December FamMeet

[cleavethetides]

Who: The Grove
What: Town Hall
When: Mid-Late December
Where: Inn Lobby
Warnings: Child death mentions, torture, body horror all probably will be brought up.

[ In the morning, Irene will trek around the Grove to knock on doors and let everyone know she's setting up a information sharing meeting in the Inn's lobby. She figures there would be best, considering the new fireplace (thread pending on my behalf) set up and the fact it's about as safe as they're going to get.

Irene also lets everyone know that any fights and any blatant drama starters will be met with punishment. She doesn't elaborate on this further. Zahliya is invited. Irene tells Moder if she wants to sit by the door to listen, she can. She does not invite the merchant siblings, however - though she'll make no objections if someone else does.

She seems to be writing things down in their shared journals this meeting so people can reference this later. ]

Hm? Oh, yeah, of course. I mean, that won't be a problem. I've already been putting them into my dishes, so nothing will really change going forward. [ Said ever so nonchalantly like this isn't fucked up and a problem- ]

tw: eyeball trauma ment

[devilishkouhai]

WHOA!!!! Kawaii, already entering your villain arc!! I didn't even need to do anything~~~!!! [ She takes Mizuki before he can SAY ANYTHING ELSE!! And tries to swing him around and use her tentacles to throw him in the air with a loud - ]

Hip, hip, hooorray!!! [ Suddenly confetti is sprinkling all over them!! ] We are saved!!! Don't have to worry about any silly infections making us have our eyeballs pop out of our heads!! That would look so unkawaiiii~~!!

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE --]

[dissonanz]

( MR GIANT COWBOY HE'S SCARED )

[devilishkouhai]

ooo, Mizuki there is a weird man looking at us - do you think he's jealous or something?

[mooninthewater]

[ He is being tossed in the air- ]

BB- we should stop the fanfare- ah- [ Weird man?? Whomst've??? ]

Mister Livio, are you okay??

[devilishkouhai]

Okaayyyy ~~~ ♥ ! [ Drops Mizuki down and skips away to do something else. ]

[livlaughlove]

Are you?

[mooninthewater]

[ He's on the floor now. Floorzuki. ]

…Yes?? Why wouldn't I be???

[cleavethetides]

You



What?????

[mooninthewater]

…Well, especially this month, there’s a finite amount of food, and my tentacles grow back, so I’ve just been putting them in the food…?

[ How to backpedal out of this gracefully… ]

[cleavethetides]

[ Oh the itch in the back of her skull that says something is wrong here is so strong here.

She inhales deeply. ]

Mizuki.

How long have you been doing this?

[mooninthewater]

Since… I learned how to cook?

what’s a fammeet without a bit of violence?

[cleavethetides]

[ This isn’t sitting right with her. What chef would teach someone cooking themselves is fine? Where did he get such a fucked up idea? There’s something so wrong here. She can’t just… let this go. Not like all the other times, chalking it up to Mizuki being a weird Aegir.

She steps forward, calmly. She makes no indication of her paranoia until she’s directly in front of Mizuki and reaches for her rapier. Unlike with the others, she doesn’t use it for her Arts Conduit to control the wind.

Instead, she stabs Mizuki with it.

Granted, nonlethally! Somewhere around his arm or shoulder or somewhere that’s heal quickly. She just… HAS to know. Don’t let his blood be blue. Don’t tell her she’s been dealing with a Seaborn here… Please, tell her he’s just a weirdo… ]

[sesa]

[Sesa is IMMEDIATELY jumping up from the floor like !?!??!]

Irene!! What do you think you're doing!?

[oleaeuropaea]

[Everyone knows everyone else here, right? Sure things have been a little chaotic, but it's only been him and Wolfwood really causing problems! So surely, surely this woman isn't going to actually -

Well, there he goes, letting his belief in others keep him from taking action. He watches the blade sink in and -

immediately leaps to his feet. Peacebringer is out and pointed not at Irene's body, but at the hilt of her sword.]

Hey, whoa! Put the sword down. Now!

extra spicy time

[alligatus]

[ And as he does that, the Knight clad in armor from before comes to form again. A quick flurry of gold, shaping him in an immediate manner. A sharp lance points towards Vash and his body is placed in between him and Irene. So that the gun instead Points to him. ]

Lower your weapon.

[lupusxylem]

[haha oh no you don't-

Just as Lancelot brings up his lance, Wolfwood is standing some ways off still, except now he's holding that cross he'd kept bound up this entire time.

The cloth is all on the floor now, and instead it's glinting black and blue in the light of the flames. He hasn't lifted it yet, but it's clear this thing is not a cross, but an actual weapon.]

Watch it, old man.

[oleaeuropaea]

[Well, that's one way of getting him to lower his weapon. He turns to Wolfwood, gun lowering. Even when he'd tried to speak to Irene, his tone had been light enough. That brevity is gone as he turns to Wolfwood.]

Don't. Put it away, Wolfwood.

[succiduous]

Irene!

[Girl what the fuck—]

Re: what’s a fammeet without a bit of violence?

[dissonanz]

( unlike... literally anyone else here, this is a place of heroes, kreide is backing up and away- )

W-what are you doing!?

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki is none the wiser when Irene approaches. He’s always been bad at reading people. He does know that Irene isn’t happy with him just based on his knowledge of Irene — she’s quite the scary lady. A true Inquisitor. Which is plenty apparent when she pulls out the rapier.

Mizuki’s Seaborn instincts drive him, fortunately, which means he’s able to duck out of the way for any more holes being poked into him, but that doesn’t mean that he avoids it completely. There’s a rather nice slash cut into his upper arm now. Between his Seaborn regeneration and his newly acquired moon powers, the cut won’t be there by the end of the night for sure, but…

Yes, Irene. That’s blue blood. Yes, Irene, him side-eyeing the fireplace is because he’s Seaborn. Yes, Irene.

He hasn’t been Aegir for a long time. He takes two quick steps back, but at this point they’re, perhaps, both staring at the azure stain on her blade.

…

He finally meets her gaze. ] I’m… I’m sorry—

[ Hey, why are you the one apologizing here, Mizuki? ]

hops in

[amhran]

[ Caoimhe just nyooms in, attempting to throw her body over Mizuki and hold him extremely close to her chest. As if she is trying to shield him from anything else coming at him. Not her little brother!!! She just tightly holds him, and falls into a protective stance and hides her face. ]

[cleavethetides]

[ She IS staring at the blood! For much longer than she needs to. She doesn’t even look at Mizuki when she eventually speaks, she at the tinge of blue on her rapier now.

Her voice is… strangely calm. ] …You’re a monster.

[ Everyone is yelling, guns are being pulled, Lancer is trying to defend her… It’s fine. She lowers her blade and glares holes into Mizuki. ]

Get out. My grace to you is not shooting you where you stand, Seaborn Scum.

[sesa]

Irene.

[Sesa has been on his feet this entire time, but. Now he's actually taking a step forward, ready to stand between her and Mizuki himself if need be.]

That is not your decision to make.

[Sesa knows he is speaking from a place of ignorance. He is from Sargon, after all.

But to him, none of that matters. Mizuki, no matter what, is nothing more than Mizuki to him.]
