[The fountain is apparently a popular vacation destination for City newbies.

In any case, there is one (1) Jack Vessalius of the beautiful blonde braid perched on the fountain lip, chillin' like a villain (OH SNAP), one gloved hand skimming along the water, back and forth and back and forth, distorting his reflection. It's interesting to have a

[he can feel his heart jump as he hears that tune -- even just the first bar -- and he freezes.

how is jack vessalius here (one of the ones his old family grudge had truly been against), and why does he know his song? had he heard it through oz, or--]

...You're here without Oz Vessalius.

[Oh, little Nightray boy. If only you knew.]

The thought had occurred to me, as well. Curiouser and curiouser, isn't it?

lmao god i'm sorry fuck this week

[concitato]

[his initial instinct is to point out that curiouser isn't a damn word, but that isn't really the most important point here, so he bites his tongue for once.]

So you really are aware of everything that's been happening recently, then, aren't you? With the Baskervilles and Isla Yura -- you weren't brought here from your own time, but from Oz's.

FFFF I second those sentiments man

[GOOD JOB, ELLIOT. cuz Jack doesn't really care.]

Does that bother you, Elliot?

These gods are very powerful, indeed. They even gave me my body back. I never believed such a thing was possible.

[concitato]

I realize that, and no, it doesn't bother me. It's just surprising to see the legendary hero of the house of Vessalius here in the flesh, as you're clearly aware.

Hero...

I'm aware of many things, Elliot. [humpty dumpty.] And I hope you know I didn't want to be called a hero, nor do I consider myself one.

[concitato]

[guess who else doesn't consider you one!!]

If you know so much, why don't you explain things to Oz instead of leaving everyone in the dark and putting them in more danger? What good does secrecy do for anyone?

[HUZZAH]

There is a time and a place for everything. In some cases, preparation is required. Experience. Oz wasn't ready for the truth yet. [yes, wasn't]

[concitato]

Who cares about experience, people deserve to know what's happening when it's affecting their own lives.

thank you for your willingness to backdate sob <3

[baitswitch]

And if that knowledge comes with a price? If that knowledge has the power to break you? What then?
