drops of jupiter.

[ so that was a lot, especially since it was keith’s first time coming face-to-face with a commander. he knows everyone must be tired and emotionally drained, but they have a lot of things they need to talk about. things that can’t wait to be sorted out. he has to collect his thoughts first, though--he’s not sure how to feel about this exactly, but he knows he’s feeling a lot of things. keith needs time to process everything, and he goes off to be alone for a little while.

eventually, michael, kayneth, ignis, camilla, and bucky bring over some food for the gang. it’s a much needed meal, and maybe some people want to eat in peace. unfortunately, keith is keith, and he thinks now is the best time to have a discussion. ]

Look, I know I’m not in the best position to say this, especially after how I acted back there. But unless anyone has any better ideas, we need to go to that lake and see the Guardian. We have to try. If that’s part of the solution to saving these people and going back home, then there’s really no other option.

[ he’s saying this with a calm head this time. he’s frustrated, clearly, but he’s speaking firmly and with nowhere near the same aggression he held earlier, back when he wanted to attack jupiter.

he doesn’t believe that he can be the leader anyone needs him to be. not here, not back at home. but it’s not going to stop him from trying to do what he feels is right. ]

And if we need someone to scope it out before we act, then I’ll do it.

Cynthia said something about Cyrus taking control of a god, if she's reliable.

[eudaimonikos]

I'd thought she was referring to one of the lake ones, at the time. Would've been nice of her to be specific.

[Ah, well.]

That doesn't make him a god himself, anyway. Still some little fluffed-up human.

[semistableman]

Humans are always trying to take control of god-like powers they don't understand, it's nothing new.

[That sure sounds like he's talking about something incredibly specific.]

[eudaimonikos]

Guess not. In my world, there's nothing like that available - it's all just holy wars and all that.

[Mmmm. Maybe not poke that?]

Point being, Bucky, I think you'll actually be very helpful here. There's gonna be a lot of people in your shoes sooner or later.

[semistableman]

At the very least, I can understand what they're going through. That is something.

[eudaimonikos]

It has to be, right? Your whole Pokemon farm idea really does have a lot of traction.

[semistableman]

[That makes him laugh.]

It would be nice. Peaceful, too.
