You think...?

[ looking over her critically. ]

Are you... I don't know. Seeing things? Hearing things?

[sexyasmieu]

Just a headache... It's nothing that bad.

[teenrebellion]

Mm... At least you can rest now. Those missions are no joke.

Where'd Metis-san take you guys, anyway?

[sexyasmieu]

It was some kind of creepy tower... like, it felt like the whole place was alive.

[teenrebellion]

[ frowns. ]

Like... just a vibe, or the thing was actually made of... flesh?

[ he looks a little ill at the suggestion but also. gotta ask. ]

[sexyasmieu]

[ also looking kind of sick... ]

The latter thing.

[teenrebellion]

[ why did i not get this tag shakes dw ]

...Great. Because we needed more of that.

[sexyasmieu]

More...?

[teenrebellion]

[ he hesitates a little because anise has already been through a lot today. ]

...There's a room on the ship that's partially made of flesh, just pretending not to be. We closed it back up, but it's still... you know. There.

[sexyasmieu]

You went there?

[ to a flesh room... ]

...... Did it try to eat you?

[teenrebellion]

We didn't know it was like that. And I don't think so? The pillow moved, but Adrastea-san shot it before it could do anything, and we left pretty fast after that. It wouldn't have been as bad as a whole tower.

[sexyasmieu]

[ nodding... good that adrastea was there to shoot it. ]

...... It didn't try to talk to you, did it?

[teenrebellion]

No, it just kind of squealed when it was shot. Did the tower talk?

[sexyasmieu]

... Sort of.

[teenrebellion]

Sort of? How does it "sort of" talk?

[sexyasmieu]

[ hesitant... ]

Like... not in your ears, but in your head.

[teenrebellion]

Oh, that's just creepy.

[sexyasmieu]

[ nodding!! very creepy, actually. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ ...gently touches her somewhere she's uninjured and not rusty. ]

At least you made it back okay. No need to worry about stuff like that anymore.

[sexyasmieu]

[ ... hm! she doesn't respond. ]

[teenrebellion]

...Anise? You okay?

[sexyasmieu]

[ !!

out of nowhere, she just up and shoves him with all her might. (it's not that much might, but.) ]

[teenrebellion]

[ he's startled enough that she does push him back a little, and he just takes a step or two back of his own to give her space, hands raised as if in surrender. ]

Hey, Anise, it's okay. [ voice soft, trying to calm her down even though he has no clue what's happening. but kazuki had some lingering effects from his own mission, so it isn't entirely surprising that she might, too. ] You're okay. I'm not going to fight you, alright?

[sexyasmieu]

[ she's still for a bit. there's an almost glassy look in her eyes, like she's not fully present...

and then she shudders and takes a step back. ]

... Damn it!

[teenrebellion]

[ still holding his hands up, but he lowers them just a tad, watching her patiently. ]

Back with me?
