Did you already take off? I beat it back to Omghan a few hours ago.

It's too fuckin' quiet over here, though.

[E-mail: Valentine]

You aren't dead, are you, Val?

[Oh, Glasses... hm. She actually kinda misses him. Hope he didn't die!]

[E-mail: Siegmund]

You still alive out there, Glasses? I didn't get a chance to find you in the camp. I'll be real fucking cross with you if you're dead.

Only briefly. I will probably return Bastan until the Undertow is restored.

Quiet doesn't sound bad after all of this.

[a_wrong_turn]

I dunno if I'll go back around Bastan. Just since... you know. Walking abomination against man and god, all that shit.

The guy I was living with got sucked into Earth. So the house is kinda quiet, least til the other girl staying with him gets back.

[...wait]

...uh, that living arrangement is totally not how it sounds.

[pulledunder]

It's safer for you to keep your distance.

[she says that so casually!]

I see. I'm sorry. I sometimes forget the merge can cause that. You're all right on your own?

[...?]

How does it sound?

[a_wrong_turn]

Yeah. Iravati's here, too. It'd just be nice if he's back.

[Damn it Victor, why do you ask these things--oh, wait, because it's fun to mess with him. Even if she likes him okay.]

Uh, don't sweat it. I thought you might think it was some kind of weird deviant thing.

[pulledunder]

Maybe with this war over, there can start being more focus on that problem. That sounds like mage work, though.

[deviant...? ... ah.]

Multiple partnerships aren't for me, but I wouldn't classify it as deviance.

[a_wrong_turn]

Yeah. Maybe the mages will get on it.

[But would they actually try to help Nova? She doubts it. He's just one guy.]

I knew a guy who did one of those. I couldn't, I'd get too jealous. I'd probably end up getting stabby over it.

[pulledunder]

Hopefully. Too many people must be separated by this.

[but with the war, maybe that wasn't always bad...]

I thought about it once.
It wouldn't have worked. I would have come to resent it.
[little sobering to realize now.]

[a_wrong_turn]

Yeah. I dunno, though... it's weird. I wouldn't have met Nova in the first place if I didn't come here. Except coming here meant I was separated from my folks.

It's liked some sort of exchange, I guess. It has upsides. Except then other people get sucked out.

So to sum up: meh, I should just get drunk.

[pulledunder]

There's nothing we can do about it right now. Better to look to the good sides if we can.

Good luck with that, but don't overdo it.

[arentweglad]

[she doesn't reply til late evening.]

nope

guessin u arnt either

[a_wrong_turn]

Alive and kicking.

You didn't get fucked over by being on the wrong side?

[arentweglad]

wernt on the wrong side

aerveas was

[guess who's bad at telling people what's up]

[a_wrong_turn]

Weren't you on Aerveas's side?

[arentweglad]

nah
well sorta
didn want him 2 win so i saved the mazda from a trap an fought wit her guys after

[a_wrong_turn]

Huh. Cool.

[A person of deep convictions and thoughts, Chisaki Andrews is not.]

Glad it worked out for you.

[arentweglad]

not entirly
fucker stole my powers cuz i acted against him
now i gotta wait fora new vohu to get em back

[a_wrong_turn]

That sucks. They'll probably get one soon. I mean, I assume. Seems like an important position you can't just not fill and shit, yeah?

I gotta get a new guild, this hunter thing sucks.

[bloodonthestones]

That would be terrible.

Good thing I'm alive so you don't need to be angry.

[a_wrong_turn]

I know, right?

How've you been? I was gonna try to find you in the camp, but things were pretty crazy. I spent most of my time working with a paladin named Bristol.

[bloodonthestones]

I have been in a war. [ie, how do you think?]

Victor Bristol? A small world.

[a_wrong_turn]

Funny thing, me too.

Huh. You know him? Had no idea. How'd you meet?

[bloodonthestones]

I played a cleric. Victor came to him for healing and advice and more healing if he didn't listen to the advice.

Also I led him out of the Undertow to Giza after the Armaiti came to us. [that's safe to talk about now, right? and chisaki's a hunter so she should know anyway? but he never saw her at the ziggurat, er...]

[a_wrong_turn]

That'd do it. Guess it makes sense he'd want to avoid the Armaiti...

Sorry I never took you up on that offer. I got... sidelined by a lot of personal bullshit before I could join back up.

[bloodonthestones]

Paladins and assassins don't like each other much. [un der state ment] Surrounded by assassins, someone would kill him.

[ugh. just saying that makes him feel awful, too. he picked this guild WHY, again?]

It's fine. It doesn't matter now.

[a_wrong_turn]

Yeah...

What are you gonna do, now that the war's over?
