[ she's not too hard to find if you know her enough. and even if you don't, eventually, uruha would come across her by the koi pond over in the flower garden. she's in the dirt and she's looking at the fish, but she turns her head when she hears someone approach. ]

... hey. [ hi. how's it goin. ]
kumeyuri: (81)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-09 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
... Hey. [walking over...] Holding up okay?
batterypack: (If I fail)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-09 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ well. the answer is absolutely not, for a variety of reasons, but she shrugs instead. ]

About as well as any of us, I think. [ ... ] How are you? It's been a very busy week.
kumeyuri: (78)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-09 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[a sigh]

Well, I think the Thursday group's effects have worn off now, so... that's a relief. [...] Speaking of which...
batterypack: (When your last remains are few)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-09 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ well, she knew this was coming, so. ]

... whatever you want to ask, go ahead.
kumeyuri: (55)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-09 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
... I'm not going to press, but I wanted to check if Jiaoqiu-san or the others had told you that they went to a version of your home.
batterypack: (TV taught me how to feel)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-09 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
...Yves texted me the day they got back. So I know a little from what he told me. [ because dana and i are still threading and i just started threads with zetsu and flurry tonight. ] How's Marcoh?
kumeyuri: (81)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-09 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Better. The buzzing's stopped, and he said he feels less like crap emotionally.

He did reopen his wounds [at the end of trial, trying to stop daigo], but that's his own fault.
batterypack: (I've seen are dead)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-09 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
That's a start. [ mumbled. the buzzing is. weird? but she thinks she can guess, maybe, what that's about. ]

I take it if you aren't concerned about that, I shouldn't be either?
kumeyuri: (70)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-09 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
They've been dealt with. Nothing major, and I'd lose my mind if I worried every time Marcoh did something like that...

[when marcoh is. marcoh.]
batterypack: (I'll fall apart)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-09 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

[ ... normally she would easily continue the conversation and fill the void with her own topics, ask her own questions, but right now she's just... silent. a lot of it comes from knowing about thursday being a thing, some of it comes from not knowing what she should say, and some of it from losing two people she actually did like. ]

...I'd heard the last two ventures people disappeared to were retellings of people's memories. I didn't want that to be a pattern.
kumeyuri: (78)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-09 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[silent for a bit.]

Unfortunately, three times seems to cement that. [...] Gotta be pretty uncomfortable knowing it was yours this time, though.
batterypack: (Now real life has no appeal)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-09 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Third time's the charm, right? [ ... ] A family friend used to say that three was the strongest number. I didn't want it to be for something like this though. Knowing it was mine doesn't exactly help though, no. Considering what I think they must have gone through.
kumeyuri: (55)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-09 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. They talked about that sleeping Welsh king?
batterypack: (I'll fall apart)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-10 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Glendower, yeah. [ ... ] ... the king had been dead for years. When we found his tomb, all there were were bones. I believe it was the same for them, too.
kumeyuri: (126)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-10 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Jiaoqiu-san said he was dead, and something about an infected forest.
batterypack: (I just want to make a change)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-10 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Cabeswater. [ all of this really does sound awfully familiar...wow.... ]

... for us, it was a demon that had been awakened. It wanted to unravel everything it could get its hands on, including Cabeswater itself.
kumeyuri: (81)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-10 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
... I did hear mentions of a demon come up once in a while, yeah.
batterypack: (And she hid under beds)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-10 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...she just looks at him. ]

Why don't you tell me what all you've heard, and I can tell you if you should be expecting anything else.
kumeyuri: (78)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-10 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

Honestly... that's most of it. A demon made them hurt each other? And the only way to stop it was to trade "willing life for unwilling life".

Apparently I was there, on the other side of the river to take them back, but I got lost at that part. I don't know much else about what happened, other than the usual effect of them remembering alternate lives.
batterypack: (Empty your sadness)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-10 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't sound too surprising, if the rest of what's been said is accurate. [ and maybe it doesn't matter. they're all safe, they're on their way to healing... the demon's dead at home. but it feels a little rotten to know that it happened at all. ]

Someone had to die to stop the demon. That's how it worked back home, too.
kumeyuri: (111)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-10 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[...

well, that fucking sucks to hear.]
batterypack: (Now real life has no appeal)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-10 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah. ]

... and like those four, that someone came back. It's just that we were missing something else. Or someone else, I think. That's more accurate.
kumeyuri: (81)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-10 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
... Someone else?
batterypack: (Now real life has no appeal)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-10 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Another friend. [ she looks conflicted about saying this. ] There were four of them, once. But I've only remembered three until recently.
