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!

[ Rei's throat ties itself into a knot and she can't speak. Her mind is still whirling, reeling at the sudden bombshell of information, things she knows about herself but still can't remember. She'd been on her own for so long before the other Executors had arrived and now she has friends, a family. It's almost too much.

But eventually, she manages to nod. Her eyes are overbright, on the verge of swelling with tears. ]

Mm. [ And then a little more effusively, with another nod. ] Mhmm...! Y–yes... I... th–that'd make me... really happy.

[ He doesn't say much else now. He was prepared to tell her she could think about it, that she didn't have to give him an answer now or ever really. He was prepared to assuage any worries that she might just be a stand in for his son, that he wouldn't love her as much (he does).

But when she agrees to it he just smiles softly in that way he always does and takes his hands off her shoulders, silently opening his arms to invite her in for the hug this time. ]

[ Rei's just a tiny little thing but when she steps in for that hug, it's with enough force to almost overbalance him. She doesn't say anything – she really, truly can't right now, but she buries her face into his shoulder and clings onto him fiercely.

It's overwhelming. It's a little frightening – having something means you can lose it, after all, no matter what. But... Rei trusts him. If Achilles tells her that he really and truly won't be pushed away then she'll believe in him. ]

[ He almost falls back but corrects his balance right away. He holds her tightly, even tighter than he did before, and begins to stroke her hair with one hand. ]

...You don't have to change what you call me right away if you're not ready yet or don't want to. But please know... I can think of no greater honor than being your father.

So thank you for letting me, Rei.
