"Yeah, I mean, I think so? Maybe the entities just don't like the retro aesthetic?"

It's not really that funny though, is it? Not when he'd heard Jon obsessively listen to those tapes from before things went bad over and over again.

"Jon killed it, you know? The thing that took her."

"Yeah. I've been told." Although it was still so strange to him. Something he can't picture that had taken over his memories of his friend. These are things that he's told, but he feels so disconnected from it at the same time. "I hope it suffered."

"It did," Martin says, with some venom in his voice. "I know it did. It screamed."

[alwayskayaking]

"Good." His voice is dark. Full of anger. "Sasha was the best of us. It deserved to suffer." Now he sounds a bit more like the Tim who was ready to go head to head with the Unknowning and willing to give up anything to stop it.

"Yeah. Yeah it did," Martin agrees. That had been personal in a way the others hadn't been. Well, Jude Perry had been personal for Jon, and that made it personal to Martin, but the Not-Them had broken so much between them all. "Lots of people... creatures, deserve that."

"I wish I could have seen it. Wish I could have heard it's dying screams."

"It was horrible. I mean, everything was in the apocalypse. But also very satisfying."

He should feel more guilty than he does probably. But that death... that death had been deserved.

"If it had to be an apocalypse at least you got to kill some monsters still."

[domainless]

"Plenty of them realising that they don't like the apocalypse too. Or at least, not the Eye being in charge of it."

But he's still not sure any of the rest of them could have actually caused the apocalypse.

"What a shock. Something entitled not being happy getting what they want. Good to know even cosmic horrors can be huge bitches as well."

[domainless]

"Pretty sure cosmic horrors are more likely to be huge bitches. All those millennia of practice and time to think about it."

[alwayskayaking]

"Not to mention all the time in the world to piss each other off and get under their skins."

[domainless]

"I mean, yeah. Especially the Web from what I've gathered." Annabelle Caine being prime example of that.

[alwayskayaking]

"Go figure, powers that revolve around fear and pain are still assholes even after getting what they want."

[domainless]

"Yeah. Still seems like there's a lot of... animosity. Resentment. But they can't do much about it." The Not-Sasha had definitely thought it could hurt Jon, wanted to do it, and had got a nasty surprise.

[alwayskayaking]

"Good. That's the only good thing I've heard happening back home."
