Who: Hydracula, visitors
Where: Angerdome
When: Day 200, post WHAT WAS THAT!!!
What:

[Eventually Hydracula makes it back to the angerdome and promptly barricades themselves in (unless they went to Vulpecula dorms, perhaps). It is then that the most important question is asked:]

. . . Is everyone okay?

	You could use some clean cloth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A more difficult endeavour, given the heat of the water and permeability of the cloth. [Takes a spoon instead, and places a pair of their simple mugs on the counter beside the pot.] As for Watanuki, perhaps it would be best to speak with him later, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	. . . Next job we get, we'll ask for something better. Do you want to come with us when we go by there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Pours the tea carefully, the back of the spoon directing a thin clear stream into each of the cups.] As odd as such travel may seem, I would not mind. What kind of job? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[huh :\|a watching that idly, half expecting it to start spilling] It depends. River gave us one to play a prank once, and the last one we got was to ride the death bird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you pardon me saying so, that seems rather much for a tea strainer. [It's certainly not fast, but discomfort with the floor aside, his hands are sure.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2010-12-27 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	It is. The death bird one got us a lot of really useful stuff. Guillotine got his own weapon back for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would prefer that no life-endangering activities were undertaken for this. I will find something else to make do. [Sets the pot down, and hands one of the mugs to Scowl.] When it's cool enough, drink this. Until then, the aroma alone will be soothing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't worry, we won't do anything that stupid just for something to strain with. [takes the mug and breathes in the steam] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readbytwilight 2010-12-27 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	The fact that you refer to it as such leaves me some measure of hope. [Picks up the second mug himself. Something in the aroma is reminiscent of green and living things, soothing if slightly strange.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You shouldn't worry. We don't like being laid up like that. Hey, what'd you put in this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readbytwilight 2010-12-27 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Scarlet mira, bramblefoot, dusk's ease, sweetpoint and while I was surprised to see it, a few petals of sunflower. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2010-12-27 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	Sunflower? There must've been some growing under a torch . . . . . . Can I ask what you thought about everything we just saw? Not just the First Game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Memories of the game are vague at best. I do not think I was truly there, much as what impressions reached me would indicate I was yet in some way present. There were no others around me. Caught between memory and form, there was only darkness.

. . . of the rest, I am still unsure. Regardless of whether or not I was the one acting within them, those memories are yet my own. And in them, in retrospect . . . I wonder, now, if a great wrong was done against that which we most wished to protect.

	Perhaps more simply, our part of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	. . . Yeah. It and everything else up there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even when I left the swamp, there was little left to save. Deep sinkholes had already become little more than dried mud. I felt the death of the swamp, shortly before my own. When even the first of the library's floors had been taken by the sun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You felt it? —You—no, Vade died? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is the point where those memories end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The books were here. And the Maiden's presence. All that could have been preserved was. His life was not something that could be so saved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izbucnire wouldn't have believed that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nor did he. Neither did Fang or Spar, to the extent that they tried to begin the marsh anew underground. (Reply to this) (Parent)
