With death I finally finish my map. I promptly start the process to have it sent to changing star.
"You do know what your going to have to do?"
I glance up at entropy. She's floating there watching me
"I'm not sure what you mean"
She turns her head up away from me
"you'll understand soon. I hope you'll make the right choice"
she floats away to go do whatever she does. I roll up the massive map and I use fake mimic to send it off to sun for them to look it over. I sigh turning my head away from where the map was. While I'm unsure of what war is doing, I'm sure it will end in something that changes everything. They mentioned knowing what is going on, they even mentioned it means something really bad is about to happen.
With war I walk across the street keeping my rain hood up. It would appear this rain season will be really bad. I took a few days off. I swear I pass by someone but I forget I did a second after. A homeless man, proof this system is leaving people behind, but I can't personally help him. I dont have enough money for something like that. I took the days off because these nightmares have been getting worse, they've been making me lose sleep. Being tired on a construction site is a very very bad idea. I could get myself or someone else hurt. The news, I dont watch it much but I didn't have much to do today so I did. Mordret, assassinated? How suspicious. Although I do suppose he would be a target, he's in charge of just about everything after all. I am not shocked, I am suspicious. Today really has been a odd day, even if I dont think about those two crazy detectives I heard at my favorite diner.
With Sun
"seer of the infinite, can you and bloodwave hur... what the... actually I dont need to know"
I walk into seers new room in the ship that seer of the infinite took, i am not calling that witch anything less. Even more so with the fact there's symbols in her own blood all over the walls that aren't drying and she's cut one of her wrists over a bowl
"oh dont mind me, this is how I use my aspect"
I grimance, blood everywhere how unsanitary.
"This is far closer to a flaw then I've seen many other people have."
She laughs, why is she so creepy
"oh i guess it is quite close to a flaw. Having to use blood and all. Oh but it isn't my flaw"
I wave my hand dismissively
"yeah yeah your flaw is to be crazy. I can tell. Anyways, after we get the ship back to the mainland, who will be steering it?"
She goes back to painting blood symbols, gross.
"Ascended dread of course"
"seems about right. Now could you and bloodwave hurry this ship up"
Ascended dread, that guy can't make essence, like jet, but unlike her he absorbs it from the area around him like a saint does, only he has no limit to how much. Useful for this kind of thing.
With war i fluff up my pillow. I will be getting a good night's worth of sleep. I've got my melatonin here and everything! I can't be tired on the job, and being tired makes everything far harder anyways. I get into bed without much thought about it. Hours later I sit with a blanket draped over my shoulders in the mirage city PD building.
"So it says here two people tried to break into your apartment, but a unknown individual intervened stabbing the two to death. That's when you woke up and called us correct?"
I nod slowly
"that is correct"
the man taps his pen against his notebook
"luckily you did have some, admittedly cheap, cameras. So finding out more shouldn't be too hard. So far our main theory is a break in gone wrong. Your quite lucky someone did something even if it ended so badly"
I look up at the man's face. A break in, i suspect not. Has someone found out who i am?
I look up as someone enters the room. No two people. A black haired man, snake tattoo former gang member turned detective, he is smaller but a bigger threat. A tan brown haired woman, the former athlete, still clearly skilled.
"So ■■■■ my friend. I heard you almost got assassinated."
My eyes narrow at the two, the woman more specifically
"you said assassinated. Has more evidence come out?"
The man shakes his head
"nope call it a detectives intuition"
the two glance at eachother and the woman shrugs. She walks over putting a hand on my shoulder
"With how everything's going you have to wake up"
