[ 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.

[boxcar]

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 ]

[noirges]

[ HELP MEEEE ]

... but if sickness can come back here, then that means...

[ a pause ] If Monsieur Lucas starts to appear sick, or starts coughing at all, please let me know.

[boxcar]

...

You have something to be worried about?

[noirges]

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.

I'd rather be cautious and consider everything.

[boxcar]

...Right. I'll keep an eye out.

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. ]

[noirges]

[ nods... ]

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.

[ it won't ]

[boxcar]

[ ...

Slowly... ]

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.

[noirges]

Something... good?

[ tilts head ]

Ah, but if you can't say much...

[ he won't pry ]

[boxcar]

They said they need to find out more first. It would be bad if one thing was said, and it turned out to be not true later.

But I am hoping it will be.

[noirges]

Oh, okay.

[ accepts this without any further explanation, and he tries to offer up a smile for marcoh ]

Then let's keep hoping.

[boxcar]

We will. You don't feel the type to give up either, right?

[noirges]

[ there's just

a little laugh at that ]

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.

[boxcar]

Me neither. As long as... no, even if they told me it's impossible, I wouldn't not try.

[noirges]

[ leans his head against marcoh's shoulder again, laughing ]

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

[boxcar]

[ Yves is so affectionate...

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

[noirges]

[ every week is affection week for yves especially since we fucking started with it and he got used to it

but he'll look up curiously ]

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

[ just yank him off by the scruff of his neck like a misbehaving cat ]

[boxcar]

You're fine.

...

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

[ Like, just so blatantly open with the affection. ]

[noirges]

[ 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.

[boxcar]

[ Sweet Yves. ]

I won't. It's not annoying.

[noirges]

[ he is an annoying lil creecher ]

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 ]

[boxcar]

[ He can truly feel the heterosexuality which is why he's so umm about this. ]

Yeah. You said that last time too. I haven't forgotten yet.

[noirges]

[ i'm so sorry marcoh yves is a swindler a con artist a problem ]

Then just consider it a reminder.

Adolphe finally hugged me first today, so next on my wishlist is for when you do.

[boxcar]

[ Beat pause. ]

I thought I did?

[noirges]

You hug me if I ask for a hug, which I do appreciate.

But one of these days, I'll be waiting for you to hug me first just because you want to....

[ nods to himself ]
