfully.]

There's an entertaining video tax for every ten minutes you look at your phone.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

...so, how many times have you seen the flying lawnmower?

[traumatizing]

You mean the way Yuffie signed off every conversation for two weeks?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Goddammit. She's screwed me one last time.

[traumatizing]

That's her specialty.

[Ugh he misses her so much. Guess that means another drink.]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

No kidding. [Luci misses her too. And Xanxus. And Squalo. She drinks with him, and buries her cheek into Terry's neck once she's done. Even the devil gets melancholy sometimes.]

C'mon, where's my food?

[traumatizing]

[Terry puts an arm around her and turns his head a little to nuzzle at her hair. At the question he pulls out his phone to unlock it and pull up the menu.]

Pick what you want and I'll order it.
