[ Diabetes. Shit. That's what Freddie's so worried about, and she knows the two of them talk—might even be friends. Maybe she'll nudge him to reach out to Toki next time he's spiraling. ]

Don't know if eating's gonna make me feel better, but... [ Gratitude threads through the Murmur, small but real. She means it, and the next part makes her grin. ] And you better. I'll be seriously pissed if you go kick her ass without me.

[dethangel]

It's gonna be real hard not to but I think we all have to take turns.

[It's nice to be able to laugh about it a little, at least, and he's glad to feel the bits of gratitude. He's happy to help when he can.]

The problem's gonna be fitting everybody in! 'Cause we're all gonna be going at her, like, fuck you!!

[merged]

We can do it like a round robin. Everyone gets a good hit in. I mean, she's a god, I think she'll take a good beating.

[dethangel]

Yeah, that works. Or we could... we could time people! In case you do really fast hits. Or little ones.

[merged]

How do we decide how long?

[dethangel]

Probably something short to make sure everybody gets a turn, but you have to make it long enough for people to do stuff. So maybe you test it first.

[merged]

I can't imagine Sleep would just... chill while we figure out the timing.

[dethangel]

That's why you gotta... practice on something else first. So we know what we're gonna do for the real thing. You know?

[merged]

We could make up a stuffed version of her, paste on six eyes, and see how long it takes for us to kick all the stuffing out of it.

And then we can set it on fire. [ ...she might just want a reason to burn an effigy of Sleep tbh ]

[dethangel]

Oh! I could help with that! I got a lot of stuffed animals that are kinda ripped apart and stuff, we could put some of those together.

[He's using some of it for his teddy bear throne, but a toy store has a lot of stuffed animals.]

[merged]

That's a good idea, Toki. Hell yeah. Wonder what else we'd need to build an effigy—think we could find some antlers somewhere?

[dethangel]

Maybe in the park? Or... we could make some with sticks. I have some glue.

[merged]

Oh, good idea! We'll have to find some black fabric, too.

[dethangel]

Oh, that should be pretty easy to find. Like... at a craft store... or just get a bunch of shirts or something.

Or just get whatever and dump a bunch of paint on it.

[merged]

Don't know if I want to burn a bunch of potentially toxic paint, but you're right: we can probably find some shit to use in a craft store—oh! Or maybe the garment district!

[dethangel]

What's the garment district? Like a big mall or something?

[merged]

No, it's more like the area of the city where you can get all the shit a fashion designer needs to... design fashion or whatever. Lots of fabric.

[dethangel]

Oh, huh, they made a whole place for that? That's cool. Maybe they'd have more stuff we could use for this thing too.

[merged]

Maybe we'll find some googly eyes for her! [ Goofy Sleep effigy! ]

[dethangel]

Oh fuck. We need googly eyes! For her, and... for everything else!

[merged]

There is so much here that would benefit from a pair of googly eyes. I know what we have to do when I'm feeling better.

[dethangel]

We're gonna make everything googly.

[Anything that could use a pair of eyes is going to get one, he's sure. Nothing will be safe.]

Maybe... it'll make other people feel better too.

[merged]

I think most people here would at least crack a smile if they spotted a dumpster with giant googly eyes.

[dethangel]

[He's about to simply agree when an idea comes to him to go with it and he gasps.]

Oh, and we could make teeth for it, so it looks like it has a mouth!

[merged]

All right, I'm into it! I'm thinking jack-o'-lantern-style mouths, but I'm open to your creative thoughts. [ Might not want anything too scary lest they give a vessel a heart attack in the darkness. ]
