Cadenza cocks her head and tucks the ice statue into her sash that holds her hilts and blades. She looks confused.

Jay rolls his eyes and swings one of the wooden boards at the back of Janice's head

He wants to see if she has a Veil

She doesn't know that.

Cadenza's eyes widen.

"OW!" Janice whips around to face Jay. "What the heck was that for?!?"

[Condensation she/her]

Cadenza rushes over, frosting an edge of her cape. "Yeah, what were you thinking?" she asked. "Um, you can put this on your head. It'll help." she told Janice, holding out her cape.

Janice gratefully takes the cape, holding a confused glare on Jay.

Not trying to spoil any surprises, but are the Yevon feys made out of people? @Negative_Null

That would be interesting. Um, so, does anyone want to character build? Null, does Jay want to explain?

"So, do we want to plan what happens after I get taken in to the Talon by Lloyd?" Aryanna asks.

[Condensation she/her]

"Well, we rescue you, obviously." Cadenza rolls her eyes, a half smile appearing on her face.

[Vapor she/her]

"Yes, but don't we need to plan a bit more?"

[Condensation she/her]

"Well, I don't know anything about these people, so I won't be much help. You know my skills." Cadenza spread her arms. "Is there anything I can do?"

[Vapor she/her]

"I think we should unbandage my leg when we go in, so that it looks like I put up a fight but Lloyd was skilled enough to combat that."

Cadenza turned away, they were already planning. She pulled the little ice figurine out from her sash and studied it.

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

Torao slipped away; the voices were growing overwhelming again.

Fear spoke up. Why are we going on the water? We could drown, get killed in a storm, get eaten by whales! There's so much that could go wrong...

Torao's fear of the water came from being a tiger Sylven. They could easily swim, but a wet face was not comfortable at all.

Optimism, followed by Darkness, Logic, and Headache all brought up their opinions. Torao felt the need to do something; scream, punch, rip, tear...kill. The voices were all pushing them to attack, to pierce their nails through the fragile skin, to release the beautiful, bright colors from a body. Why was it that the most colorful parts of people were hidden? Torao had heard that question before, and it had stuck. Colors were so beautiful, they needed to be released. The bright red should flow as freely as a river.

Torao pulled themself away from the gruesome imaginings with a mental yank. No. I won't fight, I won't kill again. I can't kill again, and if I fight, I won't be able to stop.

[Condensation she/her]

Cadenza debated whether or not to toss the statue of herself in the water, then sighed and put it away in her sash again. Instead, she started making whatever caught her fancy. Ice skates made of real ice, a little boat she set on the water and watched it away, a translucent blue gem that cracked when it hit the water.

I'm back! So I assume she does not have a Veil which means...things

"Sorry, Janice, I had to check. So... not what I was expecting. You don't have a Veil at all, unlike those Fey we fought in there. If I had to guess, they're just humans who have been corrupted somehow. You, however, are not. You are not and have never been human, as far as I can tell."

[Condensation she/her]

Cadenza made a miniature pair of swords, then created another figure of herself to hold them. She smiled.

This hurts a lot more than Jay probably expected. Janice's chin starts quivering, and she turns her head away as a tear slips out.

"Not like that, not like that. I didn't mean that. I'm sorry."

With an effort he gets up to look her in the eyes. "It just means you're different. And that can be the best thing in the world, to be someone else, to be someone that no one else is. It can be lonely, but at least you always know who you are. I don't care what you are, I know who you are. And you're my friend, if you'll let me be"

The group heard a distant voice. "Wait up! You forgot me!"

[Condensation she/her]

Cadenza hears and looks back toward the voice.

[Enter a username]

The source of the voice was none other than Alder, swimming after the boat!

[Condensation she/her]

"Who are you?" asked Cadenza.

She sniffs. "It's... okay. I just want to be normal. I want everything to stop hurting all the time."
