[SEASON TWO ARCANE SPOILERS INEVITABLE IN THIS POST. if you comment, please mention if you're okay with spoilers or not. responses will come from either Vi or Cait, or both. there may be some threadjacking, but generally they'll respond separately.

if you have CR with either character and would like to do something spoiler-free, hit one of us up! we're in the game discord and crystallium @ plurk for kat, and angelonia @ plurk for elise. other than that, kat will be posting an open log soon. ty everyone!]

I hope we didn't worry anyone with our absence, but Vi and I are back. We went home for a little while. I can't say I ever expected to see this place again, considering I didn't remember it, until I was here again. We'll be getting back to our usual routines, but be patient with us. It's certainly an adjustment, to have your memory messed with like this. Also, to anyone that came to Lupin for Vi's birthday: Sorry we missed you. This place had other plans for us, I guess. We'll have to catch up with everyone soon, once we settle back in.

ok time for my question. I know there’s some of you guys who’ve come back and have memories from home, and some who didn’t. can you contact us on which one happened to you? cait didn’t mention it, but she’s curious too. add to her conspiracy wall of this place.

[ooc: mild spoilers in pic but Caitlyn looks like that now anyway, so.]

[Yes, she is 100% seeing that edited image after it was posted to the network and scoffing. Did she really--?? Oh my gods.]

-- Vi! Did you really just edit that-- That's what you've been doing?

[She's laughing, but also annoyed, but also not surprised in the slightest. Sigh. This woman that she loves!!]

Thank goodness. We almost didn't survive without you both. Our saviors return.

[Vi already broke the truce before she left, so he feels no guilt showing up in a public post]

[SHE DIDN'T BREAK THE TRUCE-- oh yeah she definitely didin a blatant way to Viktor and Jinx.

after all the arguing about Lupin and the detective agency in the Last Drop, Vi's kind of deflated a bit. she's so fucking tired, it's hard to muster up enough energy to be angry at Silco.]

who's gonna make your life hell if i'm not here?

[Vi can't help but laugh a bit mischievously, amused by the look on Caitlyn's face.]

You're lucky I didn't post the pic of the mongoose. Yet.

[Vi please stop]

My life was hell long before you were born, girl. I've simply made the most of it. Did you like the flowers? I thought it added to the soft ambiance of Lupin.

[Look, deep down (and everyone knows it's deep, deep, deep down), Silco relished having Vi around to pick at. He would deny it, but he enjoyed pushing her buttons. Just like her father.]

how could i forget you're old as dirt?

[at least he can't see the face she's making at the tablet, though he'd probably be amused by it.]

you mean the flowers i trashed? were they from you? i knew i should've burned them.

Perhaps you'll even live long enough to be referred to as such. Living the high life does wonders for one's ability to survive.

[He would be amused by it. He was so pleased by this (right now) that he even put his feet on his desk. He's really letting loose.]

I do own a flower shop, so obviously. No doubt there's still time for you to set them ablaze. Don't burn your bar down.

funny coming from the dead man at home.

[man...]

yeah, they're in the dumpster out back. i'll make sure to get the gasoline in a bit and maybe even make it a bonfire. it's cold as shit out there, after all.

[Vi please.]

Mon-- Are you seriously still going on about that?

[It never ends, does it? She huffs.]

At least you don't look like an oil slick anymore. [Thanks to her. What a pain in the ass that was, trying to wash that shit out of Vi's hair.]

And who is responsible for that?

[He can't blame Jinx for his death, so he will make certain to blame Vi. She had killed him again here, and he still owed her for that.]

Don't freeze your tits off; your girlfriend may finally discard you back to the trash heap with the rest of us.

Boo. You owe me a gift for your birthday!

You already know where I stand on that. More importantly, you might want to look for a certain sister of yours.

Also? Nice boobs.

ambition... pride... miscalculation... I could go on if you want.

[obviously they both knew who pulled the trigger, but... are either of them gonna admit it? nah.

ok but her eye twitches at the comment abt being left in the trash. the been there done that of it all is something she never wants him to find out.]

nah she's stuck to me now. between here and home, we're superglued.

[the dirt under her nails...]

[Oh! Dazai! Vi had told her that he had returned, she just hadn't had a chance to speak to him. Perfect timing. Just. Gonna conveniently ignore the comment about her breasts, even if it was just regarding Vi's ridiculous drawing.]

Vi told me you returned. You really don't remember anything about being here, before?

[Seemed to be the usual trend. A few friends had come and gone, and didn't remember it. So why did they? What was the difference?]

Edited 2024-12-23 17:23 (UTC)

Hey there! Caitlyn, was it?

And it's as you heard. Any memories I have of this place prior is gone with the wind. That seems to be the usual case - except that isn't the case with you two, is it?

You mentioned that you went home for a while, like things have changed over there while you were away. That might be a clue to how your circumstances differ.

You aren't the first that's told me that.

[Astralin. Ekko. Now him. What made her and Vi so special, that they'd come back and actually remember?]

That's right. About eight months passed, for both of us. We were from the same moment before this, too. And we remember the same thing again, now.

[Interesting, right? She thinks so. Not that she's mad, that she's so bound to Vi that they can't even come and go in this place without each other. Though Vi had been here for months, before she even arrived in the beginning.]

[Them too, huh? This has been happening a lot lately.]

the same thing happened to me and my boyfriend
he was gone a whole month, but it was just a week for me
more than a year passed back home for both of us
i've seen it happen several times lately
what's up with that?

Meanwhile the two of you have only been gone here for, what, around a week? Not a surprise that time doesn't work here the same way it does in other worlds, though.

Still, this sounds like something you'd need more information on. There's too many different factors from different people.

Given a friend of ours has come and gone a few times, but always has remembered the same point of time back home, that was already a hypothesis of mine. This just further confirms that.

I'm eager to see what others have experienced. I'm not sure it'll matter, though. This place has always been unpredictable.

Because it's accurate.

[she rolls her eyes.]

Yeah, yeah, because you washed my hair. Wish I was conscious for all that, I would've liked to see it.

aren't the free drinks enough?

already on it, trying to find Jinx. got any leads so i don't have to chase all over Aldrip to find her again?

yeah, she's got some great ones.

No, it's--

[S I G H S. Caitlyn is also rolling her eyes!!]

If you had been conscious, I would have made you do it yourself. [Liar, Vi was hurt, she would've still helped her. She's just fussing because Vi is teasing her. :| ]

What were you even smearing all over yourself? It was a nightmare, trying to get you clean.

Amazing. I didn't previously believe your vocabulary could be stretched so far. Do you use voice to text function?

[Class disparity would always be a hot button topic for him, and thus he assumed for everyone else from Zaun too. Not that he could throw stones given he was also technically dating a high-born.]

Excellent. That information will come in handy for future nefarious plots.

Yeah you did worry me, jackasses Are you both okay now?

Yes, Toph. We're both okay now. Better than we've been, in a long time.

[Well, emotionally more so than physically. She was still healing, but that would come with time. Fractures have healed, stab wounds are just scars. They were both alive, and together. That was all Caitlyn could ask for, at this point.]

What's that supposed to mean? What happened while you were home?
