THE HORRORS OF OBLIVION | [@]MERIDIAN

[D's communion into Meridian aligned minds is like a very polite knock at the door, except when the door is finally opened, a rush of icy wind blows in. No warmth or mirth can be found in the space of his mind, though it's a surprisingly gentle, dark void despite the chill. It's familiar for anyone who has had a communion with him, but probably kind of eerie for those who haven't.

It's also pretty quiet now actually.]


I made an attempt to Reincarnate the late Tribune. [He delivers this all very clinically, very factual.] It failed, but not because he hadn't been willing.

Something else had been inside him. [Can Nothing be something?] It had cleaned his soul out, if he had one at all, and left him as a husk. There was no soul to shift into another body.

It spoke through him. It said, "We never would have been able to Enter without the Choices that have been made."

[ This is a lot to parse.

Yuri was there for an attempt at reviving the dead, though that individual had been gone far longer. It did not end well, and he doubts that was owed entirely to his sabotage,cthough he did indeed do just that. That case would have required bleeding four specific people dry and he was one of them. ]


Well that's something.

[ He starts, not particularly willing to stroll down memory lane. The dead person in his little tale is Byleth's mother, after all. ]

So I'm guessing this is another facet of all the lovely, disturbing things we're getting accosted with. Fantastic.

[ Honestly, they need it. ]

That bad, huh... Suppose I'm not surprised.

[ Unfortunately. ]

Did it give any indication of what the "actions taken" referred to?

I'm inclined to agree with you there. This place seems increasingly unstable, and not just all that business we'd already been looking into.

[ It has concerned him for some time, really. Ever since they started seeing phantoms with familiar faces. ]

But how do you investigate something like this?

Can't help being reminded of that death-dream people mentioned when coming back from the last Oracle.

[ Byleth and Sentience seemed to have had much the same experience in that regard. ]

Anything you suppose we should have a closer look at in the meantime?
wolfish: (regard)

He mentioned that to me, though he also said there wasn't much to share.

[ Which always struck him as a little strange, but then again, it would explain the lack of anything to be found in the city. ]

What are you at, harmonization-wise?

He has always struck me as more of a figurehead than anything else...

Have you noticed anything different, being that high on the rungs?
wolfish: (regard)

[personal profile] wolfish 2024-02-16 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
I see... Well, it's definitely one avenue to explore.
wolfish: (regard)

[personal profile] wolfish 2024-02-17 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
You could be right. It's one avenue I haven't considered...

Let me know if you end up wanting a hand, yeah?
