Luxuria Intro Log

PROCEEDING...

    With the real super power of teamwork, the Executors have successfully managed to make their way through the Gula Underside and defeat the previous Authority there. With Gerda now freed from her past regrets and given the power of an Executor, Gula and its inhabitants seem to be in safe hands... for now at least.

    More interesting – or concerning, perhaps – is the tentative ally you've gained in the form of Birdie, the mysterious girl who attacked some of your number in the Superbia Underside. While she seemed to be nothing but an enemy back then, a surprising connection has been formed with who you now understand to be the Authority of Purgatory itself. While she doesn't necessarily believe the Executors will be able to repair Purgatory, she is at least willing to admit that she shares their goals of wanting to see Purgatory restored... either to its former state, or to something new.

    But what does that mean for the Executors? And what does that mean for Rei supposedly born from the Authority's discarded heart? There are still many questions the Executors need to answer and as a blast of dry, hot air blows up from the next layer, you can only hope that Luxuria holds the key to at least some of them...

LUXURIA

♪♫ Wet & Dry – Sakuzyo


    After the humidity and noise of the Gula Underside, passing down to the Lust Layer of Purgatory initially seems like a relief. The air here is dry and sharp and though you hear noise drifting up to meet you and see a whole rainbow of lights clustered together in the dark, it doesn't seem as though it'll be quite as overwhelming as some of the bustling Layers you've had the pleasure of exploring before. But as you set foot down into Luxuria and feel the heat of the ground under your feet, you begin to wonder if you might just have hopped out of the frying pan and into the fire...

discutio: (dance alone to the beat of your heart)

No, it's--I'll handle it.
swordofajerk: (Glaring)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-04 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Sit. Down.

[He can and will get your boyfriends, Phoenix, but only if you fight him coming over and (gently) pulling you away from the counter.]
discutio: (gonna change you like a remix)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-04 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Even Phoenix knew better than to argue with Sword with that tone. He begrudgingly went along as he was tugged away, moving to a chair and sitting down.]
swordofajerk: (Default)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-04 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[See, this is why he likes you.

Once Phoenix is sitting down, Sword starts cleaning up, finishing whatever onigiri Phoenix hadn't first.]


What happened? [Was it Chiron again?]
discutio: (walk-on part in the war)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-04 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[He pushed his sunglasses a little more securely into place, hoping that would hide how red he presumed his eyes still were.]

I...am just contending with some troubling memories. That's all.
swordofajerk: (Sweatdrops)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-04 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Well.]

...how troubling?

[Are they going to cause a problem? Sword is bad at this.]
discutio: (from a cold steel rail)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-05 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
It's...nothing you need to worry about. It won't change anything.
swordofajerk: (Sweatdrops)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-05 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
You just stress-cooked over fifty onigiri, Phoenix.

[He's worried.]
discutio: (walk-on part in the war)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-05 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[He pressed a hand to his face with a bitter, tired laugh.]

Have you...remembered anything that perhaps made you doubt who you were? Who you used to be, at any rate.
swordofajerk: (Trying Not To Stab)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-05 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[A pause.]

Not myself, no. But other people.
discutio: (that's dragging me down)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-05 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Does it...ever worry you? I am well aware we are not exactly who we were, but even so...
swordofajerk: (Glaring)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-05 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Sword shrugs, remembers Phoenix can't see that, and then sighs.]

Maybe a little. I don't have any idea why I followed him, when I compare who he is here to what I remember. Makes me wonder if I was just as crazy.
discutio: (gonna change you like a remix)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-05 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps we all were. Or foolish, in some measure or another.
swordofajerk: (Excuse Me?)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-05 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[There's no response as Sword cleans up, packing all the rice balls into tupperware and putting them away.]

I'm starting to wonder if that's not a requirement for being an Executor.
discutio: (smile from a veil)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-05 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
...Maybe that's why we're even here at all.

[In Purgatory, rather than anywhere better--or worse, for that matter.]
swordofajerk: (Excuse Me?)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-05 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Who knows anymore. It's all cleaned up, was there anything else you were making?
discutio: (that's dragging me down)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-05 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
No--just that. I wanted something simple to take my mind off of things, that's all.
swordofajerk: (Default)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-05 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, should anything happen we'll have plenty of emergency rations.

[An attempt at a joke.]

You should rest.
discutio: (gonna change you like a remix)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-05 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather not. I find I might be...a bit too uneasy to try.
swordofajerk: (Are You Serious?)

[personal profile] swordofajerk 2022-05-05 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Spar, then?

[When all you have is a sword...]
discutio: (that's dragging me down)

[personal profile] discutio 2022-05-25 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps not the best idea. Forgive me, I would be a terrible training partner right now.
