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 (►.◄)

[ His voice is a low growl, tight with anger. ]

Ah, the wages of mercy.

[ There's the sound of magic coalescing, crackling and icy. ]

When I am finished, none will remain.

Now you're talking.

[respired]

[ Koltira literally can't believe that some of their number are debating the morality of killing robots right now. ]

You'll join me again, will you?

[ofobedience]

[he struggles to understand that part, himself.]

Of course. Last time was fun, wasn't it?

[respired]

[ He shakes his head, muttering. ]

Only a diversion. As this will be, too, I suspect.

[ No blood in automatons. No heart for suffering, no nerves for anguish. Unsatisfying. ]

[ofobedience]

[Well, fancy that. A man after his own heart.]

No doubt. But it's better than sitting around, twiddling our thumbs. All work and no play, as the saying goes. Hahah.

[respired]

I cannot bear this stillness. If we could go now, I would.

[ All work and no play: he agrees. He wants to work. ]

[ofobedience]

Now there's a sentiment I can agree with.

[He would have left hours after arriving here, if he could have.]

[respired]

You and I are in the minority, then.

[ He shakes his head. ]

I find no peace here. No rest.

[ Nor anywhere, really. But especially not in a world so tranquil as this. ]

[ofobedience]

[it's becoming every more obvious to him, how little he fits in here. He'd thought for a moment that he could adapt, but-- well.]

Nor I.

[For slightly different reasons, perhaps, the cats having taken such a dislike to him, though even outside of that tranquility isn't something he knows anything about. The quieter it is, the louder the bleak and twisting thoughts in him seem to become.]

At least, in a fight, one is thoroughly occupied.

[respired]

No time to think.

[ Similarly, Koltira does not like to be alone with himself, particularly not since he is constantly surrounded by the living. His body demands things he cannot give; his curse always seeks more and more blood. ]

[ofobedience]

[His voice takes on a different edge, suddenly. Something a little more genuine, almost surprised--]

Yes. Exactly that.

[respired]

[ He cannot guess at Gio's situation, nor would he presume to do so. But he shuts his eyes briefly, just as surprised to find someone who isn't as happy with all the downtime as everyone else. ]

Well. It is heartening to know I am not alone in everything.

[ofobedience]

[Which makes him wonder, fleetingly, about this man in a way that he rarely does, makes him recognise him as a distinct individual rather than one of the faceless shades he tends to see when he looks at those around him.

There's a brief pause, and then--]

Yes. There's certainly something to be said for that.
