Your secret's safe with me, if that counts for anything.
[ but okay... i will go first I GUESS. i'm just yeeting video clips. gojo will receive a memory of the realm of darkness, a place she's wandered alone for over ten years. the world seen in her memory is one that's been swallowed up by darkness—and then restored back to the realm of light. leaving her behind. (27:17 - 28:41)!
i wish i could explain anything about kh coherently ]
It better be. I wouldn't appreciate it if I woke up with my own blood boiling me alive!
[ Oh... But they're getting into a memshare. His face twists, but he's forced to watch. So much about Kingdom Heart is so funny. Why is it still going? How would people understand it without playing ALL OF THE GAMES?
He isn't sure if he completely understands, but to be alone for so long without an interaction? ]
Forced to wait around until someone saves you doesn't really suit you, Aqua.
[ I really just have one arc to pull from and the new jujutsu kaisen mobage, but we can have Riko's intro. Despite what she said about how she would live on as Tengen, Satoru knew ultimately it was ego death that would wait for her. She was just consoling herself... What else could a middle schooler do?
He also empathized because he understood what it's like to have everything laid out for you at birth, when the stars are aligned and set... Unyielding is fate. ]
[ WEH RIKO 🥺 stsg just bullying this little bean is so funny i forgot about that...
...it's not a particularly distressing memory compared to others she's seen, but the emotion that goes with it gives her pause. she can't quite put her finger on it. but it is sad, if not concerning, to see a young girl facing the final moments of her life, before she becomes assimilated with someone else. ]
[ It is a cute memory!! And he's watching it with a neutral expression. It's been a while ago—in a way, those were simpler times and yet also stressful times.
There's a pause, not because he's considering Aqua's feelings or his own, but he's savoring the memory. Youth (you were just a year younger).
There's no point of sugarcoating. In his eyes, it would be tarnishing Riko's visage to pretend and forget how she was wronged. ]
She was assassinated before the merge. [ ... ] If she wanted to abandon her duty, we were going to support her.
[ i had this tag half-written in a delirium at ass o'clock last night but then closed the tab and didn't save anything pepecry ]
...That's... [ beyond tragic. and also, horrifying. riko had seemed to be so young and full of life. ]
...So in the end, it wasn't her choice either way.
[ it's just even sadder, knowing she'd been resolved to sacrifice herself, knowing that she didn't have a chance to even go through with her decision much less change it. ]
I'm so sorry to hear that. ...It must not have been an easy time for you or Geto.
[ geto insists this is just something they're used to, but even so... ]
[ I think about how they made her a drink for the Alley collab and every day I was glad it wasn't Toji.
Satoru wonders if their offer of a choice was enough. It's nothing but platitudes, empty without anything to show for it, but maybe it made her happy. ]
That mission changed us, I think, but we're all right. [ Unfortunately, he mimics Suguru. They're used to it. ] We had to move forward.
She'd call us losers if we were still sad about it all after a year.

Yeah, I'm cool, but Suguru is worried that if I put myself out there too much I'll get locked on, so I might need to start lying.
[ yes... we can memory..... ]

... Is that where you were before this?
no subject
[ she smiles a little at his antics. please enjoy normal inside blood, gojo!!
... ]
Yes. The beach wasn't there anymore, but I was trapped in that realm before I woke up here.
[ vanishing beaches... soml. ]
no subject
[ But... There's some concern. It doesn't show on him obviously or in the way it does on normal people, but it's there. ]
Years of being there and no way out yet?
no subject
Yes. Unfortunately all I can do is wait for help to arrive. It's not a very easy place to get to, to begin with.
no subject

Trust me, I'm not a fan, either.

...A year isn't a very long time at all. Surely she'd be a little more lenient than that.
[ lightly teasing... but sad. riko would call her a loser and she wasn't even there. ]
no subject
Puffs out his cheeks. ]
Maybe it isn't long compared to ten years.
[ Teasing a bit back. ]
no subject
also he is so baby... not kicky feet and cheek puffing!!! ]
Mmhmm.
[ but ah, more seriously, ]
These missions of yours... Have you had to accept many more? It sounds like they're all very dangerous.
[ slight frown. ]
no subject
[ It is what it is... And much like she probably expected he's used to it, though he doesn't seem worn down at all. ]
This reminds me I have no idea what you do.
no subject
...It's not quite the same, but maybe a little similar. I'm considered a guardian of light—it's my job to ensure the peace of the worlds.
I've had to battle monsters born from the darkness and negative emotions in people's hearts. [ they're not nearly as horrific as curses, though. ]
no subject
So we're the same! Almost!
no subject
but aqua gives him a lil smile. ]
Guess so. ...I'd say your job is even more difficult than mine, though.
[ the premise of bbs is depressing as hell but it's not jjk where characters are mowed down at the drop of a hat......... ]
no subject
Are your monsters not as bad or something?
no subject
That too, but our deaths aren't as ugly, either.
[ kh bodies just vanish into pretty motes of light (or ig darkness), none of this horrific mg business. ]
no subject
[ IS THAT THE OPPOSITE? ]
no subject
It's just that our bodies vanish. We don't leave behind traces like I've seen here.
[ no blood and gore. the past few weeks have been shocking... ]
no subject
[ Even if that's a nice way to go. ]
