... I don't actually know what half of those words mean put together like that...

[brotagonist]

Soooo it's not that? It's probably easier that way.

[sighs!!]

Then, how do I help?

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ let me SUFFER in PEACE ]

... could you bring me some water?

[brotagonist]

Sure thing. The stuff from the fountain is really good.

[gets up to go bring a glass; she can try fading out again so he can't find her when he returns, if she wants]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ noping out like that is an incredibly tempting thought... but not only would it be kind of a dick move to vanish on someone who would obviously worry about it, she's pretty sure she'd have a hell of a time getting back into solidity anytime soon with the way her everything feels. the water will at least help with that.

she's still there when he gets back— uncurled into an unhappy sprawl instead of a misery ball, even, though she's got an arm over her eyes like she's got a headache. ]

I did mostly mean someone willing and able to take action.

[ ...kind of eyeing his tail. snakes are cold blooded, right...? it's more than a little rude and improper but that is not curbing her desire to faceplant directly onto what are hopefully nice cool scales. nausea is bad. ]

[bosssfight]

The "able to take action" is the tricky part.

[curls himself up a little tighter, he's not liking that look]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ please, you have so much tail, she just wants a little,

respecting the defensive balling up though and letting herself faceplant back into the dirt instead. uuuUUUuuugh ]

I think we're most likely entirely out of luck there.

[bosssfight]

Then, we are stuck with griping.

[ghostfromthemachine]

Well, at least that will make us feel better.

...Hopefully.

I suppose we technically are. Though— assuming there aren't any other current claims, it doesn't necessarily have to stay that way~.

[ our city now? ]

Re: yato

[ OUR CITY NOW ]

I guess we'll have to see... There's obviously, you know, other gods--I wasn't here five minutes and I met you, but we'll just have to ask any others we run into if they belong here...

[ghostfromthemachine]

Of course. No need to step on anybody else's toes.

[nofamenolife]

Right. We don't want or need a turf war, especially when I'm unarmed.

[ghostfromthemachine]

...unarmed?

[ not that she's exactly in great shape herself, but that choice of words is mildly concerning ]

[ muttered ]

That's good, at least...

[ ...and then looks at him for several moments, huffs out a breath, and very deliberately faceplants back into the dirt. ]

[unguilded]

[ He leans in closer. ]

I'll take that as a no!

...

Do you have ... your memories, though? Otherwise?

[ghostfromthemachine]

My—

... as far as I can tell? Is there a reason I wouldn't?

[unguilded]

Just trying to figure out what's going on here!

It's ... a common occurrence, where I just came from.

[ghostfromthemachine]

... well. Now I'm going to be wondering if I'm missing things without realizing it, so thank you very much for that.

takaya abe

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ from here ]

...Ah. That hadn't... actually occurred to me...

[ maybe she shouldn't? it isn't as though she physically needs food... ]

[crossedsignals]

[just assuming she's coming at it from the perspective of "oh yeah, where ARE we gonna get food" and nodding, ugh]

...Yeah. But still, it's fine. We'll do better exploring and finding other resources if everyone's feeling steady instead of sick.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ well he's not ENTIRELY wrong

making a faintly reluctant noise in the back of her throat before picking up some of the rice ]

...If I find anything, I'll be sure to pay you back.

[crossedsignals]

[nods]

Okay. Ah... my name is Takaya Abe, by the way.
