Who: Everyone messed up by the dragon plot, and visitors
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Blue Fish's clinic!
When: All throughout the Solrius dragon plot and through the space flight to the next destination.

[So several RPG characters, a dragon, and two messianic figures walk into a planet.

Everything is suffering and tears, there's a lot of dead people, there's no punchline. But, hey, for the survivors, the Blue Fish's clinic is treating wounds and generally being a decent place to rest and recover and pray you don't see a dragon again. And for those who weren't involved, there's enough people bedridden here that there may just be someone you want to visit.]

I'll try not to.

I don't think you have to worry about it though. I don't think we're going to do a whole lot of talking.

[NO THIS IS SAD THINGS STOP THINKING SAD THINGS]

I thought you two knew each other...? You sent me that text when she first got here, after all.

[surely that is the problem???]

That's really not the issue here, Nightingale. The last time she saw me, I was- well, you remember.

... She's seen me do some horrible shit, too. I think... Some of it might even be worse than what you did.

If you don't want to, I won't say anything more, but I think she'll understand if I talk to her.

I appreciate it, but don't force it on my behalf. If she really does want to talk about it, I'm sure she'll approach me. I won't be avoiding her or anything.

She's my girlfriend, I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to meddle at least a little.

[Shifts again. Rubs his arm.] I can't exactly tell you what to talk to your own girlfriend about, so...

Damn right.

[... why is she smug about this.]

[It's good that she's smug. Means she has something to be proud of.

Sorey laces his fingers together between his knees.] Anyway. The reason why I can't see malevolence now is because Lailah had to break the Shepherd's pact. I'm not a Shepherd anymore.

[... She has to think very carefully about that.]

... Is... Is that good or bad?

[sorry you're so high rn buddy]

It saved them, so it's good. We'll need to figure something out to make sure they don't fall to corruption, but there's plenty of time for that. They'll be okay.

[tbh even if she wasn't high she wouldn't know]

... If there's any way at all I can help, tell me? I'll do anything you need.

Thanks, I'll let you know. Lailah and Zaveid, they've both lived hundreds of years with malevolence so I'm sure they'll be fine, but. I'm worried about Dezel.

That's the one Sora said might skin him?

Wh-

Did Sora say that? [did DEZEL say that] Dezel would never.

Skin him alive, he said.

How worried should I be?

Not worried in the slightest. Dezel would never lay a hand on Sora, ever. Sora was probably exaggerating.

Okay, I'll hold you to that and talk to him. But if I get skinned alive, tell Sora he was right.

[this is a great time for morbid humor, right]

...probably mention Sora first. Not that you have to worry about violence, but he'll be more receptive. He can be a little... [dezel-y]

If I ever figure out who he is, sure.

Oh. He's, uh. [Cranes his neck and points.] Right over there. That's him. [The guy with the green mop on his head, flicking wind every which way.]

... Huh. Okay.

[... i wanna see if i can out-wind him]

What was that pause for? [nightingale] Please be nice. You've both had a very rough time.

[she's good people, sorey]

I'll be perfectly nice, really.

[other than fucking with the wind.]

Well- alright. [Leans back in his chair.] ...do you need anything? I guess Opal is probably taking care of most of your needs.
