izumo every trial

WEEK 6, wednesday

[sacredchants]

[ so that mini-event that ended with izumo throwing a talisman at hot satan was something else. kind of anticlimactic but not in the bad kind of way...? sometimes you just want things to be easy when you've been shitposting for 7 or so hours straight. nevertheless, the point is. hansa.

also alphi. ...but mostly hansa. so i guess here's izumo hobbling up to alex vibing at the beach. ]

Looks like nothing caught on fire this time.

[chanteuser]

I'll take that as a win for us honestly. [ two of those missions in a row, and nothing was set on fire. amazing. ]

And no one was kidnapped. Or... rather, none of the leaders were kidnapped? So that's good.

[sacredchants]

[ WASN'T THERE A FIRE IN THE MANOR?? i have no idea how weeks work anymore but— ]

All's well that ends well, right?

[chanteuser]

[ i meant to be "something was set on fire" but did not :pensive: ]

No one got severely injured, as far as I can tell so I'd say so.

[sacredchants]

[ it's fine. i support you becks. ]

....Hansa almost did. The fortune teller threw her crystal ball at him.

[chanteuser]

[ she closes her eyes ]

Why did the fortune teller throw a crystal ball at him...?

[sacredchants]

He tried to run off with her cat.

[ alex. your romance. ]

[chanteuser]

[ yeah? ]

...

[ she just has a look on her face that pretty much says "yeah, that scans though?" ]

[sacredchants]

[ alex...???? ]

He also managed to do something with his arm. Uh, do you know anything about that?

[chanteuser]

... You'd have to be specific? [ like. anyone can do something with their arms, izumo. arms can move and do things. ]

[sacredchants]

[ she just. kind of gestures behind herself as inhumanely possible as she can with the hope that alex can understand. ]

Something like that.

[chanteuser]

[ oh. ]

... I see?

[ she doesn't seem? too bothered by this? ]

[sacredchants]

[ ????

???

????? ]

You...see?

[chanteuser]

Yes.

[ ...

...

...

... ? ]

What's... the issue, Izumo?

[sacredchants]

He seemed to be confused with his arm.

[ also a very different version of himself that she was unfamiliar with but that's also neither here or there. ]

[chanteuser]

... Yeah, he probably would. I should check on him.

[ izumo is still not really asking the right question to get an answer?? ]

[sacredchants]

[ ...... ]

Do you know why he changed? [ she's. doing her best. ] You know, since you're close to him.

[ alex your Romance. ]

[chanteuser]

[ she just taps her own forehead. ]

Why do any of us change here?

[sacredchants]

[ LISTEN SHE'S TRYING TO BE COY.....for once. except she just gives up because she tried. ]

Is he the person you mentioned from before?

[chanteuser]

...

[ she looks very blank. izumo. IZUMO JUST. JUST USE YOUR WORDS. A LOT HAS HAPPENED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. she's mentioned a lot of people?? ]

[sacredchants]

[ i'm in tears. ]

Th, the person back when we were talking a, about Alphinaud. You know! About not waiting! A, and taking the risks.

[ not that she ever named him but it's okay.... ]

[chanteuser]

[ oh. well, rip in heck naru because alex is immediately latching onto that: ]

Alphinaud?!

[ ahhh. AHHHHH. IZUMO YOUR BOY!!! ] Oh my gosh, was this why he was so cagey talking about who he liked a few weeks back at curfew?

[ THESE DEETS JUST COMING RIGHT OUT OF THE WOODWORK!! ]

[sacredchants]

[ NO THIS IS NOT WHAT SHE WANTED.

also please help her she has no idea what alex is referring to. ]

C, cagey? Wh, what are you talking about?

[chanteuser]

We were talking about romance, and he was very specific about keeping his privacy when we were asking him.

I... guess I can see why, now. If you two were dancing around each other at the time. Privacy is important, while you're working things out.

[sacredchants]

I... I don't think we were dancing around too much.

[ she was definitely dancing around the topic, at least? because...well. what is romance in this kind of environment?? not that it hasn't been nice. ]

He seemed rather confident.

[ AND THAT'S ALL SHE'LL SAY ABOUT THAT BEFORE DYING. ]
