That's just hurting yourself in the process.

[ Okay, but was Elysium not completely gone when he'd tried… the timing was so funny. ]

Like what? All that matters is that you can still perform the Destreza, right?

[oversea]

[



he perks up like a fool. ]

That's true.

[ don't just agree. ]

[transmit]

I don't think I've ever seen you do it with your left hand.

[ don't just encourage this ]

[oversea]

Okay. Fight me.

[ NOW? AGAIN? ]

[transmit]

[ There had been a very real part of him that believed Thorns would never want to spar with him again—and he would have accepted that. But once again, he's reminded that Thorns isn't him, his smile stretching from end to end. ]

Perfect. The next location works just as well after a quick match.

[ THEY ARE STUPID!!! ]

[oversea]

[ he squeezes his hand again and finally lets go.




to take his sword. i rolled a 5 which should probably be expected considering he has one hand and it's not even his dominant one. ]

[transmit]

[







i don't know what else to tell you but i rolled a 2 so he's really just clowning around. thorns probably hates him so bad. ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY

kills him with his mind. ]

You are so annoying.

[transmit]

[ HE'S JUST A GUY!!!!!!! ]

Isn't it only fair that we both used our non-dominant hands? But that's a swordmaster for you. Wow.

[oversea]

[ annoying!!!

thorns closes in for a moment so that he presses against elysium, raising his sword so that the blade will just lightly poke elysium on the cheek. boop.

and then he steps back. ]

What's the next area?

[transmit]

Hmmm.

[ Just before Thorns steps away, Elysium tugs him back. ]

Why are you so ready to move on? I like it here.

[oversea]

[ he thinks back to the simulation, of them leaning in to whisper to each other. ]

Comfortable?

[transmit]

[ Yeah. It's the feeling of it just being them under the night sky.

When they go back, it really will be such a long time before they can experience it again. It hasn't been a question of whether they'll be able to get back, ever—as they will. It's just a matter of how much of themselves they'll be able to retain in the process. Or even how much they'll gain and/or lose. ]

I've been. You?

[oversea]

... I am.

[ for the first time in a while.

sometimes you don't quite notice how much something has been weighing you down until you're finally free of it; it's the chance to finally take a step back to marvel at what's been place right in your reach. his fingers can practically curl around it. ]

And I'll keep being it.

[transmit]

We both will.

[ This one's a promise. ]

… I'll have to warn you about the next place we go. You don't have to engage with it, but, uh. It might make you act funny.

[oversea]

Oh, one of those...?

[ he thinks about it... ]

Sure. It's with you.

[transmit]

You really have been keeping away from them, huh? Smart…

[ Truly the wise thing to do if you want to stay out of trouble… ]

[oversea]

[ he peers at him... ]

And you've been running straight into them?

[ he did say he was doing every gimmick. ]

[transmit]

[ He looks away…… ]

Haha…

[ He is! Exercising! His right to remain silent!! ]

For being a Purgatory, this place sure enjoys making you fall in love. But I was talking to some people earlier, and this time around they don't seem particularly crazy. Probably because last week was something else entirely…

—Every bit counts, right? For our shards.

[oversea]

[ thinks about how thorns hasn't gotten love cursed a single time in this game, only divorce cursed, so he's just like OKAY...... my one regret about doing cyoa during lust week is that i did not have time to be an omega or something stupid.

but he continues to peer at him before finally looking away.

"Well, it's not like I have the right to complain." ]

Mm. Then let's just check it out.

[transmit]

[ thinks about how everyone else keeps getting love cursed around him though… these people truly aren't selling the idea to him, i'm in tears.

But at that, Elysium peers back over to Thorns. He has made it a point not to acknowledge these thoughts unless they're funny or he's addressed directly, so a single "?" is all he offers. What would Thorns even complain about? Self-preservation automatically dictates that he discards the thought as quickly as possible, so he does without thinking about it too deeply………

One timeskip later: ]

I felt kind of left out not getting Feline ears.

[ The real funny thing about these kigurumis is that they have such a high chance of barely changing their personalities at all… rigs my dice. ]

[oversea]

[ he's just staring at the kigus, wondering if this is actually necessary. ]

What was with those, anyway? Everyone just suddenly had them when I got back.

[transmit]

It was probably a temporary curse? Just like everything else. But…

[ "That wouldn't expl—…"

Elysium forces himself not to think thoughts. ]

… Anyway. [ Clears his throat. ] Choose one so we can both go in? I haven't had a chance to yet, so I'm kind of excited.

[ mostly because the star room was pretty cool… and so were the simulations from last week. not everything is terrible. don't mind him as he gets into this cat's skinsuit, ig. ]

[oversea]

[ it is now his turn to look at elysium curiously.

but he grabs both the dog and bear ones, holding them out to elysium. ]

Pick one for me.

[transmit]

It's harder to imagine you as a Perro, for some reason. Go with that.

[ the way we just made this into a personality swap event ]
