may be looking at exsilium soon.

[lostradiance]

...eh? Hey, mun, why'd you wake me up? I was havin' a good nap.

[ Lumiere moves to rub the sleep from her eyes before yawning and stretching. ]

You're thinkin' of sendin' me where now? Oh, this Exsilium place? Yeah, it sounds nice! Although, do they have comfy beds? I'm kinda in need of one of those.

[ Then, she laughs heartily, grinning ear to ear. ]

Don't worry! I'm not gonna spend most of the time there sleepin'! That's borin' and I'm sure no one's gonna wanna be around me if all I do is sleep.

Say, what's this about someone bein' there that I already know? --Oooh, so it's her. This just gets more and more excitin'!

[Tori is... a little behind the time she'll meet Solaris, if it'll even happen in her timeline. There are so many timelines, not that she's aware of that either. In any case, she doesn't recognize Solaris.]

2/3

[skirtcladgunner]

[It's weird, however... because Solaris feels familiar, as if Tori has met her before. Like Tori should know who she is.

How annoying...]

3/3

[skirtcladgunner]

Ahahaha! Well. The beds aren't the greatest out there, but they're not complete shit either~

[lostradiance]

[ Strangely enough, "Lumiere" will only glance at Tori for a few minutes as if scrutinizing her like a piece of meat. She doesn't mean it, but there's something about her that utterly fascinates the other girl. ]

2/2

[lostradiance]

Oh, good! That makes me happy to hear.

It's as my father always said, "You can't get a good night's sleep without a good bed!"

[skirtcladgunner]

[What the hell is this girl doing? Why is she just... watching her like that?]

2/2

[skirtcladgunner]

Heh. Your father must be a kind man~

[Unlike hers. Maxwell Crawford can kindly fuck off.]

I'm sure you won't have too much trouble sleeping... unless we get bombed again, or something like that. Unfortunately, that's pretty damn likely.

1/2

[lostradiance]

[ Maybe she just likes your eyes or something, Tori. ]

2/2

[lostradiance]

He sure is! Best pop I've ever had!

[ Wait, bombed? What kind of place was this? ]

Sounds great. Are there, at least, proper procedures in place and all that?

1/2

[skirtcladgunner]

[Well, her eyes are a rather pretty color.

Still suspicious, though!]

2/2

[skirtcladgunner]

[She's more than happy to move past the topic of fathers to answer the question:]

Depends on what you mean by "proper."

Re: 2/2

[lostradiance]

[ Good, good. She may have been forgotten for years on end, but she knows when to steer away from an uncomfortable topic. ]

I guess I wanna say, like, warnings and that stuff.

[skirtcladgunner]

Eh, I guess. As much as warning as you can get for these kind of things, you know?

[lostradiance]

Works for me, then.

[ A pause. ]

Oh, wow, damn - I forgot to give you my name! I'm Lumiere. Nice to meetcha!

[skirtcladgunner]

It's nice to meet you, too! The name's Tori. Hope we'll be able to get along if you show up!

[lostradiance]

The pleasure's all mine, Tori! And, don't worry, I think we will!

[magicdrains]

Exsilium, Exsilium... that's the war game place, ain't it?

[lostradiance]

Yeah, it is.

Is war scary?

[magicdrains]

War's hell or so they say. War's war. Shit happens. I don't like bothering with stuff that doesn't involve me.

[That isn't to say she won't do it at all, because she would with the proper incentive.]

[lostradiance]

Hell, huh? Well, I guess I should prepare myself before goin' there. I wouldn't want to make an awful first impression or nothin'.

[ She'll just nod in understanding, offering Kara a smile. ]

[magicdrains]

You'll pro'lly be all right. I wouldn't know though, my mun's only looked into that place briefly.

[lostradiance]

Thank you so much for the vote of confidence, ma'am! I'm sure I will be, but it never hurts to be cautious, y'know?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Oh? One you already know?

[lostradiance]

You could say that she's a friend.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Well, good to have someone, right?

[lostradiance]

Yep. Makes it not so lonely, y'know?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Just out of curiousity, what do you bring to Exsilium in terms of shiny powers and such?

[lostradiance]

Uh...

[ Does she mention that she's only to be awakened if Aviophiel's safety is threatened? No, that's classified and who would care about some dumb old goddess that weren't the elementals?

She hates lying to people, but. ]

I'm...really strong, I guess?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Always a good start point.

*Well, Pid wouldn't particularly care, but that's mostly because it's not her world. Also, demon.*

How does punching things with lightning sound as a support?

[lostradiance]

Ain't it?

[ Oh, good. She's still not going to talk about it. ]

Lightnin' was more Winston's thing, not mine.

[have_hat_will_travel]

No, no. One of my abilities is I can play music that makes your fists - or weapons - into lightning.

It's fun.

[lostradiance]

Oh, that makes sense! I could at least try it once to see how it is.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Hopefully only in practice, not serious combat...

[sketchingideals]

[Jeb won't recognize Solaris either, but if she's heading there...]

Please be safe, if your mun decides to send you there. From what I've heard, Exsilium is a very dangerous place!

[Not that Luceti is exactly safe, but...]

[lostradiance]

[ Excuse Solaris for a minute, Jeb. She's gonna stare at him for a few moments before shaking her head. ]

I will. I ain't gonna do anythin' stupid, 'cause that won't do.

[ It's the thought that counts. ]

[sketchingideals]

[Why did she...? He decides not to ask.]

Good, I'm glad to hear that. I know being put in dangerous situations is inevitable once you're there, but I'm sure you'll do your best to avoid anything that can be avoided!

[lostradiance]

[ It's best not to, Jeb. ]

Of course I will! I'm not gonna do anythin' too reckless.

[sketchingideals]

I know you won't remember this when you get there, but maybe somehow, it'll stick with you subconsciously. So I'd... like to ask you a favor, if it's okay.

[lostradiance]

Sure, what is it?
