A nod, even if they tuck their collar up a bit. The peek of bandages from events earlier this week still there around their turtleneck. Siffrin saved from my sickness for attention not being drawn to it today tch. ]
I'm okay. [ Same as always. ] It was.. getting really close there, at the end.
And oh stars, do they hate that! That someone can get that close despite being innocent. The amount of relief that ran through so many people, almost convinced if not completely that Yves had done it. ]
But he shouldn't have been at risk, there wasn't a whole lot of hard evidence.. just.. a few but so many other people fit them, too.
What a mood, though. The collective relief was hilarious and it also almost made him burst a blood vessel.]
Unfortunately, there has never been much hard evidence. We tend to convict people on little more than tattered ribbons and confessions alone. [Their killers have been so kind so far...] ...I didn't wish to speak up overly-much and create a situation like Jiaoqiu with Jing Yuan, or Anders with Garrett, but it was extremely frustrating, watching people point at his name coming up multiple times as if Neverah herself hadn't.
[He's not angry, but he is frustrated. Mostly with himself.]
[ The collective relief really just emphasized the whole "they probably all voted Yves until that moment" ascends to the gods to fight them.
However, Lucas is right. They did convict for less, but at least with Hawke the evidence seemed a bit more damning.. even though with Jing Yuan a different ribbon really was so little. But maybe because this is the first time it was someone Siffrin really likes that was put up on the potential block.
The vibes of frustration is felt, but clearly not directed at any of them. So they don't take it personally even if it isn't Lucas's fault either. Siffrin frowns and thinks back to what was mentioned out loud.. ]
It's because of his injures reopening, mostly. Wasn't it? ..If only I had my healing crafts.
...It's a dangerous slope. We find evidence that fits a small group, and then that group is scrutinized more closely. Suddenly, everything even remotely suspicious could fit a larger narrative. Yves' injuries were bleeding not because he moves recklessly, but because he was in a fight. The black fibers in Su Waner's mouth surely wouldn't have reasonably been from a vest, but his vest was also black, so it became suspicious. And once people had made up their minds, it was clear nothing spoken aloud would shake them.
[Watching it all happen had been... unsettling! Spooky shit. He's tired.]
I've told Yves to be more careful, but it isn't his fault that he can't tell how much strain he's putting on his wounds.
[ Siffrin listens closely to his words, gaze settled on him and though their expression remains mostly controlled there is a flicker of (i wrote furstratraiton my sick brain can't HANDLE writing normally) frustration, anger.
Logically.. sure. It fits. It's all there. But that doesn't mean Siffrin has to like it, and they don't. They don't want to consider people they care about being considered. Which is such a hypocritical thing to think. When they should be voting the people broken to lower the risks of more being lost the next week. But it'd be the same if Lucas had been considered instead. Something they don't want to think. ]
..Maybe I should have gone for the band-aid item. [ Maybe that would've been a healy item, damb.... ]
[HELP ZETSU PUTS YOU BACK TO BED REST YOUR SICKIE BRAIN.
Sometimes the heart feels whatever it wants even when the logical brain understands better, though. That is simply the way. Lucas will never fault anyone for having illogical feelings, when the core of the heart is a bit illogical in all its beauty.]
[ if i have to sleep any longer i will implode i blame the nyquil for making my ass loopy
Siffrin shifts a little, as if they might show something, but nah they hold out their hands in front of them as if mimicking opening a door. ]
Mhm. On Tuesday, I opened a door, and there was a chao wearing glasses with six items.
Under the Hero items, there was an item listed as Sn**py Band-aid. [ How did they do that with their mouth. ] I thought that maybe it would be a helpful healing item but... I ended up going with the hand mirror item instead.
But he just watches this happen and is faintly baffled, what is with all of you people finding things behind DOORS WITH CHAOS.]
A... [A WHAT. How did they do that with their mouth.] I see. Well... Yves is always getting himself injured and bleeds often even with the smallest ones, so I don't know that healing him would have ultimately done much good... [Even if there was ONE TINY BLEEDING CUT people would have leapt on it with an absence of anything else to latch onto.] What does the hand mirror do?
Offers a helpless shrug, bringing their hands back onto their lap. ]
At this point, I think having my Craft back would be more useful to avoid that.. [ At least then Siffrin could consistently heal Yves!! A sigh though, because of the case of new injuries popping up no matter what happened earlier in the week will look suspicious. Augh. ] Oh, it... I get to pick someone and it'll protect them against a curse, more or less. Reflect it back at the person?
[ Yeah. ] I used it as soon as I got it to protect Marcoh...
[A curious little look. He assumes it has something to do with healing, at least... Healing magic is so wild, man. He sure wishes he had that shit in his world. Yves would also benefit from it greatly.
But he just nods at that because that is so fair.]
I'm sure Marcoh would appreciate it. I assume the curses are the strange things that have been turning people's hair pink and making them fall in love...
Yeah, outside my Scissors Craft, I know some Healing Craft. It isn't a lot but.. I can at least heal a little, and apply a regenerative heal, too.
[ Come to Vaugarde where everyone has Craft magic, though technically anyone can learn Craft... teaches you Craft for free. ]
I know some of it is because of the food... It makes trying new food at the new locations kinda difficult. [ Haha.. TRIES NOT TO THINK ABOUT FALLING IN LOVE. ]
Scissors Craft which is my primary, is also called Piercing Craft, the textbook description for it is it heavily focuses on raw damage by attacking multiple enemies or one enemy several times and buffing allies' speed in order to attack first. I'm usually the fastest in my group so it helps to boost my friends faster too in battles.
[ the RPGs. Lucas can be like Odile and be Paper Craft... or a dual type like Mirabelle and have both Scissors and Paper Craft. He really does not come off as Rock Craft. ]
Mhm, I've been sticking mostly with what we know to be safe already. If I do try anything new, I mostly do it by myself...
