Week 13.

WEEK 13

The trip to Celestic Town is an unconventional one, though it's infinitely faster than walking and doesn't leave everyone feeling woozy in the same way that teleportation does. The town itself is a small one, though it's scenic, and there's a sort of beauty to it that's very rustic in nature; it's surrounded on both sides by mountainous routes that you're welcome to go on to both the west and the east, though it wouldn't be recommended that you venture too far out, seeing as they can be on the dangerous side for those who are unfamiliar with them.

It seems Cynthia was right about one thing - there was certainly an incident at Lake Verity that went off almost as soon as you left, another of those deep pulses echoing through the surrounding area; it seems that whatever Mesprit did can be felt by the region as a whole, given that Celestic Town and the surrounding areas seem to have been affected as well despite being so far east of the lake.

Cynthia herself can be found throughout the town for the duration, should anyone want to speak to her. Sometimes when left to her own devices, she can be seen in the company of a little girl who looks very similar to herself; sometimes she's with a pair of people much older. Either way, the family resemblance is strong.

Lucas is here as well; he's still willing to speak to anyone that wants to, though he seems a bit subdued.

Either way, it's been a long, harrowing trip so far; hopefully spending some time here will help to rejuvenate you.

Mmm. It's quite easy to do, when you have no idea what to do...

[...Michael, do you need help. Like, chiropractor help. Camilla doesn't know what those are, but--]

...And I suppose when given a reason to be unfriendly, at the start, but even so...that's simply a part of living and learning, isn't it?

Yeah, guess so - oooh, boy.

[Nah he's fine just let him stretch this out here?]

It's funny, I - I actually did know how to be friends with them. I was very good at it. Just, while lying about my intentions, identity, and general personality. So really, I guess I just knew how to make them think we were friends.

Careful now, Michael.

[That's said just a bit too quickly, though it's definitely laced with concern. Still, as she listens to him...hmm. It makes sense, certainly, considering his role?]

You knew how to pretend to be a friend. But when you actually tried to be one, at first, it was more of a daunting task than you imagined?
eudaimonikos: (a boost over heaven's gate)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-03 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I mean, it's not like I wanted to be friends with them at first, I just needed them on my side. But it was kinda fun hanging out with them and having actual conversations, as myself.

See - demons hang out together, and some of them have people they call friends, but those are mostly sort of...political allies. You still poke them with hot sticks, and jump on their vulnerabilities if you see them. And...I don't know, I was never very popular anyway.
anythingforyou: (🌹 Forty four.)

[...That's actually kind of nice to hear about, in some ways. That he was able to be himself around them.]

My, that's almost touching. It's like they dragged you out of your shell so you could be yourself...

[That's bordering between serious and joking, honestly.]

Really, from the way you describe your fellows, I don't blame you for not enjoying their company, however. They sound so excessively dull by comparison.
eudaimonikos: (and in the end if I don't)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-03 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, they have their idea of fun things to do sometimes. Lots of loud parties, lots of wanton violence. The drugs are better than human ones, I'll give us that.

But anything gets boring after a few thousand years, and everyone else was just so...satisfied with the way things were. I don't know, I don't really get it.
anythingforyou: (🌹 Thirty.)

[personal profile] anythingforyou 2018-09-03 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, that gets Camilla to smile just a bit more brightly.]

Sometimes shaking up the statis quo is a good thing; your kind could stand to learn from you some. Being so stagnant is utterly dreadful!
eudaimonikos: (and in the end if I don't)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-03 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, they will absolutely do something terrible if I go back there now. Only reason I wasn't facing the death penalty before is because my boss didn't want that kind of publicity, but there's no way he's kept everything hidden from the High Council this long.

[huh, he hasn't thought about that in a while...]

Wonder how hard they came down on him?
