[Pie from his boyfriend Luke... It's not an OT3 because it's an OT4, I SEE.]
It wasn't super unexpected, at least, even if it was still very unpleasant... [Yall really CAME BACK SO SHREDDED? Dahut just here man_standing because he truly got off the hook with just a single shot through his chest.]
...I'm glad that you're feeling better, too. Unfortunately, death is pragmatic sometimes. It looks like you guys really went through something that chewed you up and spat you back out, though.
[YEAH HE DIED AND SPARED EVERYONE FROM HAVING TO EUTHANIZE HIM ON MINGLE.]
Throne? It did? [This is the first time he's hearing that CYOAs have to do with certain people sometimes because he has no idea and no way of figuring out that he too went on an octopath adventure.]
How strange... I wonder what that means. This is the second time we've had an event where parties from both their side and ours were thrown into a mess together, too, so I wonder if that's also going to be a trend.
[AAAAAAAAAAA oh the joys of being Known on a cyoa. Dahut sticks a leggy out, swiveling it from side to side on the heel.]
I'd been wondering about that, myself... There's no point in diving too deep into speculation without more solid evidence, but dreams and hallucinogenics do seem to be a recurring theme.
[THE JIVING LEGGY HELPS HIM THINK. He reaches over to pet Viktor's hair back down.]
If we're really data being stored somewhere on the ship, there definitely should be! But I agree; I don't think we can do it ourselves... We'd have to restore our bodies to actual livable states first, too.
[Their fucking MURDER AND EXECUTION INJURIES. HE'S IN FIVE PIECES AND HIS HEART'S STILL TUCKED INTO HIS BLANKET LIKE A LITTLE TEDDY BEAR.]
—Setting aside our wild theorizing for a moment, how are you holding up? I know these adventures can be a lot...
[Thanks. Even if this does absolutely nothing because it's way too fluffy, especially now that it is even longer than it had been. It is just a bird's nest.]
Ah... I'm... alright. Trying to stay busy helps. It's hard to... just... put it out of your mind, everything. But it'll be okay after a while.
[NOT THE WILD AND FREE FLUFF. (mdzs voice) the untamed]
...Yeah, it's pretty hard. I don't think that dwelling on it for a little bit of time is a bad thing, really, but I understand wanting to tuck it away as soon as you can. Let me know if I can do anything to help, okay?
I'm not sure... about yours, but... yes, I guess so. It was a different life, and then... a forest making you think the worst of yourself, of others. A monster taking the shape of others...
Mine was more straightforward, mm. But I think Monsieur Gregor and Monsieur Arthur were living other lives, too... [A little more somberly:] Eunhyuk told me that he killed Monsieur Shu thinking that he was becoming a monster, too.
[YEAH, WHY?? STOP, DON'T ASK FOR THE FRIENDLY FIRE MISSION.]
The forest... There was... a voice? A voice only I could hear maybe, I don't know. It kept telling me Lucien was going to kill me, get rid of me. So... I... attacked him.
Oh... That sounds horrible! [NOT THE FRIENDLY FIRE. STOP BREAKING EACH OTHER'S ARMS AND DOIN THE ZAPPY.] What happened after you were transported? Did it end...?

THE PIE IS FROM LUKE GET OUTTA HERE!!! 🧍♂️ He will take the tea, holding it between his hands. That he now has again.]
I'm alright. I feel a lot better, thankfully. It was the right choice. Sorry for scaring you all.

Yes.
[YOU SHUT UP YOU DIED IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMING BACK IN!!!!!]
It had something to do with... Throne, I think?
[He reaches up to touch his neck even if the collar isn't there anymore.]
The living were there, too... Like yours.

no subject
Mm.
[Sometimes, you know just enough about a girl's atrocities you can pick them out in the adventure. He sips some of the tea.]
It does look as if... it'll be reoccurring... [Thoughtful.] If we can be pulled... into one with the others... Does that mean it's... a dream?
no subject

There must be a way to return our consciousnesses to our bodies in the pods... But I'm not sure if it's something we could do on this side.

Thank you... It was... the oddest test of mettle I think I could have never imagined.
no subject
It sounds like you guys had a way more involved adventure than we did...
no subject
He smiles wryly.]

no subject
What is it with living other fucking lives. Get outta here. He can barely live his own life as it is. His expression softens.]
Yes... Lucien and I... fought a monster that took the shape of someone I knew. And then we attacked each other, too.
no subject
This is so sad though why did yall get the friendly fire mission HE'S JUST SITTING HERE LIKE THIS IS NOTHING LIKE OURS WHERE WE HELPED EACH OTHER.]
I see... Did you each think the other person was someone different? Or did you attack for a different reason...?
no subject
The forest... There was... a voice? A voice only I could hear maybe, I don't know. It kept telling me Lucien was going to kill me, get rid of me. So... I... attacked him.
no subject
Mm... So it was another form of "you lose yourself to an unknown force that provokes a violence in you", then?
no subject
It was something like that, yes. He broke my arm, and I electrocuted him because I was... a mage of some kind?
But then there was a torch, and we were transported somewhere else.
