Why Lily?

[ nonchalantly, with zero hesitation ]

I owe them a debt.

Re: day 19 astral

[ u ever have a conversation where you're doing literally all the fucking work ]

For what?

Re: day 19 astral

[catposting]

[ yeah every conversation with Rose, thanks for asking ]

Multiple things. Depends on the Lily.

Anyway, the birds didn't put me in that state; I did that myself. Mental shielding isn't really my forte.

[ Thinks about Perci's mindscape.

But were you successful?

Re: day 19 astral

Seems like it. We shook hands, so to speak.

[ then she flooded him with a big black hole of despair! good thing he can simply override that memory with tranquility!! ]

I was pretty drained after, though. Hence the nap.

[ Thinks about the psychic hangover he himself has experienced.




Yeah Yas probably isn't even lying. ]

If you shook on it, that means you know what the terms were.

[ with extreme amusement: ]

"We cannot give you concrete terms, but we will be fair."

That's . . . it?

Re: day 19 astral

Yep.

They're gonna ask for something terrible.

Re: day 19 astral

[catposting]

They told me they'd never ask for something more difficult than I asked of them, and said that I could bargain down the difficulty.

[ . . . ]

Well, can't say they're not interesting.

Re: day 19 astral

[ ohhhhh my god ]

I've had it with these goddamn birds.

Re: day 19 astral

[ lmao ]

How's Perci?

Re: day 19 astral

[featherduster]

. . . The same, mostly. His mind's pretty torn up. If he's gonna pull himself out of it, it'll take time.

Re: day 19 astral

[catposting]

Mmmmmmm.

[ a thoughtful expression. ]

If anyone can do it, it's Perci.

Re: day 19 astral

[featherduster]

Yes. I agree.

He's pretty formidable, y'know?

Re: day 19 astral

[catposting]

[ a smile — genuine, no Enhance ]

He is.

Re: day 19 astral

[featherduster]

You guys seem close.

Are you?

Re: day 19 astral

[ ??? ]

He likes to cuddle cats.

Re: day 19 astral

[featherduster]

[ ??????? URSELF ]



You're not literally a cat.

Re: day 19 astral

[catposting]

He likes to cuddle cat people.

Re: day 19 astral

[featherduster]

Okay, fair enough.

I'm just surprised you let him.

Re: day 19 astral

[ ? ]

It's not like he's a bad cuddler. He's a lot better than me at it.
