[Listless inside the main room except wait. Why is Man Eater getting held up at the snake pit? It's like all of FiN can't keep track of his complicated love life or something.

The second door opens with a snap of his fingers]

Seems like I need to make you a house key.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he strolls on in, giving Medusa a triumphant look before striding over to Intensity's makeshift "couch." ]

Oughta give security a VIP list, at the very least.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Drags Man Eater down with him. Is there room? Who knows. Guess he'll just be flopped on top of Intensity if there isn't]

I thought everyone knew you were VIP. My bad. I'll rectify this immediately.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ there's probably not that much room, so flopping on top of Intensity it is. fortunately, he's not very heavy. ]

Good, good. As a very important person, I hate being inconvenienced. Gyahaha.

[ then he reaches up to tousle Intensity's hair a little. ]

... Rough day?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wraps an arm reflexively around Izumu's waist]

Now I definitely know you weren't at the latest game.

Forced memory share. You get a memory for free, but also someone else's. And then you had to guess who it belonged to.

Two of ours got fairly traumatizing ones. I don't know if it's even possible for Angel to be traumatized by her own memories.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Ah...

[ inclines his head slightly ]

What happened in hers?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Apparently it was a memory of a dream.

But in this dream she lost her Kingdom. And as the person who experienced it described it "disintegrated in rainbow and gold confetti while people cried for them."

Don't know enough about the person who saw it to know whether or not it was actually not traumatizing or if she has a good poker face. New wizard. Student of the summoning arts.

1/2

[ disintegrated in rainbow and gold confetti... ]

[carnivorouscarnival]

Nn... I mean, it was just a dream, right? Probably doesn't have a sense of reality to it... I didn't even know we could get back memories like that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Perhaps only if the dream has some sort of significance.

[Still.

HE DOESN'T LIKE IT.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

. . .

[ huffs, tousling his hair a little more ]

Angel's tough. She's not going to let a nightmare get under her skin.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hair tousles him back.

Which is way more fun because Izumu has lots more of it]

Of course not.

But I also want her to process it instead of doing that thing where she'll realize it bothers her three months from now.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ huh, sounds weirdly familiar ]

... Maybe you should just ask her about it directly.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I will.

After she stops fussing over everyone else. Big sister syndrome.

[carnivorouscarnival]

No fussing for you today, or did you already get your share?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Perhaps just a little disgruntled. And yet somehow fond]

I always get my share from her.

...

What did you do that warrants a house warming present?

[carnivorouscarnival]

Why do you automatically assume I did something? That hurts.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That doesn't make me incorrect.

[carnivorouscarnival]

First off, I'm insulted that you think I'd stoop to apology food.

Anyway, isn't it customary to bring a gift when you visit someone else's house? Hell, if you come to our place without bringing something, it's grounds for getting stabbed.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is that the rule? Since when?

[carnivorouscarnival]

Since we started getting visitors, basically.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And how many days has it been since your last stab?

The general you - as in your unit. Or you specifically, if you prefer.

[carnivorouscarnival]

... Y'know, it's always Doodle who tries it, so I don't think we've ever had a successful attempt.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's a tough one.

You could give him pointers.

But think of the lost hours of entertainment.

[carnivorouscarnival]

I'd have to find a new way to make fun of him if he actually managed to kill someone.

[ technically he's already succeeded twice. but he can ignore that for the sake of this joke. ]

... Though on second thought, that wouldn't be too hard.
