MAC ANU ~ GANYMEDE'S MCMANSION



The everpresent afternoon sunset hangs, echoing picturesque across the glass windows apparent at each spot within the large building. In a large room full of tables and what not are heaps of various cuisine settled here or there. Seafood, pastas, drinks, the like; Mediterranean style so if nobody likes that...gomen.

Ganymede has made it clear that he prefers people to be here in order to get themselves together. Sorted, somehow. They're all acting with a sort of independence he seems disinterested in disturbing, but he wants the prospect of potential solutions to be floated along.

If someone has new information they can share, well, it is encouraged. If not, he hopes that they will at least participate in some way.

It now begins.

 

(( OOC Note: People will not be attacked by monsters once within the McMansion, including pool area. ))

[ tbh deto’s mostly here for the food, but he’ll chime in on this topic ]

We’ve been hanging out a lot, so I’d know if there was a gradual shift in his memories. [ glancing at nanashi ] But it’s like he forgot overnight.

Well, dunno if forgot is the right word for it. Like everything that happened was replaced with something else.

[insinning]

[Ah-!]

...I thought it was funny. Nanashi seems...more chipper? I don't know.

[deto]

His smiles are more real.

[insinning]

...are they really?

[ If something has changed then...]

[deto]

He's still the same person. Just. The stuff that was awful for him isn't there anymore, like one of those miracle cures.

[ a "fix" ]

I don't know if it's a good thing, honestly. But it's up to him to decide.

[insinning]

...it doesn't sit right with me. But you're correct. It really is up to him.

[ The choices belonged to Nanashi after all]

[deto]

… Yeah. But. His life before didn’t sit right with me either.

[ so. rock, hard place ]

It would have taken a long, long time to help him overcome his past. Years? His entire life?

[insinning]

Those kinds of memories are hard to move beyond. But to not even have a choice...

[ That's what bothers Sinclair the most]

Or the option to move forward with your own feet... that's not right. We're all just doubting Nanashi's own strength then.

[deto]

[ yeah, that part bothers him, too ]

I don’t disagree or anything, but. [ he glances at nanashi through the cover of his bangs, eyes dark and soft ] I’ve been thinking a little about this. If someone can’t move forward on their own two feet without this help, if the struggle is so damn hard that it kills them everyday to try, and something like this comes along… I don’t want them to feel guilty to their past self, to everyone around them, for making the choice to accept - this.

[ his eyes flick back to vogel ]

I don’t want him to feel bad about this.

[insinning]

...I get that too. [It's painful. Whatever Nanashi has been through, from the hints he had gotten, the things outright said...]

I just hope he had a choice. He deserves that much.

[deto]

[ a tight nod ]

[insinning]

...but it might not be just Nanashi. A lot of us might be affected.

[There's that unsettling feeling settling like ice in his veins]

[deto]

[ looks down at himself with a shrug ]

I don’t feel any different, but I guess I’d need someone else to confirm that. What about you?

[insinning]

...there's one person who probably knows a lot. But even he wouldn't know everything if I just didn't tell him.

[Scary, but]

[justonezero]

[-?!]

[deto]

[ ah shrugging helplessly ]

Should I stop?

[justonezero]

No, it's okay.

...It just sounded a little sad, that's all.

[deto]

[ not just a little to deto ]

That’s… kinda why I was coming up with so many plans.

[justonezero]

To cheer me up?

[He seemed like a pretty big downer before...]

[deto]

[ quietly, just for nanashi’s ears: ]

To show you that there was someone out there willing to prioritize you. But the cheering up would have been a nice bonus.

[justonezero]

[It's probably just as well because he goes faintly pink just hearing that.]

Ah...

[...Maybe he wasn't so unfortunate like that after all, then. If it meant meeting Deto like this...]

Um... thank you.

[deto]

[ pink bun. cute ]

Well… I dunno if you should thank me just yet. Now when we do get to those plans, it won’t just be with the goal of prioritizing you.

[justonezero]

[Aaaa he's just going to get pinker, how is he supposed to stay subtle like this????

He manages to duck his head in a hurried nod.]

Y-- Yeah.

[When. ...When they leave.

It's still a conflicted feeling, but... he's softening on it, bit by bit.]

[deto]

[ wow ]

I didn’t mean that. Specifically. But… I… Uh. Would count on that being likely. Too. If you…

[ he trails off. how’s that for subtle ]

[justonezero]

[Be responsible be responsible be responsible be responsible-]

Um... I guess we'll see?
