(Plz ignore the pricing on these items, rem definitely can’t afford luxury gold/silver/gems; it’s more about the design! She's been working at a cat cafe ok)

Action; 01/14 Day before Nogard leaves Avaleci, & the Phantom Moon is preparing to leave too

[yuezun]

[Rem receives a summons to the Captain's Office. The sailor that brings it says the Captain says it's urgent.]

[vermilloci]

[ Good thing she's back on this ship for the time being.

Rem knocks on the door, waiting for permission to enter. ]

Dreams Submerged in Drowning Shadows!

[yuezun]

[Daqiang bids her enter and is waiting for her in front of the long expanse of windows at the back of his office. In front of him is the lone orchid he's been nursing a and next to the orchid is a frost flower potted in a wide-brimmed basket with a handle off of which hangs an ice crystal to keep it as cold as it liked to be. On the other side of the orchid is another plant in a smaller pot. It hasn't bloomed yet, but it's definitely a flower of some sort. It's leaves broad and very dark green, it's stem with several unopened buds short and stocky.

He is touching one of the long, skinny leaves of the orchid as she comes inside and shuts the door. He waits in silence for a few minutes more.

Then he lifts his other hand where the sleeve has been down turned enough for a dark purple bruise to be seen.]

[vermilloci]

[ She stands in silence as he attends to the flower, remaining that way up until he lifts his hand, revealing the mark up it. A small gasp escapes her, her hand going to cover her lips too late to conceal her shock. ]

The curse...

[ And it looks bad. ]

[yuezun]

[The gasp earns her a sigh as he lowers his hand back down, moving to pull his sleeve back into place as he did so. Covering it once more without looking like he'd made any attempt to hide anything. His usual sleeves that came to peaks at the back of his hands made that easy enough.]

Correct.

[A pause and then an admittance:]

This venerable one attempted to trace the source of the curse by entering the dreams of one of those afflicted. When the dream ended, this venerable one also found himself cursed. It has been five days.

[He didn't sound worried, his usual bored tone unwavering.]

[ramuhs]

[No context, just a little something that Cid was gifted and is going to share with everyone. Thank Cloud for this.

please send to the rest of the crew and LET'S MAKE THIS SPREAD]

[vermilloci]

I don't really understand.

But this made me smile. Thank you, Cid.

[ramuhs]

Just a little odd humor, no need to think too much about it.

But I'm glad you did. One of the only ones who seemed to enjoy it.

[vermilloci]

He’s cute, he is! That little red hat is adorable.

How did you ever find this video?

Here Not Here - Backdated to around/after Jan. 11th

[heir_conditioned]

Shoto doesn't have many people he knows here, and it's taken him a while to figure out how to get all the things he's wanted to where the other side is concerned. At least with a few of them he knows where they live (ominous?) and unfortunately for Rem, she'll have to rely on what constitutes the postal system.

It may mean a few of the attempted cookies were cracked, which may be a service to them. Their edges are very brown, very... well cooked, or that the letter inside is a little smushed, but he's done it anyway.

Good morning, or afternoon. Possibly evening, Tokimiya.

I decided this year for my birthday that I would give everyone else who I know something. I tried to bake these, but I have been banned from our kitchen so I had to improvise.

Thank you for helping me last week. I was able to reach a personal goal because of it and hope that this is going to convey my gratitude.

I would gladly fight along side you again, or maybe we could visit somewhere together some time? There's neutral grounds we should be able to meet on.

Sincerely,
Shoto Todoroki

[vermilloci]

Dear Shoto,

When you decided to tackle that jellyfish angel with me, I was happy! Because seeing you fight reminded me what it means to give one's all against an opponent, but also be mindful of how our abilities can impact the environment around us. If I'm ever as strong, I hope to be as responsible, brave, and dedicated as you. I'm so glad to have met you, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Btw, the cookies were delicious. I ate almost every last one last week.

Have a wonderful day,
Rem Tokimiya

→ continued from here

[It had been a harrowing day. Not only having to fight off that fire horse, but discovering that Rem was using souls and planned to use them in that relic she was trying to make her strong... Not to mention that she had died in her world prior which is what instigated this entire thing. Yet he knows that's only scratching the surface of this giant iceberg, so even after using the Ring of Returning to take them back to the Enterprise II, he encourages her to use one of the many spare rooms they still have to clean up and just rest. It was already near evening, anyway, and with her clearly exhausted, it would do no good to dive into these topics as is.

So he makes sure Rem has everything she needs—fresh clothes, water, and some light food. If she wishes to eat with the rest of the crew that return to the ship rather than staying on one of the many lodgings in Avaleci, she is more than welcome to do so. If she wishes to be alone, then he just makes sure she has it all in her room.

But most importantly, she reassures her that she will be safe and that regardless what happens—he's on her side, and he just wants to help her find a better solution to what she's trying to do.

Once night passes and the sun has risen, he'll check on her, hoping she didn't decide to try and run away. He's experienced that enough with Benedikta, that he wouldn't be so surprised if Rem did the same. But he is reassured when she is there, and he invites her to his quarters on the top deck when she's ready. And when she is, she'll find the door unlocked as he beckons her in. Cid himself will be sitting at his desk in the back, the windows open to allow the cooler breeze to flow through as he reads through some documents, papers with various designs and schematics scattered over his desk.

Even on a trip like this, he always has something to work on. Though undoubtedly, one of those papers will have notes about what she's told him.]

[vermilloci]

[ Shelter, a warm meal, and sleep: three things she didn't know how desperately she needed until he offered them. This entire month, she's been exhausting herself between trying to help those afflicted by the sleeping curse, trekking up and down the volcano nearly daily, and searching for the slaver-corsair. It's difficult not to feel as though she's failed in multiple ways these past weeks. And now...

Now she struggles with giving up her search for an artifact she can instead of the Altocrystarium. Using the artifact to become stronger aside, failing in that regard means she forfeits her life, and when it's over, it'll be as if she's never existed. As a soldier, she's always thought she'd been prepared to perish on the battlefield. It seems she's grossly overestimated herself.

But as she wakes, she tries to draw strength from her and Cid's conversation the night before. It's initially a heavy, foggy blur, but as she rises from her cot, both his words and his embrace slowly return to the forefront of her mind, helping to ground her.


She knocks before entering his office, waits for permission, and then shuts the door behind her. Rem releases the handle, resting her back against the sturdy wooden frame, eyes wandering around the room, noting whatever keepsakes or tomes decorate the chamber, before her focus goes to him.

Rem finds herself relaxing, despite everything, recalling what he'd said the night before. Doing what one can with the time they have left-... It's not as if she isn't incapable. If she can become a cadet for the Dominion and fight alongside Class Zero, then, surely, she can die with dignity. ]

Good morning. [ A pause as she looks down, lacing her fingers together. ] You... really went above and beyond. Thank you.

[ramuhs]

[He looks up with that usual warm smile of his.]

You flatter me, but that's just basic service for a guest.

[He then gestures to the empty chair in front of his desk as he clears away some of the papers while leaving the ones he already set aside for this conversation. He's definitely going to be taking some notes.]

I hope you were able to rest well. You look better, that's certain.

[Not completely, but very much compared to how she was when they first landed on the ship last night.]

[vermilloci]

[ She raises a hand to scratch at her cheek. ] That's all thanks to you. [ He'd taken her back here, offering her a place to rest for the night while she had been basically an exhausted wreck. It's a little embarrassing needing to be careful for, but she's grateful nonetheless.

Rem tilts her head up, attempting to look over the edge of his desk at whatever papers are in front of him. Standing in an office like this reminds her of the many times she'd entered the Archsorceress' back in Orience. She finds her straightening her posture without thinking about it, hand lowering from her cheek to her sides. ]

Taking notes on something...?

action, on the ship (after fire horse taken care of)

[emet_sulk]

[ For obvious reasons, he hadn't been able to follow up on her last message. But now that the matter of the fire horse seems to be resolved, he seeks Rem out (she can't escape his eyes!). ]

You didn't answer my question. Why?

[ Straight to the point as per usual. ]

[vermilloci]

[ Rem, who has been doing who knows what this entire time, is caught off-guard by the sudden question. She places one foot back.

Does she play ignorant? Deny that she knows what he's talking about? No-- that would be insulting him. But so, too, would be answering honestly. Caught between two negative outcomes, she stalls. Compounding this is the fact that it's ingrained in her to respect those who are above her. He is not a l'cie, but he is immortal.

Why, he asks. ]

...What you said before-- about... "using this thing for evil." Do you really think that's what I needed it for?

[emet_sulk]

I don't know what you needed or wanted it for. That was why I was asking.

[ He is...quite intense when he wants answers. Something about the way he stares at you. His height only adds to that. Unfortunately he's not very good at speaking in a soft manner. ]

I was giving you a chance to explain yourself.

[vermilloci]

[ She sure is intimidated! And it only serves to make her shirk. Rem tucks her chin downward, as it's difficult not to feel small in his presence.

"No, of course not! You will convince yourself that it can yield knowledge that would only be beneficial to mankind, ignoring the harm it has already done and is capable of doing. Because man's hubris is as endless as the sea of stars and as much of a void. Because you are incapable of reigning in your own impulses despite your better judgement. Because, whenever you learn something new, the first thing that happens is you develop new weapons to use against your enemy!

So don't give me some trite promise about never using this thing for evil. Don't lie to me about your intentions. I want you to tell me what you really want it for before I decide whether I agree or not."

Also difficult not to take that personally, as she is part of that very same mankind, the same group he's assuming this evil of.

A part of her can realize that he's being cautious, that he's seen such things happen, that he doesn't want another magical artifact being used for evil. And so she breathes in quietly, trying to quell her emotions. ]

I'm... not sure I can. I'm not sure you would understand.

UN: nutsornothing | TEXT

[nutsornothing]

Yo Rem its me Denji! I was wonderin if you could help me out. My clothes are lookin rough after all the fights and other crap I've been through since I got here.

I was thinkin you might be able to give me some pointers on where to find some new digs? Maybe grab a bite to eat afterwards watcha say?

[Was he asking her out on a date of sorts? Maybe. Was he really good at this kind of thing? Certainly not but at least he had confidence, right?]

[vermilloci]

Hello, Denji!

I'm not that familiar with the fashion of this world, but I'll do my best! And there's probably those at the stores who can help out with a few suggestions, too. Let's go!

[nutsornothing]

Its all good! I don't know anything about fashion period. I got my old coat out of a dumpster before Makima gave me these clothes at Public Safety.

Hell yeah, lets go! I'll meetcha at the market and we can go from there!

[vermilloci]

That's awful! (⇀‸↼‶) Let's make sure your new coat isn't from a dumpster this time.

Okay, be there in a few.

[ Just as she's written, Rem will be at the market. Pulling her red cloak together, she looks around the crowd for a familiar face. Denji had mentioned how tattered his clothes were been, and she can't help but recall how he looked after the fight with the dragon. If his clothes have gotten worse in the month since then, she hopes he's at least wearing a few more layers than strings! ]

[vermilloci]

♫ I'll Never Forget You ♫

[ In a small chest in her boat, there is a set of letters addressed to all of her CR in alphabetical order. While she has told no one of this box, perhaps after she perishes and vanishes from others' memory, someone will find the letters and deliver them to their intended recipients. (WIP) ]
