week 6 ( saturday )

[subordinacy]

[Not like there's a lot of privacy where they are, so who knows how this works, but anyway

Setz doesn't really know what to say to Maya or how to talk to her, especially after the awkwardness of their last conversation, but... if it all ends tomorrow, then he might not have another chance—and it feels odd to part on that note.

So, however uncertainly, he approaches her.]

Um...

Comments

[subordinacy]

[...

Awkward silence because Setz didn't think this far ahead.]

[feytality]

You wanted to say hi again?

[ is she a setz whisperer. ]

[subordinacy]

[yeah because she was nice to him a few times??]

... Well, this might be the last chance, so...

[feytality]

[ .... ]

Well.... if you want, and if all goes well, you can be a Reaper for my Game. I'm sure the Composer wouldn't mind. But I'm guessing you have your own things you want to do, right?

[subordinacy]

... I don't think I'm suited to be a Reaper. Sorry.

[feytality]

It's not usually like this, I can tell you that much. But it's fine, I just thought I'd offer.

[subordinacy]

... Thank you. But... I'll probably have enough to deal with back home without worrying about another dimension as well.

[feytality]

Sounds like it. What are your plans, if all goes well?

[subordinacy]

I don't know. It's entirely possible that even if I'm revived, I'll die again shortly after.

[feytality]

Why?

[ she knows but i dont bc i'm canonblind so fuk u jan explain it. ]

[subordinacy]

... Don't you have some sort of file?

[pls]

[feytality]

Yeah, but, I'd rather hear it from you. It's your life, after all.

[subordinacy]

[...]

The world was coming to an end. I was trapped in the dimension between it and the "outside" world with Nilvana—my murderer—but eventually, that started collapsing onto itself as well.

[Which was when Nilvana killed him! So, yeah.]

I don't know what my fate will be if I go back.

[feytality]

Since it's you, I'm sure you'll be able to fix it.

[ wow. ]

[subordinacy]

... Um, it's the kind of thing that's beyond the scope of my ability...

[The world(s) is definitely falling apart, no matter what he does.]

Only I and a few others were in that other dimension, so I assume everyone else was escaping to the "outside". My main hope is that they made it out okay.

[feytality]

You know I didn't mean the whole universe, right?

[ you don't gotta take it so literally setz she was just being gay. ]

The "outside"'s not in danger of collapse, right?

[subordinacy]

[Setz takes most things literally. :/]

No, it should be fine. Though since the purpose of creating Crepuscule to begin with was to isolate ourselves from humans... I imagine that if we return to the outside, we'll be living in hiding.

[feytality]

...

That bad, huh.

[subordinacy]

... Well, it's an obstacle we'd have to face, sooner or later. My friends and I were... always planning on bringing Crepuscule to an end, after all. The sacrifices the world was built on weren't worth it.

[Except his dad decided it had to happen right that instant and also with a lot more violence and death involved, because he didn't give a damn if everyone died in the process??]

... I doubt reconciliation with humans will happen in my lifetime, even if I'm brought back to life. Still, as long as the people remain safe, I'll consider that a victory.

[feytality]

.... Are you sure you don't wanna be my Reaper?

[ just saying. ]

What's stopping you all from reconciling? Just humans being jerks, or...?

[subordinacy]

... Why do you ask?

[??? He doesn't get it.]

There's... a lot of bad history between our kinds, and they evidently haven't forgotten—from what I know, they still despise any indication of "monsters".

... On our end, most vampires don't even know about the existence of humans anymore. I'm among the very few who do.

[feytality]

I mean.... you wouldn't have to worry about dimensions collapsing or being treated like a monster, is all.

[ or getting killed by your bff yikes. ]

I'm guessing that'll be a nasty shock once they're among humans again..... Do you know of any that might be okay with you?

[subordinacy]

... It's my duty to deal with these things.

[Whether he likes it or not.]

I doubt it. I'm aware of how they still see us primarily because of the one human I know—and he was persecuted as they believed him to be one of us.

[feytality]

[ go to bed jan!!! ]

I get that. I'm just worried for you.

[ just take all your friends to japanifornia and kill them setz????? they can all hang out in the game together. ]

A life in hiding would be truly painful.....

[subordinacy]

[no!!!]

... You don't need to worry about me.

[Sure, his life will probably never be a happy one, but eh.]

[feytality]

Somebody has to! You're always collecting weirdos and dangerous people!

[ is she including herself in that. ]

[subordinacy]

A-Am I...?

[feytality]

Yeah. You're a real trouble magnet!

[ coming from maya this is. something. ]

[subordinacy]

I don't think I'm really...

[wow??]

[feytality]

You're friends with both Jacopo and Infinity Lancelot.

[ just saying. ]

[subordinacy]

... I don't know if either of them still see me as a friend [or in Shinssin's case, if ever??] but that's only two people?

[feytality]

Aaaaaand who killed you again?

[subordinacy]

[Listen, just because he spent his life surrounded by people like his dad who plotted a 500-year old suicidal tantrum, his fiancée who snapped towards the end of her life and became yandere for him, his one friend who also snapped and went on a revenge quest, and his childhood servant who eventually made it his life mission to murder him and make him suffer, and he then went and associated with people like Jacopo and Shinssin...]

... Nilvana's worse than both of them.

[feytality]

[ hm. ]

[ h m . ]

And this is disproving my point hoooow....?

[subordinacy]

It's... not that odd, is it...?

[He doesn't know that this isn't normal?? This Game has been the closest example he's gotten to healthy, functional relationships.]

[feytality]

No, it's extremely odd! And that's coming from me!

[ so. you know. ]

[subordinacy]

Oh.

... I'm used to it?

[feytality]

Get unused to it.

[ again this is coming from her. ]

[subordinacy]

... That'll pose some problems...

[Given that he's

probably going to be stuck with Nil for the rest of his life.]
