( surprise! a gift has been left on one of the windowsills of van's home, with a little tag attached to a ribbon that is wrapped around the top of a brown sack.
inside... a few loaves of bread. freshly baked, and coincidentally it's almost like he's been waiting for the best time to leave them with van noticing.
and then he flies away, leaving a few blondish-green feathers behind. )
backdated to modranicht if it’s okay if not just ignore!
[In addition to the usual package of cookies and tea she’s been sending to every Mirrorboud, Marie’s gift for Vanitas contains a woolen sweater and a handmade scarf. She might know that Vanitas is properly taking care of himself now but she still feels protective. Forgive her!]
Mira was one of the lucky ones that she managed to not get in that sticky mess but she knows her boys did lend a hand to help. Which is why she's behind Vani and holding a cookie to him. Look, food sometimes helps.]
[That's what parents do, right? Offer food during a potential rough time?]
Thank the Abyss but even so. Although would it kill the powers unknown to not try and set this place on fire so to speak for just a moment? But I suppose it's a step into solving the original problem this world is facing, huh.
[ Yeah, and he's going to take that cookie and munch on it a little. Mira definitely knows how to best reach Vanitas. ]
If it's a step closer, this world needs a lot more help. It nearly burned through everyone that helped out. Dealing with something like that on a bigger scale?
[ Vanitas shakes his head. He doesn't know how they'll manage. ]
More like a lucky shot. If that's the case, it makes me wonder if whatever called us here will try to summon more. Or mayhap try to get other areas involved. World's a big place after all.
[Because it sounds like right now, they would all be royally fucked if it happens again. Not when folks are recuperating.]
Because of too much Light. Despite what some people say, not all Darkness is bad. Need a balance otherwise to be frank, the world would be fucked.
[Mom dropped the F Bomb but she doesn't care.]
The First was close to a Rejoining, what Emet-Selch and the other ascians wanted but not only would that destroy the entire star but cause a calamity on the Source. So the situation with the Cwyld feels familiar, yes.
[ Well Vanitas would always argue that a balance is needed. That's why he so desperately wants his own Light to go alongside the Darkness that he is. Out of everyone from his world, he understands the balance that is required. ]
I remember that part too. The Source needs to lean the opposite way that a Shard is.
[ It makes sense... Create a need for them to cancel each other out. Too bad it just about kills off everyone in the process when a merge happens. ]
So what do you see the solution here as? There's no Rejoining here. Just a disease.
[Mira has to think on it. Mainly because what all do they know? What can kill this disease and won't nearly kill those trying to destroy it.]
...go further. As in possibly travel away from here and not to where we have been before. We haven't heard much from what we can do from here and there's no ideas being offered.
Only problem is that I do not know what direction to go in.
Look, people around here aren't too helpful either. They really are disconnected from the entirety of the world they live in. Leaving sounds good, but we have no idea what's actually out there.
Yeah, I'm not lost on that feeling. Been like that for some time now.
[It's like wading through mud about chest deep and moving very slowly. That's the best way she can describe it.]
Better than just sitting around and doing nothing. The only reasons I give a damn what happens to this star is because this disease may spread to other worlds and it has you and Sora on it. I'd do anything for you two and that includes trying to figure out what else is going on here.
They have plenty of heroes and already one Warrior of Light. I doubt they'd mind if one goes off to figure out what else is out there.
