hello my little sibs!! i'm afraid i have some bad news o(╥﹏╥)o

as u know our dearest oska is typically invisible to the bad guys!! this usually works out super well and in fact it still does but ... BUT (∩︵∩)

OK so

remember those slug people you brought back from your last mission?? the people with slugs in their heads i guess that is more accurate and sensitive. we managed to save a lot of them (▰˘◡˘▰) and that's good!! but then, before we finished, some of them got out!! and that's bad. they just slipped right out of our hands, like slippery fish

or ... slimy slugs ◔_◔

so they got free before their heads got fixed and THEN THEY WENT ON A RAMPAGE ヾ(ﾟдﾟ)ﾉ

long story short: cloaking devices disabled from the inside!! reinforcements called!! chaos!! madness!! lots of fighting for like,, the past week

(seriously it's been sooo bad lmao)

and, well, we need help! initially we shut it all down so that these nasty zymandis slugs couldn't call for more fucking backup AND so we could give the other teams a proper warning (like this one, lol) before we let you in again

so get your knives out or your spells or your swords or whatever cool thing you have in your armory bc it's time to kick some ass ᕙ(⇀‸↼)ᕗ

(mostly robot ass)

(but still)

we'll call you in soon, so finish up with all those cute kitties and get ready to roll out!!

CASSIE, OVER (►.◄)

I'm sure your healing abilities will be very much in demand, here.

[YOU CAN STILL BE USEFUL AND PRODUCTIVE, OLIVIA!]

[winces]

[ she quiets a moment. how to say that it never quite feels like enough, without discrediting all the hard work the other healers do...

so she doesn't say it at all. ]

Of course, I will always lend my healing to those who need it.

[ofobedience]

Well, there you are then. No doubt you'll be kept busy. Not everyone can be as fortunate as I am. Ha ha.

[It's supposed to be wry, but of course he's aware that may not be discernible over text.]

[winces]

Do try to remember your limits, Giovanni.

[ what's that? more scolding??

however, she does realize he'd actually. tried to reassure her here. ]

...Thank you.

[ofobedience]

You're making a rather large assumption in suggesting I have any.

[Bravado or teasing, who knows.]

But you're quite welcome.

[winces]

Everyone has limits. Even Gods.

[ofobedience]

Well. I don't know about that. But there's no need for concern on my account. I was made for this kind of thing, after all.

[winces]

Be that as it may... I would hate to see you die for it.

[ofobedience]

Assuming I can die. Sometimes I fear it's an impossibility.

[Though he probably can. Hopefully. But he thinks that - quite possibly - she's suggesting she likes having him around, and quietly he appreciates it.]

[winces]

[ obviously??? giovanni pls.

she caught that though... "fear." ]

Let us not be so eager to test this, then.

[ofobedience]

[Look. He's not used to having anyone care about him, all right?

And yes. That sure was a thing.]

There's no need for concern. I have no intention of finding out, here.

[He has one last thing he needs to do back there first, after all.]

[winces]

"Here"?

[ofobedience]

[It takes him a little while to respond, whilst he thinks of what to say. How to put it. Whether he should put it at all. Eventually, though--]

I have one last thing I need to do, back home. And that's all.

[winces]

[ she is not sure if that makes her feel any better... how final he makes it sound.

but she supposes if it keeps him going, then can it really be so bad? ]

I see.
I hope you find your peace with it.

[ofobedience]

[And it does keep him going, in a sad strange bitter way. At least until he finds something else, here. If he ever does.

Right now, at least, it doesn't feel like a real possibility, still so deeply entrenched in his own dark world as he is.]

We'll see, I suppose. If I ever get the chance to leave here, that is. Ha ha.

[winces]

I'm certain all our time will come, eventually.
In the meantime... let's do our best here.

[ofobedience]

Yes, indeed.
