[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]

[There is no text, but a knocking on Future is Now's door.]

[Levity opens the door; still masked and looking quite... exhausted, because he sure had a busy night. But at least he's stopped melting and his head doesn't hurt. Thank god for hangover cures.

But he does look surprised at the visitor.]

Oh--Hades. I confess, I was not expecting you to make good on your promise this quickly. Or is there some other reason for the visit?

[Also! Clap-claps his hands to dim the lights somewhat. Isn't he a good friend who remembers your corruption.]

From:

firstworldproblem

You were melting. Does that not warrant a morning check up?

[He nods in thanks and steps inside.]

You look terrible. How is everyone else?

From:

weenwoon

[Uhhhhh good question.]

Jason's sleeping it off, Arya... is with Sabre, I believe. Her wife. As is Noctis--that is, he is with his wife, not with Sabre.

[He sighs, running a hand through his hair.]

Thankfully, I seem to have stopped melting, though some... aftereffects linger. But I don't need sensitIV's attention every half an hour and Skylark was kind enough to bring us some hangover cures. I could have been much worse.

From:

firstworldproblem

I am glad you are faring better. Though I am still impressed and appalled you found yourself in such a situation.

[He pats his shoulder.]

Can I get you anything?

Edited Date: 2021-02-27 11:44 am (UTC)

From:

weenwoon

[He shrugs slightly. Haha no big deal he hasn't been thinking about how terrible it was or anything]

I'm not certain if impressed is a good word here... but it was simply bad luck. The other half of my unit made it out safely and that's all I can really ask for.

[Get him anything, though... Levity squints thoughtfully.]

I... don't know. Food and drink are, er, perhaps not the best thing right now...

From:

firstworldproblem

Then how about a puzzle to occupy your mind? Though it would require a change of venue.

From:

weenwoon

A puzzle, hm? That does sound interesting, especially given the "change of venue".

From:

firstworldproblem

Just a bit of fun.

[He takes off his coat and hands it to him.]

Shall we?

From:

weenwoon

[...well. He'll put the coat on, actually. Is this what you wanted? Now it is.]

Another foray into dreams?

From:

firstworldproblem

Not quite.

[That works! He doesn't have a car or a flying pegasus so he's taking them by subway to the arcade. Specifically the section with the game machines for idol merchandise.]

Somehow I guessed you would enjoy getting plushes and trinkets of your friends. That besides I did promise you answers and am cagey besides so for ever successful attempt I will answer any question of yours.

From:

weenwoon

[Holy shit... Cute. Levity can't help grinning once he sees their destination.]

My, how sweet of you! I might just end up with a collection of your merchandise.

[He makes a show of cracking his knuckles.]

And to make it fair... Shall we say that I will only cheat once every five tries?

From:

firstworldproblem

I'm wounded you would cheat at all, but I suppose I could concede to that.

[He leans against one of the machines.]

I also imagine you can get gifts for Future is Now.

From:

weenwoon

But the purpose of the 'game', as it were, is to make best use of my skills, yes? Otherwise I am simply relying on dumb luck. Unit abilities and their usage fall under the skills I have. Ergo, it is positively wrong of me not to cheat.

[But yes, he can start! Is it one of them crane game dealies.]

Oh, I imagine Sho-senpai and Angel would be happy to get merchandise of each other, though I would not be surprised if Sho has a collection already. And I can get Jason something of Nero... Though I imagine that will only lead to my untimely demise. Something of Jason for Nero, then.

From:

firstworldproblem

[He can't help but laugh.]

Yes, yes. Why do I even try to argue with you?

[He does tsk.]

But now would be the perfect time to take the most sour of your unit and bestow upon them gifts. You can use your current situation to your advantage to get away with more than you could normally.

From:

weenwoon

Because you find my repartee amusing and possibly charming?

[Anyway, he'll genuinely try to play the game for now, without using his abilities, just to get the feel of it.]

Well, to tell you the truth, that is the plan. Lucifel suggested buying a room for Jason - a smoking bar, in fact, so that it's suited for both of us and is not glaringly for him only. I'm asking Nero to help me with planning and decor. But, you see, Jason is a private person and I do feel he might get genuinely upset if I bring up his relationship too much. He was already quite surprised to learn that I knew.

From:

firstworldproblem

[Try your best, Levity, to get a cute plush FiN. Perhaps it will even come with a glow stick.]

Truthfully, I do not know the man very well, but getting him a place his own does seem a step in the right direction. Especially if he is not one to purchase one for himself.

Though have you thought about what kind of upgrade you would like? There is no reason that both of you can't be spoiled.

From:

weenwoon

[Glowstick!! He's going to try for an Intensity one, while they've still got them. RNG says he doesn't get it this time!]

He isn't one to take care of himself much, yes. Nor letting others do so, but I'm certain Nero has plans of his own in that sphere and I'm ready to assist.

As for myself... I'm still waiting on ideas for my own bedroom, though I confess styling it after our Bureau might be fitting. At the same time, it might be best to wait until I remember what my own lodgings looked like. But I certainly have several projects for new expansions! There's the winter house, but Lily has already claimed sponsoring that one. Zero-gravity library I've handed over to Sho-senpai, but there's still the aquarium room, planetarium and music room that I'm looking to add. A laboratory or workshop of my own as an addition to my room might be good.

From:

firstworldproblem

[He can't help but laugh, amused and fond.]

Already a list that can hit the floor. I shouldn't be surprised. When Cosmo first arrived, he had quite the list as well.

But tell me about this winter house.

From:

weenwoon

Ah, it's a place that Lily takes me to when she's looking after my dreams and I have nightmares. I don't know if it is a memory for her, or something created on a whim...

[He pauses, putting a hand to his chest.]

I am inclined towards the latter - the first time she used it was when I dreamed of... flowers, growing inside me. I imagine she wanted to take me somewhere that would be removed from such imagery, and a cottage in winter seemed to be the thing. A place of safety and comfort.

From:

firstworldproblem

How thoughtful. If you want cozy sweaters and thick layers, I recommend SensitIV. Though it seems you are already good friends with Lucifel.

And I am sorry that you've had to suffer so much in such a short amount of time. Would it be more towards the holiday season, I'm sure you could have found snow themed idol merchandise. Perhaps there is a clearance section somewhere.

From:

weenwoon

Lucifel is very kind, though I do wish the reason for us bonding had been more pleasant. And I would take this chance to once again gently reprimand you for your staunch refusal to be a bridge between me and Ardyn.

[Yes he WILL keep shaming you for that, Emet.

Also RNGesus decrees he gets the plushie this time! It's of Intensity. This one's going to Angel for sure.]

Ah-ha, I believe I am now entitled to a question.

From:

firstworldproblem

Is it really so gentle?

[He makes a lazy hand motion.]

Ask away. That is the point of this while the prizes are a nice boon.

From:

weenwoon

I may have been sarcastic there. We shall never know.

[But, hmm, question... He turns the plushie over in his hands.]

Then once more I would posit the question from yesterday, the one that you dodged perhaps not the most skilfully but admirably earnestly. [Did you miss his insults, Emet.] You say it's your own cowardice that made you avoid me. What are you afraid of in this context, then?

From:

firstworldproblem

You've never been shy with your opinion, skillfully said. No need to start a new trend.

[He looks at Levity then back at the machine just for something to focus on.]

No doubt you've already concluded that our past holds an despair so terrible I can scarcely put into words. A broken star, a lost home. For a thousand, thousand lifetimes, we have tried to reclaim what was lost.

Would you agree with my methods? Perhaps. Perhaps not. But I have taken others into my confidence before. Those whom I loved, admired, and thought the world of. And in the end they struggled to not hate me for it.

If you were to say the same I'm quite certain my heart would not survive it.
