newbie breakfast

[sancrimony]

Who: 3+1 babies + sensitIVs
Where: @ sensitIV
When: Day 172, morning

[ for those who have lived in sensitIV for a while, they'll wake up (if they slept) to the familiar smell of herb and butter bread: lucifel's probably the only one who uses the tandir oven but he uses it pretty extensively! there's also the smell of toasted cinnamon, which is actually fairly unique to today, but maybe it has to do with how cold it is, and if anyone ventures in the kitchen when lucifel's not there, there's guymag in a large pot available for anyone to have a bowl to warm themselves up with.

of course, for the newbies, those are all probably new to one degree or another. hey, where the fuck are you?

+ there's also a cottage probably somewhere around sensitIV, in some corner. every sensitIV will have gotten a text on the night of 170/morning of 171 to inform them that lavender is spending a few days with them, and that the cottage is hers, so it's not alarming to anyone except those who didn't get the text. which would be like, three of you, so, ]

[ --Oh.

Oh.

He- was actually not expecting that, at all, in the slightest. ]

[crystallinelore]

[It's Just A Lot

for a fun bonus his crystal is also shot through with black, with the color of the crystal bleeding red around those veins of mystery corruption.]

My kind aren't generally partial to being compared to cats, you see.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ .............................................But, the ears are cute. ]

A- Ah.

[crystallinelore]

[...waves a hand in front of his face. (the crystal one)]

Problem, Artemis?

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ --Clears his throat!! ]

--...And, they're real? You didn't ... stumble into an unfortunate AlcheME prank, and that's why you were hiding ... ?

[crystallinelore]

It isn't as though I've been outside these dorms, to stumble into anything like that.

[heavenlyvisitor]

I-- ...

... I see.

[crystallinelore]

[twitches his ears]

People like me are common where I'm from, I think. The crystal is far less heard of.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ --He glances away, and flushes! Cat ears... are cute!!!!!!! ]

Ah -- ... There are plenty of people here with corruptions you wouldn't normally see, so I-- ... Didn't quite settle on your crystal parts.

[crystallinelore]

Corruptions, is it...?

[heavenlyvisitor]

...

Though -

That means ...

... Mm, Noah-san? Would you follow me into my room, for a moment?

[crystallinelore]

[whoops, have I been seen

playing it cool, nodding casually.]

Whatever suits you, Artemis.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ He drags him back to his room, looking around to make sure no one has trailed after them to eavesdrop before slamming the door, and - ]

...You have your memories, don't you, Noah-san?

[crystallinelore]

[ah, yep, seen.]

You as well, correct?

[heavenlyvisitor]

...Please, please don't let them know that. I've--

... I've been here for long enough, but I've kept it from them that I'm an audition all this time. I - ... Mm- It's ...

Wouldn't they resent me, knowing I have further ties to hell ... ? Knowing that I'm a willing pet, that I'm polishing the strings that Asmodeus has threaded in my wrists ... ? And -- Not only them, but - The other Units, as well. I'm painfully unaware of the ins and outs of the political statements of the other Units. Knowing that someone is an audition ... that gives you power, doesn't it ... ?

I won't force you to hold it your own secret, just --

Please- Keep mine.

...Tenn. Kujou Tenn. That's my real name.

[crystallinelore]

[...sets a crystal finger against his lips]

Your secret is safe with me. I am... admittedly, perhaps too obvious just to look at, but I feel no need to even the odds in such a way. Even if I did, we are on the same unit. Putting you at a disadvantage is putting myself at a disadvantage. I have no reason to do that, and it would be difficult to give me one.

My true name is G'raha Tia, since we're sharing.

[heavenlyvisitor]

My corruptions aren't -- ... As obvious. My eyes ... shouldn't glow, as they do, and -

[ gently, he touches a hand to his wrist. ]

... I have easily hideable, but very ugly scars on my wrists and back that can't be healed or purchased away.

I-- ... Thank you. For keeping my secret.

[crystallinelore]

...Somewhat amusingly, even the crystal was mine before hell. I would almost certainly seem like an audition, even were it untrue.

[gonna pat oniisan's head]

You are welcome.

[heavenlyvisitor]

O-- Oi-!

[ bristles!! ]

Aren't I supposed to be the one comforting you--?

[crystallinelore]

I think that rail flew the coop when you begged me to keep your secret, my friend.

[patpat.]

But that's fine, isn't it? We are supposed to be supporting one another. It can be mutual.
