Week four

[letsplayamod]

Two more of your fellow gods, your companions, your friends, have met their end together. As you turn in for the night, and a new week dawns upon you, it's starting to be a bitter experience. Just how much of this will you be forced to take?

But all isn't just despair. The morning is brighter than the last. The storm clouds that previously plagued almost every day have dissipated, and this week brings plenty of sun and a friendlier breeze. Not to mention, another floor of this strange temple has revealed itself. Whatever lies within is your domain, not Typhon's. Keep it tight in your grasp, because you never know when you'll lose it.

[...]

That is just what we're looking at, right? Because that's what it sounded like.

[stringup]

...For Ferdinand, yes. [ Probably. She'd like to make sure that would be the worst of it for him. ]

[latinumsbetter]

[...uh huh. Quark is going to study her for a moment, before he's leaning forward to lean his arms on the desk again.]

And for you?

[stringup]

[ Oh no. Oh fuck. ]

I mean, there's the whole tears of blood thing that happened...

[latinumsbetter]

Right. When you tried to help someone.

Is that going to happen again with that whole "genuine relationship with the living" thing? Or something else?

[stringup]

It might happen again, or it could be some other ominous portent. Stuff like the grass wilting, or the temperature suddenly dropping, or I start bleeding from my hands non-stop...

[latinumsbetter]

...so I should be keeping extra rags behind the bar.

[stringup]

If you want to be safe, I guess?

[latinumsbetter]

And probably something to get blood out of the floor.

[stringup]

...Y-yes...

[ She can't help but feel kind of called out right now,,, ]

[latinumsbetter]

[Quark sighs a little, but it's more performative than anything]

Alright, alright. Anything else that might happen?

[stringup]

[ ...Well, there is one thing that comes to mind that seems relevant. ]

If...I seem even more of a bitch than usual, it might be because of that.

[latinumsbetter]

[...h m]

For example?

[stringup]

Like...I suddenly become nasty towards the people I usually get along with, or despise the things I normally value.

[latinumsbetter]

Is that a permanent thing?

[stringup]

No, but that doesn't stop it from being hurtful.

[latinumsbetter]

But not dangerous.

[stringup]

Not normally, no.

[ Listen. After the past couple of weeks she's grown more convinced that feelings can be dangerous. ]

[latinumsbetter]

Not normally? [what does that mean, exactly??]

[stringup]

I think the past couple of weeks have been an exercise in how feelings can be dangerous, actually?

[latinumsbetter]

[...alright that'll get a wry huff out of him]

Point.

[even HE can't deny that]

Do all Exalted Abyssals have this problem? Or is it just you?

[stringup]

We all do, I'm pretty sure a lot of them handle it better than I do.

[latinumsbetter]

How's that?

[stringup]

[ ...Does she want to get into it here... ]

Some of them...act as representatives of the unquiet dead. But a lot of them are involved in unpleasant business.

[latinumsbetter]

...unpleasant business, huh? [because that has Implications]
