[Sup, Vatheon. It's Midnight, Saturday. Your character is asleep or whatever, THEN SUDDENLY, there's a big, ball of light enveloping Vatheon. Some would think it was morning already! Actually, the light is too BRIGHT for normal sunlight. It dies just as quickly as it came, though, and the the video feed is turned on. (If your character bothers to

[ The text practically appears before she's even had a second to send this post out. Just in time, too--he had something for her. Minato had remade her tattered outfit (only better, of course). It was totally fine now, new hood and everything. Ryoji grabbed it and left, having sensed her return.

Darkness would find light without much trouble; he texted as he ran. ]

i knew youd come back!!

[ The message ends, and then he finds where she is by following that feeling. He's still got bandages, he's missing his scarf, and his wounds are all pretty damn apparent, but he doesn't care. He's recovered enough by now to be able to use this arm gingerly again, and he does. INCOMING HUG, VRISKA. And maybe some tears-- ]

I-I was so worried!

It's kind of a big deal in Alternia. I'm high enough in the spectrum to avoid getting picked on, but not enough for people to have any expectations of me. Really, Makara probably had it worse.

But Alternia's gone now, so the stupid spectrum doesn't matter anymore.

[ ... Heh. ]

That's right. But it's still affecting all of you, isn't it...? And you... had other problems too. It's still a big deal to you guys. I don't think judging people like that has a point, though... it shouldn't be about that sort of thing.

Maybe that's why it bothered me so much. He didn't seem to care before...? I have no idea what happened.

[ A pause. ] Just promise me you won't go after him if he's still like this when he comes back, okay? Not without me.

It is extremely stupid, Ryoji. The spectrum, the segregation between land dwellers and sea dwellers or whatever prejudiced BS Alternia spits out at us. So glad it's destroyed now!

It's probably because he turned sober?

[Similar pause.] Okay, I won't.

[ ... He's content with this. So even now, he can manage a smile. ]

... I knew you weren't so bad. If you understand that, then I know I'm making the right choice, no matter what anyone else says.

[ He gives himself a moment to think. ] Now that you're back, what are you going to do, anyway?

[Action]

[formida8le]

Oh my god, Ryoji! You're so convinced I'm secretly good behind these eight zillion layers of bad, aren't you?

But whatever floats your boat, I guess!

[She says that playfully.]

I'm... I don't know. Relax, I guess.

[Action]

[derparcana]

I totally am, and there is nothing you could do now to ever convince me otherwise.

[ He does note the playful tone, but gives her an honest smile. ]

... Yeah, that's a good idea. I should probably be resting myself, but I wanted to make sure you were alright first. Do you think we could do something later this week, though?

[ He has kind of been looking into you guys, but asking is only polite. ]

What if I blow up Vatheon with my super cool doomsday devices?

That would be... that would be really nice. Okay.

[Action]

[derparcana]

... I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to, actually. People have tried. I heard there was an explosion in the past.

[ Just saying. ]

Awesome.

[Action]

[formida8le]

What if I -- gasp -- destroy the coral?

[Action]

[derparcana]

Then I'll just have to make sure you don't. But let's not let it come to that, huh?

[ After all, he abhors violence. ]
