[It's been a few days since dying, and Luz had unfortunately kept this to herself. If you haven't been able to tell, this girl has been having a pretty rough month, and it didn't seem to be getting better. She lurched her device to focus, and, though coughing, was looking directly into the camera].

So. Uh. Died. First time, ha ha, not a fun experience. Kinda looking for some company, here or just on this thing otherwise. I should probably be getting rest, yes, but staring up at the ceiling regretting stuff and hating yourself can only keep out the quiet for so long.

Also, been out of the loop a bit. Someone update me on things?


[Action]


Luz was pretty sure that she was going to get an earful from people in the house, but ESPECIALLY from Ahiru, who had very much not wanted her to go on the mission. Luz had thought she could handle it and had handled somewhat similar situations before. Now, though, since they'd talked about it before, Luz knew it looked even WORSE.

Add the whole mix of self-loathing for being too weak to avoid death and the ever-present gloom of missing Fern and Varian, and Luz was pretty much a powder keg of emotions and blah. She was in her room right now, dimly lit with her purple lights and surrounded by a fort of stuffed animals and, well, Luz was a sight to see.

[Welp. That pretty much verified precisely what Luz had been thinking].

I guess you have a point! Still don't want to die myself though!

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, sure, doesn't mean you should go around dying or killing people willy-nilly. It still hurts!

[imaglyphwitch]

Trust me, you do NOT need to tell me that.

This has only been the first time I died. But I've been tortured and slowly maimed, so that's not something I'd wish for anyone.

[eudaimonikos]

Ah. Hm. Yeah, that's bad.

[Torture sucks! Is a thing Michael has learned more recently than he's proud of!]

[imaglyphwitch]

Maybe I should have someone take care of the scars.

[She kept them to remind her of what this place could do, but maybe that was a bit morbid now]?

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, is that a thing people can do?

[Michael doesn't really scar, for better or worse, but he doesn't see why you'd keep them if you didn't have to!]

[imaglyphwitch]

Some people can, yes. I kept them because I didn't want to forget what those guys did to me.

[Not that she COULD, of course. She had more than enough nightmares to remind her of that].

[eudaimonikos]

...is that really...necessary? Seems memorable to me.

[imaglyphwitch]

Probably not, but it also tells people who come here what they might have to deal with in case they're unclear how dangerous it is.

I'd rather it not be a shock to them.

[eudaimonikos]

I think you could probably just tell them verbally.

[imaglyphwitch]

I could, but they might not believe me.

[eudaimonikos]

Sure, but after becoming a squid and crawling out of the ocean, I think any lingering disbelief is really more of a personal problem for them.

[imaglyphwitch]

You know, you have a point.

Maybe there really isn't a reason to keep these scars?

[eudaimonikos]

Are they really that easy to get rid of?

[imaglyphwitch]

I was told it could happen, but I guess I can wait. I think Vira said it?

Gosh, so much has happened I think I forgot who told me that!
