Yes, I'll meet you coming back when the universe has expanded

[azumods]

[Mars' chains had faded away as soon as the chains on Palkia had shattered, that unnatural red glow leaving her eyes; she doesn't stumble, to her credit, and seems to be trying to resist the urge to flinch or anything, but she's...not precisely looking too hot, either. Not like she's going to faint or anything, just like she's been through A Lot.

Jupiter is staying near her for the time being; ultimately, she's the one that addresses you.]

You guys can stay here if you want. Or don't, I don't care enough to insist. But we've got food and beds that probably beat the Center's, at least.

We'll be around, either way. Since I doubt you guys are just going to leave us alone after all that. Do what you want.


[OOC: Consider this a log to cover both any afterparty whatnot you want to get up to, as well as something to carry over into Sunday! Both Jupiter and Mars will be available for NPC threads on this particular log, should they be desired.]

.....seriously?

[Well, that does explain that.]

We just went and visited Candice and Big Blinky. And then we went to the beach and met some kind of rude ocean god. That's its kid Emmeryn was talking about adopting.

[discutio]

...I confess myself unsurprised that we ended up dealing with two very different situations.

[that's just his luck.]

Is Candice alright?

[eudaimonikos]

Shockingly so! I think the reset might have fixed her memory - we didn't talk long about it, and she remembered all of us, but I can't imagine how else she would have been that functional.

It's like, the total opposite of what reboots should do, in my opinion, but I'm not going to complain.

[discutio]

Unexpected as that is, I'm hardly going to complain. Maybe we should go back and check in with her, before things inevitably get worse.

[eudaimonikos]

Might not be so bad, now that we don't need to walk. I don't know that we have any definite plans anyway - we haven't for a while, outside of "wait for Cynthia or Riley to tell us something's happening somewhere".

[discutio]

...We'll definitely need to speak with Cynthia one way or another soon. I'm not looking forward to that.

[eudaimonikos]

Doubt anybody is. At least maybe we've calmed down a little. I understand the urge, but launching into a fight with her probably won't be productive.

[discutio]

I'm not going to start anything with her, for my part. I just want answers from her for a change.

[eudaimonikos]

I didn't before, I'm not going to now. But I know other people were...

[He hesitates, realizing that this is not the most empathetic, good-person thing he could say.]

...more upset than I was....we can just do another teleconference, maybe.
