... What I don't get, is how was it done? On that side, we are all without our abilities, so it can not be that. Other than the weekly effects we experience, there are the drinks sure but...
[ her arms cross, contemplating. ]
It was the forgetting with Lavi, and some memory mix-ups with myself, but this week is merely a large considerable boost to our confidence. So it couldn't have that direct of a hand. [a head tilt. ] Were there any evidence with drinks..?
[ i geuninely do not REMEMBER. ] Because my thoughts do consider the "persuasive" drink...
Mm... it's possible, but I think it's likely she would've remembered going to the bar, in that case. [So it seems unlikely.] Lavi mentioned that he used to have an item that would let you change your appearance, so my best guess is that someone had something that would alter memories.
It's possible Kon will know, when he gets here... unless there were other things at play. [Like maybe Harrow disguised herself as Tuuri and did a stab and confessed to Gideon, who used some secret memory-warping item??? It's a bit of a stretch, but without the culprit, anything could be possible.]
[ she blinks in surprise at that. ] There are items like that exist? How do you even get them? Any rewards I've received from the work we do in the middle of the week have always been some manner of tool or gag gift.
[ nothing as serious as HAVING POWERS. ]
Mm... you're right. We'll just have to wait until he arrives. I know with your own arrival, it was a bit of a surprise for us to find out what happened with your case.
[ sink boy. ]
In any case, are you ready?
[ but i, zetsu, will tell u now i am too lazy to write a fight sequence at almost 10pm so we can just skip to post fight for this thread... hash out the deets of how hard they be going at it. ]
From those adventures people go on, apparently. The ones that people return from shortly before the murders occur. [CYOA PRIZES...] I didn't know either, until Lavi told me. I only received a gift once, the week I voted correctly.
[Which he then never did again because he refused to play by trial rules. But that's not important. He nods, and summons his water bow!]
Always.
[WE CAN ABSOLUTELY SKIP THE FIGHTSCENE LORDT. Childe will go as hard as she wants TBH--he typically doesn't use lethal force in spars, but 1. she's god-adjacent and 2. they come back if they die so he doesn't think he needs to hold back. He'll switch to his blades once they get a little more serious, but he's down to go absolutely ham if she wants.]
[ she truly had no idea... she did know of the voting ones though, because she followed the judgment rules....
her sword lights up with white hot flames, burning bright. she would probably go ham but to an Extent. just because she has so many of her constellation abilities available to her but she will spar for the fun of it and avoid lethal force. she doesn't really fight to kill unless someone has truly wronged her JKHFGJKHD but nice, they can get p beat up as a treat to us both.
when their sparring comes to an end, she releases a breath. ]
Sparring on the other side with Gideon was fun, but it's different on this side with our powers available to us.
[Excellent I'm glad he can go greet Tuuri and Kon all banged up. Childe is also glad about this. Freak.
But he's content to match her, and he looks satisfied by the time they finish. This probably isn't surprising, given that he wasn't really bothered about the trial the way she was, but still.]
Haha, she's a fun opponent, isn't she? Though she could do with a little more training, in my opinion. [(Childe voice) GIDEON YOU CAN'T TANK EVERYTHING] But I have to agree. It's part of the reason I chose to take a risk that night.
[Since Lavi had told him that he had his powers back, on this side; Childe was more-or-less okay with dying a second time if it meant getting his abilities back.]
she's probably watching the new island city from a distance away. sometimes, you just feel like observing demons and humans alike with a sheer amount of Contempt. she does seem perfectly healed otherwise! looks like she went for the faster method.
but her expression evens out when she sees him, blinking a bit surprised. ] Childe. Hello.
But also--well, first of all, it's good to see that she's healed. Even if it doesn't really matter on this side, it's a good sign that she's not walking around all fucked up. (Lavi.) Second, though, that's--hm. That's kind of an odd vibe from her?? Granted, he's mostly seen her in a good mood, but...]
Hey. [A little wave! He will come join her.] I heard a little about what happened.
sometimes, you see how severely damaged you are and decide it's just better to die to start fresh. not that she could blame Lavi for not doing so but, (said in disgust) lavi is mortal after all. ]
Did you? From Lavi and Four's side I take? Unless you've spoken with Chandra as well. [ she doesn't seem to mind his company when he joins her, turning to face him more. ] We were given separate tasks so we were split into two groups as it went on.
From Lavi, but Scaramouche told me Chandra spoke to him too. [He nods, though, and doesn't seem surprised to hear they split up.] It sounds like you were pulled into... some kind of mixed up version of our memories.
That's what it sounds like to me. Though Lavi mentioned that... whatever it was, that was in control--it seems like it could see into his head, too.
[A.k.a. Lavi had a teenaged midlife crisis while Childe standing man emoji'd about the way all his fellow tall redheads keep being upset in his direction]
[ your siblings are looking to you for guidance, unfortunately they are not 12 year olds. stay strong childe. ]
Mmm... well, it had a way of twisting the scenario. There were a few times I'd come across someone from home, or from here, as a long-gone corpse or dying in a cot before me. Then we'd come across someone important, at least in my case- I imagine to try and tempt us.
[ instead of contempt for lavi's mortality, she's contempt about the situation using people she cared about against her. the system should eat shit. ]
This is new to him, though; he's quiet as she talks, mulling that over in his head. He can't even blame her for the contempt in her voice, since he was already annoyed to hear that Teucer got dragged into it, even if fake Teucer was fine.]
It sounds like this one was really out to mess with you all. [Damn... wonder why that was... so weird...]
I have to assume that all excursions tend to torment us in some way. Whether it's by involving those we care about, or pulling at our insecurities and flaws.
They were eventful, but not particularly useful. I went twice, since I was looking for information, but I only ever ran into sentient stuffed animal costumes and that large goose.
Right. We were captured by an owl, first, but Lin Jingheng and I both stabbed it, so it dropped us. By the time we saw Lu Bixing again, there was a goose...
I have no idea. I never did go back to that island.
[because that's where he was MCMURDERED but also right after that he got Snezhnaya Island. He just bypassed the zoo completely, hilarious.
And backtracking a little, to answer her question--]
The costumes were back at that first island--or, the second, technically. I went with Gideon and Rynlan to investigate, and we got locked in that house of mirrors and eventually ran into them.
[He is here! Still in the city, probably, though he looks like he might be getting ready to leave. Or stay? Unclear, but he's got a bag over his shoulder. He doesn't seem to be in a rush, though, since he waves when he sees her.]
Always! Though I could use something to eat. [HIS POST-FIGHT MEALS...] How about you?
With all that fighting, I'd be surprised if you didn't work up an appetite. [ said amused. ] Mmm, thinking of what to do next, I was spending some time outside the city with Chandra after meeting with the others.
[ all that running around in the city is fun, but she needed a break away for a bit. ]
[There are truly so many people here who don't eat normal food... he cannot relate.
But if she doesn't mind it, then he's happy to have her; he indicates a direction with a nod of his head and starts to walk, a steady pace. Mini Seelie does steady loops and twirls over his shoulder, as always.]
What does that mean, anyway? Being a "Constellation."
It's in the same manner as "Gods." Other gods, deities, mythological figures and such are all known as Constellations.
Which is why I am generally known by my Modifier, "Demon-Like Judge of Fire." Rather than by my true name, Uriel. All Constellations have a Modifier they go by.
[ i lov u lil seelie... Uriel merely glances over to it as they walk, curious, but seems more focused on their conversation. ]
