letsplayamurder | Week Three

A new week rolls around. You are three people lesser than you were at this time last week. No owls mark the horizon, or tall goddesses stroll the pavilion. Wherever Athena's gone, it seems her promise to return promptly hasn't met with success... or worse.

What's more, Typhon's presence now looms over the island. His twisted game now fully realized: if you really wish to leave here, you'll need to get away with murder, and one of your own already failed and reaped the consequences. There's no change for Crito or Sayo's statues on the pavilion. They simply stand silent, watching the rest of you go about your lives as fresh godlings.

It's not all bad, however. The clouds that marked the sky as near-perpetual overcast have started to wane. Stars and sunlight have started to peak through. Within the temples, the strange force keeping you from taking those mysterious stairs has finally vanished. You're free to move to the next level of whatever this shimmering palace has to offer.

[ It's fine, Sanic can watch over them. He seems responsible?? And also is the only one who can move more than a few wobbles.

Speaking of wobbles. Alex has a pretty hard time standing on his own! He definitely leans the majority of his weight on Luna. ]

Sorry. [ He grunts, but he does have a suggestion: ] First aid kit. We should grab one by the- the training grounds.

Ah! Yes, of course!

[ That way first, then! ]

Where did you put them? We need not go all the way there, as long as I can see it.

Uh- should be a pile at each corner of the field, and...another few next to the training dummies.

[ really he just wanted to make sure there was close access to one every few feet, honestly. ]

Ah, yes! Here we are...

[ Once she catches sight of the pile at the nearest corner, she can pick one up with her magic and bring it over. No need for a full detour! As they continue, she pops it open to look through the contents. Most of it would be perfectly ordinary to find in a pony's first-aid kit as well: bandages, antiseptic, things like that. The only items she doesn't quite recognize are some of the medications, but - well, she's sure the humans could identify them and their appropriate usage perfectly well. ]

[ Grab n' go, that's the spirit.

As they get closer to the kitchen, Alex seems to recover a little, at least in energy. It's not much, but he's not leaning as heavily on her. And, if Luna takes a glance at the horrible mess his head is, the wound seems to be... Well, it's not good. But it's better? Like it's veeeeery slowly closing on its own. ]

Hm...it seems to be healing quicker than I would have thought.

[ She'll guide him over to a chair, and start pulling together everything she needs to clean the wound. Easier with magic, at least; she can stay right here next to him while she does it. ]

...It makes sense. It's... It's done this before. When I've used too much.

Has it? You must be cautious with it, then...

[ She feels a little bad, remembering how she's been pressing him to practice in the past. Once it's clean, she'll search for a bandage to apply... ]

Oh, these new ones! [ She's talking about a big band-aid! ] It is handy that you have so little fur.

Yeah. Yeah, I probably...shouldn't've used it that much anyway. [ Don't feel bad, the idiot's been cagey.

The more he rests, the more it starts to heal itself, but like. A band-aid is definitely a good idea. Alex turns his head so it's easier to apply, even if it does start at his hairline. Speaking of- ]

We call it hair.

Oh! We only use that for our manes and tails. It is a bit different from the fur that covers our bodies.

[ That is, hair makes them up; she'd still use "mane" or "tail" generally. Anyway, it's weird for her because it's a little hard to tell from looking if either of those are actually hair in her case. ]

[ ...yeah girl, especially so close like this, your hair's kind of insane? like wow is that the universe in it- ]

I bet. [ Still tired, less woozy. Uughh. He blinks hard to help orient himself. ] For humans... Fur's what animals have, when it covers the whole body.

It is a little strange to see! There are species on my world without fur, of course, but they tend to have scales instead! It makes you all look very soft.

[ No softer than her, granted, but you really only see a bald pony if they are injured or very sick. It feels vulnerable to her. ]

...We are. People- humans, we're...really soft and fragile.

[ ... ]

S'why, when I figured I could heal people, I was happy, but...

[ But it does this to him, too. ]
