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

[He is immediately sold. He would like to talk to them immediately thank you]
I'd love to negotiate for some of them, after I've gotten to know Mister Heimr of course. And with Miss Ydalir trading things from home...mm. I can think of a few questions I might have for her.
[As in: do you know how he woke up with a piece of one of Passenger's machines. Did SHE do that?]
But putting that aside...you say they used to be people. Are they not still people now?
no subject
[ 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...
no subject
[But that just leaves Sesa wondering what their true origins are. Interesting. This is something he might have to delve into more in the future.]
This thing in the forest seems to be causing much strife for everyone here, not just us.
no subject
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?
no subject
It does, as far as you're explaining it at least. And given the amount of power this entity seems to wield, it isn't beyond the stretch of the imagination to believe it could be capable of such.
[He brings a claw up underneath his chin, his brow furrowing.]
So we have...been revived, I assume by this creature, with no memory of the past. When I arrived here, I woke in the inn in one of the rooms. Was it the same for you?
no subject
…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.
no subject
[Having to kill this creature, he means. But from the sound of it, there's no sense of morality to be found in it, or any real motive in the way it torments them save for the fact that it can. And that isn't something Sesa can just sit around and allow to keep happening.]
Well, I am willing to assist in any way I am able. I won't sit idly by if there's something that could be done about this.
no subject
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.
no subject
He's the one who lives with you and Elsword, right? I ran into him in the lab a few days prior. He does seem quite knowledgeable.
[He should be, if he's a Doctor.]
Well, concrete plans or no, I'm not going to turn my nose up at more information. I've been writing everything I can...though I had to find something other than the notebook I was handed. I didn't realize at first that everyone could read what I was writing.
...sorry about that, by the way.
no subject
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.
no subject
[Another headpat. He means playing videogames-]
Is that entire building yours? I must say I am quite impressed.
no subject
Um, no? I mean, it belongs to everyone. Heimr just helped me make it on my request.
no subject
Wh- Mizuki, what happened to you?!
no subject
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.
no subject
He won't try to take them off, no, instead just keeping Mizuki's hand in his while he looks at it silently. Mistakes had happened, he says, and Sesa has to wonder what exactly he could mean by that.]
I shall. You have my word.
[...]
As long as I am here, I will do my utmost to look after you. I'm sorry you were hurt, regardless.
no subject
[ 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 subject
That's, um. A little alarming? Not just Mizuki and the others being aggressed by yet another moose creature, but that Mizuki had ended up hurting himself in the process, quite literally. He exhales on a stressed sound, his tail shifting to loop around Mizuki a little where he's still sat in his lap.]
I should say so. It seems like there is simply no end to the dangers this place is rife with...
[Even if he himself has only experienced them in a more tangential, personal way, he's going to take Mizuki's warning to heart. It sounds like more of a "when" than an "if" he'll be next.]
Are the marks still present now?
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
[Because for all of the faults their home world has, he's proud to be part of an organization fighting to make it a better place to live. That...and he has work that still needs to be done. Secrets that need to be uncovered, and truths that must come to light.]
I am thankful that you are here with me Mizuki. Even though that means we're both forced to face the Horrors together.

[He feels this way Now. Just you wait, Sesa.]
I could very well have shown up here all alone. Can you imagine?
1/3
2/3
3/3
…That's probably how Mister Gnosis felt…
[ Oh no… ]
no subject
AAA
OH NO-]
W- a-a-a- Mizuki!
[Sesa lifts both of his hands, holding them aloft in front of Mizuki. He shakes his head quickly, his tail once more looping around his waist.]
Now now...everything is alright! Please don't worry, I'm...I'm sure Gnosis is okay. He has us now, that's what matters!
