[ It looks like Narja is in a cute regular sleeveless dress (of the generic variety) when she's seen going after Elysion, her flying wyrm. But then they end up in proximity with LF and fall through a trapdoor in which they can see a memory play out.

She tries to shield his eyes. Elysion's? No. He doesn't have eyes. ]

[stillsea]

[ oh this feels. insanely personal and something he should not have seen at all. but since he did, he regards the screen thoughtfully. ]

So what happened before, with Michiru... it was instinct? Not something like possession?

[famem]

[ ... ]

Was I supposed to be possessed?

[ feels bad, man ]

[stillsea]

I wouldn't say that. That's why people murdered in our season, but that doesn't make it law for this one.

...I don't understand a lot of what happened in your memory, but from my understanding, you're not so different from demons.

[famem]

[ Demons are bad, apparently. So she tenses up a little.

... Elysion, her wyrm, stares at him disapprovingly. You called her a what?? ]

[stillsea]

[ im so curious how it stares at him without eyes

but he sees them tense and raises his hands. peace, please. ]

I don't mean anything by it. I'm a demon, you know. Stolas, too. Though I don't think either of us have the same problem as you, I've heard of demons who eat their kills. That doesn't mean they're all bad.

[famem]

[ It's the vibes and how the mouth faces you, but mostly vibes. Elysion calms down upon seeing the gesture. Narja tries to think about what he means. Is that good? Is it bad? ]

... I was getting used to the kindness that everyone showed me, but I was scared about making them hate me, or fear me. I didn't... want that. Elysion and I share many things. He's like my other half. People were violent with him too, so to see it through that perspective made it feel like I was the one being beaten by the same people who were kind to me. I just... thought that it'll just have to be this way from now on, because of who I am.

[stillsea]

[ he's quiet for a long moment. ]

I think that I can understand, in a way. Being what you are, who you are... Some people will be biased, and that's unavoidable. Sometimes it even comes from people you've come to trust.

I wish it were different.

[famem]

[ Narja nods. ]

Did you have a personal experience about that too?

[ holds hand out for mem ]

w4 tuesday

[stillsea]

[ my brain is so smooth today so he is watching the living and simply emanating confusion. ]

Is this some kind of curse?

[famem]

[ that's fair ]

... I think so.

[ She watches Bucky. ]

I feel bad about sending that fanmail to Bucky... I hope it actually does increase ratings though.

[stillsea]

[ ??? ]

What're you talking about? The mail doesn't curse people. What did you even send him?

[famem]

I was trying to pretend that I was a fan... and I wrote that the fan would like to see another segment of Bucky punching a twink.

[ flashbacks to the rui incident ]

[stillsea]

[ hm. ]

What... is a twink, exactly?

[famem]

A twink is a slang for young men with a slim physique.

[ That's all she got. ]

It was the best word that I could use to describe Rui, who he beat up when I was still in the show. I thought the audience would like that sort of thing.

[stillsea]

Ah... okay. I didn't know there was a word for it.

Do you think fans will really like things like this? I know they have weird taste, but...?

[famem]

I was told that there is a market for anything.

[ Watches Bucky chase down the L'Orange twinks... did you know there's only Akane and Stelle as women and the rest are men in there. Not counting Laugh/Homa. And we have so many muscle twinks. ]

... And now I think I sabotaged my own team...

[ noooo... ]

w6 thursday

[stillsea]

[ belatedly realized this morning that i missed your pc AND THEN YOU COME BACK FROM CYOA. SHAKES YOU.

leng feng camped out by the revival antenna, waiting for her and elysion to reappear. he doesn't approach immediately. she'd be justified if she were angry and didn't want him close. ]

Lady Narja...

[famem]

[ She appears with Elysion and is still in pants. Wow. Pants are the devil. She will never wear these again. ]

... Hello.

[ She can speak now. Elysion also shakes as if he's just waking up from slumber. ]

[stillsea]

...Hello. [ watches them both for any lingering signs of problems. ] Are you... feeling alright now?

[ he has a bottle of water for the fishy taste, if she wants it. ]

[famem]

[ Narja sits up and hugs Elysion close. ]

I'm not feeling good because... I couldn't protect them.

[stillsea]

...If it's any consolation, the others look like they got back to their teams safely. They're being taken care of now.

[ also idk if she respawns with her foam swords or if they stayed with her body... if they stayed then he'll have brought those, too. ]

[famem]

—They did?!

[ She just springs to life but then just... plops back down and takes his earlier offer of the water bottle. Man.

She also wants those foam swords back too. ]

They're... alive? And not dead? And Silas? Pure Vanilla Cookie?

[stillsea]

They came back in pretty bad shape, but they'll live.

...Silas and Pure Vanilla Cookie were already there to receive them. They're not injured at all.

[famem]

But his headphones... and Pure Vanilla Cookie's note...

[ Her voice trails off. ]

What about Aaron? Sandrone? Rawiyah? Mizi...?
