Thanks.

[ reaches out, then hesitates. bites lip ]

I'll share the whole thing for accuracy's sake. But just so you know, "unpleasant" is kind of an understatement for how I felt back there. Not just because of the bite. It's why I didn't want to talk earlier. I know you can handle it, I just — sorry.

[ believe it or not he doesn't want to inflict his murderous rage on you, ugh ]

[ evenly ]

Well, here goes.

[ takes Minuet's hand, channeling the memory.

notably, in no particular order:

- Zenith and Angel Devil are both massive trashtalkers. it was quite amusing at the start.
- he was incredibly reluctant to fry Teleute with his aura. activating it would have made fighting a lot easier.
- taking the time to warn her about it was ultimately what cost them Angel Devil. he needed the power boost to hold Wolf Devil down with flow control, but the wolf was fast enough to run out of effective range because he gave Teleute time to leave
- mist beasts are fucking suicidal. their situation doesn't seem to be their fault, but he's rather indignant at being told to die with them. he'll die on his own terms, thanks
- rping as a Bluebell is the opposite of effective and he's mad at himself for trying
- getting your tail bitten as an animal fucking hurts. it's not the worst wound he's suffered, not even close, but it's like stepping on an upturned plug
- maybe don't cast darkness spells on shadows. he's not upset with Angel Devil for this, more baffled, though he does think there must have been some logic to it because he knows that Angel Devil is not stupid
- generally upset with himself for leaving the stragglers in the first place
- upset with himself for allowing himself to get bitten by Angel Devil. he should have just used flow control to yank Angie along. (he was reluctant to startle Angie further knowing that he was in danger of wolfing out. SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID FUCK IT)
- some near-murderous rage toward Blossom at the end, possibly misdirected. this is the part he really didn't want to inflict on Minuet because feeling like that is Not Fun. abandoning a teammate sucks, actually
- he's not a bad shot, even without flow control. with flow control, he's near perfect because cheating is great
- flow control can absolutely be mistaken for telekinesis but he does actively think of it as flow control and not "magic". he does not classify any of his abilities as magic despite calling them magic out loud for simplicity's sake

anyway the memory ends with Blood Fiend at around 7 out of 10 on the wanting to go apeshit scale SORRY MINUET. Minuet will get a strong apologetic beam, tinged with no small amount of embarrassment, in his direction as soon as the memory ends. Blood Fiend breaks the connection immediately after ]

[ shut up ]

Shadow Fiend and Charon both have ideas.

...

He can have the memory. Show it to anyone else and I'll kill you.

Just checking.

Our best bet for now is to lure him out. Shadow Fiend wants to use Rose as bait, but Rose isn't that combat-heavy.

Know any strong barrier users? I think we should try to lure him back to the edge of the pasture and cure him there, while someone erects a barrier around us if possible.

Mm, yeah. Charon already suggested Lethe.

I can use much more power here. You saw why I didn't want to in the mist.

The only person I know that can withstand it is Angel Devil.

[personal profile] catposting 2023-08-18 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yep.

If it's back here... as much as I want to keep the golem form hidden, I want to get bitten even less. So I might have to use it if I need to get close.

... If you're up for it. Don't prioritize that if something more urgent comes up.

You know I spent my first week here telling people I was a harmless pet cat, right? It was fun.

I know.

Do as much as you want to help, but if people still see — it's fine. This is my mess.
