Eclipses it.

[Someone finally woke up and is just a bit disoriented.

. . .

But he's still in space, so hey, that confirms this is not a But It Was All Just a Dream scenario. Sigh. TIME TO TEXT THE BRO]

Hey Clay

You awake?

. . .

Am just now realizing it's difficult to tell when it's day or night. . .

text!!

[geonomy]

[Clay had been over to the Huntress several times to watch over Apollo, read him some boring astronomy books (not to him though!!) in hopes that it might get him to stir, even knowing that it wouldn't, telling him about what's going on... Just anything that might speed up the process a bit.

And of course, on one of the days he doesn't visit, he gets a text from Apollo.

WELP. He sure is heading to the cargo bay as he texts back:]

HEY

IM AWAKE

WHEND U WAKE UP

Voice; couple days ago

[save_the_souls]

[Okay so today he managed to lose his arm and eye to some strange fox girl, and got some magic powers in return. Its been a weird day, and Allen's not even sure how to explain it to Clay...even though he knows he probably should. Since you know, boyfriends tend to like to know when their SO is missing a limb and all that.

So when he contacts, it's through voice- because well, screw typing when you only have one hand. ]

Hey, can I come over? Today's been a day.

Voice;

[geonomy]

[Now, Clay's been having problems of his own as well. They're not losing-a-limb worthy, but it's enough to make him unable to return to his own ship for a while. Thanks to Hermione, he's managed to gain a little bit of control over things, but there's still accidents that happen. Those accidents make him hesitate at Allen's message, a little wince on his face that Allen can't see as he talks back.]

Uh... Maybe? It's been a, ah, day here too.

Hey.

Do you think New Years mean anything when you don't know what year it is?

01/01

[geonomy]

huh

well

happy xxxx

Video; 2/03 or whenever upgrades get processed

[save_the_souls]

[Allen hadn't told Clay he was going to get an aging upgrade. He had thought about telling him, but ultimately decided it would've come off too much like he was trying to get Clay's approval- and surprising is better.

So on their nightly calls, he turns on the video filter. The difference isn't too obviously, he only aged about a year physically. But there's slight differences, to both his voice and his appearance. ]

Hey Cowboy. You free?

Video; 2/03ish

[geonomy]

[There's a pause before Clay answers back, a smile on his face, but some confusion on his features. There's something different about this, but he can't really place his finger on it, not yet. But he doesn't want to keep Allen hanging, so:]

... Yeah? Uh, yeah! Yeah, I'm free.

[monolike]

Hey Clay, I have a question! I made a floor map of that downed ship from that singing planet. Would you like a copy?

voice

[geonomy]

[HOLY SHIT] Do I?!

You bet I do! You want anything in return?

Action; 3/06;

[save_the_souls]

[ The water planet was certainly different than any place they had gone before, and that included all of Allen's adventures. And while Allen was by no means afraid of water like several people in the fleet, being submerged in water all day long was still weird.

So when they reached the hotel room that is thankfully airlocked? He can't help but feel completely relieved, even as they step into the room, soaking wet. ]

Oh thank God, I think I feel air.

Action; 3/06;

[geonomy]

[Clay wasn't afraid of the water either; in fact, he'd been trained to be a powerful swimmer, to work through the buoyancy of water, and to scuba dive, so this wasn't new to him. But being in the water all day? That was new, and very, very weird.

He tips his head back and lets out a groan as he steps into the air, water dripping from everywhere and making his clothes cling to his skin. There's no carpeting, as the natives expect people to come in sopping wet, but at least the bed looks comfortable enough.]

Finally! I was afraid we'd have to sleep floating in the water!

[Which, again, he'd know how to do, but he'd rather not.]

[robitussin]

so i'm being forced to tell you that my birthday is in like a week

forced isn't the right word but i don't want to sleep on the metaphorical couch so here we are

you don't have to do anything though the deal was just that i had to tell you and now you know so bye

[geonomy]

NO WAIT DON'T BYE YET

[huaaaaagh]

okay apologies in advance for this, but

how do you deal with the fact that you're essentially performing intergalactic porn when you have sex here

[huaaaaagh]

[.............]

[About an hour or two after this message, when he's sure Clay's conversation with Eizen is finished, he'll send an explanation]

Okay, I'll try to summarise.

So that Seraphim, Eizen, is from a much earlier point of history in their world. And back in his time, there was people who called themselves Exorcists. But unlike how I get my power, they got theirs by enslaving Seraph. And they were led by a Shepherd. Which is very bad.

Also Sorey doesn't know about any of this, as far as I know. So...it's probably going to be messy for awhile.

[ An invitation pops up in his inbox.]
