[carbungle]

can i do both? like not @ once obv and if i get my ass handed to me then #2 is out but like

idk id feel shitty if i was sitting at home when ppl were fighting or getting hurt or maybe dying

cw: discussion of temporary suicide (???) in the context of Living Dead

[astralera]

Phase 1 will be an enjoyable fight, as Hades has offered to spar with Ardbert and I in his other form. Injuries sustained would be minor to moderate, and there will be opportunity for healing and recovery.

If anyone decides not to continue on to the second phase then they would leave at this time.

Phase 2 will then be initiated once I use Living Dead and deliver myself a fatal blow. My soul thus severed from my body, I will begin the assault upon Hades' soul and he will do everything in his power to stop me.

What I am trying to say is that if you assist with Phase 2 you will witness me kill myself, Noct. And then you will have to fight around my corpse until the battle is done.

I do not want to ask that of you, nor of your father.

[carbungle]

[Understandably, this response takes a bit longer.]

i

look im not gonna lie to you and say that sounds like a good time. but ur crazy if u think any of us could or would up and leave you like that

or if u think we could sit around at home knowing this is going on

thats pretty fucked up tho

[astralera]

What is pretty fucked up? Not wanting to ask for your help, or my plan?

[carbungle]

both i guess but mostly the 'have to kill myself' to do it

like what's the plan after?? potions don't rez the dead

[astralera]

I think it would be more fucked up to ask your dad to watch me kill myself.

I have the Echo. Living Dead will preserve my body at the cusp of death and I will be able to stuff my soul back into it.

[carbungle]

is this payback because holy shit not ok

my claim that thats fucked up still applies tho, maybe doubly so now that i know how it works

[astralera]

Payback? For what? You haven't done anything.

That I need to do this to remove Zodiark's claws from Hades' soul is the most fucked up thing I think.

But it will be fine. I am not going to really die. It's only going to be a little stab wound. Very small and precise. It will still look unpleasant, but I will minimize visual discomfort to the best of my ability.

I am also taking measures to minimize the inconvenience I will cause for everyone both during and after. There are only a few things left that I need to arrange.

[carbungle]

nevermind

u cant minimize it. you can pretend u are, but it isnt going to do anything. its going 2 b "unpleasant" for anyone who knows u.

if u keep ppl out of it theyll feel bad about not being here, esp knowing what happened. if u let ppl be involved theyll have to see it but at least theyll understand how urgent it is and work that much harder. one is better than the other

so just shut up and let us help

[astralera]

If you want to help I am not stopping you, but if you don't want to you don't need to.

[carbungle]

just tell me when and where, whenever its go time

[astralera]

I am planning for the 6th day of the upcoming month. It will be in the early afternoon. You will receive a message with further instructions nearer to the day.

[carbungle]

ok ill pencil u in

let me know if you need anything else

[astralera]

While it is not something I need, a spar with Estinien would be of benefit as well as something you both may enjoy.

At home there is no Dragoon alive that can match Estinien in combat. He likes pretending he's an unapproachable arsehole, but in reality he is a big sap and kind of a dork.

[carbungle]

o ya i could do that. im rusty with polearms but i can ask ignis if i can borrow his for a few spars, never hurts to be on the same page w/ stuff

sounds like he'll fit right in tho

[astralera]

Switch up your weapons throughout, and use your warping ability at least once. I think he'll enjoy the challenge of an unfamiliar, dynamic combat style like yours. It will also give him an idea of what to expect when we face Hades, so he won't be caught off guard.

I do hope he fits in. I am a bit worried about him.

[carbungle]

do what i usually do, in other words

at least hes got help. should i keep an eye out for him in town or just hit up his DMs like "hey fite me"

[astralera]

He is horrendous with technology, but if you send him a message I will make sure he receives it.

He is 6'8" with long, silver hair and pointed ears. He prefers traveling by rooftop and finding very high places to perch on. He is a bit like a cat that way.

[carbungle]

ok now we're fated 2 meet, clearly

[Cat man with a penchant for roof-perching? Yeah, their paths will probably cross.]

[astralera]

I'm quite sure the reason he likes high perches isn't because it makes him feel tall.

:)

[carbungle]

i dont want 2 hear short jokes from u!!

[astralera]

Is it because I am not short, just hug-sized? 🙊


And Noct? I need you to be incredibly discrete about my plan. If you need to discuss it with someone for reasons beyond mere tactical planning, please seek out your uncle and ensure no one else is nearby.

[carbungle]

perfect height for headbopping, maybe

[And then, a pause.]

i wont share details. wont bring up names or anything. but u know i have to tell her ill be in a fight if my life's in danger. im not gonna lie about that.

[astralera]

If you were truly risking your life I would not allow you to participate.

Your life will not be in danger unless you do something reckless, and even then Ardbert will minimize any damage you receive while Peki heals you. At worst you will be exhausted, bruised, and sore for a few days. My primary concern is for your emotional well-being.

You cannot tell her until five days prior at the absolute earliest, and you cannot mention any names or even hint at what is being done beyond a pre-arranged battle.

If you cannot agree then I cannot risk having you there.

[carbungle]

if youre worried about my emotional wellbeing then you should understand why ill have to say something

i agree to your terms
