momquest: a quest for moms

[farfromgrace]

[ 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... ]

That's good to know, about the gates. All the more reason to continue prioritizing staying free from corruptions, as long as I'm able.

Unfortunately, this place is floating far in the heavens. Normally I might trust LiliS's Nightingale ability to navigate me down safely, but while I was in Liar Hell, my abilities somehow left me.
[ joking ] Perhaps I'm no good at being LiliS?

—In truth, that is the main reason I haven't yet risked it: these are higher stakes on a gamble than even I like.

.........Yeahhh, that's probably the best, if you're trying to avoid corruptions.

[vague thoughts of someone--someones--jumping off and ending up super-dead; seems bad,

also vague confusion about being poor at lilising--if she couldn't master it, then who could? why would amaranth be bad at anything???--then this is wiped away, back to business]

Anyways, just hold on, we'll figure out a way to get you out without anybody pancaking. Okay?

[ (what's a pancake...)
The confusion is answered with a mix of anxiety and something like loneliness or sorrow, though both feelings are quickly tucked away. ]

I appreciate that, thank you. It would certainly qualify as my second-most unpleasant death.

If we can't even make number one, what's even the point?

--Hold on, I think something's happening.

[something of the mental connection variety, let's say]

Re: #foreshadowing

Ha! Well, exactly: not a worthwhile death at all.

[ yeah, something is definitely happening. ]

And yes, there's some kind of gold thread here now...
