Mine was certainly 90% physical, though it does sound like that's not the norm.

Did you end up fighting the thing again?

[psynchronise]

No, nothing like that.

[ he pinches the bridge of his nose, like he's staving off a headache. ]

I didn't even know Rynlan and Hana were there for... well. Ages. Basically until the end. We thought they were dead. We were literally out there trying to find Rynlan's body. Hana had been dead for a week.

[ he shrugs. ]

People that are definitely alive were dead, and people who are gone here were walking around like nothing had ever happened to them.

[teufelshund]

[ oof. ]

Well, I can imagine that was disorienting, to say the least. How long were you there, from your point of view?

[psynchronise]

No clue. We didn't really have a way of measuring time. Might've been a few minutes, might've been ages.

[ oof!! ]

Every time we broke out of one scenario, we'd get dragged into another. Literally, there were these things in the water -- they kept going on about how hungry they were, and how unfair it was we got to live, and then we'd be somewhere else dealing with something else.

[ ... ] I think I was in a flower shop at one point? And a police stat---


[ ...




yeah no. never mind. ]

[teufelshund]

[ a slight headtilt. ]

Hm...?

[psynchronise]

[ he waves a hand. ]

Don't worry about it. The last few situations were weird and kinda... bitty, because we were semi-aware we were being trapped in an illusion.

[teufelshund]

Seemed like kind of a big reaction for a "bitty" situation.

[psynchronise]

"Bitty" and "weird".

[teufelshund]

Does that have anything to do with how on edge you seemed when you first got back?

[psynchronise]

[ he frowns. but he also wobbles his hand and then frowns more. ]

The "watching someone I know get run through with a sword" part probably also had me on edge. Just saying.

[teufelshund]

Ah. Fair.

[ sips his cocoa. ]

Someone here or back home?

[psynchronise]

Back home.

[ he looks uncomfortable for a moment. ]

There were a few people from back home, actually.

[teufelshund]

...Well, I can see why that would have been rough.

[psynchronise]

Yeah. Like... negative five out of ten, I do not want to deal with that again.

[teufelshund]

Mm. Hopefully you won't have to.... though I'd sort of thought these little adventures were like one of those human viruses that you catch once and never get again, and apparently I was wrong about that.

[psynchronise]

Alas. There’s plenty of viruses out there you can catch a few times over.

[teufelshund]

Unfortunately!

[psynchronise]

… this is worst kind of thing to catch multiple times. But if it’s going to keep going, we still have until next weekend to wait for the party.

[ UH OH ]

[teufelshund]

One more week. Hopefully the immunity will at least last until then.

[psynchronise]

… And if it doesn’t?

[ … not a fun thought ]

[teufelshund]

That's the question, I suppose.

[psynchronise]

[ uuugggghhhh. ]

Guess we’ll see next week. There’s already been one lot of duplicates, so it’s already starting if that’s the case.

[teufelshund]

[ he nods, taking another sip from his mug... and shifts over a little closer to snuggle in. ]

On the bright side, the cocoa's pretty good this time, right? Hardly even spilled any milk making it.

[psynchronise]

[ oh ]

You did it from scratch again? Or did you use the microwave this time?

[ it is pretty good though. needed after what the fuck ever just happened to his brain over and over. he’s absolutely using mephisto like a leaning post at this point. comfy. ]

[teufelshund]

...Microwave. Could you tell?
