[hey we gotta go fetch a priest.

what's the gameplan?

how are we getting there safely this time? some of us need to breathe. some of us can't swim.

who's comin]

[ comin'. needs to do the damn mermaid quest again ]

[Even though it's morning, she has changed into her pajamas and is currently in the kitchen, plating up a stack of raw gatordawg chops like they're pancakes, while a mug of bone broth is in warming in the microwave.]

[Obviously coming along, and he advises they talk to Daisy about any underwater breathing things instead of Red.]

I can go ask Daisy once she's back, if we want to send a representative. I was planning to deliver a quest item to her anyway.

[ admiring his hair... ]

[ at some point, Subito awkwardly addresses the team ]

Um... in the unlikely event that Bluebell's shepherd delivers me back here as a toy doll, please don't be alarmed, or take it as provocation toward Rose. It's per my request, in case of emergencies.

[ angie-dove's response to this PSA is to grin nastily into his chicory coffee. ]

_{"What would we even do if we had a club like that" he says, "Just give it one hundred more years, he says...}

[ ....carelessly tosses a lock over his shoulder. ]

What's that look~? My true form everything you'd dreamed I'd be?

You do?
What are you carrying over to her?

Levie, I was thinking. You were fully the fastest swimmer, when we went before, and it was good you led the charge. The sharks had a trouble catching you, but were attracted by the movement up front the most... it worked. But we were open in the middle.
I want Ananke with us again protecting our flanks.

[ ,

sips his chicory coffee while looking at the straps on the back and thinking to himself if he's going to keep provoking her he should maybe, maybe contribute more to their meat stores ]

Rose receives a six-pack of magic potions that grant the drinker one full night of pleasant, restorative sleep. They will have beautiful dreams and wake up feeling completely rested. It tastes like the drinker's favorite flavor.

[ the whole pack is in the fridge rn. but angie takes them out to put out before them all. ]

I think we should save at least one of these to study in the lab.

Crescendo of Bluebell and I have been musing on the idea of running a joint effort between our two flocks... to create a theatre. It was, personally, my own wish for if we had prevailed in the previous ritual...

[ he plays around with the memory coin he (and all of them) had received... but no, Rose-driven upgrade. ]

...yet that was not in our cards, it seems.

I think it would be a lovely first agenda to approach our priest with, once we've recovered them and they're feeling sprightly enough for running such requests. Annndd~~....

If it's Rose's priest, it will be undoubtedly more in our name, than any other's~.

[She continues gathering up some silverware, and gets her mug out of the microwave, giving no indication she knows he's there]

Welcome back.

[She gathers her food and takes it to the kitchen table. Her body language is perfectly casual and lazy, as if she is having a lovely, relaxing morning.]

[She takes a seat on a side of the table where she can look at him directly without turning her head as she has her breakfast.]

Did you have any trouble?

What's your agreement?

Whatever with? ...Resuming this body?

I had a plan. I executed it. As you can see, I am now hale, hearty, and myself.

Any struggle is ephemeral in the face of proper results.

I'm just sorry I wasn't there to witness it. And I was so hoping to get the chance, too.

[Delicately cutting a piece of food and eating it, very polite]

[ he lowers his cup. line of sight, uninterrupted. eyes finally flicked open enough to properly bore into her. a step back from the cavalier mask, as he looks for traces of something her peerless composure simply won't show. ]

Oh, well.
In life, opportunities pass, and are in time replaced.

I'm sure, if you're overly curious, there will be more occasions to educate you in the particulars.

And the next time you need to be put down, I'll be there.

[Takes another bite, unhurried.]

What'd you do with the body?

Put it in the fountain, made a wish, and watched it wake up confused and fly away.

[ lying.

it's cached in one of the freezers in the meat locker. wrapped neatly in paper, tied at the neck, breast, and tail with twine. the shape is distinct. even more obvious, to the touch. ]

Edited 2024-04-03 15:06 (UTC)

[Zero indication if she buys this or not.]

And what did that feel like, watching it fly away after all the time you'd spent together?

Like a chapter of my life I'd earnestly wished done with was fi-na-lly closed.
