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.

People do some weird shit with viruses where I'm from.

[Somebody would have, at least.]
We've actually got quite a few melting-related departments, so the concept's definitely out there.
no subject
We've also got these things that melted to the point of getting all skeletal and waxy. You break 'em apart and they just shove themselves back together. They can literally rip their limbs off and beat you with them and then just stick 'em back on, and the whole time they're making a fuckawful noise that your bird would fucking love.
no subject
[He's not really taken aback by the descriptions themselves, because, well, but the fact that these things are just happening willy-nilly on Earth is a little yikes.]
What's even the point of that? Was it accidental, or did somebody just really want to kill their enemies very hard?
no subject
[...So yeah, it's kind of the latter.]
Bioterrorists pretty much run the world nowadays. Most of the time they're just out to make money or raise hell, but we've had two genuine attempts at ending the world in the past four years.
no subject
[Kinda funny? Vaguely depressing? His newfound sympathies towards humans are once again conflicting with his general personality and sense of humor.]
There's only so much killing people need, you know, to be dead. Melting flesh abominations just sound like a PR stunt.
no subject
[He doesn't sound like he minds that first comment, at least.]
Pretty sure one of them was doing it on the logic that he was saving the world. Too many people treating each other like shit. Pretty sure there was pretty bad brainwashing involved with that guy.
[So yeah, he doesn't like this whole Team Galactic thing.]
no subject
[God, who here doesn't have nasty history with brainwashing? Just him?]
At least it makes more sense in your world than here in the no-weapons, no-killing utopia. Still delusional, don't get me wrong.
no subject
[Like, this shit doesn't happen in a vacuum.]
My world's a fucking mess, but at least people are still willing to fight for it. More of that human persistence or whatever. We're not just letting it go to shit; it's just in one of those stages where everything sucks for a while before it gets any better.
no subject
[Well, that's more of a supervillain motivation than a real-person one. But then, if Cyrus didn't want people joking about him like that, shouldn'tve been a literal supervillain.]
Yeah, humans are like that. I hope you can work it out. Sounds a little rougher than my Earth's bad periods.
no subject
It's usually pretty livable. I've heard about scattered stuff here and there - bioterrorists and drug cartels going at each other in Brazil, some weird cult in Spain - but it's not usually all that bad. Hopefully the world-enders will sit the fuck down for a while.
no subject
[That sounds like a joke but also...they could be.]
no subject
The guy with the brainwashing got himself turned into some kind of monstrosity. He was killed by a former friend of his. I think the lady I was dealing with just kinda got sniped? And her boyfriend apparently turned into a giant bug and got a lightning rod to the face for his effort.
no subject
Did he turn into a giant moth and then sort of - fly into the lightning rod?
no subject
...I actually believe it because my world is just kind of stupid like that.
no subject
Oh my god! I hope he was just like - [He moves a finger around in the air like a fly buzzing, and says in the voice you use when you're imitating the guy from The Fly.] - "help meeeeeee".
