please tell me you didn't use it as bail money to get yourself out of jail again

no.

look its stupid okay? im kind of pissed still

isaac cmon

i'm literally the king of stupid. i won't judge you

tell me the truth

...youre not the king of stupid

i tried to make a deal with hel. my patron goddess ruler of the underworld and death and all that. anyway i tried to barter with her

to save erica.

so i blew all the money ive been saving on offerings for her shrine and she still said no

if i wasn't the king of stupid i wouldn't have got your door knocked down

isaac...

i'm sorry it didn't work.

whatever you need, money or anything else, i'll give you what i can.

i dont need charity okay?

im just really mad and i dont want erica to get upset at me for not getting food

[It's more than just being angry, and maybe that's why he's using text, rather than voice or video. Isaac is incredibly frustrated, desperate to the point of hitting something or crying about it like an idiot again, and physically speaking would only make it worse.]

okay

i know you're mad. i'm mad too

just don't get too mad or i'll come see you and calm you down

...yeah.

its just so stupid that she said she couldnt do anything. i wanted to hit her

i didnt though

[Are you proud of him, Scott?]

[ Good job, Isaac, though Scott is more relieved than he is proud. ]

i'm really glad you didn't. i don't even what to think about what she could have done to you if you had. she's a freaking goddess of death.

well she wouldn't have killed me

[Man, even the text is dripping in ire.]

she only cares about death when its on her doorstep

you tried. i'm sure erica would appreciate it if she knew.

you're a good friend, isaac.

im not

if i was id figure out a way to save her

that's not true. you lost a friend but that doesn't make you any less of one.

i wish there was something we could do to stop it from happening but there isn't.

the only thing you can do now is treasure your time with her here and not waste it being mad all the time.

well see.

hel said shed keep her here for as long as she can

so thats something i guess

isn't that what the gods do for all of us? keep us here as long as possible?

how the hell should i know? maybe she's trying extra hard

maybe...

i think even gods are capable of letting people down

trust me theyre more than capable. its the only thing theyre good at

ill just have to figure something else out.

another way to save her?

isaac... i know this isn't what you want to hear right now but... you can't. you know that, right?

scott were in a magical city powered by norse gods telling us to fight in a war for the universe

im pretty sure theres a way to save one girl okay?

okay

[ Scott leaves it at that. He doesn't want to get into a fight about Isaac wasting his time. He doesn't want to be the one to crush Isaac's hope. ]

I'll give you the money later.

...thanks

just take it out of my next paycheck
