No.
It never crossed my mind to ask.

[ it just seems like a normal thing for death to do, you know? ]

[viver]

It's just something he does, to be honest. But I did promise I'd give him my ribcage if he gathered enough of them.

[1966]

And how many is enough?

[viver]

I haven't decided. But you're helping him get closer.

[ god of fuck it we ball ]

[1966]

[ y'all really do just fuck around, huh ]

How many does he have?

[viver]

It's in the 30s, I think.

[1966]

All unique?
I know he has at least one humerus.

[ because sully brought it directly to adam's room and let him hold it. ]

[viver]

I let him have my hand and arm, when the maze took them from me. Our friend has given him part of his spine. I believe he got a femur from a girl.

[1966]

So you count them for what they make up, not as they are individually?

[ an entire hand counts as one, not as 27 individual bones. the math could still technically be mathing, but adam thinks this is unlikely. ]

[viver]

Individually, of course.

[1966]

I see.

[ interesting. ]

The ring you gave me some time ago.
From what bone was it made?

[viver]

A rib, actually.

[ if it wasn't i'm retconning it because it's funnier ok ]

Do you have it?

[1966]

[ dw gorl it was never specified ]

I do. Why wouldn’t I?

[ it was a gift from one of the only people here he likes, tf. ]

[viver]

[ perfect we ball ]

One never knows. I'm still glad you do.

[1966]

[ insert: a picture of his left hand, with the ring on his thumb. ]

[viver]

I knew it would suit you.

Tell me about the little friends that live in your room.

[1966]

The moths?

[viver]

The moths.

[1966]

There isn't much to say.
They come and go as they please.

[ and yet, adam always seems to have at least 2 moths with him wherever he goes, hovering a safe distance above and away. ]

[viver]

They don't tell you their stories, Adam?

[1966]

We don't speak.

[ not true. adam addresses them sometimes, and they appear to understand him for the most part, but the communication is one way, or has been so far. ]

[viver]

Sometimes you just have to listen.

I enjoy it. Finding out what my creations have done with their lives. You're more of an observer.

[1966]

Is that what they tell you?

[viver]

No, that one's from me. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong, though.

[1966]

Does this not make you an observer as well?
