I will make this pretty later

(Spoilers I won't, I always say I will but I won't-)

===

INVENTORY:

-Grenade Launcher with 3 ammo stacks (refreshes monthly)

-Nondescript gaming console (it's an offbrand Nintendo Switch)

-Some glowing star rocks from an investigation with Elsword in the Deep Woods

-A little knitted dragon from Elsword that I forgot to link and am too lazy to find now

-1 Kotatsu that he keeps in his room at the lab. It's red with light beige birds on it

-His toolbox from Rhodes

-A workshop that connects to Gnosis' lab via a breezeway. He lives there with Passenger now

-3 erythrites, used to make Passenger a pair of earrings

Mmh... I don't think so? I'm not sure. They still got hopes and feelings, which is what I think people are, but they don't seem to think they're people anymore? So I don't really know for sure.

[ Mizuki shrugs a little. ] They used to just go by "Trader" and "Shopkeeper" but it felt weird to keep calling them that when they were so nice all the time, so I decided to give them names. The evil thing in the forest took their old ones...

[ Mizuki knows that, too, but, uh, he's bad at giving out information like this, especially verbally. When you're close with Kal'tsit and everything is very "no one else can know about this" with her, it's hard for him to accurately give out important details. ]

Mmh... about that. So, I think... how to say this...

You know how in Raid of Restitution [ A totally (not) real game that has absolutely 0 likeness to League of Legends, why would you think that- ] how the playable characters have different skins, and the skin lines have their own lore? Like how Aya in base is a cop, but she has a skin where she's a magical girl with other magical girls??

Apparently this world is kind of like that, but... for us. "We" used to exist here. But "we" all died somehow. I don't know why we're back but I assume it's got something to do with that entity wanting to play with our new skins. Does that make sense?

Not necessarily a revive. The us that was here before are still very dead. It’s why you hear about people from other worlds here who are confused, too.

…Miss Ydalir doesn’t know how to get us back home, yet, but if we’re able to take this entity down and stop it from doing the things it’s doing, we might be able to collaborate with her to figure out how.

[ Bold of him to assume Mizuki jumped immediately to murder when he said "stop it". Mizuki has never once made the decision himself to kill something in his life. Anytime he has killed someone, it was always under someone's orders. ]

Of course!! I am the same way. The best person to talk to about that would definitely be Doctor Add, though. I'm not sure if he has any concrete plans or anything like that at the moment since we don't know a lot about the Entity itself, but… he is incredibly smart and tactically inclined.

Oh!! Yes! I guess you and Elsword must’ve talked quite a bit about it, huh? And don’t worry about it — just listen to when Miss Ydalir tells you things next time, alright?

Add and Elsword are really too nice for letting me stay with them, but if you decide you don’t want to live at the inn or something, you’re welcome to my room or the therapy building’s lobby. I’m there most of the time anyway ‘cause that’s where all my games are. Also because I have to be there in case anyone wants a talk session done.

[ Sigh. Sesa, you're so weird- ]

Um, no? I mean, it belongs to everyone. Heimr just helped me make it on my request.

[ Ah. Mizuki doesn't try to pull away, not unless Sesa's gonna try to take the bandages off, anyway, and simply puts his other hand under Sesa's to give it a little squeeze. ]

I'm alright. Mistakes had happened, but they're healing up. But... that said, just be careful if you're ever out in the forest. I don't normally get caught off guard, and yet...

...

Just be safe yourself, Sesa.

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2023-12-06 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I appreciate the thought, Sesa, but I can take care of myself just fine. I just...

[ He supposes it's not fair to be vague, right? He has to let Sesa know the things that the forest is capable of, otherwise he'll just be surprised if it ever happens to him. ]

There's a moose-centaur-thing in the woods that can control the plants, seemingly. It tried to wall us - Irene and Add were with me - wall us off from one another, and I just panicked a little to try and get back to Add. It ended up nicking me...

[ "Nicking me," he says, as if it didn't puncture an entire ass hole into his palm. He trails his hand up to point at the other set of bandages on his forearm. ]

This one was because it gave us marks that made us feel each other's pain. Mister Elsword he- um... he can't feel emotions very well. The good or the bad. So having to subject him to just the bad feelings suddenly, and they weren't even his own... I wanted to see if I could fix that, so I tried taking one of the marks off.

It didn't work.

No, they disappeared a little while ago. I think the thing in the forest gets bored of redundancy…? It seems to inflict something new on us every handful of weeks? I'm not sure if that pattern means anything, or if that's just how short its attention span is…

[ Sesa's getting a head plopped against his shoulder. He'll pat his tail with one of his tentacles, too. ]

We'll be okay. We'll figure out how to get home, no problem.

Of course! I would hate to know that you were going through this all on your own. There's a sort of sanctuary being with friends, right? Kinda... umm, why the phrase "misery loves company" exists, right?

That's true… I can't really imagine what that'd be like. [ If Mizuki had shown up first, he would've been with We Many regardless. Mizuki's never really on his own — the thought of being alone scares him. ] I imagine it probably feels… suffocating to be somewhere horrible with no one you know, and…

[ Pause. Mizuki looks startled for a moment, a mix of shock and realization… ]

[ …and then his eyes almost look like they turned to glass as tears gather along the lids, staring at a nearby wall. ]

…That's probably how Mister Gnosis felt…

[ Oh no… ]
