with knowledge comes great responsibility

[What an absolute ordeal all of that was.

Today was certainly one hell of a day, that's for sure; they've managed to take care of another Guardian and gain it's trust (or at the very least, something resembling it), they managed to find Candice and manage to...well, maybe not get her back in a state that's altogether wanted, but ensure they managed to get her at least into a place where she could possibly regain herself. It will likely be a process, as such things are, but they've done their best, and they should have no regrets.

The center is definitely going to be a welcome reprieve for all of their suffering, at the very least. The Kompot is certainly more than enough to likely get everyone warmed back up and in a stable condition, along with the copious amount of blankets the locals have provided. They've got the time to rest and get ready for their next adventure.

Rest well, ye merry band of travelers. You've earned it.]

[...Hey, Chelsea. He is currently on the floor, letting his slug put kompot in her face, she's having such a good time.]

...Not really, but I'll get over it. You?

[niceoppai]

I mean, all of this is just so sad, isn't it? Life is unfair, but still! [deflates] I thought we were goners for a second, y'know?

[bloodspent]

Yeah.

[...]

...You ever nearly died before, Chelsea?

[niceoppai]

Way too many times in one week, let me tell you. ...You have?

[bloodspent]

Yeah. Way too many times.

[niceoppai]

I guess we're not exactly normal, most of us, huh?

[bloodspent]

I mean, we've got Aya, I guess. And Sena.

[...]

That's about it.

[niceoppai]

Yeah... Think they picked our worlds for that? The whole conflict thing.

[bloodspent]

God. Punching the feelings out of everyone would go exactly nowhere toward fixing what's wrong with my world. If anything, it'd just kill 'em faster.

[niceoppai]

They're set in their ways, even if it doesn't make 'em good ones...

[bloodspent]

Yeah, sorta.

[...]

What about you, how's your world holding up? Just in general.

[niceoppai]

You know, crime, corruption, wars, that kinda stuff. The galaxy's supposed to be peaceful, but it never does get that way. But there's good, too, same as anything.

[bloodspent]

Yeah, you never really get rid of that stuff, I guess, though my world hasn't been peaceful for a while. Not since I was a kid, I think it all went to shit when I was...I dunno, four? And it's been a shitshow ever since.

Still better than what this was like when we all showed up, though.

[niceoppai]

I'd think most things would be. Maybe the people don't know anything's wrong, but that doesn't make it better.
