Absolutely. I think it's pretty neat, personally.

I've been stuck with healing since getting on the boat. I feel like I can't get rid of it though when people are always getting fucked up all the time here.

[Being responsible sucks.]

Definitely a useful ability to have, but I guess not very entertaining or exciting. And when it's in high demand, it can get exhausting, I bet...

Ah, well. I shouldn't complain, since it has come in real useful. And it only requires feathers which makes things easy enough for me.

Feathers?

Yeah, I just gotta cover the wound with some feathers. It...takes a little while. But it's better than nothing. Doesn't require pain or blood drinking like some of the other healing abilities in this place.

You gotta cozy up for a good amount of time. But my wings work well enough.

Is there a bird theme going on in Unholy unintentionally?

Heh. I guess you could say so. I haven't had them out as often, but-

[Poof. His wings are out now.]

I usually have it out for aesthetic reasons at home. Since it helps with my image musically.

[Then Eriks started trying to guess what kind of bird he was based on the feather type and he immediately noped out.]

People in the disorder generally take on names after birds or related to them. I'm the only one who doesn't have a bird-like name on the disorder here on the boat at the moment.

Ahh, I see.

Makes sense. It does give you a good look on stage for a crowd I would think.

Right?? I look fucking awesome on stage. Like a bird of prey or angelic demon.

[ laughs. ]

And it suits your music from the little I've heard, too.

Are they just aesthetic?

Nah, I can fly. Or turn into a full-on bird if I want to.

[He leans back against the chair.]

I tried flying off the boat and into the horizon. I was able to, as well. I got almost as far as I could until the boat was just- [He lifts his fingers up] this tiny little speck. But...

[He sighs]

I can't just LEAVE everyone here. And it's not like I know how far land is from the boat. I imagine that's why the shitty thought police didn't strike. Because it knew I was gonna come back anyway.

Is that happening at all still lately with anyone?

Yep. Flamingo decided to test it out for himself after I warned him. I guess he saw some pretty creepy creature when he tried. A long arm and bloodied claws? There was an ocean of blood, and he seemed convinced that we couldn't leave and would drown if we tried.

Aster also saw something weird when he tried. The two times I did, I never saw anything though? Just the incredible feeling that leaving was a bad idea, and if I tried to now, I would lose everything. That I wouldn't get this chance again. And the idea of that I guess was enough for me? I don't know what the difference is.

...Hm. where did you get the idea in the first place to try it, anyway? Manifesting or something?

The Showmaster told me to do it.

I cornered her about all of her shit and told her I wanted to leave. She told me to feel free. That she wouldn't keep me here. To try wishing to go home and to clear my head of everything except the desire to go home.

[He runs a hand through his hair.]

She claims this has happened before but that she's not responsible for it. I don't know how much I believe her, though. Aster's said we had to 'get to the end'. Flamingo's something about drowning and how we should stay a little longer.

[ . . . ]

Interestingly enough, none of them have made it seem like we'll be stuck here forever. Just that now isn't the right time.

Sorry, what's happened before?

That in the past, people tried to go home, but could not due to the same thing happening to them.

... Now I'm beginning wondering where home is for us.

What do you mean?

If it's not the Showmaster responsible for preventing us from leaving in this manner, then does it think we mean some place other than the home we have here on Estoria? Like, technically, if it has nothing to do with our kidnapping on this boat, does whatever it is think we are home still as we know it and thinking we want to go somewhere else, and that's why it's telling us not to hurry? Why would we lose everything going home if home is where we've been taken from and deprived of? We haven't gained anything on this boat that could constitute as everything.

I guess I didn't really know what I mean, just that it feels like it doesn't make much sense to me to be going back home to shore as losing everything is possible or not the right time unless we're all somehow being headhunted.

I don't know. I don't really want to think of what the alternative means, though, either.

Makes me think of those freaky ass visions.

Well, it doesn't really matter. Even if those visions are connected to us somehow, that's not what is going on current in out lives, so...

Thank god.

Haha, yeah. Now, do you want to go to the lounge or should we bring dinner back here?
