[ Can't believe Seodore ended up as lms among his cyoamates. Life is ironic that way. It's... a while after the investigation and he no longer looks injured from the previous skirmish, but he is holding a chihuahua beanie baby named Tiny in his hand despite smoking like a chimney. Again. Good thing about loops is that his special cigarettes always stock themselves back up and he really needs it.

Anyway, he's around the studio lot again, staring at this dog toy. He can't let it go. ]

[ Astolfo is going to come bounding over and first is going to frown at Tiny. For a moment, he'll probably pick up on something close to regret before it's gone to his usual.

Next he's going to come stand in front of Seo and immediately reach for the top of his head to double check that the bump is gone. ]

Found myself wandering around the park! It was pretty strange.

[ Seodore is definitely feeling Guilt, but it's like muffled bass boost in the distance. He was about to swat the hand away, but he sees that it's Astolfo. Then he understands why he's doing that. There's no bump on his head and no traces of wounds from whatever happened in that cyoa. ]

Hm? How so?

[ Welt's Tiny was taken away from Astolfo ;; ]

My vision was blurry and I was pretty much out of it for a bit there! Not sure why that happened, but that's definitely something new. I'm not usually that out of it even during a full moon.

[ There's a flicker of curiosity from him though as he tilts his head ]

Hey, did you go through something different?

[ goodbye tiny...... ]

Are you going to tell me that you're a werewolf next? And I'm not sure what you mean by that.

[ ;; tiny will be missed

they do snicker at the werewolf part. ]

Nothing like that! I usually lose my sense of reason whenever the moon is out. [ like it's normal ] It doesn't sound like you were all wandering around like I was. Was it just me?

[ Okay??? Astolfo??? Seodore just stares incredulously for a moment as he blows smoke out. ]

It was just the usual of us lying down in the snow and getting up whenever. It felt the same to me. I went to Sears as usual, but it was...

[ ... ]

... different, this time.

[ It's fine! Maybe???

He doesn't seem bothered by it at least. ]

How was it different?

The entire place was full of glitchy, sparkling pink fog.

[ His vibes are rancid when he mentions it. ]

I went with Aris, and we found two corpses: Chihiro and Jane.

[ That doesn't sound good. ]

Something different from the adventures? [ They all did want to break the cycle or for something to change... not like this though ] Are you okay?

Yeah.

[ physically? Yes. Mentally? He needs some time. Can't believe they sell therapy in Sears. ]

I wouldn't advise going in Sears. It was full of digital monsters. I'm aware that most people can fight here, but I wouldn't recommend it—it was like a swarm.

[ maybe it's the 90's movie kind of therapy with whacky hijinks and found family ]

Looks like I'll have to skip on trying a new look then. [ next time! ] I'll make sure no one else wanders in.

[ also it's emotion share, seo! astolfo is going to study him for a moment before opening up his arms wide. hug? ]

Good.

[ His emotions are so mixed of many things: muffled bass boosted guilt, rancid anger that boils to the core, and slight confusion.

He recognizes what that gesture is for, but... no, he doesn't want a hug right now. Instead, Seodore lightly pats the ground next to him. Sit with him... if you can handle the cigarette smoke. ]

[ He'll only do something stupid if it sounds like a good idea at the time, which it doesn't at the moment.

Astolfo will take that invitation and sit down next to him. ]

It's too bad we still can't get to that bar.

I agree. I'm really torn to want to drink to a stupor or just be useful. Unfortunately, I can't do either of them~ Poor me.

[ lmao. He shrugs outwards with an arm that isn't on Astolfo's side. But then he's quiet for a while. ]

... Did you get to ask Chihiro?

[ Giving him a pat on the back. ] There there. [ He's willing to play along with this poor Seo! ] Being useful can wait a bit! There will probably be more weird things happening soon.

[ Maybe more pink whatever? ]

I didn't... I was going to give the kid some space since he kept insisting he was okay. [ There is regret mingling in his emotions at that. He really should have bothered him some more ]

[ The muffled bass boosted guilt is less muffled now as he sighs. ]

I guess I'm really the only survivor of that scenario. Awful. Truly awful. Really a divine comedy. You must be really enjoying this.

[ No vibes. No powers. Though the purple text seems directed at... not Astolfo. ]

[ Time to just lean into his side.

While Astolfo is a dumb of ass, he does recognize that those words aren't really aren't aimed at him. ]

Who must be really enjoying it?

[ Seodore takes a moment to try and think how he should answer this. ]

"Gods" are such a pain, aren't they?

Yeah, they can be. [ This is something he knows well being a Paladin as well as a Heroic Spirit ]

Were you cursed by a god?

I could be.

[ He doesn't say that in a coy way. Maybe he really doesn't know. ]

[ Turning his head to look at him. ]

Is it that you don't want to be the one left alive or left behind?

[ There's a pause as Seodore stills for a moment, but he lets out the breath he was holding, which also contains smoke. How does he not cough when doing this. I have no idea. He just smiles, but it's not his usual one. ]

Who knows? Maybe it's neither.

[ Watching him for a moment or two before huffing out a breath ]

I'll help you with whatever it is once you figure it out. [ Drawing up his knees to chest as he leans his head against them to keep looking at him. ]

I know a bit about being cursed.

Is that so...

[ He doesn't mind the leaning as long as Astolfo doesn't touch his earrings or gloves (the latter without permission). ]

Does it have to do with the moon taking away your reasoning?
