Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[Just in time! Levity returns soon with one of the fin style water jugs that is all too geometrical and two glasses to go with it that he sets on the desk for now.]

Well, there we are. I see you're already comfortable, hm?

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

It's difficult not to be with a room so cozy.

[ Absinthe sits straighter up when Levity shows, pocketing his phone. ]

How much of your fanmail do you keep, out of curiosity?

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[He smiles at the compliment, but the fanmail question sure catches him off-guard! He blushes slightly, eyes darting to the magnet board.]

Oh... All of it, actually. I've yet to receive any that would truly be uncomfortable for me.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ that actually surprises him -- ]

Truly? I know there's been some -- ah -- choices submissions, concerning you and I.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[uh,]

...If there have been, I have not received them. For which I am grateful, in that case.

[he sure can guess what kind of thing he could mean!! let's not think about that!!!]

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

I am honestly surprised they were so merciful, considering.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[He actually needs that water now, thanks Absinthe. He pours himself a glass, trying to breathe deeply.]

I wish you hadn't said that. Perhaps I'll need to be careful with the next month's submissions.

[...]

Did you receive something unsavory?..

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

My apologies -- I regret bringing it up at all, now.

Anything too unsavory for my liking I've since disposed.

[ which is the truth!! at least for the Levity focused ones. ]

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[thanks for not being all the way bad!!]

...Thank you.

[Okay, he's just. Going to drink his water now.]

Now... Where were we?

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ with a swish of his hand he makes his own drink a deep amber, and lifts it ]

Discussing Heaven, and the residents of my world, I believe.

Would you like a drink to start things off?

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

Ah... yes, certainly.

[fuck him up, i guess]

I suppose Heaven is not exactly going anywhere, so that's a topic safe to leave for last. But I did wonder about the others from your world... You already know I'm familiar with Noctis, but I met Gladio earlier today, too. We did not speak of you as such, of course, but... I doubt it will be every time that we both agree to avoid the topic. So I wondered how much they know about you, what things are safe for me to talk to them about and what topics are better to avoid.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ he shrugs, one hand lifting while the other keeps on his drink. and then he turns Levity's own drink into a lil red wine ]

While I do not expect for you to discuss me in-depth with him, I won't encourage you to hide anything as well. I've already discussed my circumstances with a few in their circle, and miss Glacies is aware as well.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[Taps the glass thoughtfully before taking a sip.]

I see. I haven't met Glacies yet, apart from what Jason and Noctis told me about her... but that is good to hear. Then I won't divulge things unprompted, but you are fine with it if I get asked about you?

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ he nods ]

I am. You need not worry about secrecy with them. Of course, I trust you to not misrepresent me as well.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[yeah about that,]

...Hmm. I do wonder what misrepresentation would mean in this case. Though--if they ever do go back to their world... I imagine that it is better for your goals if they still think you a villain?

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

The issue with miss Glacies, largely, is that she wishes for my assistance -- not that she thinks of me as a villain. But I would prefer not to go back to my world at all.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[?? ?? ?]

Assistance in?..

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

Stopping Bahamut, in her version of our world.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[Oh.]

...But does it make any sense for her to try to convince you here? If you are not even of the truly same world--and given that you intend to go to Amaurot with Alexander and the others.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

That is truthfully something I do not understand myself. You would have to ask her that.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

Perhaps simply looking for a way to convince the version of you in her world. Finding a logic or plea that he would respond to.

[He takes another sip of his wine thoughtfully.]

Though that, too, is not without its issue... You are not the same as you were, and surely you are different from the Ardyn of her world.

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ a languid shrug! ]

I'm sure that I am -- her path seems to have different quite a bit from the path of the Lunafreya I once knew.

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[God there's alternate reality fuckery too, great.]

...I wonder what would even happen if you were to go to her world with her. Would you and the Ardyn there coexist? Or would you force him out, as it were?

[Takes a thoughtful draught of the wine. Time for nerd.]

I believe there are theories that consider the world as a kind of a living organism in its own right - in which case you'd be a foreign body, quite literally. But reactions to that can differ, too, even if the most common one is rejection.

[Is this cute to you or something]

Re: 340 late evening

[innerdaemons]

[ he's in love with Emet-Selch and also fucking Lahabrea, this is prime dating material right there ]

Are we not all foreign bodies to this world?

Re: 340 late evening

[weenwoon]

[the word is having bad taste]

To this one? Perhaps, although I'm still not too certain about its ties to Earth. Not to mention our... hosts... seem to possess great powers, likely enough to counteract what one might call the world's natural reaction, as it were.

[He sips more of the wine. Maybe he should just get drunk, we don't know?]
