[So, it's still early enough to get a full day's work done, and there's much to do around the HQ.

As people know by now, Level 4 has mostly been cleared of active nature, though farther from the apartments near the stairs there are still the remains of vines and moss and dirt on the buildings and floors. Fallen trees and tangled roots still clog up the area around the buildings which must have once been shops.

Aside from the library claimed by Henrietta and perhaps few other establishments, they are doorless, and inside those abandoned buildings there is still evidence of old equipment and rotted furniture waiting to be re-purposed, broken down for offerings, or thrown out if it's beyond use.

There's not much fresh plantlife left here to collect for offerings, but plenty of cleaning to be done, perhaps in Eizon's name, in exchange for the electricity flowing through whatever fixtures people have acquired by now, or as an offering of kindness in exchange for water...

Up on the fifth level, nature stubbornly continues to prowl.]

Strike.

[besomeothername]

Some Mirror-warped memory interfering with your happily ever after?

[anopenbook]

Strikkeee two.

Don't worry about it. I'll work things out.

[besomeothername]

You do realize that saying "don't worry about it" has the exact opposite effect of what you want it to.

[anopenbook]

Put some fucking faith in me, bro!

[besomeothername]

I do have faith in you, yeah.

But at the same time, yeah--- I am your brother. That's what we agreed to, right? If there's something that I can help you with, then I want to.

And the awkward excuse is a lame defense. Just so you know.

[anopenbook]

YOU'RE lame.

And I didn't expect you to take this bro thing so seriously....

[besomeothername]

... You didn't?

[anopenbook]

You've taken to it like a duck to water.

[besomeothername]

What is that even supposed to mean?

[anopenbook]

I mean you're pretty good at being a brother.

[besomeothername]

[Red. You're confusing Lavi again]

But that's not what you wanted?

[anopenbook]

I'm actually pretty pleased with it?

[besomeothername]

Then why am I lame again?

[anopenbook]

Because you're my brother.

Deal with it.

[besomeothername]

Heh. I don't think you quite get what you signed yourself up for.

[anopenbook]

I'll deal with it.

[besomeothername]

Very well played on distracting me from the original thing I was digging for, yeah.

[Rough hair ruffle]

Fine, fine. I won't worry about it until you tell me to.

[anopenbook]

THANK you.

[besomeothername]

I'm still gonna plan a date for you two though.

[anopenbook]

What kind?

[besomeothername]

Something overly romantic. Like a fairy tale.

[anopenbook]

If you got the scenery right that could be cute...

[besomeothername]

And what would you consider "right" scenery?

[anopenbook]

Something peaceful and cute and homey....or maybe a castle.

One of those two!
