Week four

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: (velvet31)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-07-30 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
...For Ferdinand, yes. [ Probably. She'd like to make sure that would be the worst of it for him. ]
latinumsbetter: (05)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-07-30 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[...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: (velvet09)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-07-30 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh no. Oh fuck. ]

I mean, there's the whole tears of blood thing that happened...
latinumsbetter: (19)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-07-30 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
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: (velvet19)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-07-30 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
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: (11)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-07-30 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...so I should be keeping extra rags behind the bar.
stringup: (velvet18)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-07-30 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
If you want to be safe, I guess?
latinumsbetter: (05)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-07-30 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
And probably something to get blood out of the floor.
stringup: (velvet04)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-07-30 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...Y-yes...

[ She can't help but feel kind of called out right now,,, ]
latinumsbetter: (03)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-07-30 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Quark sighs a little, but it's more performative than anything]

Alright, alright. Anything else that might happen?
stringup: (velvet16)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-07-30 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...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: (11)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-07-30 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[...h m]

For example?
stringup: (velvet05)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-07-30 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Like...I suddenly become nasty towards the people I usually get along with, or despise the things I normally value.
latinumsbetter: (24)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-07-30 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that a permanent thing?
stringup: (velvet17)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-07-30 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but that doesn't stop it from being hurtful.
latinumsbetter: (11)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-07-30 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
But not dangerous.
stringup: (velvet31)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-07-30 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Not normally, no.

[ Listen. After the past couple of weeks she's grown more convinced that feelings can be dangerous. ]
latinumsbetter: (19)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-08-01 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
Not normally? [what does that mean, exactly??]
stringup: (velvet72)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-08-01 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
I think the past couple of weeks have been an exercise in how feelings can be dangerous, actually?
latinumsbetter: (05)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-08-01 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
[...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: (velvet19)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-08-01 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
We all do, I'm pretty sure a lot of them handle it better than I do.
stringup: (velvet83)

[personal profile] stringup 2025-08-01 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...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: (11)

[personal profile] latinumsbetter 2025-08-01 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
...unpleasant business, huh? [because that has Implications]
