A Debate [text | un: orator]

[chiefkeyward]

[ Lahabrea hasn't made his presence known much since his arrival here. Nevertheless, he has a question he wishes to ask that may spark a lively debate. He has no need for anonymity on his part, so this mysterious "orator" can be addressed accordingly. After much thought, he decides to type the following: ]

What makes you worthy of existence?

[That's just one of many questions to come.]

[menphina]

Is this how I was supposed to find out you've returned!!!

[chiefkeyward]

[Uh oh. Now he's suffering from existential dread. He didn't expect to run into Megumi so soon.]

News of my departure was greatly exaggerated. While my consciousness did fade for a moment, I doubt I was truly gone. Nonetheless, I consider the Lifestream to be a mediocre paradise.

[menphina]

[ Can you FEEL the glare she's shooting the device through text. ]


A MESSAGE! All it takes is a few moments to type one out! You're supposed to be a lot better at this than I am!!

But nayyyy don't tell the Matriarch you lived with!! Why would she want to know!! Not like she'd have been worried at losing two housemates!!

[ Did you miss this dramatic meow meow. ]

[chiefkeyward]

[Yep! he can feel that glare through the screen. He's almost thankful this is over text and not voice.]

My apologies?

[He's so confused! This man hasn't been scolded like this in centuries. What is his life right now?!]

It was not my intention to make you concerned on my behalf. To be honest, I spent the majority of my days at the Amberfall Library following my unceremonious return to Ellipsa. A question plagued my mind, one that prompted me to seek answers in my solitude.

[menphina]

[ It's what happens when you're actually cared for!! ]


Maybe I want to be concerned on your behalf, ever thought of that?! Who knew 'twas normal to care for people you call friends!!

[ Sooo huffy. ]

'tis bad enough Themis and Hythlodaeus aren't here any more, and Venat and Emet-Selch like to run off as well!

And I don't even know what Hermes is up to! Is this some kind of shared Ancient habit of yours?!

[chiefkeyward]

[Megumi's rants seem to never end! Normally, Lahabrea could ignore her wrath, but for some reason, he feels oddly guilty for worrying her. That is why, rather than confronting her with words, the Ancient employs an underhanded tactic.

Yes, he is working on a plan, and it involves something...cute.]

Megumi, I cannot speak on behalf of others, but I can assure you that my aloofness is not intended to be a slight against you. Nevertheless, I do have something interesting to share with you.

[Without further ado, he submits this picture of his latest companion as tribute.]

Her name is "Pyrrha" and I certainly hope you don't mind her presence at the estate.

[menphina]

[ She would scold him some more, absolutely!! But the moment he sends a picture of this Pyrrha, she-

Takes a minute to get back because she's crying from cuteness. ]


What is that!!! She's so cute!! I want to brush her fur and squeeze her face! How can something this adorable exist?! I want to see! How dare you, Lahabrea!! I love her!!

[chiefkeyward]

[Who would've guessed that such a distraction would be so effective? Pyrrha deserves extra treats.]

I had my suspicions that you would approve of her.

[He can finally get a word in without another wall of text flooding his DMs.]

You'll be able to brush her fur in a moment. I believe I owe you that and more.

[menphina]

I get to brush your beard too?
Why how kind of you Lahabrea!!
I'll put on some tea and get the brushes ready!


[ 😼

She is going to be a full on shite. ]

[chiefkeyward]

I beg your pardon. I never said—[ On second thought, he might as well let Megumi do as she pleases. This will be his penance for being an utterly horrible "friend".]—very well.

I wouldn't mind sipping some nice hot tea. That would be quite nice.

[He already knows she's going to be a little gremlin.]
