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

[coherer]

Okay I do not want a gun or a machine or a lightning spell
Athank you
Hard pass
Give them all to Cain he sounds super excited

2/2 or THIS

[coherer]

Wait wtf is a lightning spell

[blyat]

i could use LIGHTNING???

FUCK YES!!

[also doesn't know what it means, doesn't care]

1/2

[fessus]

[ ....... what kinds of reactions are THESE?? ]

2/2

[fessus]

Wow okay

First of all it's not about being excited, it's self-defense and I'm srs about it. But if you feel weird I've got shields too that might be better for you

[ ...... trying to hold it in... failing....... ]

It's not just lightning yk

Try ice magic, or fire. Or combos of all three

[coherer]

I'm sorry I just like cannot see myself lugging a shield around
I will lose it instantly I'm serious
Don't give me anything precious that you like

I don't want to hurt anybody or set anyone on fire
It'll be fine I'll just stick with you guys and the camp
Sounds cool though Noct
Really
I definitely want to see what you can do

[blyat]

[He's incredibly excited to see what Noctis has available, but it's more important in the moment to address Jonas's concerns.]

just wanna make sure you'll be ok on your own
how about some basic self-defense lessons?
nothing crazy
no weapons

[fessus]

[ He wants to push. It's strange to be the one wanting to rush ahead when Cain is the one taking the gentler approach, an overbearing sense of overprotectiveness rebelling against the idea of Jonas remaining unarmed. Jared was unarmed, Talcott was unarmed, and he was supposed to protect them too.

But the balance of someone else here helps, shakes him from projection for a moment. ]

Okay. Lugging it around or losing it isn't gonna be an issue, so just think about it at least. But I'll let it go rn

Cain's right, it's not like there's not other ways

[coherer]

Then maybe idk
I've been in scraps
ik how to throw a punch and defend myself or whatever
99% of the time I'm running

I just don't like it lol
I'm not hurting anyone I'm trying to be a better guy
