Mm... basically, I asked Jing Yuan earlier in the week about how much he intended to go home and who he had to return to. He spoke very highly of someone, his retainer, who... I think appeared during the... battle on Sunday. [ what does he call it. he didn't like it. ] So when I talked to him on Saturday, it didn't make sense to me that he sounded like he didn't care anymore... and how he didn't even care about returning to life.
Given how much Jiao cared about him... I don't think it makes sense for him to suddenly be such a callous person. So I think... something happened. Or something was wrong with him by that point.
But when I talked to the angels... they said that they can't detect any anomalies, and nothing should've been able to infiltrate this space. Gamaliel went to double-check about the phenomenon on Thursday with all the locked doors, but hasn't found anything. They told me to keep an eye out this week, to see if we can see any odd behavior... but it must appear later. Maybe Wednesday?
Even though they don't think it'll happen again, I thought I'd just tell you and some other people since I'm sure you asked too... Just in case.
I spoke to him and he said he killed because he was bored.
[ The dark spots flare up to something redder, almost like smouldering lava inside him. ]
He didn't have a shred of remorse or regret. If he was a different person in his last moments, then Jing Yuan died a time ago. Madness or not, I don't pity someone who can say something like that so callously.
[ oh! well, okay. yves just looks on for a moment, and keeps his hand on marcoh's arm. concern intensifies, but it's almost entirely for marcoh ]
... I think it makes sense to be angry about something like that. But I think then... I'm mad at whatever or whoever was affecting Jing Yuan's mind so badly that he'd be able to say that.
I don't think you have to pity the man he became. But I'm worried about what it means, that someone who was kind can suddenly become like that.
His people deteriorate from one of only two things. Battle or madness, is what he said. I don't hold a man responsible for his sickness but I don't forgive him for what he does either.
[ Omo, desperately: IT'S NOT THE MARA!!! IT'S MEEE!!! IT'S THE GAME!!! Me, ICly: anyway about that crazy old people madness ]
I just think... if we're opening the idea to Jing Yuan being afflicted by sickness, that means we can get sick here from things that affected us in life. If that's the case... I'm worried about Monsieur Lucas.
[ it's not the mara but listen yves is willing to listen to the theory ]
But then if there's the chance he wasn't afflicted by his people's sickness, then it might be something else. Even if it's worse to have a nebulous 'something else' we don't understand.
This was supposed to be God's project and everything, so... I guess it's going astray. Which isn't great.
[ for sooo many reasons ]
But that sounds aligned with what I heard. They don't think it can happen again but... I think we should still keep an eye out. Just in case. If this week passes by without issue, I think we can relax again.
No. Not at all. I just want to make sure that we can all get out of this situation, and it'd be nice to collect the souls of the people we've lost too.
It might be ambitious and idealistic, but I don't see a reason to not try.
[ marcoh... you deserve all the affection in the world
yves just smiles at that ]
You're an easy person to be comfortable around. I like showing you how much I care about you.
[ yves is extremely touchy on a normal basis and became only more so after affection week enabled him, but he is extra affectionate with marcoh because he loves him so much "it's been one week" sooooo much ]
But you really can tell me if it's ever too much. Adolphe just knocks me off when he gets annoyed. I won't take it too hard.

I'd rather be cautious and consider everything.

I talked to the angels too. Some good, some bad. They're angry about it, but they feel bad they didn't know anything and couldn't warn us about it.
They're managing to keep contact with God? And they seem unhappy about it also.
[ Which. Doesn't seem very good. ]

I can't say much, but I think, at least. They told me something that sounds like it could be good. Something to hold onto, at least.
[ The black marks settle a little. ]
So it's not all bad.

[ tilts head ]
Ah, but if you can't say much...

But I am hoping it will be.

Right? Looking forward to being in your continued partnership, Marcoh.

He's not stiff or anything but he definitely just looks like he's not totally sure how to react sometimes. ]

No good? You can tell me if you're not a fan.

I'm just not used to someone who's so... comfortable.

I won't. It's not annoying.
no subject
If that's the case, then don't mind if I do.
[ continues to show marcoh sooo much affection especially if he's not used to it ]
You can still lean on or touch me too, you know. Anytime. I won't mind, either.
[ i need to clarify this sounds slutty but he means it in an affectionate way and also somehow heterosexually ]
