[UNICORN]

[when you open your eyes, you find yourself in a pleasant greenhouse. the sweet scent of flowers surrounds you, and the sun shining through the glass ceiling invigorates you from within. there are stone benches on which you can sit, and if you're hungry, there's a garden table with some refreshing tea and scones available to you]

[the voice– the good voice– echoes in your head again]

YOUR DESIRES. . . CREATED THIS REALM. IT IS YOURS. . . IT IS NOT TYPHON'S! I CAN USE THOSE DESIRES TO GIVE YOU A SAFE PLACE. . . FROM WHICH TO FIGHT.

BUT I CANNOT DEFEAT HIM. . . ONLY YOU CAN. ONLY YOU– WITH YOUR OWN DESIRES!! YOU CAN. . . RESHAPE THIS WORLD. . . HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE!

I don't make a habit of regretting.

Somehow, that’s not surprising at all.
commandress: (Before we're through)

[personal profile] commandress 2023-03-12 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt much of what I could say would surprise you. Should I apologize for being predictable?

[personal profile] vecna 2023-03-12 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all. I think it’s respectable that you don’t weigh yourself down with regrets. Even if I’m sure the opportunity has arisen more than once.
commandress: (But you can bet)

[personal profile] commandress 2023-03-12 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it has. But as we can see by this Warden's actions, the actions taken to ease regret in the first place usually end up being a problem.

Oh, I'm sure there are a few of us who more than make up for that.

[ Hi. Also there's a crow perched on his shoulder. This is fine. ]

[ y'all better keep an eye on your scones because there is a bird perched on the table, starting to nibble on them. who could this be? an interloper from yatagarasu??

this will lead to bonding i promise ]
commandress: (Did they send me daughters)

[personal profile] commandress 2023-03-12 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Which isn't going to help us, given we're meant to oppose regret.

What is that.

[ hi, bird. ]
striketwice: (047)

[personal profile] striketwice 2023-03-12 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there's an argument to be made that it will.

[ Knowing regret. Opposing regret. They can go hand in hand.

Alec cuts a glance at the bird on his shoulder. ]


Never seen a crow before?
commandress: (But a fire within)

[personal profile] commandress 2023-03-12 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen a Murkrow, but this is much smaller and different in several ways.

Oh. Right. Pokemon.

[ He should know better by now. ]

I guess you can kinda consider her my Pokemon partner, if that Pokemon was... made of magic?

[personal profile] vecna 2023-03-12 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Will it really.

Alec please control your bird-]


Don’t eat those.

[Tempest!!!]

[personal profile] vecna 2023-03-12 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. So better not to wallow in regret at all.

What actions do you take, then? You just continue to press forward, no matter the challenges?

...Can I pet it?

[ Looks at him.

Takes another defiant nibble of a scone.

You're not her real mom Henry. She does what she wants!! ]

[personal profile] luckful 2023-03-12 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm happy to help, however I can. I have a lot of regrets!

[ At least he sounds...enthusiastic about it??? ]

[ The human counterpart to the bird is nowhere to be seen for the moment, but she seems to understand Komaeda's question perfectly anyway. Leaving the scones behind for the moment, she hops over and bobs her head.

Pets please! ]

[Is he not, like, mom-adjacent. Surely that counts for something.

And honestly… she is just like a child.]


What did I say?

[The scones are scooted telepathically out of her reach.]
striketwice: (248)

[personal profile] striketwice 2023-03-12 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ RUDE? The most indignant caw.

Chases! The scones! ]

[ Good girl!!! He offers her gentle pets down her back with two of his fingers, careful not to overwhelm her. ]

Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your lunch. I didn't realize we had a bird on the team.

[personal profile] vecna 2023-03-12 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[THIS BIRD-CHILD

The plate of scones is floating up so Henry can grab it with his hands, holding it away.]


You can’t have all of them. Honestly, even Alec has better manners than you.
