We all saw a strange dream. A man at the top of a tower said that we were "contestants in the Festival of Termina". That there could only be one "champion" in it.
The city itself was... bad. There were dead bodies, traps, and the people there looked like they were becoming monsters.
[ and honestly he's been so freakishly chill with most of the things in heaven because he's an easygoing guy, but this type of rampant suffering is what actually makes him look mad. frustrated, for once ]
I'm sorry, Marcoh. You don't deserve to be there—no one does. Maybe there'll be a way for the angels to help stop the situation, so you don't have to have to go back to that.
It wouldn't even make sense—to redeem your life and save it, only to put you somewhere so dangerous again. We can help you make a case for it.
[ Oh Yves you sweet bean. Marcoh isn't as doompilled as Daan is about Prehevil at least. Because he thinks he can punch through stuff and hasn't seen as many horrors. ]
All I need is to stop the guy that killed me. The rest I can figure something out.
[ No please don't let him figure it out the city is hell. ]
It's not that I doubt you, but... it's not something you have to figure out alone. [ gives his hand a squeeze ]
Curses and things like this... It can take so long to fix them. Too long for one person, too much for one person. I can't let someone go through that again.
[ yves will gently guide them through a path that lets them be a safe distance from most of the flowers, and marcoh can see that they're fairly well looked after and maintained. ]
Grandpa loved these flowers... and I loved him. So I wanted to promise him that I'd take care of them in his place.

yves looks shocked himself, and this is after talking about these terrible murder flowers ]
You think... the town was experiencing the Festival?
no subject
I do think he said it was the third.

[ He's not sure what he means, if he's equating the island's curse to his weird death city plight or what. ]
no subject
I let a friend take on a burden all by himself before, because I thought that he could handle it—everyone thought he could.
I know you're different. I know you're strong.
But... I don't want knowing that to stop me from trying to help you. I'm sorry if that makes me too forward.
no subject
It's not.
[ To the 'too forward' thing. ]
I appreciate it.
no subject
You do? Then... I'm glad. Because you were going to have a hard time shaking me off anyway.
[ just a little bit of levity... but also... it's very true... ]
We'll figure something out.
no subject
[ Even if it's FRIENDSHIP!!! ]
no subject
Don’t worry, my friend, it’ll just be the full force of how much I come to love you.
It’s why I wouldn’t want you to go alone into any hardship.
no subject
Love?
[ He really is full of love... sweet Yves... what will Dana do to you. ]
no subject
the emotion is: ? ]
Did I say something odd?
no subject
No.
[ Well. He pauses. And decides to expand on it since it's Yves. ]
The people I was around don't really say things like that so easily.
no subject
but at least yves' smile is understanding. he knows he's a weirdo... ]
Hmm... I guess most people don't.
But after getting to know you, it's easy for me to say that you're someone I could love.
no subject
...Do you think...
[ ...No, nevermind. He decides against it -- both a hesitance on what to say, but also at a loss for how it should be phrased anyway. ]
Did you not say these flowers were dangerous? Maybe we should at least get away from them.
no subject
and yves will look back at the flowers and... there's a little bit of a forlorn look in his eyes. even still he nods ]
Mm... If you would like to, then let's go. I can come back later.
no subject
Oh, were you actually wanting to look at these? I don't want to interrupt you then.
no subject
... just for a little bit?
[ a small smile ]
I know I said all that stuff about the curse but... my grandpa would take me here a lot, when I was younger.
no subject
[ We love grandparents in this house. ]
no subject
[ yves will gently guide them through a path that lets them be a safe distance from most of the flowers, and marcoh can see that they're fairly well looked after and maintained. ]
