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. ))

Really? So, something closer to the product of its environment? We could still probably work with that; it just might be a lot more work.

[ someone (michel) come save us from the lack of computer knowledge!!!! that said: ]

I have. [ ...

give her a moment for her to be confused why he'd be asking her before the light bulb goes off. ]

You know, I don't remember if he was one. It wasn't something that I paid close attention to; when he demonstrated how to use Data Drain I was more focused on that than what class he was.

[ He supposes it would have been hard then, so ]

Ah. I see. I imagine I'd be overwhelmed tol. [ Since Uta was the least hostile one here: ] Is there anything else you can tell us about Lily? To help us understand better.

[ Aside from the fact that Lily is TEN YEARS OLD]

[ i'm in tears how uta really is the least hostile of the ""lily group"". lord help them all get through this, but sinclair is right on the money. uta will take a moment to think of what she could say that differs from what has been said.

hmm. ]

I get the feeling that they've been alone for a very long time with no one to talk to or no one that they can trust. I'll never forget how relieved he was when we met for the first time.

[ so if they're lashing out at someone then maybe there's something else there? ]

They're always so happy to see us and talk to us whenever we come visit them, so it's why I find it hard to believe that they'd want something terrible.

[ It honestly makes Uta the most convincing, but unfortunately Sinclair has mentally assigned "actually ten years old" to Lily after his encounter so. ]

They were lonely, huh...?

[But by us-- ]

You mean, you all visited together? You, Misteaks, Leviathan...?

[ touches the ground. uta tries to do so much but she only gets to go so far.... ]

Not all at once, however there is a place for us when we do visit him.

[ tragically she isn't going to share any other names, but at least she's confirming that levi and beel are two other people besides her who have rights to meeting lily. ]

I believe he reached out to us one by one, and I might have been the most recent person that he contacted to meet face-to-face.

...if that's the case, I wonder...

[ Thinking. Maybe that's why Uta was the least hostile]

--a place?

[ she will allow sinclair to chew on that possibility as she goes to answer his question. ]

Yeah, it's Dismal Waning Descent.

I don't know what happens if someone who hasn't been first contacted by Lily tries to go to that location, but those are the keywords I'd use if I wanted to see Lily.

Edited 2023-10-13 19:18 (UTC)

I see.

[ That's...not a familiar grouping at all. Hm.

He'll have to try it. But not with Mithrun or the usual dungeon runners]

Thanks, Uta. If there's anything else you can tell us, it'd be good to hear from you.

[ specifically Uta because uh

looks at the lily stan group and looks at the camera]

[ tears in my fuckin' eyes about the rest of lily's group. ]

You're welcome Vogel! I want to help everyone figure this all out and find a way out for you all.

[ obviously she's not considering finding a way out for herself since her irl self is dead, but that's not what she wants to focus. now also cue her doing another think about what else could be said that hasn't been (or won't be) said. ]

But hmm... I'm not sure what else to say. I just hope that whenever and if-ever Lily decides to meet everyone face-to-face, that everyone gives him a chance and really listen to what he has to say.

We all want to be understood.

...yeah. If he wants to speak us properly [ Without crazy talk of salvation, or blowing raspberries] I'll listen before I make any judgements.

He can come off as a little awkward or strange at times, but thank you Vogel. That's all I could ask of anyone.

[ watch this thread age poorly. ]

Mm. Of course.

[ fucking rip this thread. but one last thing:]

Uta, when did Lily contact you?

I'd say, maybe a month ago?

It's hard to really know for sure since the date and time has been messed up.

...so probably before we were trapped. Do you know why they spoke to you?

[ oh this is easy. ...and maybe concerning?? if you're a cynical person looking in. ]

Because they saw how much I cared for everyone and hoped that I would show them the same kindness.

Ah. So it was out of the blue then. You didn't go anywhere...?

[ The glitch had been it for Misteaks. He's certain of that now but, Uta...]

Yeah, basically. I received a message from Lily with the request of wanting to meet up somewhere.

I see. So he must have been watching us.

[ Uta...]

[ i'm sorry sinclair... ]

I would assume so. I'm not sure how else he would be able to speak to what he knows.

And that didn't bother you?

Of course it did.

However, it hasn't been the first time that I've been watched or have had people know things about me that I never thought that they would. Whether it was here in the Fragment or when I was alive.

[ and yet despite of this, uta somehow still lacks self-preservation skills and is far too trusting. ]

...you know, I know that feeling too. It's unsettling.

[UTA please. ]

[ :') ]

It is. It can make someone unclean and not want to go anywhere or see anyone...

[ not that she's speaking from experience or anything. ]

But when I streamed, that's exactly what I would do. I allowed myself to be seen and watched constantly—even if it was through a very specific lens.

...don't you think that's what Lily is doing though? Putting on a specific lens for you to interact with him?

[ But there's a little more sincerity to Uta, he thinks. Or maybe he's just a bad judge of character]
