    Summary

    "GREAT! Just great! As if this could GET any better!" Zanka bites out, seething. Of course he's stuck here, injured, in a damp, dirty cell, and of course he's stuck here with fucking Jabber of all people.

    Jabber whistles appreciatively, "Man, you're in a mood today. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" and cackles at his own joke. Zanka's gonna strangle him. He's gonna rip out those bars with his bare hands and use them to beat Jabber to death.

    or

    Zanka is taken by some people who want to study givers. Jabber is there too. This somehow makes everything both better and so much worse.

    Summary

    While most people believe objects are incapable of thought or feeling, Rudo lives surrounded by something entirely different, because he can hear them all. Many objects have voices, and many have sounds, as every object carries a presence that remains, something that remembers what it once was and continues to exist, quietly seeking recognition.

    Or, Rudo can listen and talk to objects.

    Summary

    Rudo never quite mastered a smile, no matter the amount of times Regto had tried to teach him. Even now, it comes out as a soft grimace– but it’s the closest thing to one Regto thinks he’ll ever see. “You– old man,” he huffed. Somehow, his eyes are the brightest they’ve ever been. “So… sentimental… for such– a shitty world, you’re really… something else…” the hand gripping Regto’s goes slack. For the first time since Regto’s taken him in more than a decade ago, there’s no tremors wracking charred, black skin, nor involuntary twitches and spasms.
    He wondered if the pain had finally, fully, gone away.

    ---

    or,
    Regto’s not the one that gets stabbed through with a sword.
