Caeli: ...no, but I’m just trying to keep things on the lighter side, I guess.

[ oh

he's actually upset ]

Valour 5: Games are always going to get shittier and shittier
Valour 5: Sometimes you're the one who got fucked up and that's easy to deal with
Valour 5: And sometimes it's people you care about and you can do nothing but watch and be there
Valour 5: What did they do to you?

Caeli: And sometimes it’s both. Caeli: ... Caeli: I- I’m fine. Caeli: And I thought you didn’t care...

Valour 5: I'm asking so just say it already

Caeli: My upper arm is just fused to my torso. It’s not that bad. I’m fine.

[ it’s not fine and that’s definitely not all that’s wrong. ]

Valour 5: Oh, so you are as stupid as I initially thought
Valour 5: You realize that sounds the furthest thing from fine

Caeli: I can deal with something like this, so it IS fine. I didn’t die. I didn’t get dumped into the game tower like a rag doll full of cement, wooden spikes, and covered in an assortment of colored crystals, because of some shitty popularity contest. And don’t call me stupid when you keep acting like you don’t care about me, but push to see how I’m feeling. I’m just pissed off.

[ there is nothing worse than feeling weak and helpless... ]

Valour 5: So which one was it?
Valour 5: Who died like that?

Caeli: Heart Soldier. Caeli: Are you going to drop by? You can pretend not to care in person and I’m sure your brother would like to see you too...

Valour 5: I'm just about the last person my brother needs to talk to right now
Valour 5: But if he wants to see me I'll see him.
Valour 5: With any luck your condition is temporary but if after 3 days it's still like that, get someone to cut you open and heal you.

Caeli: And if I said I wanted to see you?

Valour 5: I still don't think it's a good idea for me to be there unless Luther says so explicitly
Valour 5: But you can come to taisho

Caeli: I am feeling similarly to your brother... all of Wild City is. Most of us are bound to another person and leaving them is... not really an option. I’ve already dragged him all over and he should probably rest, so I don’t think going anywhere is really a good idea.

Valour 5: My fiancé is under a similar condition so I'm aware of how it works
Valour 5: But I still think it's best I don't get there unless invited
Valour 5: You can call me if you'd like.

[ a few minutes pass and then... ring ring. ]

[ he actually answers immediately ]

Well?

...so you guys not really get along all that well or something? Is that the reason you're hesitating? [ he sounds like he just ran a mile or something. breathing ragged and uneven. ]

Thought you called to talk about yourself, not about my family.

[ grumbles. ] But I want you to make me some soup this time around. I think I deserve it. [ he's purposely being extra whiny. ]

But what is there to talk about? How shit I feel, ..? I haven't been able to rip my arm off my side and it's been doing nothing but causing me severe pain since I got back. [ grunts, legs trembling as he sinks down against a wall in the hall on his way back to his room. ]

You said it's fused to your side, I doubt ripping it off is going to be something you can do on your own.

You need someone to numb the pain, someone to cut you open, and someone to heal it. This isn't something you can do on your own Mora.

You already sound fatigued just by — whatever it is you're doing right now.

... [ he's not interested in letting someone else look at him and start cutting him apart. but he can't answer right now, because he's seeing things he shouldn't. the abyss... he hates that it's coming back to haunt him. he made it out and IT NEEDS TO STOP. he huffs, smushing his palm straight into his face. ] I'm just heading to my room. I think I need to... lay down...

[ He doesn't want to go to wild city but now he's getting worried. Why can't he actually not give a shit when he says he doesn't give a shit ]

Is there a reason you don't want to do what's logically the obvious smart thing to do here and get yourself looked by someone who can help?

You were quiet for a while there.

I don't want to have to rely on another unit and you said this shouldn't last more than a couple of days, right, so... [ and it's a matter of pride. stupid stupid stupid pride. ] I'm seeing things I shouldn't be capable of seeing. It must be another effect of the game. [ shuts his eyes. ] ...this is infinitely worse than the physical pain. It's interfering with everything. I can't think straight.

[ oh so it's that sort of status effect ]

I said so but if you're in severe pain waiting it out is ridiculous. Though I understand not wanting to rely on other Units. The less favor you owe the better.

Can you turn into an animal that doesn't have, well. Limbs that would be fused to your chest?

As for your condition. I experience something similar more or less regularly and Alexander had to deal with it recently as well. Is there something that triggers those vision in particular? A smell, a sound, things like that.

...exactly. [ huffs, and then starts heaving a moment later as he swears he sees one the enormous abyssmal beasts that had threatened to kill him when he had thought himself lost. his heart starts hammering in his chest and for a moment it's all he can hear. something like that won't kill him. he's strong now, and still getting stronger. ] ...h- hah, and this isn't exactly something I may not be capable of fixing on my own. It's not like I'm full of cement.

...

I could try it. [ he's going to turn into a big fucken snake, so five will hear him hitting the floor with a thud. the phone also hits the floor... and then childe is just going to start freaking out, because he might not have arms anymore but he's bent and fused and just thrashing around because WHY!!! ]

[ sorry, five, he can't hear you above the panic. ]
