Come closer and see... see into the trees...

[ Sawyer spent most of the time since her arrival playing video games in the basement because ~~her mun is lazy and forgetful~~ she couldn't rightly make up her mind about Wonderland and anything or anyone in it.

By now she knows at least one thing: None of it is going away.

So she has finally decided to pull herself together, embrace the bright side of life, see the glass as half full and open the door to her roo--

...Except there is no door, her room is gone and they are on a fucking camping trip and REALLY how is she supposed to react to that if not by lying listlessly on her stomach on a sleeping bag somewhere near the girls' tents? (And since pets have to stay inside Sawyer doesn't even have her chainsaw with her to pass the time. Damn you, outdoors!)

But hey, strike up a conversation if you like. Or just... trip over her, it's not like the colour of those sweats is all that much different from the forest floor. Blergh. ]

Lots of... free stuff,

[ she concedes in the spirit of deep, philosophical thought. ]

[Minato had to admit that some stuff was free, and a lot of it was, actually. He wondered what else she had meant though or if there was anything else behind her words.]

You tried the closets already?

[Trying for one direction. Let's see where it goes.]

[ She nods. ]

And the... kitchen. And the... dining hall. I didn't... try dying... yet.

[ Because, come to think of it, it doesn't get much better in terms of free stuff than extra lives. Then again, her last escape from death really wasn't all that... ]

[Minato tilted his head just slightly as he thought about the last part of what she said.]

You don't have to. [It's been done?] But did you want to?

Everyone... has to.

[ Sooner or later. ]

Is it... fun?

[ He might know more about the revival experience than she does. Who knows, maybe she's missing out. ]

[Eventually at home, perhaps. Here was a little different. Sort of.

"Fun" wasn't what Minato would call it. But she did ask, so he did want to answer.]

There's nothing special about it.

[Except for coming back.]

...

[ ... ]

How... did it feel?

I would think it depends on how it happened.

[But not going into too much detail about that. That would be semi-going over his word quota? But Minato could explain a little bit.]

But it was fine. [Also semi-been there, done that.] Then I woke up again.

[ Sawyer knows about the many unfortunate things that can happen to people who ask too many questions back in Roanapur. ]

How did it happen... to you?

[ But this, as she's starting to internalise more and more, is not Roanapur. ]

[How? Hm. This might not be the best impression to start out with, but it was the truth. Minato nodded, thinking it would be okay to tell her.]

Codeine overdose.

[That was the first time. It was voluntary since he couldn't help but be curious about how death worked here either. And it had counted. The second time during another event was a little trickier since it hadn't had seemed to count.]

[ She grins knowingly. ]

Good... trip? Hnnn~

[Trip? Not exactly, not when it was an intentional suicide. But she could believe what she liked.]

What about you? [He indicated toward the wound on her neck.]
