momquest: a quest for moms

[ It's another day in Tokyo-D, and the relentless cycle of content generation for the masses goes on; how long have you been filming this drama, exactly? And it's not that it's a bad show, per se, but the fact that it's really dedicated to showing the gritty realities of combat and using practical effects for it is... kind of a lot.

Also it can't decide if it wants to be a show about frenemies or about enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies. Cowards.

And besides, it's not home, is it?

It occurs to you on break at the really honestly lackluster buffet table set up for the actors and any surviving extras that... there's really not that much security on this show, all things considered, unless there's something you're not seeing... ]

Weird... I had that too.

Is hearing voices contagious?

I hope not! That'd be really bad, but I—wait, is that...

[ she squeezes her eyes shut for a moment. ]

...it sounds like Amaranth?

[He tries to listen harder with his ears?]

...Yeah, it does kinda sound like her.

Do we get ghosts around here now?

I'm pretty sure she's not dead! I mean—

[ she's alarmed, though. ]

I mean, wasn't she on transfer...?

She died while she was transferred?!

What?!

[ how could this happen!!!! ]

[HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN????]

That's insane, who could take out someone like Amaranth??

Ah, but—if something happened to her to the extent that she's a ghost here, that's really bad!

Amaranth, are you a ghost.

Amaranth, did you die facing an army of demons single handedly?!!

[ sometimes you can still hear her voice ]

Don't just jump to ridiculous conclusions!

[Flusters indignantly, then clams up.]

I mean, it could've happened...

Obviously Amaranth wouldn't screw off to Heaven by herself and die!

[or Cardinal would KILL her.]

I mean, she's in Heaven somehow... How d'you get to Heaven?

I think there was a time before, where... wasn't it Nem who was one of the people who got into a place that was apparently heaven...?

And then got super tortured to get her t'spit out the secrets.

...mm.

I guess we're all mixed up in it now, a little. At least it's as a group...

So we gotta go get her. Since she can't find her way back.

[This is the obvious conclusion]

[ yeah obviously. ]

[speaking of,]

--Hey, did you know your girlfriend's trying to call you?

I noticed; something weird is going on. Amaranth is supposed to be on a temporary transfer.

Yeah, like, to Heaven, apparently? I didn't even know there was any Heaven left?

Well apparently there is and it's incredible. You know a lot about this stuff; what do you think is going on?

Pretty sure you are vastly overestimating my knowledge of anything, but-- I guess it's technically possible she could've got to actual Heaven, though it shoulda been on super lockdown...don't think P wanted just any rando in there...also, it'd hurt most demons...

[Trails off, thinking]

--First time, Absinthe got us in? I guess...maybe somebody coulda taught her? And in theory, we could use that way too...? I think?

[Nods.]

We'll see what Amaranth says, but that's good to know.
