[ I think it would've been SO incredible for you to have played Vi this game for so, so, so many reasons, but this is definitely up there. ALSO YEAH ANNA TOLD ME THIS AND I WAS LIKE HELP!!!!!!!!!! ]
[ you know, maybe the rats can remain a mystery and we'll hope that viktor doesn't cause an uprising
anyway, marcoh asks, and - yeah! his eyes look far less cloudy than before. ig he also isn't missing one anymore but he had his eyes closed most of the time anyway so it was hard to tell. ]
Shadowheart really undersells her abilities. Her magic was able to restore my vision entirely.
[ Wow you don't want to know about my absurd rat powers which are just a side consequence of one long extended joke I made for the sole purpose of being able to have Shud the Frog as my personal item. ]
[ Well Marcoh has seen better days. Hes definitely got the traces of being a bit haggard after these last three weekends with a faded scar on one side of his face, but woo, he's here, he's Marcoh. ]
[ he's right, jiaoqiu karen'd too close to the sun with god, even... thoughtshare gives marcoh a little snippet of jiaoqiu telling god he was being passive aggressive and god sending an entire paragraph back of talking to him like he asked god to go look for something in the back of the store. ]
[ Marcoh's feelings are a bit more layered. It's been a rollercoaster, from thinking he'd go straight to hell to arriving in a pleasant heaven. Being told he could go back, a chance he couldn't reject no matter what because he had something he valued more than the weight of his own soul out there. Then things quickly went straight to hell and he couldn't even argue that perhaps this was how it was always meant to be for him after all.
A lot of him still dreads these last few days, still filled with tense anxiety about home, about Venere, because like it or not, he's two months late and he needs to go back but you all almost root him down, too. ]
[ he reaches to pat marcoh's arm. he doesn't miss! wow, it's so fckin great to be able to see!!! ]
... I would not choose to forget any of it happening, even so. [ there's a little flicker of basilio in his mind's eye - followed by all of the people he loves most in this place. marcoh is obviously in there.
a fleeting thought: I like the person I am with all of you. ]

HERALD. HE MISSPELLED HERALD I JUST REALIZED WHY HE'S HAROLD
anyway jiaoqiu also looks into the car. ]
I feel as though we should be concerned.
no subject
Apparently, they are Viktor now.
[ Should he be concerned? ]
no subject
squints. ]
They are... what?
no subject
[ And well. It was effective. ]
...The rats are my fault.
[ Just to add another layer to this but also if anyone deserves an explanation for anything he supposes he will give it to Jiaoqiu. ]
no subject
There is a lot to what you just said to me, right this moment.
[ looks up at marcoh. like, actually looks, even, with a precision he didn't have before. ]
Why are the rats your fault? Who is Viktor.
no subject
I summoned them...
[ Doesn't elabourate. ]
Oh -- Harold. He told me his name is Viktor.
[ Viktor Harold? He doesn't know. He introduced himself as Viktor in-person though so Vikky it is. ]
no subject
sees. he meets that eye contact... looks right at him, instead of slightly to the left. ]
Viktor. I see. I really should try to find the time to talk to him. I'm sorry - you summoned the rats?
[ ELABORATE MAYBE ]
no subject
[ DOESN'T unless Jiaoqiu really wants to know. ]
Is your -- you have been healed, yes?
[ He was expecting as much for his like eyes getting taken out but this seems different. ]
no subject

[ there's just like, Relief, at this ]
no subject
She was able to do that? That is impressive.
[ Wtf is fantasy healing holy shit. ]
no subject
She wasn't sure if it'd work. But it seems to have, and it isn't fading.
[ a beat. ]
This is the first time I've seen what you look like, really.
no subject
[ Well Marcoh has seen better days. Hes definitely got the traces of being a bit haggard after these last three weekends with a faded scar on one side of his face, but woo, he's here, he's Marcoh. ]
no subject
[ there's just a slight teasing tone to this. not a mean tease, just like the kind of cheek pinch you're cute emotion. ]
no subject
It has been a tiring time.
no subject
It has been. But we are all together again, and I have slept much easier. I hope you have, at least a little.
no subject
If there was anyone I was hoping would catch a break, you are one of them.
no subject
Ah, you all worry far too much about me. [ but it makes him happy, so he doesn't complain. ]
no subject
[ Considering Marcoh generally has followed him around constantly since the start out of just a want to look out for him. ]
no subject
Haha. Complaining gets me nowhere. Mostly.
no subject
I don't know. Doesn't feel like it would stop you.
[ Declares him Karen. ]
...But I am glad.
no subject
It has gotten me in trouble sometimes.
[ he's right, jiaoqiu karen'd too close to the sun with god, even... thoughtshare gives marcoh a little snippet of jiaoqiu telling god he was being passive aggressive and god sending an entire paragraph back of talking to him like he asked god to go look for something in the back of the store. ]
no subject
However Marcoh has the gall to seem vaguely amused at this thoughtshare snippet. ]
no subject
his ear flicks. it is kind of funny, honestly, so he doesn't seem to mind. ]
It isn't their fault, I suppose. But I'm well within my rights to be annoyed at being dragged out of my grave to suffer eight weeks of this.
