[this is so fuckin funny but honestly big mood (remembers the pinterest wardrobe days)
ANYWAY!! Sakyou's glancing at this message while he's in the middle of doing Sakyou things so he doesn't respond, but he's like !! internally... And he'll be there exactly half an hour from his text because unlike us he's actually punctual and isn't surrounded by clocks that don't work.
He's also smiling! A genuine one, if small. He's close enough that some of his feelios can be felt, and there's something distinctly happy there. HE'S GLAD... THEIR DOBBYS ARE SLOWLY BECOMING FREE ELVES.]
I believe this is our first time meeting properly, correct? I'm glad for the chance.
[sakyou things....... but she seems almost nervous when she wakes up - hesitant about what his reaction may be, and ultimately rather cautious but. it disappears rather quickly. his notes of happiness pull surprise from her, followed by relief and delight of her own.
she curtsies in response to his bow]
I think you know quite a bit about me thanks to last week [now that dana remembered to share a memory] but I'm also quite pleased to greet you as myself.
[Sakyou Things™. (3am cat chewing on cables noises)
Anyway!! They're just two vibin fancypants nobles, wow. Sakyou's smile persists longer than they usually tend to; it's good to see everyone being... y'know. Not completely isekai'd. At least Iris has a good fake name even if Iris is also a good fake name probably.]
Ah... I suppose so. [There's a little bit of apology in his vibes just reflexively, because it still feels invasive as hell, but it's fine they're fine.]
--I'm happy for you, though. Have you been able to keep yourself at the forefront like this since Sunday as well?
[ . . . she feels the apology vibes and comes off a bit sheepish - ]
... I hope you don't mind if I say so but - it's a little nice, to be known. My circumstances have led me to live a certain way for the past six years that's... complicated.
[lmao isekai]
But yes - I've been largely myself since around Saturday midday. It's been a relief.
I can certainly imagine so, even with what little I was able to see for myself. Six years like that...
[HelLO??? He only lived like 20 minutes like that and it was already exhausting, and he also didn't have to coexist as two people in one body. He was just a steampunk terrorist that got bombed outta the sky.
Anyway, he's looking and feeling a little relieved about that.]
Roughly the same for all of you once more then, I believe. At least reliable timing is one thing we have here...
[me: it was sunday not saturday but i'm too sleepy to edit please help
but she just laughs softly - ]
There were enough differences... at least I was always some form of me the entire time. Though I guess the two lives are a bit intertwined now...
[ISEKAI IS SO COMPLICATED]
But yes - I wonder if we managed to hit some kind of threshold with Vouchers to bring us back more consistently... I know my breaks were becoming more consistent too.
[fair and valid i will give you this and only this.
Anyway, there's a little flicker of sympathy and like, sympathetic exhaustion on her behalf. Just hearing about it is tiring! Yall fuckin isekais with your weird lives.]
That sounds quite complicated, to be honest... But as long as you can parse through it just fine yourself.
[HE GUESSES THAT'S GOOD?? Iris your trenchcoat-- But! He just considers that for a second before nodding.]
That would make sense. [...] Though I can't help but wonder... I'm very glad that you've all been able to break free more and more often, but why give us the tools to help you do so?
Well, more accurately, I've been thinking about - why are we receiving this many useful pieces of information to begin with? It's been proven now that there are grains of truth to a number of them - but why? Is information being leaked on purpose...?
Though I haven't quite reached anywhere resembling a theory...
[NEITHER HAS HE AND IT JUST MAKES HIM MORE DISCOMFORTED which are his primary vibes now, along with some concern and also Anger. He's just always fuckin mad about something though honestly.]
Neither have I, but it makes me worried. Unless someone or something wants to help us despite the overall apparent goal of whatever brought us here, doesn't that just mean that every bit of help we get is designed to fit said goal? To create more entertainment...?
[He doesn't entirely know how them being able to help themselves is entertaining but like, damn, he doesn't understand how any of this is entertaining.]
that also makes her angry, an intense, focused flare of it, coupled with a sense of protectiveness over everyone here.]
.... even if that may be temporarily so, I won't allow for everyone to be made a mockery. For every moment we must suffer against these insults to our character, we'll repay it back tenfold.
[Love that he can vibe with so many people about how Generally Full Of Anger they are in this chilis tonight! He does best when the main motivator is anger, anyway.
Though there's a little bit of appreciation that bleeds across their connection at that, too. It's still hard to trust literally anyone in a messy situation like this, but it's still nice to feel as though they all watch out for each other, if nothing else.]
Of course. When one takes in such a brutal way, they must be prepared to face equally brutal loss. I will enjoy the day that we can deliver it to them.

Thank you. It's much more convenient this way, at least...
But if you would like, that suits.
Is a half-hour from now alright?
no subject
Certainly. I'll be there.
Though I do hope to inform you that this is Iris, not Viola.
I hope you aren't disappointed.
[and she will be! in a cute spring outfit because if i don't dress up iris like a barbie doll i'll die]
