[ It's a level of nice that he's familiar with, it's fine, they're cut from the same cloth. ]
Well, I've managed to hold onto some of my luck since getting here. Maybe it'll actually benefit me this time. [ dryly, ha ha, probably not!
More important things to worry about than where their beloveds have wound up for rooming arrangements, as he moves to swing his legs around the bed. There's still some nausea, but he's ignoring it in favor of getting off the bed. After the hammocks, this is easier to get out of, but he cups his hand against his eye and cheek to keep blood from dripping on the floor as he heads towards the bathroom. ]
If it's not the effect, then someone's cursed me - this is an injury that's a good 800 years old, it shouldn't be bleeding.
[ unfortunately for him, and for her, izumo's going to be still confined to the bed since she really shouldn't be moving and hasn't gotten herself a crutch get around with yet. you know, not a lot of inspiration to do so. new area, however, is enough to have her suffer through using a crutch.
that said, a little friend will pop out from where he was hiding around izumo and totter after hc. avoiding the droplets of blood, of course. ]
So early in the morning? You'd think they'd give it a few hours at very least before doing something like this... [ cue her locating and opening her phs to look up the new rules as he tends to the wound. ] If we want to use your luck for something let it not be curses that make you bleed from old wounds.
[ Hello, little fox friend. There's no reaction when he spots it - he saw all the foxes in Izumo's illusion, and they just had daemon week - and instead lets it totter along. But he undoes the eyepatch, and Izumo can... probably hear a splash in the sink of the bathroom before he even turns on the faucet. ]
It depends entirely on how much someone might want to hate me at the start of the week. [ Great he's going to have to wash or replace his eyepatch... ] ... well, it's not so old anymore.
[ her fox friend is just here to observe him as izumo scrolls through the phs to look for the changes this week in terms of the rules. it'll let out a concerned noise as he examines his not so old eye wound. ....as for the rules, they look all the same except. well.
"All participants must use at least one of their items before the end of Friday, unless they have no items capable of being used."
hm. ]
Well, it looks like they want us to use our items before the end of the week. [ Her New Concerns. ] Was there an item that was around that could make old wounds fresh again? I can't remember any.
[ Tossing the eyepatch into the sink, he turns the faucet on cold, waving his hand down to the fox - he'll be fine. He's just going to lean over the sink and check out his eye as he tries to clean it up. ]
Not that I can recall, either, and I pay close attention to that. It could be that someone with a role got one, or it's like your sword and our stones from our expedition. [ All options are bad! ] I suppose we'll see if anyone else is bleeding from something they shouldn't be. But this is a bit of a taste of my own medicine, I suppose - my sword from home can reopen wounds it inflicts.
[ the fox friend will and can be concerned!!! though he will just sit patiently at the edge of the sink and watch, his tail swishing back and forth every so often. ]
I definitely don't see anything different about myself—then again I probably wouldn't notice if there was any change. I think for the sake of things, it would almost be better if it was the weekly effect than an item.
[ ha ha. ]
But sounds like a nasty sword that you have. Is it cursed or enchanted?
[ which almost sound like they're the same but also not. ]
[ A little company while he deals with this isn't bad, and he cleans himself up the best he can, grabbing a hand towel to press to his eye while his eyepatch dries. Before he does, though, he offers fox friend a hand..? do you want to be carried back out, lil fella. ]
The risk of you being inflicted with an item curse like this in your current state is a little too dangerous. So if you don't notice anything different, all the better, to keep you at the total you have now.
[ But he understands - they're not the same, really. ]
A little of both? Can't remember how it was forged, but I know I did it, so I'll guess that it was an intentional effect on my part.
[ he'll take a lift! he doesn't need one, but he'll accept it if only because he's still focused on hc's eye to some degree. ]
Yeah, I'd agree. [ hmmm though— ] Honestly, if anyone decided to pick on me while I'm like this—I'd kind of like to have a few words with them.
But is that right? Sounds like you're pretty talented if you could forge a sword like that. [ and some of the other things that she has noticed that he's been capable of. though, if he's as old as he states, it shouldn't be that surprising in some ways. ] What kind of people, demons, or monsters are you using a sword like that on anyway?
[ That's fine - he can do that, from Hua Cheng's shoulder as he deposits him there to come back into the room proper. ]
More than a few words with them. [ And he wouldn't blame her! But he comes to sit down in one of the chairs, keeping the towel to his eye and regarding her, not minding the questions. ]
Well, I am a ghost. [ his profile calling him the Ghost King isn't for nothing ] Other ghosts, demons, and monsters in general, as the three realms are rife with them. But gods, too. It's more useful on them since so many think they're infallible, and if they have enough spiritual energy they can recover quickly.
A ghost, huh? [ she hasn't forgotten the fact that he's a ghost king on his profile but she kind of lost a lot of context of what it can mean for her. ...ish. ] You're pretty solid for a ghost, but I bet we can thank the Realm for that.
[ among other things but she'll consider his sword for a moment longer. (and i, naru, wish that this came up earlier where she could remember more of her own canon.) ]
A weapon that can wound a god... I don't think I have gods in my world similar to what others here might have. [ hmm. ] We just have demon kings.
