⬣//A BRIEF REPRIEVE

  >>Look at me.

        ⬣//BREATHE. EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

      

This is your Official™ catch-all log for the month of November. While the boss battles rage on, those of you who are looking to disengage from combat and kick your feet up for a spell can do so here.

Post your open prompts in this post. Closed starters may also be posted here or on @Altimit, but all open posts belong here in this log. Lawbreakers will be bent over the modly knee and paddled into compliance. Thank you.

-What do you mean?

[His posture shifts - ready to follow wherever Hien may be headed.]

Being sick alone, dying alone, suffering alone... It's cold and lonely. It's worse when you had a taste of how it could have been.

[ If Nanashi wants to keep Hien here, he'll have to do something that expresses that clearly, or Hien just might disappear. ]

[Since Hien's on his feet, he will indeed go to stand by his side.]

...You don't have to be alone through those things either, you know.

I don't get to decide that.

[ ... ]

But it would be nice if I didn't have to, at least emotionally.

[ There could be a crowd gathering around him as he dies and that would do nothing for him. ]

Who would you want with you?

Makoto.

[ No hesitation. ]

...We'll get him back.

[They have to. He has to hope it's possible.]

[ ...

Hien closes his eyes again and then reopens them a moment later. ]

I'll... get him back. I'll go look for him again. So, stay here. Get prepared with your friends.

I'm already doing my homework.

Where are you going?

To where Makoto would be.

[ Though he seems a little confused on the homework part. ]

I'll surely... find him.

Then you're still just searching.

I can come with you. Then there's two pairs of eyes.

[And one halo eye for a grand total of five.]

... Did you want to talk to him too?

[ He can't understand why Nanashi is insistent on searching with him. ]

I want him to be safe, too.

[He's a person in the end, even if he's been convinced otherwise.]

[ ...

Hien takes Nanashi's hand, holding it gently. The next time he blinks, Nanashi will find himself in the jail space, just as Albedo had described it, but then he appears back in Mac Anu with Hien. ]

Can you access the garden's keywords?

[-Whoa. He blinks a few times after the sudden jumps.]

Oh, uh- I can try?

[Are they near the chaos gate for him to attempt it?]

[ They're not so far off from the Chaos Gate, so he walks towards it with Nanashi in tow. ]

Go on.

[ Unfortunately, it would be blocked off even if Nanashi did have access... ]

[He never had access before, so although he tries inputting the keywords...]

...It didn't work.

Mm.

[ Hien steps forward to try and access it himself, but even with admin privileges, he's unable to access the area. Stupid glitch. He's gonna kick Magus's ass when he gets there. ]

... When I entered that garden before, I turned into a cat. It was annoying. It could have some annoying mechanism to you too, should you ever enter the place or face Cubia.

A cat? Was it a status effect?

No. I assume Cubia messed with the coding... to turn me into a cat if I ever entered the place to cause minimal damage.

[ But he's been a good boy?

... Debatable. Anyway. ]

...You do have admin privileges. Would he do something like that for the rest of us too, do you think?

Unfortunately, my admin privileges pales in comparison to what he can do.

[ ... ]

I'll keep thinking then.

[ aka he'll camp at this chaos gate and try to get in every day ]

...Sorry I couldn't help.

You can always help in other ways.

[ Hien reaches out to gently pat Nanashi's head and withdraws his hand. ]

So, go on. Do what you can to help yourself and others.

[ But not him. ]

-But I wanted to help you.
