TALKIES

[fried]

[ there's only one thing worse than a child(e) ]

[midway]

[ Since Claude has been mothered, he WILL go to check in the others. Strange how he no longer questions why they're the only four with a halo. There's no answers anyway, and no point in running in circles.

He's mostly trying to see if Richie is keeping it together. He doesn't know that Taair is a father now. ]

[purities]

[our sim plumbobs...

how is claude holding up, though?]

[midway]

[ He's doing okay! Glancing at Mizu. ]

You're good with the sword, right?

[purities]

Yes. Why?

[gutterbound]

[Richie is fine. He's dusting off his hands after getting back.]

Oh, hey Claude. Were you out with Judith just now?

[midway]

[ i swear to sothis ]

Yeah, she was giving me advice on shooting.

[gutterbound]

[HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING]

She's a real peach that way.

Something on your mind?

[is his plumbob agitated]

[historicals]

[ hi! baby aside taair seems all good - as ever, he does an immediate sweep over claude to make sure he's physically okay and then offers a warm smile. ]

Are you all alright, Claude?

[midway]

I'm fine.

[ Looking troubled. ]

Just thinking that it doesn't seem as though anything for is waiting for us.

[historicals]

[ an orphan child!!!!

anyway taair returns from his little excursion with a tiny baby foxian fast asleep on his hip.


this is very normal ]

[purities]

[




stares at this whole ass child??????????]

[historicals]

...I can explain...

[ ???? ]

[gutterbound]

Taair? You can't have been gone that long.

[historicals]

Richie...

[ please, ]

There was a destroyed village not far from the camp...Marcoh heard her crying.

[purities]

[i'll react to the other things when it's normal est time but before i pass the fuck out--

mizu just walks up the the gang (+baby?!?!), and without any preamble:]

I need all of you to concentrate. Tell me what you feel.

[gutterbound]

A deep and unshakable love for you?

[purities]

I will kill you, and your body will never be found.

[historicals]

[ a new purpose in life that might be parenthood....?


no he will listen. taair closes his eyes and does try to concentrate as asked. ]

....Nothing out of the ordinary. [ ? ] Did something happen...?

[purities]

Hm. Maybe you didn't concentrate hard enough.

[it is 7am in sweet flurry time so we can just double check later.]

Yes. To me, but also to Childe and Lingsha. He felt the presence of something big right behind him, she could smell fire, and I felt as though I were drowning.

[gutterbound]

[you guys are so ambitious i'll tag you later it is now later]

Eddie found a mara-struck soldier out in the ruins today. Early onset — way too early. I don't know if that's going to be a one off but since it can be triggered by stress, we ought to keep an eye out for other cases.

[historicals]

Early onset...

[ hmmrmrm....worrying.... ] I'm glad you two were able to get to him. Let us hope you're right - that it is an abnormality. Did you get the name of the soldier...?

[gutterbound]

[I think flurry is asleep? I was given no name so flurry can come destroy me later and retcon this but for now, since Richie would ask:]

Sylvain. Never met him before.

[purities]

[... well, shit.]

A bad sign. [not good. not good at all.] How long has it been since the symptoms made themselves known?

[gutterbound]

Hours at best. Poor guy said he was walking past what he thought was his childhood home. In ruins, no doubt.
