( maybe she's had one too many drinks when this post comes to mind, which is why it isn't as anonymous as she might like it to be.

... which is why it gets posted instead of deleted as soon as the words flash over the screen. )

ever think about how long we could be here? already been a year. living here pretending shit's normal. getting jobs. playing with magic.

forgetting who we used to be.

that a good thing? being separated from all that shit?

could be here for years more. become someone new. do shit you never thought you would.

( she's already there, just by having a business. how much further can this place push her out of everything she believed she was? )

[ There's a sound of a jug being pulled back from, so obviously Baiken was drinking, too. ]

I've got something to finish back home, but I've waited a long time to do it... If I have to wait a few more, it won't end me.

[ Another swig. ]

And if in the years of being on this path that lead me to where I am now couldn't change this walking corpse of mine, this place won't either.

[Well, talk about something that stings.]

i try not to think about iitt

where are you now

[More importantly, it sounded like Kate needed company.]

[morns]

Y'sure? ( Kate's voice holds the distinct slur of alcohol, but despite it, her words are clear. ) 'S already changed you. Gave you magic.

( ending up with power changes people, one way or another. )

the fuck are u drinkin that ur forgetting shit that easy

cuz thatd be fuckin nice

[ just having a normal one. meaning he's also drunk. sure is easier when your mug keeps refilling itself indefinitely. ]

[garyoutensei]

[ Baiken audibly shrugged. ]

Magic was already a thing where I came from. If I cared enough, I could have learned how to do this shit there, too.

[morns]

( she needs her brother. her brother who she was going to spend Christmas with for the first time in all too long before this place dragged her here.

but Avalon won't give her that. )

shitty bar.
you got better booze?

[morns]

a figure of speech dumbass.
shit's too nice here. don't have responsibilities. or a boss. 's easy here. don't feel like myself any more.

[ well. maybe saber does have some wine open. who can say. ]

... I am already not who I was, and this place has little to do with it. A new environment will always have that effect, if met willingly enough. It matters little to me if I am here for years—my life burned out two millennia ago, and this new one shall last millennia more, if Fortuna offers her favor.

As precious as time is, I have an abundance of it.

[morns]

Not in th' same way. Magic don't work th' same in different worlds.

( just because you can do the same things doesn't mean it's the same. )

[morns]

( that is a lot for the amount of shitty alcohol Kate has had. )

... Y'saying you're immortal or summat?

( is that a thing in Avalon? )

[colchismagecraft]

of course
im at my winery theres plenty of good drinks here

join me

[Christmas Eve was tomorrow, wasn't it...right now, she wanted her precious Souichirou. She knew Kate was likely missing people too- the ones she mentioned when they talked about their motivation for saving the worlds.]

[garyoutensei]

Magic's more ubiquitous where I come from, I'll give you that, but I didn't really need it there, and I don't really need it here. That's not the kind of shit I find worth worrying about.

[ Another swig. ]

But that's just me.

[umuperor]

... No.

[ nero takes a short breath. right. drunk. the very abbreviated version: ]

Before coming here, I was a spirit living in a virtual world. I could be killed, but not by natural causes. [ she lets out a breath. ] Here, I am a living human again.

[morns]

good.
give me a minute.
dunno if i can teleport like this.

( she's not going to risk teleporting into a wall or something, so she's gonna have to get a carriage over. )

[hitokiri]

fuck u

[ what is friendship if not insulting each other? ]

i can be your boss
go do work for me and then give me most of the money haha

not really..... wouldnt know what to tell anybody what to do. its easier not thinking
been over this peacetime bullshit since i got here tho
at least in chaldea we had all kinds of enemies who needed killing
never understood why anyone would drag me here for this




u can still give me all ur money tho

cw: death ideation

[morns]

( welp. that is a lot. )

Think I'd rather be killed. Seems easier.

( not the point, Kitkat. )

[morns]

Nobody needs magic. Makes things worse than it needs to be.

( personal opinions? on my avalon network??? )

[garyoutensei]

Where I come from, magic keeps the lights on, so I can't hate it, but it's hard not to see it as also being part of humanity's problems.

[ A drink, a lengthy pause, and her tone darkened some. ]

A whole war, over a century long, because someone got the bright idea to make magic-infused beings... and then turn them into weapons...

[morns]

fuck off.

( being her own boss is one of the best things to come out of this. )

no reason for it, is there? they'd get someone smarter if there was.

( like her brother, for one. )

got somethin planned for it.

( well. mostly she still hopes Marc turns up and she can support him while he adjusts. )

Kate...

[He's clearly concerned, from the furrow of his brow to the soft edge to his voice when he says her name. ]

Whose to say that is a bad thing? Becoming someone new... I have only been here a small handful of months and have done things I'd have considered impossible before, certainly. But learning to expand one's horizons need not mean forgetting who you were, merely growing beyond the goals that person you used to be thought were possible.

[colchismagecraft]

dont teleport if youre drunk
should i come meet you
which awful bar is itt

[itsjiaheng]

lol
just be careful what you wish for
like there's　waaaaay worse places than this to end up in for ??? however long
doing shit you never thought you would
etc etc
pretty sure my world is fucked either way so ??? might as well enjoy this

[morns]

People figured out how to make that happen without magic.

( then decided they needed magic on top of that.

... but. ah. that sounds incredibly familiar, doesn't it? )

'S no other point for people to have magic in their minds. Just another way to fight.

( better weapons to fight their wars. )

[morns]

gettin a carriage
its fine
be there in ten.

[garyoutensei]

It was supposed to help everyone. "Free energy". Limitless.

[ Another pause. ]

Jokes on us, I guess. Our weapons didn't want to fight for us... they wanted to replace us...
