You too, huh?

[ turbulent times... ]

[undread]

[nodding...]

I want to return so I can be sure no harm will come to anyone.

[mogger]

[ yuffie nods along with her, a bit exaggerated.... but she does look entirely serious ]

Were you fighting against something?

[undread]

[she nods.]

We got caught up in a conflict. A plot to change the world by destroying the gods. The people behind the plot are horrible, and somehow we've been swept up in all of it, even though I don't care much for the gods.

[mogger]

Destroying the gods, huh? I don't know how mere mortals are supposed to do that. Probably some power source that will let them level up or something....

You and your party members?

[ this isn't a jrpg, yuffie ]

[undread]

[it is d&d, though.]

...Yes. Our little band of adventurers. The Bell's Hells. Up against the forces who want to release a godeater imprisoned on the moon.

[mogger]

Bell's Hells? [ that's so cute ] I like that.

Okay, now you've lost me.... gods imprisoned on the moon? Who put them there?

[undread]

The godeater is the one imprisoned. And the gods put him there, so he wouldn't eat them.

[mogger]

Ohhh, okay! That makes sense.



[ does it ]

So does that mean you have to go to the moon too? Or is the plan to stop them before they even get there?

[undread]

I've been to the moon. I don't recommend it.

[mogger]

What's wrong with it?

[ she's not that invested in going to the moon bc she's not cid, but she is curious ]

[undread]

Everyone on it is rude and our friend died there.

[mogger]

Oh, that sucks.

I lost a friend on the team recently, too. It.... feeling helpless, it's the worst.

[undread]

[...yeah.]

It didn't need to happen. He didn't need to do that.

[mogger]

[ nodding ]

Some asshole was behind it?

[ relatable content ]

[undread]

...Well, yes. But I mean my friend. He chose to sacrifice himself, but he didn't have to.

[or maybe that's just denial.]

[mogger]

Oh.... I get it. What was happening?

[ yuffie just fucking nosy af ]

[undread]

We were in a fight that was going badly. He blew himself up and took her with him.

[mogger]

......

You.... you're right. He didn't have to do that.

[ does yuffie perhaps have some feelings about this? ]

[undread]

[oh...]

Struck a nerve?

[mogger]

I lost a friend to something like that, too.

Sorry, Laudna. It's really shitty.

[undread]

I'm sorry, too. I simply won't believe we were boxed in that badly. We would have found another way. It displays a lack of trust.

[or she's just generally angry because it made her feel sad and helpless, and she's reaching for reasons to blame him. one of those things.]

[mogger]

[ oh is this bad coping time?? projecting on the dead person?? yeah it is ]

He made the decision for you.... Like you couldn't handle things on your own.

[undread]

[see? she gets it. sometimes we just reinforce each other's toxic coping mechanisms.]

It's condescending.

[mogger]

I'm not a kid!

[ this is fine they're doing great?? ]

-- And you aren't either!
