J-July 7th!?

[Hi, Vatheon. Have one very panicked Renton staring at the SFC because alsklsadlasd what.]

That can't be right! Is this thing malfunctioning, or something...? I mean, it's still June, right? That's almost two weeks-!

[He just stares, because none of this makes sense sob-until you can practically see the proverbial light bulb go off

You're awake?

Good morning, Renton-kun. The curfew is still in effect, but we've been told a way to keep the shadows away, at least.

[heroistics]

Minato!

[He blinks.]

Really? How? [Also-]

And by 'still in effect'... Then was I really-?

[lunateclock]

You've been asleep for a while, yes. It's good to hear that you're back, though.

[c:]

Pieces of the dead coral are said to ward off the shadows. I'll probably test it tonight to see if it truly does work, so that we know.

[heroistics]

H-Huuh? How did that happen?

[D:]

Really? Can I come?

[flowerywinter]

... Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. This must be "coma" my friends told me about.

*Looks a little apologetic.*

And the curfew is still in tact, but they gave us pieces of the large coral to protect ourselves from the shadows. I think it works.

[heroistics]

So it's a common thing...?

[That makes him feel a bit better. Kind of.]

Pieces of the coral?

[flowerywinter]

Yes, shortly after the last curse week was over, the city gave out pieces of the large coral. The one we touched when we got here.

*she shows him her piece.*

They say it protects us from the shadows at night.

[heroistics]

R-Really? Do you know where I can get a piece...?

[trickfox]

[s'up buddy!] Nope, it's right! N told me that you can fall into comas where you sleep a long time, something like it's common to happening around here.

[scratches at an ear idly, jaws parting to show bitty fangs as he yawns.] But you're awake now so don't worry 'bout it!

[heroistics]

Really? Well, that's good to hear, I guess. Or at least, uh, not bad.

[A smile because d'awww you're so cute Zorua.]

Right! So how've you been?

[trickfox]

[a few snickering

before he wags his tail, perking.] I've been okay, a little bored after those curses ended!

[heroistics]

... Curses?

PLACEHOLDER SORRY PHIL

[treasurehunted]

Welcome back to the world of the living. How'd you enjoy being gobbled up and kept prisoner for the past coupla weeks?

[trollllllllllllll-]

SO MEAN BOB

[heroistics]

[HE IS NOT IMPRESSED.]

... Very funny, Aniki.

[treasurehunted]

Yeah? I'll admit it's been a while since I cracked a joke.

Sleep well?

[heroistics]

It'd have been better if it were voluntary... and not that long! Geez, I feel like I've wasted these weeks now.

[got_it_memorizd]

I wouldn't worry about it too much, kid; friend'a mine and I dropped off the face for a whole month and came back good as new. No sense losing sleep over the lost time, says I.

[Video]

[heroistics]

A-A whole month!? I guess two weeks doesn't look so bad compared to that...

[Video]

[got_it_memorizd]

Well, it's not like we remember that month--I didn't even believe it at first. Either way, I guess it could have been worse.

[Video]

[heroistics]

I'm not sure if I would believe it either... I mean, a whole month! But yeah, I guess it could've been worse. Sleeping that long can't be healthy, though.
