... 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.
kumeyuri: (126)

As in, you had memory issues?
