A quick question.
I see we're dealing with some sort of unending night scenario. The pirates and the squid thing are easy enough, but I've got to know:
Is this a Vampire kind of darkness or a Werewolf kind of darkness? I can figure the rest out accordingly if someone has an answer.
Also the convenience stores here suck. The tea is weak, I can't find a decent sandwich, and all of the rival shops are out of a proper cleaner to get the salt stains off my glasses.
Anyone feel like sharing any tips?

Then the magic ritual we were part of came to an end and he took his last stand against the King of Babylon. He fell, but he took me as his retainer and asked me to live just before that.
It's complicated okay~?
[He's going to die, Anna. Literally die.]

[she is giving him so much grace by not simply cheering wildly. this is, like. okay, she hates her past life as a military historian. she hates it so very much. but one of her new friends has boned down hard with one of the greatest figures of ancient history and she can only just barely contain herself. and then he mentions the king of babylon and she just—]
Nebuchadnezzar? You... Jesus, dude. It really does sound complicated. But imagine how thrilled he's gonna be if he shows up here and sees you still living.
no subject
[The man was gilded in gold and had a haughty attitude, but also seemed to be the one other Servant in Fuyuki that Iskandar had made an accord with. He hummed in irritable thought, painful memories stirring at the necessity to discuss this.]
I believe he was someone older. Gilgamesh.
And... This place is probably my one chance to see the Iskandar I know again, if he comes ashore. Repeating the ritual could wipe his memories of our last meeting clean-- and it wouldn't be the same.
[He sucked in a breath, the gay pining evident with the mere sound of it.]
...It's been a decade, Anna. It's been a decade, and I looked like this when we-- when we--!!
[When they were together.
Against his own wishes, Waver groaned aloud in frustration and buried his face in a nearby pillow, as if that would help his embarrassment.]
He told me to grow thirty centimeters, and I did! Then-- then I got stuck like this!
no subject
[she nodded on her end of the line through the explanation of this whole kingly battle, but then—ah, shit. well. yeah, that one hits home. ten years since they were together and now there's the chance of him coming back and only remembering the way waver was ten years ago. she sighed, too, something exhausted like she wasn't expecting to relate to this.]
Would you believe I had to deal with the same thing with my ex? Or, like, some fucked up combination of both things? 'Cause she and I broke up about ten years ago, then when all this... vessel shit started happening, her and me both got caught up in it. And we started trying to make stuff better, and then one day...
[she puffed out some air. poof.]
She fell off. Forgot everything we did when we were both active vessels together. Went back to the same old Rose Geteilt who hated my fucking guts. Same one who broke up with me ten years ago.
[she shook her head hurriedly.]
But hey, this ain't about my trauma. I'm a hundred percent over it by now. [she wasn't.] All I'm saying is that when he shows up, all you gotta do is explain it to him like you explained it to me. Hell, go talk with Cloverfield if you can track him down and try to get a picture of yourself with all that extra height.
Worse to worst, we can just get you some platforms.
no subject
[He scoffed on his side of the feed, momentarily wondering if they were playthings for the Pthumerians. It wouldn't be the first time that he had tangled with powers greater than himself.]
What next, are you going to say that you also were nearly killed by someone claiming to be your lover's other lover, too?
[Because. That totally happened.]
I think I'd rather get taller the hard way again instead of getting platforms. That's too much! Too much!
no subject
Not yet, but, like, who knows. Anyway, dude, you can totally learn to walk in platform shoes. I did it for my host club gig and I'm already pretty damn tall. 30 centimeters, that's what, uh.
[she does the math in her head, which of course means she pulls up a calculator to convert it for her.]
Oh, holy shit. Okay, that might be a little too much for a heel. You might be right.
no subject
[He pouted as he spoke-- totally unbefitting a man who was over six feet tall.]
It wasn't magic or anything. I just needed to be taking better care of myself instead of skipping meals and writing papers instead of sleeping. It took time, so I'm feeling very cheated by this spell I didn't even ask for being still active.
no subject
[she says it kindly, at least.]
All the more incentive to make this a partnership that lasts a while, you know? [smirk.] I've heard of stretch goals, but this is ridiculous.
no subject
[The protest, however, was hollow. Despite his words, Waver appreciated it. ]
Anna Amarande. Are you up for this kind of challenge?
no subject
[she exhaled, taking it far too seriously for comic effect.]
I'm in.
no subject
[He was embarrassed. So embarrassed. It was hard to take this kind of embarrassment!
And yet--]
But, thanks Anna. I'll make it worth your while.
no subject
Plus I get to help you out, too, I guess. [is the smirk clear in her voice? she hopes so!]
