[You know what is guaranteed to make a person freak out? Getting a totally normal text from your kid asking you not to freak out. What the FUCK happened? Is she hurt? Did one of the fae assholes do something to her? Did the Order finally make good on all their idle threats and do something to her? Did she get tied to this goddamn stupid Gate in some way? Did The Boy do something stupid? Sweet fucking Jesus, is she pregnant???!! Husk's already making his way to the training grounds.

He is definitely freaking out.
]

I'm not promising shit. What happened? You hurt?
wiseoldbartender: (Until the mornin' light)

[They are the absolute opposite of reassuring. He is the opposite of reassured. ]

THAT AIN'T HELPING LAPIS!!!

[What the fuck do you mean it's an injury but also not??? What does that even mean???]

Okay. Okay, fucking fine. I'll be there soon. Just hold tight.

[He swears to fuck if anything has happened to her, someone is gonna straight-up die tonight. He's not playing any goddamn games. Anyway, it won't be too long before he's at the training grounds, ears pinned back, looking stressed as hell and wishing he'd brought a drink with him. ]

[Husk really doesn't know what to expect. Any number of scenarios had raised and roiled in his skull as he was on his way to the training grounds. He's a hell of a gambler, but even he would not have bet he would see what had actually become of his daughter.

He would not have bet on this at any point.

Luckily for Lapis, Husk has plenty of memories of his past afterlife. All the strange forms Sinners have taken lurk in the back of his mind's eye. It takes a lot to rattle him- and this isn't even worth a shudder. Though it IS unexpected. He cants his head to one side, trying to... figure out just what the fuck happened.

New form or not, though, he can see she's freaking out. So, carefully, he raises his hands, palm down, before lowering them slowly in a careful calm down motion.

Well. That's new.

[The bird noise is confusing, but at least she can still text. He sloooowly looks at his phone, then back at her. Right. That... clears that up then.]

...You okay?

[That's the most important thing, right now. Priorities. ]

Did the fuckin' fae do this to you? They do shit like that. Cursing people. Or is this just... y'know, real badly timed past life stuff?

[ training had been... well, as good as any sort of physical training could be. He was slow to learn--the movements came natural to him, using a knife was something his past self was extremely good at. But the problem was how slow he felt. 'Sung Jinwoo' could move so much faster than he could; and therefore all of those skills that he could use felt like he was moving in slow-motion.

Which caused issues with him missing his strikes or simply ending up with his knife stuck in a training dummy...

He was chatting with lapis about possibly choosing a different weapon--maybe his summons could be his weapons for now, but.

...He can't be sure what it is he's looking at, now.

He's used to the way the air glitched when one of his screens showed up out of nowhere. How it felt unreal, to see data shifting in a natural space. And part of him wonders, as Lapis' form flickers and changes, he wonders if it's another hallucination.

...But it isn't. She makes a sound, her mouth opening and crackling--chirping, out a sound that certainly isn't language. Her skin looked like it held the cosmos, her eyes glowing like far-off stars.

The word 'stardust' comes to mind as he finds himself just. Staring, in awed silence as she panics.

Maybe it's just that he doesn't have room for more than three thoughts in his head at once, that he doesn't realise she's upset for the first moment.
Because he's having three separate conversations already going on in his head.

1. Am I just seeing this, is this fae magic, was it the mushroom stew I ate
2. Where did her legs go, is she going to fall, I should try to catch her

and the third?

The third he'll say outloud, as he reaches up to try to touch her, to make sure what he's seeing is real: ]


... Beautiful. [ ah, wait, that thought is being interrupted with a sudden wave of embarrassment. oh. oh my god. ] Lapis. Lapis? That IS you, right? [ Focus, dummy. ]

[The text thing is... odd, but fine, whatever, he can roll with it. A glance to his phone, then back at Lapis. His nose crinkles a little, like he's just caught a whiff of a bad smell.]

Upset? The fuck would I be upset about? Ain't like you can control any of this shit. It just happens. I'd be a real hypocrite if I started being weird about people changing from past life shit.

[What with the whole cat-bird-demon thing going on and all. ]

Is that what you were freaking out about? That I'd be upset?
wiseoldbartender: (Is a bacon roll and a cup of tea)

[personal profile] wiseoldbartender 2024-03-10 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[He watches her body language, brow furrowed because this is clearly, clearly bothering her. A lot. ]

I mean, yeah, it's pretty shitty timing, Kiddo. But again. not like you can control that. Way your messages about this shithole sounded, it always picks the worst time to kick-start something new, right?

[He looks her over again, titling his head this way and that as if he's weighing it up. ]

I mean, it's definitely fuckin' different. Fair enough to panic. But hey, least you can turn it off- so did your legs just... vanish or?

[He's HELPING. ]

[ he needs a moment. both to collect himself, and to take his phone out to read over the messages she's left for him. So she couldn't talk--that's fine, that's somewhat. Normal, maybe. He couldn't talk at first when he first turned into a crow, and had to learn later, so...

He's going to talk to her instead of text back. Lifting his head up to look at her again as he reads that last question.

The way the color of her face shifts and spirals with countless stars makes his eyes widen. He feels weird, wanting to ... touch her, but also not wanting to scare her any more than she might already feel. Is she like a ghost now? Would her skin be burning hot? Stinging cold? Space itself is like a cold, endless vacuum, so... ]


I meant it.

[ he's going to take very little time reaffirming himself. Nodding once--as stupid as it looks. ]

You... it's like looking into the galaxy, but watching it dance and move. There's something very beautiful about it.

...About you.

But. That's not important right now. [ is it ] What's important is--are you okay? Are you cold? Hurting?

Your--

Your legs are missing.

[He tilts his head as she reveals her legs and that's...]

...Well, that's something else.

[He folds his arms, trying to exude an aura of calm- to keep her on this downward dip to normalcy again. Or... normal as she can be given the circumstances. She needed to know this was workable- that it wasn't the end of the world or something she couldn't deal with.]

There you go, you can fly. It's...fuckin' different, but we can figure this okay, alright? I've got plenty of experience in weird bullshit like this happening- and I ain't going anywhere. It'll be weird for a while, but that ain't shit you can't deal with and you know that.

[She's stronger than she gives herself credit for. ]

[The good thing is that this sort of response is pretty much similar to how Ayato texts people himself, so there isn't too much worry on his end when he receives it.]

Of course. Is there any particular place you had in mind?

[Honestly, anything to take his mind off the past week or so helps him in more ways than one.]
wiseoldbartender: (All the steel)

[personal profile] wiseoldbartender 2024-03-17 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well. I know a thing or two about havin' to fuckin' adjust to weird shit.

[He gestures at his... whole-ass self. ]

You'll figure it out- and at least you can switch it off. That's somethin'.

[He grimaces at the mention of Teresa.]

...Yeah. Less she or the whole fuckin' Order know, the better. Doubt we can keep it from them forever, but... better play it close to your chest for now. 'Least while everything is fuckin' batshit with her around.

[He cants a head her way- he can see she's stressed about this.]

You good now?

It's okay--it's okay. I'd be panicking if I were you, too, right now.

But it's okay. So long as you're not in pain. [ he's not sure what to do with his hands, he wants to hold her, but he also doesn't want to make her uncomfortable, to crowd her.

He nods his head as she admits she's not in pain, and she feels okay. ]


That was my next question. Can you--move? Walk?

I remember the first time I turned into a crow--I couldn't change back for hours.

But I did change back. Which means we might. Just have to wait this out a little.

[ ...being positive? ]

We can continue our walk. See if you can get used to it...?
