Alright, if I win, then— [uhhh hmmm uhhhhh] Junior can come to the house sometimes.
[They can leave him upstairs? In the new house, which presumably they've mumbled about if not actually gone out and claimed as their own just yet. Every house needs one good skeleton boy to hang around upstairs and tidy up, obviously. That's all he can think of.
He hums, thinking of Cam, nudging Viktor in the side ever so gently with his elbow. She would put his eating habits so on blast, more than Viktor's own notes-- would it be worth it. Maybe for them. He, personally, would crawl into a hole and hibernate for the summer.]
She's not dead, [he says, idly but too quickly to mask his other concern, that "sleeping" squids and "dead" squids are fundamentally the same, whether or not she had to die to go back into the sea. Her absence, he's living with; his own deaths, he's processed; Camilla's death is unacceptable, especially if this place not only took her away while he slept but also killed her about it. Good god.
So, hm, no, no good possibilities. Squid theory at least keeps him talking.]
I spoke to Nico about that. There's a possibility it's emotional preparedness to return, and not physical damage, that plays a larger part in the 'time of death'. [haha] My squid-brain must have been exhausting itself daily to try and activate my contingency plan, or I'd have washed up sooner.
[so, normal things.]
Assuming that it's our own will that creates the bodies we have here, outside of the ocean, of course. But that only applies to those who've died; I've encountered far less concrete data on what happens when one just... goes.
