Not a hundred percent, but - haven't you been through something like this already? At the Prism or whatever.

[ seemingly unbothered by the sharpness, but their voice is a little muffled by their hand. ] No way to know until it comes back, I guess. Observe some other people. See what's going on with them.

[ktiseos]

[he still looks unsettled, not fully satisfied with that answer, but folds his arms as well as he can with one good one.]

-fine. I shall.

[guestservices]

[ yikes. there's a frown in their voice - worry immediately evident - as they pull their hand away from their face, finally. ]

...sorry, big guy. Know it sucks. You'll get through it, though.

[ktiseos]

I will. I have, with everything else. You needn't worry over that.

[he just. rubs at his face, there.]

[guestservices]

Course I'm gonna worry.

[ a little huff. ] 's gotta be scary.

[ktiseos]

I will manage. Surely you've other things to focus upon-- I thought you said we ought to be less friendly?

[guestservices]

[ ... oof. ]

... yeah. I did.

[ they shift a little where they're sitting. ] ...Lemme know if you change your mind, I guess. 'm here if you need anything.

[ktiseos]

I do have one question, while I am here.

[because it's at least worth making sure-]

Is there any other way to be healed, besides the capability you four have or Virgo's power? I have tried to ensure I do not keep it from others in more desperate need, but that need seems to have been quite high, recently.

[guestservices]

[ ah... they shake their head. ]

Only Virgo's power, and us. The others know first aid, but that's not gonna help your situation that much.

[ktiseos]

No, it certainly isn't.

[he shakes his head, at that.]

I suppose I shall have to hope fewer of them are in poor condition, this time.

[guestservices]

Kinda should hope that every time...? Maybe that's just me.

[ktiseos]

-well, yes, but-- for multiple reasons, in this case.

[guestservices]

Yeah, course.

[ a little huff. ]

Sorry, Emet. Wish I could do more.

[ktiseos]

It is a restriction of your duty. I understand that well enough.

[guestservices]

Sure is.

[ 8C ]

Try and work with your friends, see if you can figure something out, yeah? Maybe it'll help you coordinate something.

[ktiseos]

Yes, yes, it is a work in progress.

[also estelle probably will not let him live until this happens one way or another.]

...I do not suppose there is aught you can say, while I am here, of the missing bodies?

[guestservices]

I learned about that the same time you guys did.

[ a shrug. ] Surprised me, too.

[ktiseos]

It is certainly odd. There was no immediate pattern to it, but...

[-he sighs.]

I suppose we shall have to keep an eye on them, difficult as that may be.

[sometimes

weird shit happens and you're like well SOMEONE has to exhume these graves on a weekly basis now]

[guestservices]

Worth a shot. Cemeteries can be pretty sacred places, so.

[ aquila kicks their feet against the desk. ] Anything else?

[ktiseos]

For other people, I suppose.

[

forgetting vax means he has forgotten cemeteries' importance being explained i just realized this. lmao.]

They needn't know if it is disturbed by any of us, and we shall find out whether more of them go missing. I do not see a problem.

[guestservices]

Suit yourself.

[ they

blow a raspberry. pbbbtbththt. ] Just try not to hurt yourself any worse in the process.

[ktiseos]

I will manage. If I work overnight, I am sure I will have ample time undisturbed.

[guestservices]

[ there's another kick at the desk, and then, finally: ]

That's fucking stupid. Screwing with a place like that - you know that's going to have some kind of consequences, right?

[ktiseos]

Why would it? It simply holds the inert remains of mortals.

[guestservices]

Simply -

[ they kick hard against the desk. ]

-- Look. I want you to go say that exact thing to someone else. Go walk up to Estelle, and tell her, "Hey. I'm gonna go fuck up these graves in the middle of the night, because they simply hold the inert remains of mortals." Tell me how well that's gonna go. Picture the look on her face.
