::So, Judai and Asuka and anyone else living at Sakana, you feel a shift in the air this late August Day, as someone approaches from the trees, walking on the top of residential walls and other objects. Green haired, adjusting gloves.::

Comments

[i_like_red]

Uh-huh. Right.

So... *He crosses his arms.* ... I assume you're here for the same thing we talked about previously.

[daeasterncourt]

Indeed.

Negotiations are preferable to violence, are they not, your majesty?

::Smiling.::

[i_like_red]

Agreed, but I'm pretty sure our stance hasn't changed since the last time.

[daeasterncourt]

But that means it hasn't worsened either, correct?

::Tapping their foot, there's an almost 'bird in a human meat suit energy' to them, honestly, the way the hold themselves, how they move, how they carry themselves..::

[i_like_red]

I guess not, but I still don't think our opinion will be changing.

[daeasterncourt]

Very possible, but it's worth attempting, is it not?

::Chuckles lightly with a vague 'caw' in their voice.::

[i_like_red]

Fine. Asuka will be here in a moment. Once she is, we can talk.

[danse_etoile]

::Comes back out in a windbreaker jacket, a light T-Shirt for the weather and breathable pants.::

... ah.

[i_like_red]

*He looks over at her as she approaches.*

Yeah. Looks like our "friend" here wants to talk to us again.

[danse_etoile]

Better than a multitude of other options, at least.

[daeasterncourt]

Indeed, Bride of the King.

[i_like_red]

*Judai looks over at their visitor.*

So. How would you like to start the discussion.

[daeasterncourt]

The world is dying and every light shall fade, every star shall return to darkness.

We would like to stop that.

[i_like_red]

And I assume to do this, you still want Fujiwara's research.

[daeasterncourt]

It leads the way to the furthest gate in the depths of Yomi. So, yes.

[i_like_red]

Right.

Well, as I mentioned, I don't think our stance has changed with that. I think the both of us still are unwilling to hand over his research to you.

[daeasterncourt]

And please reiterate what your issue is with giving them to us.

[i_like_red]

Being honest? I don't really trust you or how you act like you have some kind of authority over things.

And I feel Fujiwara's stuff isn't something I should put into the hands of someone I don't know or trust.

[daeasterncourt]

Yet, we are the ones who know the ghost roads the best.

Not even the Foreign Queen knows the way to the Farthest Gate.

We may have issues with her, but those are matters to be resolved AFTER all parties aren't perishing on a sinking boat.

[danse_etoile]

::Whispering into her husband's ear.::

I'm not saying I trust them, nor to give them Fujiwara's journal pages. But I do get the sense they are being sincere on this at least. Call it a small hunch.

[i_like_red]

*Judai listens to what Asuka whispers to him, before nodding and taking a deep breath.*

Alright. Let's go over why you believe the world is dying again. Obviously, if there is a threat of that, I want to take it seriously, but I want to make sure you're not mistaken in anyway and/or see if there are other ways to deal with it.

[daeasterncourt]

It was hastily put back together when the dragon with jaws of venom, a dark reverse scale, heterochromatic eyes and clear wings, as well as the goddess with a body of flowers and wings of music danced under the moonlight to the spell of the wind, both tore the universes apart, but in the process there wasn't enough star stuff to make a proper world.

Imagine someone who got shot point blank with what you call a shotgun, but was lucky enough to not instantly die but is unable to receive medical care. It needs a transfusion of blood, but is only getting bandages.

[i_like_red]

Okay. Despite the... flowery language, I think I understand what you're getting at.

So you're saying when our currently reality was created, it was kinda patched together and needs to become more stable. Am I correct?

[daeasterncourt]

Yes. That strips the details, but is correct.

[i_like_red]

And stabilizing it is what you're mainly aiming to do here?
