[He dies over and over in his dreams anyway, so it's not like this place is able to bring him anything that his mind doesn't already, in this case.

It's what allows him to keep his composure, relatively speaking, as the edges of the memory fade out. His eye close for just a moment; he takes a breath in and lets it back out again.]

...Geez. This place really won't let a guy rest.

[There's so much sword breaking going on in his life lately that he has half a mind to just glue Yasusada to him.]

[disingenuous]

[ as if anmitsu weren't codependent enough. ]

... No, I suppose not. It's cruel, really.

[ She tries to shake the feeling of what it means to break from her mind. ]

... I'm glad I can meet you like this, Kiyomitsu.

[slashay]

[Yeah they're only going downhill from here.

He turns that sentence over in his mind for a moment, though. It's kind of funny - he's said the same thing to so many others, but in this context, from Roxana, it has a different meaning.]

...Yeah. I'm really glad that I got to meet you like this, too. It's one of the things I'm glad about - um, for having this body. Also for this stupid place, I guess.

[There's a lot of misery in this shitty prism!! But he won't let it erase the good parts, few and far between though they may be.]

[disingenuous]

We don't have to thank this place. We can ignore how we came to meet.

[ She won't give it credit. She's not that nice. ]

I'll thank you instead.

[slashay]

[You know what, he digs the vibes of this and immediately agrees with her point. He'll be a little not nice, too.]

...Then - I'll also thank you. I don't really wanna thank anything about this place, even if the residents are right about the prism and all. But I'm really glad that I met you.

[ She looks at the bubble that still surrounds them with a thin membrane before she looks at Kashuu.

She smiles before she reaches out with color. There is nothing to thank about any of the memories she'll have to share. ]

[ here's your vampire tuberculosis lore.

(cw: blood, gore)

You have finally pulled off a plan that has been in the making for months. You have freed the son of your father's greatest enemy from the prison of your family's home. You have revealed enough of the cards up your sleeves that it should be fine. Your father won't suspect a thing.

You are alone now, and you can longer ignore the pain. Your insides are on fire, poison surging through your veins, and you know you have overtaxed yourself.

The price to pay for your butterflies is lofty, but it is worth it.

Even as you cough up blood and struggle to stay upright, you know you wouldn't have chosen differently.

Everything you do is for your own survival. ]

[slashay]

[THE VAMPIRE TB LORE!!!!!! except it's poisonous butterfly overtaxing lore... whack.

That sure is a lot, though. As a sword, Kashuu doesn't really have the same drive to survive as humans do, even if he isn't out here wanting to die about it either. The will to do so much to keep going with that level of ferocity is, as such, somewhat foreign to him, even though he's seen it in plenty of humans in his time.

As the memory blinks away along with the remnants of the bubble and its colors, he finds himself feeling a little off-balance. Maybe it's the memory of the pain, or of seeing a plan through like this.]

--Is... asking questions okay?

[Obviously she doesn't have to answer, but of course he's the type of person who wouldn't even ask in the first place if she didn't want to deal with that much.]

[disingenuous]

[ She's still even once the memory is done, and she doesn't flinch at his question. ]

I don't promise to answer every one.

[ So he's free to ask, but this week should hint, if not emblazon, just how cagey she is. ]

[slashay]

[A little nod! He gets it.]

--Was that an old memory, or a new one?

[disingenuous]

It was three years ago.

[ however old or new 3 years is. ]

[slashay]

Mm... Did it work out, then?

[That plan she had, that she'd risked so much for.]

[disingenuous]

I'm still alive.

[ Is that enough of an answer? ]

[slashay]

[DISCONCERTING but it's enough of one for him, honestly.]

Good. [Some people around these parts are turning out to NOT BE (alive), so that truly is good news.] ...You're gonna be okay, right? Even with those weird butterflies or whatever?

[disingenuous]

The butterflies were my insurance back then. I'm fine.

[ Roxana is a survivalist. She wants to survive, unlike 75% of the characters I play. ]

[slashay]

[this is so odd from an ara character it's like i don't even recognize you]

Mm... Okay. [A little nod! He takes her at her word.] And you're not in danger now or anything?

[disingenuous]

[ hey, medb likes living a lot. she likes living the most. ]

At home, I'm not in any danger. Here, I'm in as much danger as you are.

[slashay]

[She deserves it, Medb for lms every time.]

...Yeah. That part aside, I mean. [They're all in DANGER.] It's good that it's not like that at home, though.

[disingenuous]

[ no. stop. ]

I feel as if you are in more danger than I am in our respective homes.

[slashay]

I'm not human, so...

[Not really, he thinks. He could get his wholeass head blown off and he'd probably be fine. The danger is relative!]

...It'd be nice if everyone coulda come from a peaceful era, though.

[disingenuous]

Even if you are a sword made for battle, that does not make it better.

[ The danger is not relative like that, you stupid sword. ]

If only fate would be so kind.

[slashay]

[Good thing this isn't emotion share week because his vibes are like ???? right now. It makes it better as far as he's concerned! Sword logic. As for the rest of that:]

Yeah. Sucks that it isn't... I don't think I've seen a peaceful era last more than a couple hundred years.

[disingenuous]

[ boy if it were emotionshare week they could have a conversation about it. ]

That's still a long time to those with a finite lifespan.

[ but she is only 19 to his 500+. ]

People will find a reason for conflict.

[slashay]

[Hilarious. But yeah, that is true, huh... He just sighs.]

Yeah, they really seem to do exactly that. At least some people get some peace in their lives... Even if it's not the whole way through.

[disingenuous]

They're the lucky ones.

[ If that can be counted luck. ]
