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.

enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

You're right. Then again, it does sound like they just... disappeared, without any real explanation. I don't really know what to take from that, honestly.

You would think, but it does sound like they went silent after we got in contact with them. Saturn, I can understand, because we kind of caused him to have a meltdown, but...

Oh...it was that bad?

[Atsushi doesn't know much if anything at all about Saturn, but if he was anything like Mars...]
enjoymyatelier: just imagine the crossed arms and this is von karma as balls (are you cross examining a parrot)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-09-03 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
...well, it's because of something that's his fault, but we definitely made him cry.
gekkaju: (33)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-09-04 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh dear. Okay, so a lot more sensitive than Mars.]

That sounds like more of a good thing than bad, though. Not...him crying, of course, but the assumption you guys might have gotten through to him at all.

Not that that makes the fact that he just disappeared any easier to deal with.
enjoymyatelier: but what would that even do. (gradients of babylon...?)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-09-07 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... I'm worried that even if we did get through to him, it's all for naught. We've been trying to keep his little breakdown mum when speaking with the other commanders so Cyrus doesn't come down hard on him in case he could be swayed to our side, but... well. Who knows if Cyrus has already found out.

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-09-08 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[The thought of what Cyrus might do to one of his subordinates who defected is...unnerving. Especially with the disappearances...]

You don't think that they disappeared because of Cyrus, do you? And Mars just isn't being told about what happened?
enjoymyatelier: but what would that even do. (gradients of babylon...?)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-09-11 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's tough to say, but it's definitely likely. Mars did seem to have an idealized vision of him, after all.
gekkaju: (23)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-09-12 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
More than just a little...

[He might. Still be a little irritated by how much Mars talked down to him despite being a bit clueless on the situation at hand herself.]

I don't care what she says, he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would be a benevolent boss or anything. Not with all the things he's done to the people in this world already.
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-09-12 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
No, he's absolutely worse- the sort who thinks he's benevolent despite all evidence to the contrary.
gekkaju: (51)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-09-14 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think he's just delusional, then?
enjoymyatelier: but what would that even do. (gradients of babylon...?)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-09-16 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, absolutely. But you do have to realize that the most dangerous people you can deal with are the ones who are absolutely convinced that they're doing what's best for everyone.
gekkaju: (44)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-09-17 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you're right...there's not going to be any chance of us getting through to him when he thinks what he's doing isn't wrong.

I wish I could say I felt bad for that, but it's hard to when you see what all he's done.
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-09-18 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I don't actually wish I felt bad about it at all. He needs to be stopped for a whole litany of reasons.
gekkaju: (62)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-09-18 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Atsushi, inwardly: what does litany mean]

No arguments there. Even if he thinks he's right he hasn't done a whole lot to be convincing people he shouldn't be stopped.
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-09-19 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's because he's enlightened and knows better than all of us incomplete peons, of course.
