You're probably one of the only people who's saying they'd prefer being on the boat, fyi, even if I get it.

[ He doesn't say he thinks whatever happens it isn't up to any of them even if it's in the air. Even if the question earns a frown as he shakes his head. ]

I don't think I have a choice? I was already told that - something's starting to happen to us we can't say no to. And it feels like if it does, I need to know everything I can about it.

[stares at him for a moment, considering]

Is it really somethin' that complicated, or do ya just wanna figure out what's going on with that other you, and yer brother?

I mean. I can pretty much guarantee he's dying, so. Good there.

[ He shakes his head. ]

But the Ticketmaster mentioned something in the recovery performance about people having powers that aren't Blessings. It's confirmed she's working on them getting back and, no, there's no option to say no thanks.

Seems weirdly pessimistic of ya, but. . .[given those memories, PROBABLY TRUE,]

You have a lotta faith in a lady that trapped ya on a boat, huh?

He literally offers himself to Death with a capital D. There's not many other ways for it to end.

[ he shakes his head a little. ]

The mirrors and physical changes have happened. And she gave us that orb? It felt weird. I don't think she's lying for whatever reason.

[....CONCERNING. Will follow back up on that!!]

What orb?

The one she gave people when we were offloading. Mine is a very specific shade of blue and feels weird to hold.

[a stare like

wait did he get one. shit did he swallow it. it's entirely possible he did. note to self check his belly later]

Huh!

So, magic shit. The point is, you trust her and think she's helping you.

Helping people who want it? Sure.

I don't want it.

Haah?

So what do you want?

... to not have it?

But if I'm going to be forced to have it then I have to learn to control it. Ergo, return to ship.

Hmmm.

Throw it into the ocean.

I did think about that but I get the feeling... like even if I did that it'd still happen.

Yeah, but then at least you wouldn't have the orb.

Ya said yer being forced, so if you don't actually want it? Rebel against it.

I figured giving it to someone else to hang onto was a better idea? In case it can actually be useful later.

Because I, Phoenix, don't have a lot of Blessings that would be useful in a fight but he does.

Hm. That's a good compromise.

. . .

[he can't help but let out a light laugh]

With you it always boils down to how useful you can be for others, eh?

[ WOW don't laugh at him!!!

colors some ]

- I'm blaming superhero genetics.

[ it's only half the reason ]

Is that what folks are callin' it now? Hah.

If that's what yer gut is telling you, guess you gotta see it through.

Isn't that something you'd be telling me anyway?

I mean something like "are you only going to see it halfway through?"

Yep! So as long as yer sticking to it, I ain't gonna tell ya not to go for it.

I dunno if everyone else feels the same way about goin' back though.

That's probably normal?

And given no one got a choice in it I don't see them not choosing to go back to be a particularly bad thing.

True, I just wish they could run if they wanted to. Even if that whole shindig is tryin' to help you guys in some fucked up away, if they don't want it , that's their choice to make.

Not really my business, ultimately.

Do you think it's not helping you?

You're one of us, so your part is your business.

Haaah? [scoffs]

I guess me bein' on the ship is a better deal than this cell, yeah. But ultimately I'm still a convicted felon. What, you want her giving me a free pass somehow, scrubbing my record clean?

I mean, she probably could but no -

I meant the whole whatever's going on with powers and abilities effects you too.
