[ Angel Devil. ] [ chatcube, or action. ] [ if you're visiting the rose barn, look for the door with the creepy bat-and-angel-wing sigil on it. Knock first! Or get zapped. ]
But Charon also mentioned he has some flowers that, when carried, will allow us to use our flock powers in the mist. And apparently Levi has a couple, too.
Which means, you could carry me there in your head.
I don't trust that I'll be physically up to the journey, otherwise. I've already spoken to Charon about the possibility of you two going together, so he can handle the negotiation and you can handle the firepower.
As annoying as it is to me, personally, I still think you're one of the strongest and most capable people in this place. I think you and him together would have the best shot at pulling this off successfully.
And by contrast, you're quite good at the diplomatics. My talent in getting people to do what I want is... more in baiting them, with the undeniable temptation of what I can offer. I despise beseeching.
...
[ and it would be practice. One more way of knowing how to anticipate, how to react, if someone dug their fingers in when he DIDN'T agree. ]
...if you don't give me a reason to refuse between now and then... fine.
I'd like to prioritize the body stuff first, because I'd like to have some kind of backup in place in case things with Ceo go completely sideways. Also, I feel like shit.
[ a little faltering pause. long breath out. its not that he's shy. it's just that starting to speak the words made him dizzy with how much he wants to, and this form is prone to yearnings that are so much stronger than is natural to him. ]
I want to hunt something with you. We need the meat, anyway. That should get us something.
So, tell me: how would you like to do this? When I go hunting, I generally cheat by using magic to make it as easy as possible, but I suspect that defeats the purpose in this instance.
What's the shape of this adventure, in your heart of hearts?
[ oh now his back-and-forth is, just, like, excited pacing. pre-walkies anticipation. ]
I want to eat a puppet's face. That ugly thing it uses to wrest control of you! Pull it out of the wood like shucking an oyster from the shell! And I think I know where to find one. There's this mammoth pygmydillo that has to weigh at least a ton I keep seeing from the air, lately... it's not staying in their usual range. It moves strangely, and it goes to rest in a thicket, rather than a burrow!
I bet you a puppet's taken mastery of it. It'll fight like a bastard, not a boar.

[She trots off after him, but almost immediately realizes what bullshit it is that he's so much bigger than she is in this form, too, and that his stupid long legs give him a faster gait that she has to work to keep up with.]
[By the next time he looks back at her, she's upshifted into her new black and gold be-wingéd body. Which is bigger, but STILL not as big as he is. The fuck.]
he meant to do that. it's not a slip in decorum if he can make it look 100% intentional. IT'S FINE. IT'S...
it's genuinely fine. he thought this would be fun and it turns out it is, even if they're still just loping over dewy grass, angling southwest. They should be reaching the river soon... ]
[We are just two happy little monsters roaming around in the dead of night with murder in our hearts. What's there to judge about taking a minute to enjoy life while you've got it?]
[She hops easily over the river. She's not exactly sure where they're going, but she's snuffling around for interesting pyg smells. Hmm hmm interesting! A bird preened itself here recently. She likes that. What is it about feathers that makes them so intoxicating?]

[...The thought of asking everyone to help with her body-growing tub is strangely embarrassing, though.]

Oh...! That would be fun, actually.
When?
no subject
How are you feeling tonight? Not all that frisky?
no subject
I'm feeling pretty okay right now, actually.
I had a good sleep, and a long soak in the hot spring [hence why it took so long to find his note on the fridge]. I could go now.
[The sooner the better, honestly. She's feeling more shitty every day.]

The lakeside. I like looking at the moons on the water... almost hypnotic, if you gaze long enough.
