[here they are in the void... when she sees him, she pauses. it's that kind of awkward mood where you see someone and you don't know exactly how angry they still are at you so you don't know how to approach this interaction. after a moment of just kind of standing here and debating silently like a well adjusted person:]
rang doesn't look upset at seeing her or being greeted, he has his usual expression on -- the one where he's like hehehe for probably annoying reasons.]
I haven't seen you around since that embarrassing trial last week.
[whatever she was about to say is interrupted by a feral pig noise running their way and possibly just barreling into both of them. first the hoise now this...... as the bubble engulfs them both:]
[libby... u right even if rang went a little insane after it's fine,]
Unfortunately.
[he looks a little relieved that this memory wasn't anything embarrassing like being a baby fox child and eating poisonous azaleas, but still. having these memories pulled out in the first place.... it's annoying....]
he can still feel her fury and despair even as the last of it fades from his mind's eye, the dreamlike quality at the end catches him in a way that he doesn't like -- but then again, he didn't like a single thing about that memory. it's an animal's worst nightmare -- to be trapped -- and it's a fox's too -- to be trapped at the will of someone else.
so it's interesting, to know that this young human girl standing before him has experienced a terror of that kind,]
[she has to take a few moments after it's over to take a few breaths, reminding herself that the fear and helplessness and anger are in the past, at least as far as that room is concerned. there's something steely in her expression as she starts to calm down, voice similarly sharp.]
Ezra is... [her voice shifts from sharp to outright hateful.] I don't think I even know who he is. He's not who I thought he was, at the bare minimum.
[there's a moment where she's startled by the question, but - her instinct has always been to try and say the right thing, to seem like a good person, even now when she feels no inclination to be kind to the person they're discussing.]

[where they didnt find ANYONE]
Where have you been hiding?

What the fuck?!
no subject
Rang gets the pig squarely in the stomach before it flies off because he deserves it,]
Oh -- not this again.
[he says, as a memory plays. cw: implied animal abuse, go to 0:17 to skip, basically the baseball players are practicing on a puppy U_U]
no subject
but more than that, timey wimey nonsense means she hasn't experienced this yet, so she's pausing and blinking a few times.]
What was - that? Was that yours?
no subject
Unfortunately.
[he looks a little relieved that this memory wasn't anything embarrassing like being a baby fox child and eating poisonous azaleas, but still. having these memories pulled out in the first place.... it's annoying....]
Brace yourself, it'll be your turn next.
no subject
What happened to them...? Did you take them to the police? [lol lmao!! also:] Wait - why?
[pushing at the bubble ineffectually]
no subject
No way, as if the police would do anything. They were so proud of their pitching arms, so I just took those arms from them.
[you know, sane things? he leans against the bubble, smiling and doesn't answer because he's so annoying,]
no subject
pushes against the bubble more forcefully]
Don't sound proud of that! Jesus.
no subject
Think of it like this. They'll never hurt anyone ever again, whether another animal or a fellow human. So in a way, I did the world a favor.
no subject
[sighs!! and stops shoving at the bubble.]
no subject
But? What would you have done?
cw kidnapping
I don't know, I would have—
[but he was right and it's her turn next! nice.]

Who's Ezra?
no subject
Ezra is... [her voice shifts from sharp to outright hateful.] I don't think I even know who he is. He's not who I thought he was, at the bare minimum.
no subject
Do you want to kill him?
no subject
Kill—? No, of course not. I-I would never.
[liar!!]
no subject
...Was that where you were? Before you arrived here.
no subject
but she nods, expression tightening.]
I didn't make it out.
no subject
Then I don't see why you wouldn't want to kill him, since he's the reason you're here.
[he means died, like he's sure ezra isn't responsible for libby being in homophonic but still,]
no subject
[editor's note: she wants to kill him so bad]
no subject
Let's say you got that second chance in life. Maybe that would mean you escaped him, but that wouldn't stop him from coming after you again, would it?
I suppose you could tell the police... But what proof would you have against him?
no subject
What's your stake in this, exactly?
no subject
I'm just trying to get to you know you better. You know, since you're the reason why I got erased.
no subject
[glancing towards him and then glancing away.]
I didn't mean for that to happen. It wasn't supposed to get that out of control.
