[She can't do voice, can't let them hear how hoarse and pained she is. She has to just be clinical, factual. They deserve to know.]

You all deserve to know. I'm so sorry. Rin Okumura [She types his name and falters, staring at the screen for long minutes before finishing the sentence] is dead. This inky shadow shit... it did something to him.

I'm sorry.

[She isn't going to offer up details.]

damn

Sorry you had to deal with that.

[ Is it really Zaveid typing, he used punctuation-

So the daemonblight's started taking people, huh. ]

[wildcardpotential]

... Do you know about this blackness?

Private : text still

[shirtlesspersona]

not this one in particular

But something damn close.

Private : text

[wildcardpotential]

your phrasing implied that you did.

if it behaves at all similarly you should warn everyone what its capable of. I have never seen anything like that... Is there a way to stop it?

Sweetie
My form of daemonblight doesn't get you sick first
One minute it's an average human
Next minute there's a wolfman chewing on your face
[ And, well, it isn't actually a sickness at all, but humans and knowing things like that- ]

powers of purification, home, can get you a human again
Supposedly if you stick to cold logic and reason you won't catch it

Re: Private : text

[wildcardpotential]

[She's not in the mood to get pet names, sorry. You're not getting into good graces right now, bub.]

Still, that was important information you should have shared as soon as you had any idea this was a... demonblight. Whatever that is.

It always causes transformations? Perhaps its different here because of the Queen, or Ozuma.

What kinds of purification?

Re: Private : text

[shirtlesspersona]

sure sure
it's a key difference though
supposedly this one is an outside source
some blonde kid was talking about it

and yeah
sometimes it's subtle
sometimes the kid turns into a giant tree
or your neighbor a medusa

flames of purification
could get them by making a pact with one of the Lords
home
here
no clue
could probably ask for a bit of his power but who knows how spectacularly that will backfire

Be honest.

You had to




didn't you?

[It hurts to think, it hurts to type--the thought catches in her throat, she can't breathe, but this can't be something to hide from. It happened. He's gone.

So many people are gone now.]

Maka....

[she can't lie to you. She won't.]

I didn't... I don't... He was already dead and then... Something happened to his body and I thought I was gonna die too...

I'm sorry. I'm so soeeg I'm soryimsoreg....

[soundmind]

It's *okay* Mina

I


had to before


when the shadows came


it's okay

I understand

and I'm here for you

[wildcardpotential]

[She takes a deep breath, rubs most of the tears from her eyes.]

It isnt okay its the least okay but. I know what you mean, so thank you.

You... you fought Rin's shadow?

[That explains a lot, and why it was stopped in its rampage. She shivers to remember, touching her side.]

Youre a good friend I'm sorry I'm never this much of a mess but... I really am a mess. I hate this. Can you get to the roof?

[bluestreakspeedsby]

... That's the guy who showed me around when I first got here.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry you had to be involved in that.

[wildcardpotential]

He's a good kid, he's my best friend... I have to believe he'll come back...

[bluestreakspeedsby]

... Wattaya mean "come back"?

[Shadow came back from the dead, but... he'd never really died, had he? And Sonic's own brush with that had been erased from the timestream, anyhow...]

[wildcardpotential]

Ah, you must be newer here. Ozuma has enough power sometimes to.. regenerate us, if we die. It doesn't always work, but it's worked for me. And others.

[bluestreakspeedsby]

... That's.

Okay, I don't know what to say to that at all. What do you mean when you say it doesn't always work?

[wildcardpotential]

I'm sorry I'm not doing the best job of explaining this.

Have you seen the statues? Those are of people who came here, and didn't stay. Either they died and didn't regenerate, or they simply... left. Probably they went back to wherever they were when Ozuma brought them here.

[miseris_socios]

srryh

dont die

[He needs to get out of here. He isn't going to last much longer. He's been fighting against it for a few weeks now... he can't take it any longer.]

[wildcardpotential]

I'm sorry too. I'll do my best...

Pls be ok. Do u need anything? I would like to feel useful and good at something rn.

[wildcardpotential]

[She is starting to be very, very suspicious, and tears are forming again. She can't fight you on this, though, she's far too exhausted.

Goddamnit.]

[wildcardpotential]
