Experimenting on kids...? That's pretty low.

... Is that the company you still work for?

[verminous]

No. G Corp folded, after the war. Left all its remnants cast aside.

[sexyasmieu]

Did you end up going to war, too...?

[verminous]

Yeah. Used to be a soldier of theirs. War only ended about... ten years ago.

[sexyasmieu]

That sucks... I mean, they did all that to you, and you had to fight their battles for them?

[verminous]

Didn't have any other choice. And then when they were done with us... that was it.

[sexyasmieu]

So they just... what, abandoned you? And the others?

[verminous]

Exactly that, yeah.

Once you've worked for a fallen Corp, nobody takes you in after that.

[sexyasmieu]

Seriously? That's brutal...

[verminous]

That's how the City is. Always has been.

[sexyasmieu]

But you're with a company now, right? So is that one different?

[verminous]

...well, at the root of it, Limbus Company's probably the same as any other in the City, but. I owe 'em for taking me on.

[sexyasmieu]

So it's not exactly a happy ending, but it's not the worst way things could go...

[verminous]

-yeah. Yeah, it's something like that. And Dante's been better to work with, anyway.

[sexyasmieu]

[ nods... ]

Um, Gregor...

I brought something I wanted to give you... You don't mind, right?

[verminous]

You-- did?

[he blinks, obviously surprised, but.]

...I'd never mind you, Anise.

[sexyasmieu]

[ aw...

okay, she'll call over a senior crew member to pass him something in the brig. mods said they will allow this!

... it's something small, black, and shiny. and since he's probably wondering... ]

... It's candy.

[verminous]

[blinking down at it...]

Is it-? Haven't seen this kind before.

[sexyasmieu]

It's one of those limited ones, from Scrap.

[verminous]

Oh. Did you want me to-?

[but, like, why. he's just having emotional regulation problems or something.]

[sexyasmieu]

[ nods! ]

They're only good until the end of this week, right? So I wanted you to have it.

[verminous]

I mean, I don't think it'd do me any good, but I-- still appreciate it, Anise.

[you're gonna have to tell him to do it i'm sorry sweet anise]

[sexyasmieu]

[ watches him not eating this thing. ]

... Um, it's actually for eating...

[verminous]

I- well. Okay.

[he doesn't have it in him to tell her no, like, ever.

so yes he will eat it.]

[sexyasmieu]

... You don't hate spicy things or anything, right?

[ don't ask this now. ]
