[lucentia]

Yes, the amount was quite alarming. At least we managed to get everyone looked at in time.

[lucentia]

Briefly, but we managed to make him come back to his senses.

[lucentia]

A different cult. It was an island, and the people there also turned out to be some sort of... hivemind infection? But any traveler who refused to join them, they killed.

[lucentia]

[




SORRY HE'S SURPRISED AT THE HALF-HUG]

[aerodynamic]

[ i see my text html just failed me entirely whatever it's fine aNYWAY. ]

If it's any consolation, we didn't save anyone it ours either. Not until the very end, and even then they disappeared on us.
The river?
A different one than the river here, I assume.

[lucentia]

Yes, it was just a river on the island. I don't know that it itself had any special properties, but it took us to a lake, where we... sunk into the water. Things ended there.

[voring]

Woah. [WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING OUT THERE.]

So you got to this weird island and they tried to kill you guys? Is that how you got all beat up?

[lucentia]

We left the island at first, mostly unaware of what was going on, but then we came across a boat with a woman I didn't recognize, Rafayel, and... Tokinaga. Rafayel was ill, and we believed it originated from the island.

So we returned with them to try and cure Rafayel, which is when—essentially as you put it.

[lucentia]

[he smiles.]

Of course. [...] You and Mafuyu are both very reliable.

[glub]

[ lucien...



rafayel gives him a pat on the shoulder, like: ] Hello?

[lucentia]

Huh? Ah—apologies. You just surprised me for a moment.

[oversea]

Okay.
Are you feeling alright?

[lucentia]

I feel guilty about what I did to him, though it's hard to apologize to him for it when it wasn't exactly the real him.

[aerodynamic]

Lucien... this sounds terrible.
Not that I expected it to sound GOOD, but are you telling me you guys drowned to get back here?

[lucentia]

Not exactly. We sunk into the water, but it didn't feel like drowning. [I would know...] It was... peaceful?

[(cyoa runner voice) imagine you are sora kingdom hearts going into the water in the kh opening]

[aspirings]

[Hm?

He seems a little surprised for Mafuyu to be brought up, but nonetheless is ready and prepared to talk about her.]

Mafuyu is certainly an incredibly kind and reliable person! I'm glad to hear that you have both been able to support each other as well.

[lucentia]

[she also went basically "please rely on me" so he thought of her...]

She is, yes. She's already agreed to help look out for Hien and Sylus on my behalf.

[glub]

I... [ he does release his hold on him awkwardly. ]

No, I didn't mean to surprise you.

[lucentia]

[It wasn't unwelcome... I'm just not used to it.]

No, it's fine. I'm sorry if I made it awkward.

[handfast]

I think most people did. [ but here they are. ] At least whatever you lost will come back.

[ truly the only thing keeping him sane. ]

Were you guys all together? [ all six of them.... ]

[aerodynamic]

[ well this explains a lot. ]

Like floating through nothing.
And then you were back here?

[lucentia]

I was with Hien and Sylus. I know nothing of what happened with Tokinaga, Fiammetta, and Isabeau.

[lucentia]

Essentially, yes.

[aspirings]

[they may share Tendencies...]

Hm! I see! Was that able to put you at ease any?

[glub]

[ even rafayel can't help, but find that: Kinda cutie.

his one shared thought of the day... ]

You've been through a lot. A little bit of awkwardness isn't going to kill either of us, you know.
