[coherer]

I will I will
Thanks
I just need to cool off out here for a bit and have a few smokes

You guys are saying like creepily accurate things though seriously
How tf did you know she mentioned weapons?
She said she'd like
Make me one or something
That if she wanted me to die she'd make me a weapon
Or like make a weapon to get me with or whatever
I'm paraphrasing I'm worked up rn idk what I heard

[fessus]

Wtf is that supposed to mean?

Cain do you smth about it?

[blyat]

[He wars with himself for a moment, wondering if it would be better to keep to himself until he gets a chance to talk to Asa in person — but his concern for the situation and the awareness that if he's going to tell anyone, it'll be Jonas and Noctis, overrides any natural inclination toward secrecy.]

she asked me about nukes
and she was weird about guns the first time we met, said she'd never seen 'em before
maybe that's normal for her world
talked about a "gun devil" which doesn't sound normal at all though

i only got kinda bothered about it when she asked about picking between your own life and the lives of all the people a nuke would kill
just seemed weird 'cause she shut down right after that

[coherer]

Ummm okay
She said something about devils too but I thought it was just stupid filler?
This sounds completely bonkers
Does she have a fucking nuke????

[fessus]

Wait what's a nuke??

And if she's never seen a gun how does she even know the word, not even getting into the devil part yet

[coherer]

A nuclear bomb
It blows up via like fission or fusion or something
Like it splits atoms
The process releases a crap load of energy and it's totally devastating if dropped on/above cities
Wipes them out completely
Leaves the land totally irradiated and messes with the atmosphere
Some people think one could legit set the atmosphere on fire and kill everyone on Earth

tl;dr a bomb but way bigger and way more fucked up
They've only been used twice EVER in history and they killed over 200 thousand people

( says the boy very into military stuff )

[blyat]

[Glad that Jonas takes answering that question, since he wouldn't have explained it half as well...]

if she actually had a nuke i don't know where she'd even hide it
but people have weird abilities, right?
noctis you've got magic

[We haven't even gone into THAT yet.]

there's a fucking battle android here too
and reze is a literal human bomb

[...]

do reze and asa know each other

[coherer]

I'm sorry Reze is what???????????????????????

[blyat]

she's a bomb
tried to blow me up

then she blocked me when i asked about it
so uh, stay the fuck away from her

[coherer]

( ............

.........

............................

DEVASTATED )

[fessus]

[ The amount of information hitting him suddenly isn't something he knows what to do with. The description of that weapon alone, one that apparently Asa may or may not somehow be in possession of, is horrifying. ]

My magic isn't like THAT?

[ well ]

Is she a nuke too?? I thought she was just a weird girl, wtf is all this. They def know each other tho, they talk on the network

[blyat]

don't think so
more like a big grenade?
she said maybe she'd blow limbs off or something if we were next to each other

[Don't ask him about the neck hole. :/]

i'm gonna talk to asa

[coherer]

idgi Reze has been so nice to me
Not doubting you at all Cain I'm js she's been acting like totally buddy buddy with Noct and me
Now I'm starting to overthink our past convos like
The hints about not being a good person and crap

Are YOU okay??
Both of you?
I'm reeling

[fessus]

I'm thinking

[ More than he wants to be, about something which he might've considered less alarming than his friends are now. And that too is a revelation, one that perhaps should've been more obvious to him. Or maybe he just didn't want it to be, a bit too selfishly caught up in his current fantasy of normalcy with them. ]

Idk if you're gonna like what I have to say

But someone being strong/dangerous doesn't make them a bad person to me. Maybe not even killing somebody. Throwing that in your face is the asshole part, but idk her well enough to get why she'd do it

Ig I'm a hypocrite about it bc it's not like I want you guys around her after hearing that. And if you think they're problems then I trust that more

[blyat]

yeah i get it
i'm not that worried about reze trying to blow me up
i'm more pissed that she ran away and blocked me instead of explaining

[It's just... nothing he's ever seen before. So far beyond anyone's capabilities in his own world, but he's met aliens, so he knows his own thinking is limited. He's being forced to consider what else could be out there.]

just be careful, i guess
noctis you said you got the magic back recently?
then maybe you're not gonna be the only one

[coherer]

We were gonna watch movies together and stuff
And we were making fun of you about the fishing Noct
She literally wants shrimps to live on a dance party world

What am I supposed to think?
Like I just want us to stay safe and idk what to do here
I can't really do much of anything about any of this lmfao

I'm glad your magic's back if this shit is the case bc apparently everyone's nuts
You can keep yourself safe
And Cain's a fighter

[fessus]

Yeah

[ For a second it seems like that's all he's going to say, until: ]

Yk it's not just about keeping myself safe

You two are part of that. I'm not gonna let anything happen. W/e I can do I'm doing it. Maybe that's physical stuff, but maybe it's also talking to Reze too

[blyat]

[This is not the time to overthink Noctis including him in that protective proclamation, and yet...]

noctis talks to reze, i'll talk to asa

i don't think reze's that dangerous unless she feels threatened
if she tries to yank something out of her neck, though, get away from her asap

[coherer]

Thanks Noct
Seriously, you guys don't know how much it means to me for you to like
Give a damn about my safety lol
It's been a while

Anyway I totally trust you to be able to handle them but just lmk if you need any help?
I can do what I can
Reze and I get along really well, ik she and you do too Noct
No neck stuff
idk if I wanna know what that even means

As for Asa, Cain idek man
My ability to gauge that chick is seriously busted
I do not like her, she's an asshole
And now she's a crazy asshole so no loss for me
If she's your friend though then idk
Just be careful

1/2

[fessus]

Dw about it. No one's doing anything as a favor, it's bc you earned it

But I've got it, I'll watch my back

Either way no one said the convo had to be in person at first. If you get a weird vibe Cain you can lmk too, same here for me. I'll hyu if it gets weird

2/2

[fessus]

Kinda feels like the time to bring up smth else I wanted to talk about

When I got my magic back I also got my weapons from back home. I think you guys should hold onto one or two just in case you need them

[coherer]

Uh okay
Like mace or smth?
Or like a taser or

[blyat]

or guns?????

[fessus]

[ ........ what are these reactions ]

2/2 bet you didn't see that coming

[fessus]

Guns, sure

But if you want other kinds of machinery or lightning spells I have those too, it's not like I'm limited. It's just gonna save me a headache if you both have solid options
