That about says it all doesn't it...

[fretbro]

[he drags in a shaky breath, and then lifts his head out of the pillow.]

Are you okay? You went through one too?

[decisions]

[ oh bass. he just gives a small nod. ] I'll heal. Just going to have to find a way to get around for a few days until I can get into the pods again.

[ percy????? ]

It was... certainly not what I was expecting.

[fretbro]

[he puts the pillow down, and comes to sit down next to him.]

You should try to get in there before a few days, dude. [he rubs at his face.] Do... uh, do you wanna talk about it?

[he's trying.]

[decisions]

[ he'll nod. look, he'll try, okay? ]

Will you be alright if I do...? It was... quite a lot and I would like to try and give details while it's still fresh...

[fretbro]

I wanna hear what happened if you wanna talk about it.

[he rubs at his wrists.] You don't have to worry about me, I'm okay. Someone took my emotions away earlier and I'm mad about it, that's all.

[decisions]

"That's all." I'd be rather angry as well...

[ not scolding, just... you know. it's allowed to be bigger than "that's all." still, that sounds fucking awful. ]

We saw Caduceus' home, in the same world where Vax and I live... though I think the prism twisted it somehow, the way it tends to. But we met some of his family... we were able to get his staff to him as well from them.

[fretbro]

[a pause.]

Wait, who? [he can't hear the name weeps] It was someone's memory?

[decisions]

[ a beat. may as well just use the other name. ] Shale's memory.

[fretbro]

Oh. He has a family?

[decisions]

[ he nods ] Some sisters, a mother, and a few others as well.

[ he hums and his expression shifts, like he's searching for the better parts, honestly, frowning as he recalls others. rubbing at one of his scratches. ] We also had magical abilities as well. I could summon another me... and these spirit guardians—like little rodents with unicorn horns that flew...

[ help....... ]

[fretbro]

... Like, unicorn hamsters?

[hello]

[decisions]

[ he nods. ]

Exactly like that. They were vicious... they sort of grew on me by the end.

[fretbro]

I guess that's... cool. [:bunsweat:] Weird, but cool.

[decisions]

Definitely weird... magic is odd.

But... your emotions. How were they taken away...?

[fretbro]

I don't know. [he rubs at his nose.] I went to Emet-Selch, I freaked out - and then I couldn't. I was just calm.

[decisions]

[ he nods quietly ] But it's over... glad for that... was it a gumball of some kind or some sort of ability?

[ maybe u gotta scream, like, 2 more times into the pillow, he wont judge ]

[fretbro]

It might've been a gumball. I didn't see anybody chewing one.

[he was too busy staring at danny breaking all of emet's bones]

[ktiseos]

[.... looking away from this. fuck.]

[fretbro]

[ktiseos]

....

[he sighs.]

Meteion.

[fretbro]

[oh]

[well. he's quiet for a second, and then:]

She... probably meant well. [but he's clearly unhappy.]

[ktiseos]

...she did. But for that to happen to you, so soon-

[bad!]

[fretbro]

[fidgets.]

I couldn't even really be upset. Even if I wanted to.

[decisions]

[ dude ]
