[At some point, Quentin has settled onto a stool in a kitchen and set his device somewhere it can see him.] I mean...not really. I knew that... [Pause, considering how to put this.] I knew that there were a lot of ways for the plan to fail, and I knew that if it came down to sacrificing myself to make sure the plan worked, I'd do it. I'm not super surprised that I found a way to do that.
["Did I do something brave to save my friends or did I finally find a way to kill myself?"]
Anyway, yeah, I mean if this is an afterlife I can think of worse ones. [Small laugh.] Not legally responsible for my own actions and get to fuck whoever will have me? Sign me the fuck up.
I literally have no idea what. There is not, I don't, I don't know how to explain how much I do not know what people like about...that.
[Came perilously close to that last word being "me," but people don't tend to enjoy that when he says it, he's at least learned that much. Also, to be fair, it's less true than it once was, he understands at least one or two of his attractive traits.]
[A soft laugh, maybe a little nervous, but more in an excited way than a scared way. After all, they did kind of do a whole sexting thing there and he enjoyed it, so he might enjoy...well, actually making it real, right?]
We can do strip poker sometime. I don't know about my shirt, but at least a shoe.
Um, whenever I'm not working, mostly. I'm off the day after tomorrow?
[That seems like an appropriate, not-thirsty-but-not-too-hard-to-get amount of time to wait! He's going to get an A in Setting Up Hookups, a thing that is both reasonable to want,]

I came here dying. My friend remembers burying me.
I didn't see the afterlife being a place I'd be encouraged to hook up with as many men as possible but it could be worse.

Re: cw: suicide mention
Do you feel different here? Like you should sacrifice yourself?
no subject
Um. I mean. There's not really anything to sacrifice myself to, here.
[Notably not an answer!]
no subject
Probably a good thing.
So... Is Elliot the only one you play with like that?

I mean. Yeah, we can, um. We can do that.
Um...I should point out that this level of awkwardness is like, one hundred percent, um, normal, not like. A sign that I'm hesitant or something.

Sort of charming though, now that I know.

I'd still like to play with you. I think if we do strip poker I can still at least walk away with your shirt.
