What: Mingle

[So Efforts by Zexion have produced a small wall around the third and fourth level staircases, directing water down to Level 2, which at this rate is going to start flooding up and out of level 2 within the next few days. But on the bright side, this has stemmed a lot of the water running across the floors of level 4, so it's just a large wet slick instead of a shallow pond.

There is also a large sheet of paper up on the wall of Level 3's common area, for distributing information and ideas about how to deal with the increasingly concerning problems affecting the HQ.

But if you're not into all of that, a library has appeared on level 4. Hopefully it doesn't get flooded out in a week!

As it is the rain continues to pour, waters rise and problems do not get smaller, but for this moment nothing terribly dramatic is happening.]

[She looks briefly, briefly set off-kilter when Lavi mentions the flooding, but she takes a breath and nods. Right.]

Of course.

Did you have another dream? A dream with the water rising?

There was... water... a little. It wasn't— rising, just. There.

Did you see anyone else there?

[Shakes her head.] Not a god. Not someone I didn't already know.

[Nods and looks over at the window for a moment, out to the ever-present rain]

That was Rewstahde's work. ... And so were the travelling through other people's unconscious.

He doesn't belong to either side nor are the reasons for what he does clear to the other gods. But don't let the nature gods distract you, even if we're going to have to deal with him now. He's the one we need to keep an eye out for.

[It was because of a murderous god that they all went waltzing through one another's heads. WHAT A SURPRISE. Tightens her lips into a thin line.]

If he doesn't belong to either side, why did he destroy an entire civilization?

Dunno.

Guess I'll have to ask him next time I see him.

[Glances over towards the godly area.]

Does he have a shrine?

No, but I saw him once.

In a dream where the water was rising.

...Did he drown you?

No, I woke up before that happened.

And besides, it's a dream. You usually wake up before you die.

That isn't the point, Lavi!

[Runs her hands across her face.]

Can you tell me what he looks like?

[Gives a Lavi-esque description of the man in his dream. Dark skin, older gentlemen, rumpled suit. But of course, since this is a Lavi description, it's got weight, height, eye color, blah blah blah etc etc. Even location of the scuffs on his shoes]

[... She can interrupt him at anytime...]

[Right, right, she doesn't need quite that much information.]

—Good, that's good.

[At least she doesn't look upset anymore]

[Hair ruffle ruffle ruffle]

We'll both keep an eye out for him, yeah. And I'll add in a little something to our quaint little library just in case.

Just... don't upset him if you find him. Okay?

I don't plan to, yeah.

I just want to hear his story.

[Curls her fingers in his sleeve.]

I wonder if he'll give it.

If he's elusive as they say, then maybe he's never had a proper audience.

Then it sounds like he doesn't particularly want one.

Which is fine, for now. We already have a lot to worry about.

[Yeah, no. Still going to go look for him. And S'vx if Lavi can figure out a way that doesn't end up in him dying horribly]

Of course.

[Places a hand over hers]

How are you holding up?

[Hint: it's not hunting for S'vx that keeps you from dying horribly.

She turns her hand so she can squeeze his.]

I'm really tired. Of everything.

[Squeezes her hand back]

So take a break from everything for a while.

Aah, I have to wait a while yet. There's a lot to do and I can't start behaving like Brother and running off to sleep in the middle of everything.
