Avaritia Arrival Log

AVARITIA

It's Vegas, baby! Oh wait, I already made that joke on the location page... With Esme's iron-fisted reign brought to an end and the Executors given time to take a very well-earned break, it finally comes down to descend to the next layer of Purgatory. Thankfully, with this being the group as a whole's second descent, things are a little less nerve-wracking this time around... maybe. Hopefully. ... Probably. Welcome to Avaritia. Feel free to use this arrival log to chronicle your initial misadventures in the Greed Layer of Purgatory. As noted in the location page, several locations will require further investigation if you'd like to get some information on them, so get investigating! Drop a comment down to the Investigation Request subheader if you'd like to explore. Get out there and have fun!

I guess that is normal, but... 😩
Have you ever had a job before, Beast?

[twibeast]

[ a pause ]

No
Yes

[ ... ]

Does helping run a small country count

[alcahest]

I'm not sure. Maybe?
I don't know a lot about what's involved...

[



Mona Lisa is typing... ]

You ran a country?!

[twibeast]

Oh
Right I only told Rei

[ and like... normally he would be less casual and more guarded about this particular piece of info and anything regarding his kid because he doesn't want to make anything Weird but. Well. He kinda has a whole other slew of information now that he's more concerned with guarding. ]

Yes though I am only assisting with it until the rightful ruler is of coronation age, as is my job as their father.

[ May as well just. Put it out there now. And let all the implications that sentence comes with just. Sit there. ]

[alcahest]

I didn't know you had a child!

[ when Mona has to really think about a response, it takes her a long while to send a reply. typically, she won't even start typing until she's decided what to say, and then she composes a message with slow, deliberate focus.

in this situation, there is no hesitation at all. ]

You must have been a wonderful father.

[twibeast]

[ Instantly Beast finds himself feeling very fond and warm, the certainty in Mona's words hitting him right in the figurative heart. He feels... the most like himself again since the fight in the Underside. ]

Thank you, Lady Mona. I like to think that I was, even if not all of my memories are back yet, so I am happy to hear you say that.

I think you would have quite liked him, should you have ever had the chance to meet. He was a very sweet and lovely swan child, kind and sensitive much like yourself.

[ It helps, talking about Odile right now. It grounds and reminds him that no matter who he was in the past, no matter what he was, no matter what else his memories may reveal, there was one thing about himself that would always be true before anything else.

He was Odile de Cygnia's father and nothing could ever take that away. ]
