a slight frown at that strain. ] I didn't mean you weren't a friend, too. Just... I have to be with Jonas and Alex. I have to make sure that they're okay.
[ but. the mission. he nods tiredly, eyes closing briefly. ]
It was Hulkenberg-san's world, apparently. And we had to enter this tournament to - [ a pause while he listens to... something? nothing? and just nods his head in that "yeah yeah okay i get it" kind of way. ] - to lift the prince's curse. One of the guys in the tournament knew how, so we needed to get close to him. But he was like a celebrity, so we had to go through the tournament to get there. Which meant... getting a bounty first.
No, no, that wasn't — I get it! I do. I just...I miss some of my other friends too, in times like this. My own Jonases and Alexes.
[Like the one who showed up for ten minutes while she was too cursed to actually talk to him sanely and vanished into the ether? It was actually really heartbreaking, where did you go Gerard. Or the one she gets to watch on the Sportzbar tv buddying up to Rin and Haru and going feral on the field. This week has been a bit rough on that front.]
So you were made to fight in it? [But he is just a guitar boy??] What was the bounty? And the curse...
I just - it's the only way I can protect them, that's all.
[ he did kind of want to ask rosamund about that, at one point. everything else happened so much that he lost track of so many things. ]
Yeah, we were. The bounty was - I think it was just supposed to be a regular monster, but it turned out to be a human instead. They're like monsters, but smarter, stronger, and they were immune to all of our equipment.
I don't know a lot about the curse, except there these, like - vines, all over the prince, and he fell asleep and didn't wake up. [ lmao. ] Some kind of assassination attempt, maybe so Louis could steal the crown instead? He's supposedly the one who did it.
Though there is a complete drop of her face at the mention of "vines" all over a prince.]
...You don't say... [Trying not to think too hard about it. She hasn't suffered a ton under whatever weird transformation has been taking over people this week, and she's scared if she thinks too hard about it they'll come back. Maybe even stay for good. Rosamund clears her throat.] And you had to break it...how?
[ray we're going to have a thread that is not about her issues one day i promise you this is simply the worst coincidence]
Yes! I mean, yes? Sorry. Vines?
[She takes a breath and shakes out her hands. What happened to being more upfront this time around?]
Okay we can talk about it more some other time, but that is very very similar to a curse that's in my world. The one that happens to me, actually. Except it's briars, not vines. Just briars everywhere. All over the Kingdom.
It's fine. I'm not cursed now. I'd like to hear more about what happened to you.
he's listening to this like holy shit? holy shit. what? ]
Uh. O-Okay. [ what is he supposed to say to this???? ] I'm glad you're not cursed now?
We - We didn't, actually get the cure yet. That Louis guy was supposed to have the way to fix it, but we never got to him. The bounty was going to be the first step, but we ended up back here before we brought the human back...
