Stygian Gates: convenient, necessary for both inter- and intra-galactic travel, and a fine venture for people with Geists. Outside of that, they're not exactly...'the best idea', so to speak.
Our latest trip through--an effort to get to the Opiate Circuit in a timely manner--didn't exactly go...well. First some guy named Cyrus who speaks in plural and apparently destroyed Vanessa's home planet carved his way onto the ship.
Literally.
Suffice to say, he won't be getting that scythe back very soon.
And then, in the midst of all that chaos, the Underworld bit back at us, the unwanted occupants, with a spiteful vengeance. Hallucinations are no one's friend, especially not when they remind you of all the things you'd quite frankly rather not be reminded of.
...I'm to the point that I don't even know if I want to talk about it.
But we made it through, and that's what really matters. That, and I get to sleep a day away, which is nice. I'm fairly sure I'm not the only one who feels like hell.
The night after tomorrow we're all going clubbing; Nemo needs to find a contact, and the rest of us just need to let loose. I for one need to decompress a bit. But I get to teach Hobson to dance, first, which is exciting, at least.
Until then, I've got a ship to fix.

Nemo: Hey, if you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. We made it through, and that's what matters, right? We'll be at the club soon, so just sit back and relax, alright?
ReplyDeleteHobson: I wasn't aware that teaching me how to dance would be "exciting" for you...
Cyrus:...What do you mean, we won't get our scythe back anytime soon? We need it! And...wait, we don't speak in plural...
Veneer: I know, I know, you're right. I'm just stressed out, I guess, though I suppose we all are.
DeleteAnd yes, Hobson. It /will/ be exciting. Whether you want it to be or not.
Ah, right, Cyrus. Nope. No scythe for you. When you hurt Echo, it became personal. -___-
Nemo: True, that. And be careful with my little brother~
DeleteHobson: Nemo!
Cyrus: But...but...we're sorry...?
Veneer: ...Nemo? o.O
DeleteAnd you don't SOUND sorry. =_=
Nemo: I'll explain in a bit.
DeleteCyrus: We are! (Though we honestly don't /remember/ attacking your ship...)
Veneer: Should I be concerned, Nemo? I'm thinking I should be concerned...OwO
DeleteCyrus...I will acknowledge that you may not remember, but that does not change what you did. You're on thin ice, buddy. But we'll see if you can't earn the privelege of your scythe back, I suppose. =_=
Nemo: Don't you worry dear~
DeleteCyrus: Okay! We shall work hard to earn our scythe back! We shall not let you down~!
Veneer: I want to respond with ':0', but I'm feeling more ':T', to be honest... OwO
DeleteVeneer, I support not giving Cyrus his scythe back.
Delete(I'm sorry, Cyrus, but it's hard enough to tackle you without a scythe. And yes, you do speak in plurals.)
