catch-all: the one where we handwave the opposite of anders introducing himself.

week zero, saturday...1!

[purities]

[looking at sweet charlie's note, still posted on the door of the mansion, and mumbling:]

Like any of them would take her up on it...

[spiritbalm]

[ making a Face at the note. ]

Be wary of that one. She's a bit desperate.

[ i also keep forgetting: fit check. ]

[purities]

[oh. i keep forgetting fit check, too. behold. the whole thing looks like it's been washed and stitched back together way too many fucking times.]

A bit. [a huff, like may mizu thinks it's more than just a bit.] Yes, I could tell.

[spiritbalm]

Demons aren't interested in possessing non-mages, but she seems insane enough to give it a try. I'd keep a wide berth.

[ he is so rude to charlie, who is not trying to possess anyone, but that's fine. ]

[purities]

Possession. That's your concern?

[mizu dragging charlie for unrelated reasons]

[spiritbalm]

[ mizu just be like. her vibe (happy) is awful to be around. ]

Yes, unless you're looking forward to abominations roaming around.

[purities]

[honestly, yes.]

Abominations? Of what sort?

[spiritbalm]

[ its fine very understandable. happy people are awful. why aren't they unhappy about something. find something to be unhappy about. ]

The sort that happens when a demon possesses someone and starts killing people.

[purities]

Some people will do that on their own. [... a pause, thinking.] You said you didn't have your magic yesterday. Is that still true?

[spiritbalm]

You won't find me disagreeing.

[ he very much has included that in his arguments. ]

That's still true. Feels a bit like a missing limb.

[purities]

Hmm... Then perhaps it's the same for her. No magic, no possession.

[spiritbalm]

Still an overbearing amount of cheer.

[purities]

[slowly nods]

She gives the impression that she wants to be liked by everyone. It won't happen.

[be less happy, girl.]

[spiritbalm]

Well, you give the impression you don't want to be liked by anyone.

[ what a pot calling the kettle black situation. ]

[purities]

I don't need to be liked.

[i am god's most bitterest little angel --mizu, probably]

[spiritbalm]

On this, we happen to agree.

[ maybe they should both learn a lesson from charlie. ]

How long do you believe we'll be trapped here?

[purities]

Unfortunately, long enough to find out what they expect from us.

[spiritbalm]

Nothing good, I imagine. Deals in the Fade are never even or fair.

[ well. anyway. ]

... How are your injuries?

[purities]

The Fade?

[so many different names for the afterlife... but mizu pauses, and then makes a face.]

Fine. If you're wondering if I've made them worse, I haven't.

week zero, monday.

[purities]

[peering into the arcade with the absolute most unimpressed look ever.

solemnly:]

The future looks bleak.

[why is it so loud!!!]

[spiritbalm]

[ it is terribly loud. but it is very glowy. ]

And you said you don't believe magic is real. Clearly all very enchanted.

[purities]

If it's this obnoxious, then I am glad it doesn't exist in my world.

[spiritbalm]

It has its uses.

[ gesturing for … mizu to enter first. wow? ]

Should still take a look, just in case. I’m more used to sticking behind the terrifying person with a sword.

[ squishy mages in the back. ]

[purities]

[looks at him up and down.]

Yes. You look like the type.

[magical dps :/

nobody in this thread is a tank, actually. but sure. okay. saunters in, not waiting for him to follow.]

[spiritbalm]

[ everyone says that until they really need that dispel magic on the screeching Revenant or chain lightning on the 400 giant spiders. anders isnt really offended for once. yes? he looks like a beautiful delicate princess?

following automatically like he’s used to it. ]

I hear this is all powered by electricity - so try not to drive your sword through it and electrocute yourself. ]
