[Public Channel] Day 96 - gossip

[worldlyafflictions]

Oh yeah,

While we're all looking at our radios again, who all's still around these days? I think we picked up some new people at the last place somehow? I mean for sure we nearly lost some people! Like, Iggy-san almost died, haha... Anybody seen how he's been doing lately since he can't check in himself?

There's still something weird going around but it seems pretty tame in comparison, so everybody live it up a little while ya can! Any lovely ladies still hangin' in there are welcome ta come on a festival date with me~

((check in, tag some newbies if they show, free post. Shima will respond to anyone who addresses him.))


[PRIVATE CHANNEL for Childermass, Tyki, Peridot, and Amethyst]
Ah, also, it was a while ago but I had a talk with Strange-san about Ignatius' Heart situation. Well, mostly I told him Ignatius should go make some friends ta find the answer for getting it back ♥. He doesn't know who, if anybody, has ta do with looking after the Heart but if he actually remembers it after everything else, he might come yell at Childermass-san about the moon or something. Sorry about that!

So, anybody got any feelings on this project so far?

assuming it's cool to assume they exchanged real names at some point during eden, lmk if not!

[ Oh hey, it's this guy! Now that they're not all animals anymore, Eruka sounds a lot happier. She'll be completely ignoring the part about Iggy because for now, as far as she knows, he's none of her business anymore~

Instead, she'll focus on the more important topic at hand: ]

That depends~ What's in it for me?

totally cool!

[worldlyafflictions]

[Slime girl!]

My super charming company while we get lost together on a night of fun in a magical pleasure resort?

[amphibiopathic]

We~ell I was really expecting something a little more tangible than that! A girl can’t eat charm or wear it, you know?

a newbie

[lmpatientdefense]

Uhhh... hey. I'm Beau. New. Nice to ... meet you. I guess.

[This guy is way too chipper and flirty, ugh.]

[worldlyafflictions]

Nice ta meetcha, Beau-san! Everybody just calls me Shima.

How was the kidnapping? Not too traumatizing I hope?

[Definitely too chipper]

[lmpatientdefense]

It's... Beau. And, you know, I was asleep. As kidnappings go, pretty un-traumatic.

How about... you, how'd you wind up with... the carnival..?

[ Naturally, Shima's radio message comes the very same day that dark-side Childermass has decided to be an absolute lush. It also happens to be that, having taken all the thieving traits with him in the split, he had nicked the radio from his unsuspecting light-side without the man ever even realizing.

Which means the answer Shima gets from his typically dour boss is a snort of laughter and what definitely sounds like a bit of drunken slurring when he actually speaks up. ]

You told Strange? Oh no, he's going to shout at me over his true love's heart. I'm terrified. Whatever shall I do.

[ Hopefully react with a bit less mockery than this but who knows. ]

jack’d

[whattaprick]

[ And faintly, from Childermass’s end of the radio, a much more familiar drunken slur is audible. ]

Less jawin’, more pouring. M’not drunk enough yet.

[worldlyafflictions]

[Oops, it's Lambert]

[worldlyafflictions]

Ya definitely aren't! More booze!

[atouts]

Oh, pour it yourself for once. The bottles aren't even that heavy.

[ He's busy talking on the radio, man, c'mon! ]

[worldlyafflictions]

More like he made an assumption that I couldn't redirect without giving more away than I wanted to. But ya don't sound worried, so I'm putting my faith in ya!

[Actually Childermass sounds drunk, which Shima is both amused by and glad he can enjoy with a radio keeping a good distance between them, if he's gonna get rowdy.]

[atouts]

[ Burn it into your memory, Shima, because Childermass will refuse to discuss this ever again later, once everything is fixed. ]

Strange is a pompous blowhard. [ He has to say 'pompous' very slowly but he manages. ] He'll huff around and whine about it but that's all. I s'pose he could spy but on what? Me folding my wardrobe of funeral clothes?

Private Channel

[periphrasing]

Oh my stars. Why did you have to go and tell Strange of all people?

[She can feel a headache coming on. STRANGE ALREADY YELLED AT HER ONCE FOR KEEPING SECRETS...]

[worldlyafflictions]

'Cause nothing interesting'll happen if all of us just keep completely quiet. Anyway, ain't the goal ta give Iggy-san back his Heart eventually anyway? It'll be good ta have someone nagging him ta get more familiar.

[periphrasing]

Ngh. I suppose you have a point there... Just as long as he doesn't come nagging me about it.

[Which, Shima already said wouldn't be an issue but. She's concerned enough about it for it to be worth reiterating.]

[hippocarnival]

[How's Iggy doing? Ha ha ha...]

Ignatius is around! He's getting to enjoy this place and recover like everyone else, and,uh, might be a little different if you see him? I don't know if he put himself back together yet...

[Yuya didn't want to blast it all over the radio back when it happened, but now that they have more of an idea what's going on and what it takes to put themselves together... maybe they should be more attentive.]

[whattaprick]

Put himself back together?

[ Say it a little louder for the people in the back, Yuya. ]

Are you saying we have two Summer Court generals running out there? When was the last time you saw him?

[worldlyafflictions]

'Put himself back together' huh... It's almost impressive how beat up he keeps getting.

Private Channel

[prazerbutterfly]

You realize the likely scenario is that Strange is going to go looking for those who have answers to Ignatius' heart more furiously than Ignatius, don't you?

[He's not split nor can he blame the not so newbie for not knowing Strange well enough yet.]

Hmm, with how things are going you might actually get more answers out of people on any 'feelings' on this project.

[worldlyafflictions]

Yup! But I made myself a nice obvious target, so if you're not up to the challenge of dancing around him it's not like he'll know unless ya say something.

[Shima has clearly been shit-stirring on purpose, sorry to say.]

Anyway, I'm mostly curious if anybody's leaning toward giving him his Heart back anytime soon.

[exaomori]

You sure got your energy back pretty quick.

[worldlyafflictions]

Ya don't feel rejuvenated just from being in a place like this, Kirigakure-sensei? I mean if ya aren't getting pampered enough, I found some places I could show ya~

private!

[kingsroads]

[ speak of the devil....

When Strange radios Shima, he's thankfully in one piece. Unfortunately, he's pretty much confined to a medical wing of the bathhouse for a moment thanks to his bustedass nose, so there's the murmurs of doctors and probably some sort of beepy medical noise in the background. ]

I've a few questions for you as well as a statement. Which shall I pester you with first?

[ there's not much you can do while the medical staff runs some tests to figure out why there's some broken mirrors inside ya nose, Strange is bored out of his miiiiind and KNOWS he's going to pester some people on the radio for a bit. ]

[worldlyafflictions]

Statement first so I can decided if I should flip away from this channel~?

[He's just being a shit, he's actually pleased Strange dialed him up, at least for the moment.]
