WHO: Takame and The Network
WHERE: … The Network
WHEN: Late August
WHAT: New person giving the Prophecy!
WARNINGS: Mentions of his kidnapping earlier but nothing detailed

[The feed opens up to a rare face on the network, Takame in all his glory. It’s probably pretty well known that he was one of the victims of Krusnuk’s kidnapping earlier this month though despite that he looks pretty put together. Or rather, like someone who put in extra effort to look together. A little bit of makeup goes a long way.]

Good afternoon. For those who do not know of me, My name is Takame Kesi. Some of you may be aware of the… incident from earlier this month with Krusnik. I must extend my thanks to everyone who came to the rescue of myself, Rose and Ser Vittore. I am doing what I can to recover, however that is not the reason I speak today.

I am one of Kaisou’s seers as of a few months ago and I am here to report on what we may expect in the next month.

[There’s a long pause as he shuffled some paper around. He was clearly well prepared for this, but he really spoke like giving a debrief instead of just talking about it.]

Three of Cups Upright. Coming together, community and other such things of that nature. A Full Moon, no further context provided. [Off screen, his tail twitched in agitation. Moon’s Haunted…] Fresh Mutton, little context provided as the focus was on the mutton.

Jousting, no further context. A song about a reading rainbow? Unfortunately, I’m unsure that I could recite it properly. And… someone’s voice. Identity unknown, I only heard the words “World… forget me…”

[He set his notes down with a nod and a light sigh.]

That concludes my report. As always, much of it is disconnected…

More stuff about the Moon doesn't exactly bring me a super large amount of comfort.

Where I come from we have Five moons and they aren't half as weird as this planet's one...

[hoshikiri]

I am not fond of it myself. My experiences with the moon, both in this realm and my own, have never been good. 'Tis all the more concerning that it was full and we've nothing more to go off of than that...

[THE MOON IS HAUNTED, VASH.]

[doubledollar]

I remember Jun saying something about people turning into werewolves during the full moon--and I know another person who turns into a wolf...

[ he thinks about jun and varian turning into big... dogpeople... ]

Wonder if it's gonna' be some sort of supermoon. What if we all turn into dogs. Oh no.

Takame? I had no idea.

[Were if anyone else, she probably wouldn’t bother to respond. But, well, Takame would probably like to see her face. To see she was safe. And she has other pretenses to make it less obvious.]

Fresh mutton? Surely, that means this month must be calmer, correct?

[hoshikiri]

It has not felt relevant to bring up in previous conversation...

[But seeing Rose's face much better off than the last time they spoke did bring a slight smile to his face. She was improving, recovering. That was all he needed to see to feel much better himself.]

Mm. It seems that way thus far, however the words spoken as well as the full moon make me rather uneasy.

[poisontippedcure]

Yes, I can certainly see why that would happen. After what we witnessed in our homeworld, I've felt uneasy looking at the moon on a good night.

And the face it has is absolutely grotesque.

Reading Rainbow was a kid's show about books. Like, going into stories and stuff?

[Look, he will provide context because sometimes he can HELP. ]

I-dee-kay the rest sounds like it's probs fit into a kids story aside from that spooky ass last pat, buuuuuut I doubt we're gonna be dropped into a kid's TV show. So who the flunk knows, honestly.

[hoshikiri]

I see. Does it have a song associated with it, by chance? Perhaps it was the same...

[Don't ask him to sing the whole thing because He Will.]

Is it possible to be dropped into a Television show? I've never considered such a thing. [Takame.]

[bebest]

Sure does, it has a theme song. Something about uhhh butterflies in the sky? It's been a while since I heard it last.

[This is not him admitting to being old, naturally. Or saying it's been a significant number of decades between now and when he was a kid. No no. It's just been a while since he HEARD it. That's not the same. ]

I mean, maybe??? I wouldn't put it past the batshittery of this place to do that? Maybe it's some kinda medieval story? With all the jousting and mutton and whatever. That's some Chaucer stuff right there.

Hello, Mr. Kesi!

Thank you for doing the report this month. I hope you're feeling better.

[Souta likes hearing from August, but adding new faces is also good.]

Mutton and jousting... Maybe a renfaire will be in town?

[hoshikiri]

'Twas no trouble at all. And Takame will suffice.

[He wasn't one to stand on formality with himself or unless someone was in his class. And even then reluctantly. He tilted his head.]

Ren...faire?

[keyofelde]

It's nice to meet you, Takame! I'm Souta.

[A rather cheerful greeting for tidings of future problems. But hey! The visions don't sound so bad this time!]

[And someone's gotta be hopeful around here.]

That's short for Renaissance Fair. They are outdoor festivals that celebrate European history through reenactment. There's often some fantasy elements mixed in too. Either way, there include plenty of craft stands, costumes, food, and performances. Jousting or other duels are pretty common shows!

[fionnuisce]

we're just all collectively ignoring the creepy haunted voice then

[hoshikiri]

Eventually it will come to light on its own. Between the voice and the full moon I am concerned. I was the one who heard the voice in a dream and it was chilling.

[fionnuisce]

It's strange that most of it sounds innocuous outside of those two points. Not that it is all necessarily harmless, to be clear, but only one or two facets sticking out as alarming concerns me.

first people tell me magic is real and now im supposed to believe there are people who can see the future--albeit kind'a shiftily--and that your brain is haunted.

that's fun.
you people are wild.

[hoshikiri]

[Completely genuinely:]

You must be new.

World... Forget me...

Seems something strange to ask.

[hoshikiri]

I thought much the same, and it was difficult to discern a tone or reason why it was told. More often people beg to be remembered than forgotten.

["Remember that we once lived" will never leave him. Maybe it was because of those words that these resonated more specifically with him.]

[ornamentals]

when you receive these visions do they come to you in dreams?
or is it random?


you seem better now.

[than when he last saw takame at five guys...]

[hoshikiri]

For myself and some others they come in dreams, but not everyone. It can come in visions or through using Tarot cards.

I am better. [Than he was at least. He was still very much on the mend, but he didn't want to admit that publicly.]

[unreachableside]

[He'd been warned about people turning into dragons, and also told about seers, but none of that prepared him for seeing a whole ass dragon person on the network.

Not only that, but seeing him, those cool green eyes and the horns coming out of his head, it—it beckons to something.

Something dark. Something buried.

His voice is so quiet, Takame would be forgiven for missing it at first.]

Vidyadhara...? You are... no, you couldn't be... Those eyes. So cold.

I remember.

[His head hurts. His whole body hurts. He isn't sure if this is new pain or a remembered pain, but it is pain, like liquid fire in his veins.

Blade does not sound well. Despite the obvious agony in his breathing, he. Laughs? It is a dark chuckle and hardly kind, and it ends in a pained wheeze.]

Who was it? Who was I looking for?

Who are you?

[I AM SO SORRY TAKAME]

[hoshikiri]

Hm? [No, Takame couldn't pick up on the voice at first. Just a mumble until the laugh came out to which he scowled, immediately being put on edge.

Still, he kept himself in check and responded calm and collected.]

... Kesi Takame. That is my name. I do not recognize yours, nor your voice.

[Jun hadn't come to this post right away because he'd been busy studying POKEGO material. When he finally got to it, he was just about to comment praising Takame for a job well done when he sees...the chat log just before him.

Uh. Yikes]

Is everything going okay...?

[hoshikiri]

Everything is fine for the moment...

[He is so fucking tired, Junnifer.]
