[ Puts us in the Dressed to the Nines or Cloud Nines whatever the hell this place is officially called. Daan is looking at the spread and raising a brow. ]
I'd almost say this place outright spoils in comparison to the meagre things we had over on that side.
Meanwhile, Aventurine is already busying himself by trying on different accessories and admiring the way they look from a huge, full-length mirror. All the glitz and glamor are a bit of a contrast against the bandages still wrapped around his arm and some on his face, but he doesn't seem to mind. ]
Oh, it absolutely spoils. When I first arrived in this town, I took a bath for about two hours.
I was told about your return on this side. Are your injuries healing well? I'm assuming that you did return... well, alive, like Mr. Kanda did but anything could surprise me here. Pseudo-immortality and all.
Yes, I returned alive, but barely. The others took me to the healing pool and that mended the severest of my injuries.
[ He plucks a fancy little fedora off of a nearby rack and turns it over in his hands. ]
I'm recovering quickly, thanks for asking. The first few days were the hardest. I was acting a bit strangely, and then I had the pool's effects to deal with. Was it the same for you?
Plenty, but nothing that you all haven't already been asking.
Seems like the current plan is to wander around until you discover any anomalies, suffer a little bit, win prizes to make up for the trouble... or make graphics and interpersonal rankings to somehow unlock tomes for Mr. Nehan to peruse.
[ Raising his brows. Does he have that right, more or less? ]
[ Frankly it is rude you rated him flat and terrible but also he'd kind of hate it if you rated him good and juicy so there's just no winning here. Stop looking at his ass unless you're interested for real. ]
Roughly similar times to what we usually deal with on the other side? At least there's more motivation to participate in this than over there.
[ 🥺 He would have given you a generous ass rating, Daan, it's just that other people got to you first. ]
Right again. There's a bit of danger when it comes to retrieving these tomes, but no one's gotten seriously injured or died yet. The real trouble always arrives on Thursdays.
At least they apparently have the generosity of undoing the death... to a bare-minimum level. Heard that you had the misfortune of arriving a bit far away from the spring and it was a close call.
Although I also heard you can revive anyway, but I'd understand not wanting to test that overmuch.
[ (zia voice) they should show up in the gacha store in giant gacha boxes ]
... I think I've grown a bit tired of dying.
[ You chase after it one time and it's not as great as everyone makes it out to be. Especially after the third time. ]
Yeah, revival's here take something away from you for about 24 hours. It leaves the people in distress, and I've had to keep an eye on people after they've revived to make sure they don't hurt themselves.

W5, monday
I'd almost say this place outright spoils in comparison to the meagre things we had over on that side.
[ YOU GUYS. TRULY HAVE SO MUCH SHIT. ]

[ He was also just very blank and at peace with things but you can only exhibit so many issues at once when you are possessed and do a murder. ]
The last time I was put into the healing swamp, I emerged feeling twice the amount of pain. Seemed a bad idea on a Thursday, so I refrained.
no subject
But ah. Thinks about... Aqua with Cloud's sword... ]
Can't blame you for that. I saw Kanda's still missing his ear, so I suppose he decided against it, too.
[ Why are you all like this. ]
no subject
He's still missing it?
[ He didn't get to look that close with all the excitement and then he's a cat today. HELLO?
Meanwhile Daan has his finger back... wtf... ]
no subject
He is. We were headed to the shopping center yesterday and he could barely walk straight.
no subject
[ KANDA... UN-NERF YOURSELF. ]
no subject
[ TEENS... DIFFICULT... KANDA... SOMETHING MORE THAN DIFFICULT ]
no subject
[ Please, listen to a doctor maybe. Get yourself to walk straight again Kanda. It'll be the only thing straight about you. ]
no subject
[ Just on the grounds of knowing each other longer in the living side... ]
no subject
Looks and sounds like you've been hard at work, all of you.
[ Producing the notebook Aventurine handed him yesterday. He's perused through it. ]
no subject
Everyone's been eager to pitch in. Did you find the information helpful? Any questions?

[ And then, just to clear the air, ]
It wasn't me who gave you a terrible, flat ass.
no subject
I don't care...
[ Stop talking about his ass. ]
no subject
[ Just him. Only he is glad. ]
But yes, expect a puzzle in the middle of this week. You'll be roped into it with the rest of us.

[ Stop chasing it, scrungles him. ]
Right. I've heard memory is one of them, so it doesn't even necessarily have to be something objective or physical.
no subject
[ Slight pause. ]
... Actually, I think it would be quite funny to see you smiling and laughing and acting as though you don't have a care in the world.
no subject
[ It's exactly what the cat wants too, and in fact what the cat does to him, which just adds a funny layer. ]
