I was the only one with physical changes. The others had new powers, but they were mostly manifested into spirit... guns? And a sword? Oh, and a bunch of plants.
A bunch of plants? [Lucas is also canonblind but i aki am laughing. WHO THE HELL WAS KURAMA.] ...Well. I suppose most of these ventures have parts where they don't make a good deal of sense.
...I see... Pickles was still here with us, so I assume this was one of those fake versions of real people that show up in these fog trips? Why was he so strong...
[Aventurine please make more deep meaningful bonds that aren't just with your fiance Cloud.]
I've heard that's fairly common, as well... [Why the amnesia? He wants to know. Just for the PAIN OF IT ALL?? This place is so exhausting he's constantly on the verge of losing it.]
...I imagine that even recalling things as they normally are doesn't ease away what happened or how real it felt at the time.
[Yeah! He can homewreck the hets they have no rights.]
...Considering I'll likely forget that you warned me, I don't believe that's the case... But in the event that I don't, I suppose it's good to remember that it isn't real.
[So he doesn't get covered in acid burns again trying to save a fake version of his sister.]
Almost strange, don't you think? Especially after last week. [So many people blew up so much...] ...I'm grateful for it, though I do wish you'd managed to stay out of trouble, yourself.
[Last week it was everyone sparing Aventurine, this week it was Aventurine sparing everyone (except Cloud).]
He also makes a bit of an uncertain face. He's going to be haunted by this statement when a million people inevitably end up dying on break-ins next week.]
[YEAH HE CAN'T!! But yes... Everyone else is doing their best. Are they actually fine?? Questionable, but "doing their best" is basically fine-adjacent!]
Good. [HE NEEDS TO REST WELL.] ...You've heard about those who will be joining us shortly, I assume?
I think it would be a little depressing if you were able to meet each death without surprise. Even if the death itself is expected, the target never is, after all.
[Imagine just living constantly expecting everyone you love to die. Sounds like Nehan.]

[ Aventurine as canonblind as me. ]

It took two of us take him down.

...I see... Pickles was still here with us, so I assume this was one of those fake versions of real people that show up in these fog trips? Why was he so strong...
no subject
Yes, that's right. None of the people... or animals... we fought were real. They were there to cripple our minds.
no subject
That does seem to be a common trend... Mental and physical torment of a description. I take it you saw people familiar to you, too?
no subject
[ And he doesn't have very many of those! ]
But when I was there, everything felt real. I couldn't even remember this place.
no subject

no subject
You're right about that... I wonder if telling you this will make any difference should you find yourself in a similar situation.
no subject

Anyway, levels Lucas a look of concern because he does still have Famine's request in mind. ]
It's worth a try. At least things were a bit quieter this week.

no subject
... Yeah. Hope that doesn't mean everyone else goes down the pipe of dead or injured next week. I'd hate for that to be a pattern.
no subject
He also makes a bit of an uncertain face. He's going to be haunted by this statement when a million people inevitably end up dying on break-ins next week.]
...It wasn't like that before, was it?
no subject
[ Maybe all of you are the problem!!! ANYWAY ]
How have you been, Lucas? Anything going on with you while I've been here?
no subject
He also just sort of smiles wryly at that HELLO.]
Please don't ask me that while you're the one in the hospital... Nothing at all has happened in the day or so that you've been here.
[You think Miette gets into trouble on a daily basis???]
no subject
Though yeah, the did you get into any trouble was implied. ]
That's good. I'll rest easier knowing that everyone else is okay.
no subject
Good. [HE NEEDS TO REST WELL.] ...You've heard about those who will be joining us shortly, I assume?
no subject
[ KANDA!! HIS BARN CAT!! RONDO?? ]
I shouldn't be surprised this many weeks in, but I still manage to be surprised each and every time.
no subject
I think it would be a little depressing if you were able to meet each death without surprise. Even if the death itself is expected, the target never is, after all.
[Imagine just living constantly expecting everyone you love to die. Sounds like Nehan.]
no subject
... Yeah. It's not one of those things we should become desensitized to.
[ Even if having feelings is BOTHERSOME. ]
Thanks for coming to check on me.
no subject
But he just nods, expression soft but solemn.]
Holding on to every bit of the softest parts of your heart is more important than ever in times like this.
[But the thanks takes him off his guard a bit, and there's a little flicker of the surprise in his expression.]
There's no need to thank me. It's the very least I can do.
no subject
Oh? Didn't want to rub it in my face that I've started causing trouble now?
no subject
He looks a little sheepish for a second because he had indeed been considering bringing that up just to tease.]
If I scold you for causing trouble, you might start causing even more of it.
