A dual post!

[Journal, filtered from Escher]

Hey, uh. Flamvell grill folks. I, uh. Panicked on makin' dinner plans, so I'll be in Thursday night. Please dun fuck this up. I'm pretty sure I'm perfectly capable of doin' that myself.

[Event!]

Cyril can be found around town, putting up flyers. 'Are you a directionless spirit? Do you have anxieties for a world that isn't quite accepted us yet? Contact 'Cyril' on his journal or find him, for a Duel Spirit support group, hopefully starting in early October.'

I've definitely got no intentions of screwing it up for you.

[azuremagma]

...I really 'ppreciate that.

Does yer 'usband share the sentiment?

[remarkablerain]

If he knows what's good for him, yes, he does.

... So what's your dinner date like, anyway.

[azuremagma]

... Interestin'.

Parts of 'er set off alarm bells in my 'ead, but I ain't payin' attention ta it. Pretty sure she's jus' some sorta long lost Samasu?

[remarkablerain]

She looks like one?

[azuremagma]

Kinda? I mean, obvious ice theme, probably's got somethin' that allows 'er ta freeze 'er drinks, the skin. Weird colored eyes.

...she did pick up on me bein' a fire spirit. An' a 'person o' authority' ta boot.

[remarkablerain]

... A "person of authority" specifically is a little weird.

Though you're probably right that she is one if she's got those other traits. ... But you have to guess at it? Didn't give you a name?

[azuremagma]

Yeah. Set off somethin' in my 'ead 'bout it. Ain't any reason ta never see 'er 'gain though. This place is full o' weird talents, an' I ain't 'zactly subtle with the fire powers. I dun think I look like authority much anymore.

Escher's the only name she gave me an' I ain't overthinkin' a girl 'oo's willin' ta go out ta coffee with me after seein' me with my travelin' beard an' the clothes I prefer.

[remarkablerain]

Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, huh.

I mean, Escher's pretty obviously a fake name, but I guess everyone has their reasons for not wanting to give that kinda stuff.

... Honestly, I hope this at least goes smoothly for you. You uh. Look like you could use it.

[azuremagma]

I'm doin' better than 'fore or after Brazil, if that's what ya mean.

Yeah, Iunno. My life shouldn't 'inge on shit like this. Ain't the end o' the world if this 'ole thing wit' 'er dun pan out.

[remarkablerain]

Well, panning out is something else entirely.

It'd just be nice to see something go, I dunno.

Normally, for you?

[azuremagma]

... I dun think that word 'as ever applied ta my life, Suguru. I 'ppreciate the thought, but, prolly ain't 'appenin'.

[magmaheart]

I do, 100%, no glaring or punches or armlocks have been needed

[azuremagma]

[magmaheart]

Alright, one glare.

Look, jokes aside, I'm glad you're not trying to drink yourself to death over various. We're in your corner, pretty much. For. Various reasons.

[greyerthanabyss2]

What should we do, should one of your exes show up.

[azuremagma]

... Iunno!

I 'adn't thought 'bout that!

[greyerthanabyss2]

Because I can bend them a new asshole if you absolutely want.

[azuremagma]

...Nah.

I doubt my ex would be dumb enough to walk in on this.

[magmaheart]

We politely, but firmly ask them to leave for one night. Comp their next meal and one drink.

If they wanna make a ruckus, I got it Kurochi.

[greyerthanabyss2]

Right.
