sheep_game | we'll need quite a few fake snake tongues

_{[ angie gets another, nice peaceful memory of him caring for a very young Zidane again in the vibrant vista of weird monkey body horror world. It's a lifeless place, save for the two Genomes in the scene. Angie's his typical self, save being back to the redhead look; all broad, exaggerated for clarity motion that looked almost more at home on the body of a doll. Zidane acts, for all intents and purposes, like a normal, bored child.

He keeps trying to get Zidane to stand still and bask in the light of the big blue crystal in the center of the room, but the kid keeps fidgeting. Finally, Zidane whines, ]}

I don't like these things. They feel weird.

_{[ Angie crosses his arms, looking on the verge of snapping, before... looking around, surreptitiously. They're alone. He gets an idea. ]}

What if I... made it show you something fun, instead?

_{[ Zidane tail curls up like an @ sign, and he practically darts over, a billion questions-- Angie holds up a hand in front of him, a gesture to stop, then moves the same hand to his lips and says... ]}

Shhhhhhh. Or I won't do it.

_{[ Angie turns to one of the big.. triangles with the seal of Terra on it.. and starts messing with it in an arcane way that makes the light coming from the crystal flutter. When he's done, he smiles smugly. ]}

Go and see what you think of that.

_{[ ...Zidane approaches the crystal again, to let its light wash over his skin... and immediately is riveted, by whatever it now shows him.
The memory ends. ]}

[ teammate why are you so much better at slice of life than him, ]

What did he think?

[ do you remember? ]

... _{[ squishes the side of his face against his hand, looking vaguely frustrated at the world in general. ]}

...I don't know. This one was another blank. Surprise, surprise...

— You remember our conversation from two days ago, right? In the lighthouse?

_{[ blank stare ]}

Two days...
...that was longer ago than THAT, wasn't it...?

_{[ he thinks you're talking about when he promised to free you from your chains of pretending not to care about Lily, or whatever ]}

[ oh my god ]

Do you remember waking up on the couch at all?

_{[ that description pings him. the flash of ice-cold fear at waking up somewhere and not knowing how he got there or quite when he'd drifted away; one of the worst of his fears, and the exact same feeling as when the nightmare began after his real death. electricity focused to such a fine point of a waiting bolt in the palm of his off-hand that it hurt, a little, to hold it there.

he remembers feeling a seething fear, but not why.

...well, that's not quite right. Reasons come to him slowly, the more he thinks about it. But now that it's pointed out, there's a hole, like a missing stair. He feels a sense of profound déjà vu.

His brow is furrowed. ]}

I... now that you mention it...

... A one to two day cooldown period, two at maximum. Got it.

A what now, cat.

[ grabs him by the wrist and drags him behind the laundromat ]

_{[ WELL BYE EVERYONE ? !]}

[Time to make our sheep Rose founder proud by spreading lewd gossip about this.]

_{[ you can spread illicit rumors about him ONLY if you use it to get him a desk ]}

[It's cute that you think he gets a say. ♥]

[ have fun dad ]

[ when they're out of earshot ]

Do you remember your request...?

I remember--- I...

_{[ He leans heavily against the rough outer wall of the laundromat. Feels an urge he generally, doesn't. Gives in to the impulse to hug his arms to himself, in what can only nominally be called 'crossing his arms.' The bleary remnants of the memory are uncomfortable. Clearly, Blood Fiend understands it is, that he dragged him over here.

There's no point not to. He submits to looking the part.

(for some reason, he thinks briefly of the feeling of feathers.)]}

Something bad happened. That's it. And... I came up there for some reason...? To your-- larger, lighthouse. It's on the tip of my tongue...

Edited 2023-07-25 02:59 (UTC)

I have the recording. Want me to show you here or —

[ gestures to the larger lighthouse ]

— in there?

_{[ he has the irrational feeling if he goes in there something bad is just gonna happen again.

actually maybe it's entirely rational, seeing at Blood Fiend has a recording, and all. ]}

...How secretive would you guess I'd want to be about... whatever this is.

You cast Dispel on yourself twice. Your hair turned red; your eyes blue.

Out of plain sight then thank you yes let's go.

Roger that, teammate.

[ heading over to the larger lighthouse!! ]

_{[ :/ blood fienddddd you're taking away his excuse to bother the shiny skittish newbieeee--- ]}

[should've thought of that before engaging in a ?tryst? smh]
