⇨ THE PRINCE IS DEAD
Who: Everyone!
When: Day 178 - B1: Day 6
Where: The Carnival and sometimes on top of the Heart of Stone.
What: Now that the Prince is dead and gone, there's a lot left to sort out. As the remaining servants are liberated and those captured by the Prince are tended to, it's time for recovery and goodbyes.
Warnings: Nothing in particular.

HOME GROUND↴ At long last, it is over. The Prince is dead, and all of his stolen Names have been restored - all that's left to do is treat the wounds and move on. For the first day or two, the Ringmaster will be arranging passage for the servants that are left, all of which have remembered their names for the first time in years. The earth elemental that had been trapped and forced to serve as the Prince's manor, the Heart of Stone, is happy to help for the moment. It appreciates the Ringmaster's mercy, and is free after untold eons of imprisonment. Yet, there are plenty of aspects that are far from simple. There are still servants left mad and transformed into beasts, with no easy way to change them back. The Prince's spells outlive him, and those bearing his poison and his curses will have a difficult road ahead of them. Though most of the bestial servants have been rounded up, and a large number that had been reduced to unmoving statues returned, even the Ringmaster can't return them to normal so simply. The next week is for rest and for settling remaining affairs. If you want to bid farewell to any particular NPCs, or assure care is given where it's needed, now is the time to do it. ► A CURE: The Ringmaster will tell everyone simply - there is no simple way to undo another fae's magic. The Prince's powers were essentially on par with hers, which means that those who have been transformed to stone and those that were cursed into beasts and driven insane are not something she can trivially fix. It will take the work of the carnival and a couple weeks of treatment to shed the curse of stone, and the maddened servants are an entirely separate matter. She will do what she can, but for the most part she is arranging for the Prince's servants to be cared for elsewhere. At least for now, the Ringmaster will be animating the stone portions of people's bodies with magic, though those portions will still be a bit clumsy and numb feeling. ► THE NEW HEARTSTONE: In the absence of the prince, the Heart of Stone will be taking over the remains of the Prince's realm and preventing it from collapsing into void. As it turns out, the manor had been an earth elemental all along - a form of Wyld Fae almost on par to the Prince and Ringmaster themselves. How the Heart of Stone was enslaved is a long story presumably, but the Ringmaster considers it to be a sign of the Prince's own depravity. The Heart will be allowing visitors for the first couple days of this period through the portal, but keep in mind you are essentially just walking around on its body. At least the realm has a floor, now, instead an endless abyss surrounding it. |

What does that mean? [He growls, removing his hand.]
no subject
He gets Gongenzaka's point. Of course he shouldn't sacrifice his ideals for strength. He doesn't want to. But when he thinks about Gongenzaka lying in a pool of his own blood with his arm missing... when he thinks of Yuzu evaporating into that machine, terrified... all he can do is feel. The weight of his emotions almost suffocates him.]
If I save you, it's worth it. [He knows that isn't the answer Gon is going to want to hear.] I want to... get stronger in the ways I believe in. But if I had to, for you and Yuzu, I...
[He can't deny it, if it was the choice he had to make he'd take any cost for them.
It's almost unbelievable how life or death everything has become for them. He's never had to be so afraid that they wouldn't be there anymore.]
no subject
Is hypocrisy your new goal, YUUYA?
[He quiets, half heaving as he continues with a more quiet tone.] Yuuya.... ....I, the man Gongenzaka, am not against you being stronger...but please-stick to what you believe in.
If you intend to learn magic... ....please. Make it a magic you can stomach.
no subject
He flinches at the accusation, his argument crumbling. Not because he agrees entirely, but because to Gongenzaka, who can't stand the idea of Yuya being hurt instead... He doesn't want to hear it.
He lowers his hands and his gaze, staring dumbly at the pillows for a moment.] So there's stuff you wouldn't do for my sake no matter what, right?
[His tone isn't accusatory at all. Just curious where Gongenzaka draws the line. It doesn't mean Yuya would never cross it, but he's never questioned where the limit is that Gongenzaka wouldn't protect him, or try.]
no subject
I am saying there is difference between seeking out those situations, and being caught within them by chance..!
True power is not strength, Yuuya..! [He adds, a half lamentation of his own.] ...it is the power to make certain you never need that strength at all...
[There is a reason, after all, that he intends to place focus in healing, now.]
no subject
He's laughing, a little too strongly but no less warm and genuine. The tears in his eyes start to fall, but he doesn't notice.]
I think--I think we're talking about different things now. [He stutters a bit through the laughing, covering his mouth to muffle it until he stops and looks at Gongenzaka.]
I'm not seeking anything like that. You don't either but it still happens, and next time I want to be able to protect you.
[But he got so focused on protecting Gon's physical safety, he forgot he should be protecting his happiness, too.] I'm not trying to get hurt in your place. I just want to keep you from hurting at all.
no subject
[Andddd there's the standard Gongenzaka sputter.] Y-You were the one who was saying such things as 'I'll get stronger no matter the cost'!!! It us difficult to think of it as something else, put with such a tone!!!
[IT WAS SORT OF CREEPY ACTUALLY]
no subject
He'd prefer if they don't have to test it, anyway.] I won't learn magic that's going to hurt me or anyone else. I'll find a better way to be stronger.

This time when he's pulled into the hug, he returns it. They're a lot nicer when they don't leave him feeling like his spine is going to snap, but he's not telling Gongenzaka that.] Thanks.
[It's for his friends, after all.] But right now I'm going to support you. You have a lot of rest ahead of you! And if you want to talk about...
[Well, anything he went through. Yuya will listen.]
no subject
....Well. ....considering that I, the man Gongenzaka am the one laying here...
...perhaps you could do the talking first, aah..? ...I.... [..............he's tired, he finds. ....Very tired, still.] ....I, the man Gongenzaka, feel I have yet to make up for a lack of food and rest, yet...
no subject
He gives Gon's shoulder a gentle push, intending for him to let go and lay down properly while Yuya sits up.] Yeah, okay.
[And yet he's still quiet at first, his claws digging into the pillows as he thinks. Gongenzaka's already in pain. He doesn't want to bring him more, bringing up every bad thing and worry he's had.]
Yuzu didn't get hurt at all. She's okay. [Of course that's his first good thought in the context of everything else.] And I'll come by every day while you get better. I can bring you food, too. Is there's anything from your old trailer you need brought here?
no subject
....I, the man Gongenzaka, cannot think of anything just now.... I would want to make certain, most of all, that I, the man Gongenzaka, have Suzu's supplies at the least however. [Snubbull needs her Thingsssss.]
no subject
[Right now he'd rather ride on this good energy than waste it on sleeping. He'll rest later... or try, and fail, and end up sitting by the lake. But he moves to stand, intent on keeping his word.]
andddd tied off, ye
[He'll just watch him leave then. They'll pull out of this...eventually.]
