text....while she's standing right in front of him....

[warpweft]

Say ".....Not from a Jedi." in a sister tone of voice.

Re: text....while she's standing right in front of him....

[plotrevised]

And what exactly is a "sister tone of voice"?

Re: text....while she's standing right in front of him....

[warpweft]

You know, vague and foreboding, like you're the villain and the audience knows it but the person you're talking to doesn't yet.

Re: text....while she's standing right in front of him....

Oh SINISTER. that makes way more sense.

Day 42 text(s) 1/many I am so sorry

[flameboundcompass]

[ Remember when you said he doesn't need to resist the urge to send pictures. remember that kim dokja. He's getting Many Texts now ]

Just woke up from an unexpected nap. Truly refreshing! By the way, did you have a good night's sleep? Good stories must be properly nurtured in order to shine brightly. Make sure to rest and eat well!

[ Attached is a selfie of Brant smiling and giving a thumbs up to the camera ]

[ A LITTLE LATER ]

Look at the sky! I saw this cloud, and it reminded me of you! Beautiful, isn't it?

[ attached is a picture of the sky - the only cloud up there could very vaguely look cat shaped if you have a lot of imagination. He helpfully added a sticker of a cat ]

Re: Day 42 text(s) 1/many I am so sorry

[flameboundcompass]

[ and then again... ]

Master, did you manage to get that Terminal to Lyle as well? We should make a group chat and send each other pictures! I've found a beautiful rock while walking today.

[ and attached is, of course, another selfie with brant holding up a perfectly round shaped rock ]

Re: Day 42 text(s) 1/many I am so sorry

[flameboundcompass]

[ the next selfie is just him under what looks like an improvised spotlight ]

The sun's shining brightly today and it's inviting me to perform! I'll craft a truly exciting monologue for when we next meet!

Re: Day 42 text(s) 1/many I am so sorry

[flameboundcompass]

[ This selfie, instead, is a close up of the earrings Kim Dokja got for him ]

I haven't thanked you properly for these yet, have I? A symbol of commitment, a truly beautiful gift chosen by my master for me! I do like how they look on me.

Next time I should be the one to gift you something. But what do you like? You should tell me!

Re: Day 32 text(s) LAST THEY WERE ALL 32 NOT 42

[flameboundcompass]

[ assume he's going to get 5 more selfies during the day but this is going to be the LAST one and it's him at the library ]

This library here truly feels endless! I wonder what sort of stories you'd like to share with me?

Re: Day 32 text(s) LAST THEY WERE ALL 32 NOT 42

[plotrevised]

[... this is both very endearing and cute but also very Why This...]

For the record... if you want to send this all in one batch in the future, I would not mind that? I won't always been available to look at things and response so quickly...

Re: Day 32 text(s) LAST THEY WERE ALL 32 NOT 42

[flameboundcompass]

If I send them all in one batch, then I won't be able to share what I was feeling at the moment I took the picture! That's the whole point of it, isn't it?

Re: Day 32 text(s) LAST THEY WERE ALL 32 NOT 42

[plotrevised]

Just write it down in an on-going notepad on your phone? and then send it all at once?

Day 38

[seedsofblasphemy]

[ When Kim Dokja either goes in or OUT of his apartment, he will be greeted by what looks like a hologram, but is really just a piece of Anaxa's soul leaving a message for him ]

I wish to talk to you. If you are amenable to that, then meet me at the library. If you do not show up, then at least I will have done something productive with my time.

Re: Day 38

[plotrevised]

[..................... was not expecting to be jumpscared by the consequences of his own actions like this.







pokes at the hologram.]

Is this a one-way sort of communication?

[SIMPLY IGNORE ALL THE INCOMING AWKWARD.]

Re: Day 38

[seedsofblasphemy]

[ the hologram is not solid, and the part he tries to touch will glitch as he does that ]

This is simply a recorded message. Through the power of alchemy, I have used part of my soul and turned into gold. In other words, every time I “speak”, an equivalent part of my soul is being consumed.

Do not make me wait too long. And now, the objective is complete.

[ with that, the hologram simply disappears ]

Re: Day 38

[plotrevised]

[...........

on the one hand, he wants to be contrary and not go just because of that last part.

on the other hand, THIS COMPLICATED FEELING OF UPSET ABOUT HEARING ABOUT SOUL CONSUMPTION JUST NOW????





so yeah, he's going to the library but he doesn't look very happy.]

Day 50

[madidus]

[This is a text I won't bother formatting]

Not being alone and lonely are you?

Re: Day 50

[plotrevised]

[i will only bother formatting because i'm neurotic but we gucci]

? if you're texting, i'd assume you're the one alone and lonely?

Re: Day 50

[madidus]

[Hmmm well he can play it this way too.]

Aww, you worried about me?

Re: Day 50

[plotrevised]

You are texting me. Is everything alright?

day 48, some time after the argument

[rainshaveceased]

The familiar acted the way she did because she was overcome with existential despair and deemed that it was better for all life to end than to endure the suffering of existence. Hermes accepted and supported her decision, and took action to make sure she could not be stopped in time.
I cannot tell you what Hermes was thinking, but it is possible he believed his troubles would not be taken seriously. This troubling possibility is something I have been considering quite often of late, as no citizen of Amaurot should have to feel they cannot speak up about their views.
As I told you, Hermes was not moved from his post as a solution to his problems. Had anyone been aware how much he was suffering, he would have been offered therapy at the very least. I understand that is not sufficient in your opinion, but altering systems based on the preferences of a single individual is not how government is typically run. Had Hermes been outspoken about his beliefs, or had others come forth to say they shared them, that would have been another thing.

I would ask you not to make further assumptions about what thoughts I have or have not entertained, but perhaps that would be too much of a challenge.

Re: day 48, some time after the argument

[plotrevised]

[well.

... when you have Thoughts about Why Hermes Might Have Gone Along With It and it involves knowing that his concerns about whether or not "the familiar" would be seen as an individual entity with her own conscious and pain due to lack of a soul, BUT... you, for once, do recognize there's no point in pointing that out.

there is a bunch of start and stop of typing though before a message is sent:]

Thank you for answering those questions. It does clarify some things.

And I will apologize for my assumptions. I know I am a difficult personality to deal with, so I don't blame you for being angry.

Re: day 48, some time after the argument

[rainshaveceased]

I am considering going to the theater to have our bond removed.

Re: day 48, some time after the argument

[plotrevised]

[gonna be a long moment of just staring at his phone...]

Is there anything that would convince you reconsider that? If you're already decided, I won't stop you. I won't keep anyone who doesn't want to be kept.
