@dowwhitlock "Well, ya thought /wrong/." The other really didn't, but Jack is much too proud to admit that. "Ya don't need ta worry about me, can handle myself."

@RadiatedEngine He shuffles in his spot a bit. "Sorry, sorry." He mutters, "Just- cautious." He glances between him and the table. The way he's leaning. "I thought you were gonna fall, is all." He's still not convinced that he won't.

Eating a burger, trying real hard not to think about what it might be made of...

@SimonOf_Eden Not by much.

@RadiatedEngine I grab you lighters when you ask. Does that make me the better Simon?

"I wouldn't /have/ to if /someone/ had grabbed me a lighter ta begin with!"

@blooddivereve "I imagine. Consider myself pretty lucky there ain't ever gonna be a reason fer me ta be in there. .... Glad ya ain't dead or nothin'."

@RadiatedEngine “It’s way worse being in it…but it’s good to know what’s down there.” She scratches at her arms, nervous. “Still mad the others sent me in. But at least I made it out…”

“Is there a frog as well as the eel?”

@dowwhitlock A small face. He didn't /need/ any assistance, nor did he /want/ any. "I'm /fine/." He's just going to lean against the table for a while. /Definitely/ because he /wants/ to.

@RadiatedEngine Dow rushes to try and support him, brows furrowed with worry. "Pretty sure radiation doesn't care how you're built." He mutters. He stops just short of touching him, noting how he catches himself. He still stays at the ready just in case.

Yeah well, I ain't normal. Throwing is funner.

@blooddivereve "Who /wouldn't/? Place is a fuckin' hell hole, and I got to work /right/ over the damn thing. Least I /know/ what's down there, I guess."

@RadiatedEngine “Well…that’s going to make my fear of things in the ocean worse.” That fear, mixed with the fear of deep water, formed after she made it out of the AT-5 blood ocean, after searching for the SM-8. She shudders, arms crossing her chest like it could protect her. “I hate that.”

@blooddivereve There's a long pause, picking at his fingers as he thinks. .... "Yeah, there is. Could be even more fer all we know."

@RadiatedEngine “And I’m effectively an engineer. But I’m a special case” She shrugs. “If you tell me, I won’t tell anyone else. They don’t have to know we know”

@blooddivereve "Yeah, but /I/ ain't suppose ta know about it. Rather not get in trouble fer it. I'm just the welder, ain't suppose ta know that shit."

@RadiatedEngine “I went on the original rescue sub for the SM-8, remember? Plus I’ve been helping with the subs too, since you got me from Eden, nearly.”

// Writer of Jack from Iron Lung here. Reached my daily tweet limit. Got too silly and goofy 😔

@compoundtruth "WHAT THE FUCK-"

@RadiatedEngine “Aparently this Bum Drummer dude grinds people up.”

"The guy with the bloody bandages on his face are saying we should eat it. Which means we /definitely shouldn't/."

[Second it's in his hand, he's pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.] Ain't got any work at the moment, so nothin' that comes ta mind.

"Eve."

Haven't exactly been starin at ya. Ain't a freak.

[Grabby hand] Gib.

@Lucky_Ch4rm__ "Yeah, ya did."

@RadiatedEngine “…I warranted that being said somehow..didn’t I..?”

Squint. "Nnnnoooo-"

HOW?!

"I was jokin' about the frog turnin' us all gay. Apparently, it was /not/ a joke."
