thusia | An Escalation

Who: Anyone
When: Day 148-149, evening to morning
Where: HQ area
What: Dem Mushi

[So those of you unaffected are probably going about your day pretty normally, other than the sense of buzzing and liveliness in the air. At this point most of the 3rd level's indoor plant-life has gotten a weird boost but the pace of growing is slowing down again. The effects seem to be.. drifting downward toward level 2 and level 1 instead.

However, quite a few of those who are affected will find that their condition is worsening, possibly in rather alarming ways.]

((ooc: I (ceesoo) will be running out to a movie soon but I will definitely work on threading effects tonight and all day tomorrow o7! Karri will also be here to run some escalation this evening as well. PEOPLE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY FAR-SEEING MUSHI, I AM CLAIMING YOU GUYS so you may not get a response while I'm out but I WILL DO THIS THING AS SOON AS I'M BACK. I AM HERE AND SHALL REMAIN SO UNTIL THURSDAYISH

People who picked their own mushi, feel free to tag into this post too and I can embellish on what's happening to your charas.))

[Shakes her head. It's a very sharp motion; not so pleased right now.] No, I don't.

[Also, she does have a strange request for him.] I want you to check if there's something in there.

[There is no way to make that sound less bizarre, so she doesn't try]

...

...

You mean reach inside your eyes?

[Since she can't actually see that incredulous expression, just gonna imagine it for herself.]

...Well. Yes. [Really can't stand this anymore, whoops.]

I don't think it works like that, but if it will make you feel better.

[Sitting her on the couch.]

I guess sit straight and take a deep breadth. It at least shouldn't hurt.

[Kind of glad that she can't see him doing it, because that would make it a lot harder to sit still.

He'll be in for a surprise when he actually feels the mushi in there, I guess.]

[Surprised. Very, very surprised. He pulls his hand out.]

There is something in there?

[Hhhggh noooo

Reacts with a soft hiss, feeling her stomach turn a little. Having validation for that particular suspicion doesn't make it any less gross and disturbing.

Let's see, what's something safe and stoic to say] Interesting.

How did you know?

And did you want me to try to rip it out?

It wriggles a little once in a while.

[Hesitates for a long moment, but--] Yes.

To be honest, I'm not even sure how. If I start to pull things that should be, tell me to stop.

[He puts a hand on her face caressing from cheeks up to the corners of her eyes. He waits there a moment before he pushes beyond them trying to get a hand on that mushi he felt before.]

[Success! The thing writhes slowly beneath his hand. Charming.

Lulu makes a startled sound but doesn't flinch at the feeling. Gosh, that feels strange.]

[He holds it without crushing it giving it an odd look. Also doing his best to reject the little bastard. He didn't need that in his system.]

Can you see?

[Clenches her fists briefly.] No...

[Honestly, less upset about that than she might have been otherwise. Blindness is way better than those constant visions.

Still, not exactly cheering]

[He tries to vaporize the mushi with Dark Matter. Taking her hand.]

Let's take you to the healing goddess then.

But... [I. I just don't wanna.

Here, have a blind kitty instead. Message is basically "carry meeee". It's been a long day.]

[He does take her and actually holds her instead of tossing the cat on his shoulder to balance.

Though finding Dellen doesn't seem to be that easy.]

Can't make this easy, can we?

[Sigh. Jumps out of his arms after a little more wandering and changes back. PLAN RUINED.]

Let's wait until tomorrow.

[Picking her up again anyway.]

Probably for the best. Still believe you should stay over at my place until then.

[Kicks her legs idly but doesn't complain for once.]

Perhaps. I'd hardly be able to find my way elsewhere, in any case. [Subtext: you're a pal.]

[He'd brush her hair back but his hands are currently full.]

I could take you to a friend's if that would make your more comfortable.

[Shakes her head.] I would rather not.

Still having trouble making friends?

[Carrying her back home.]

It's more that this is a private matter. No need to advertise it.

[Standing on her own once they get there.]

I don't think the people here will think you weak. The gods do like to play games with us.

[Helping to set her down and lead her to the couch.]

All the same, I dislike the idea of telling more people than necessary until this is solved.
