Week 4

[airlockedmods]

[After everything that this case was, you probably don't want to deal with anything else. But you wake up on Sunday, just like before, with some new memories, and some new stores to check out.

Let's see what this week brings.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Don't forget to check in, and check your memory regains! You can also stop by the gacha machine and Xander's office hours. ))

[.....Pokes head in]

I-Is everything alright?

[nightcure]

Just-- dealing with something I never thought I'd see from home.

[ There is a metal bowl over the Hell Orb. ]

[tokencanadian]

[Oh, well at least no one is dead yet.]

Something from home, huh?

[Approaches, this time a bit more cautiously.]

Does it... have anything to do with that bowl?

[nightcure]

Sure does.

[ He pokes at it with his foot. ]

Ardyn and I have decided it's definitely fake, but I don't really want to look at it right now.

[tokencanadian]

It's that bad?

[Kind of... crouches down. squints.]

W-what did you think it was?

[nightcure]

Uh...

[ He clears his throat. ]

A plague.

[tokencanadian]

Uh...

[Scoots back]

A plague? Like... a virus?

[nightcure]

Yeah--from Ardyn's and my home.

It's not harmful, though. Like I said, it's a fake.

[tokencanadian]

[She noticeably sucks in a breath--

Oh, but it's a fake. Right.]

T-that's good! I hope it stays that way! From what I've heard, it's terrifying.

[nightcure]

He told you about it, huh.

... Yeah, it's not pretty.

[tokencanadian]

Y-yes, we had a long conversation that... brought it up.

[She steps lightly around the bowl.]

He spoke about it while I was telling him about the Grimm.

[nightcure]

... Yeah, I thought it might've. Not a fun conversation, right?

[tokencanadian]

I was surprised at first hearing that so many worlds didn't have the same problem that mine did... Now I know that some have problems that are just as bad. Like this 'Starscourge'.

[nightcure]

Yeah, it was... pretty bad.

What all did he tell you about it? Did he, ah... tell you how it could've been purged from our world?

[tokencanadian]

....No, but all he did tell me was that only a Chosen King of Lucis would be able to dispel it and end the plague.

[nightcure]

Did he... mention who the Chosen King is?

[tokencanadian]

Well... no, he didn't.

[nightcure]

[ hmm. ]

You're looking at him.

[tokencanadian]

[...Blinks. Then it hits her.]

You? You mean that you're... Oh my. [Pyrrha...]

You were really chosen to save the world?

[nightcure]

Yeah. Even before I was born.

[tokencanadian]

That's... [No, she thinks about this sort of thing, doesn't she? Her brow creases together with a frown as she speaks up.]

...I guess destiny has that kind of strange effect on people doesn't it? Still, I-I can't imagine it, Noctis.
