[ With the regression of the city, working at Sunset Theater has quickly become less enjoyable than it used to be. Though the cast remembers the rapport McGillis had built with them, even if they're more standoffish now. And it's not as though McGillis had placed much stock in his interpersonal relationships to the random citizens, but... the shift in atmosphere serves as a tangible reminder. That this is temporary. That this world is susceptible to insane levels of mind manipulation. That he wants to leave.

Leave and... do what? That's the question that has haunted McGillis for weeks now, and the countdown is mercilessly continuing. Soon Braphine will release them from her hold, one way or another. Soon, he'll have to know. And so will everyone else. ]

Just a little over two weeks until we're free from this, if Braphine really keeps her word and the God of Conflict doesn't swallow up all her power. Until then we'll doubtlessly face a number of additional challenges and hassles, but while we're still in the quiet before the storm...

Are you going home to your own worlds after this? Or will you take Braphine up on her offer and come along with one of your 'bonds'? What is your world like? What is making you return? What is making you abandon it?

And if you're like me and cannot return to where you came from no matter what, maybe the answers can give you some perspective.

christ on a goddamn cracker
he really is super serious about you huh

[ Fully armed! And ready to stab! It's clearly true love. ]

yeah i know a bit about his world
everything got wiped out and they just got that one outpost left
definitely make them get a historian on staff
i asked how they made sure all the different spirits were happy
and they didnt have no one who knew about like
specific historical shit
that feels kind of important???//

[vogelfrei]

He better be serious about me, yes.

[ Both because he doesn't want to regret choosing Izou's world and also because McGillis is in fact all in on this relationship now. He'd still claim they're not in love, but the veil of deniability is growing thinner.... ]

While I'd say that most of not all of the spirits can advocate for themselves and their own needs, I understand your concern and I'll certainly be prioritizing research.

As much as every detail Izou has ever given me has caused me a massive headache, I do look forward to conversing with people about their own times.

if i knew a lot about history id probably be excited to talk to them
so i guess you are
since ur a nerd lol

[vogelfrei]

I think being a career soldier usually offsets the 'nerd' thing a little.

[fullmoonmutt]

maybe
i guess all the guys in the squad were their own kind of nerd too

[vogelfrei]

Your definition of nerd might just be rather broad.

'Were'?

[fullmoonmutt]
