Me too. Apparently Minnow had their eyes taken out? And there looks like there might have been some deaths ...

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

Good lord... I'll have to check on Sparrow then, but- I'm glad that didn't happen to you.

[That explains a few things. He hadn't been actively Looking, but he definitely felt the presence of several others suddenly blip out.]

I hope it isn't permanent.

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

I mean, I've had these sorts of injuries before. Likely to scar, but not terribly.

[ He rubs at the spot gently. Can't Jon picture what it could look like? A faint marring of the freckles on that arm ... a spot Jon has run his fingers over before while next to Martin in their bed in Sidereal ... ]

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

[He can. So vividly it aches, enough he focuses the cold on just his chest so maybe his heart will stop hurting. Not his not his not his-]

Hopefully not, then. Um. I'm sure Sparrow will appreciate coming back to fresh muffins. What sorts have you made?

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

Cinnamon primarily. I really want to try fruit at some point, but I'd hate to accidentally poison someone with forest berries.

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

...Fair enough.

I think, um. Mouse probably has a few things, if you wanted to trade for those. Or...

[Oh. Hm.]

Cricket, but it may take a while.

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

... Cricket does?

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

You're aware of the, ah. ... I hesitate to say 'gifts', but additional things we received with those towers?

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Martin nods. ]

Finch received a boon, of sorts. Still muddling through it to be honest.

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

[Jon nods in turn.]

Sparrow as well. ...Cricket has plants and seeds as a resource instead of a power.

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

Oh. That - seems nice, actually? I really will have to trade them for some then.

What did Sparrow get?

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

Briar seems a reasonable enough fellow, I'm sure he'd work something out with you.

Sparrow got... a shield of some kind? Um. I don't quite know the specifics, but there are weighted bags with airbags in our training area.

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

... That's rather ominious.

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

It sounded like Ruby got hit with one by surprise earlier this morning.

I haven't really tried any of it myself.

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

Ah, I've tried mine a little? Mostly because it seems ... mm, controllable.

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

...Is it something I'll regret asking about?

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

No, just - a bit ironic?

[ He concentrates, and all the ambient noise of Sparrow dies away. ]

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

Wha-

[And then he hears nothing. A completely empty soundscape. He stares at Martin curiously.]

...I see.

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

Well, you hear, anyway.

I don't think anyone else can hear us like this.

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

Hm.

[That does get a smile from him. Jon watches Martin a little proud.]

That's good you have it. I'm sure you'll find good use for that.

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

I hope so. Yeah. Seems like it has utility, anyway.

But - ah, that's not why I'm here.

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

[Could be used to stop him should the worst happen. He's glad Martin has that option now.]

It isn't? The, muffins then?

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

[ something Martin has definitely thought about. ]

No, erm. I just. Had a thought during the game.

Re: Day 90

[eyediot]

A... thought...

You're all right?

Re: Day 90

[curriculum_fictae]

Yes, yes, perfectly fine. Just thinking.
