[ Blade is the type of person who seems to hardly care about people think of him unless he's being consistently hounded, so is it anyone's surprise that one day he comes in and someone is beside him? And he's wearing this. ]
Dan Heng is here with me today.
[ ...He brought his dragon boyfriend. Despite his stoic expression and the fact he is capable of "smiles", one gets the impression he is pleased in saying this. ]
[ G'raha is also in a different set of clothes than usual and while it suits him, he certainly no longer feels like they really fit him anymore. He's long since grown past that person. ]
Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay.
[ He smiles, though there's definitely an additional "I Know What You Are" layer to it. ]
[ Even though Scarlet says as much and G'raha grants welcome, Blade this as well. He will poke at one of his arms and then hold out one hand for him to take. ]
[ He isn't sure how to answer that... on one hand, he is private and really would rather people just put it together on their own. On the other hand, it would save them both the awkwardness of people running with it. ]
While some have been talking about it, it would seem there are those who didn't want to assume. I'll leave it up to you to decide.
[ As Chara embraces their full troll role, but Blade doesn't think it's terrible. Look Tulipers all have a piece of 'lil shit energy' to them no matter how tall. ]
In the interests of differentiating myself from the others, I will take the role of the rabid xenophobic isolationist, taking a harsh stance against the intrusions of outsiders.
[They clear their throat, take a stance and say entirely flatly.]
[ Blade concludes, because that is what it sounds like to him?? He's very stoic, and may have noticed the phrase...but it doesn't sound like anyone is being tortured to him?? It's fine???
Well, that's something, at least. He pauses at his information, if only to consider it further. ]
...When they reappeared at that time, did anything appear or change over there?
Either way, he isn't the best at asking questions and just might drop things as it is, so he will move on from that - someone else can pursue that thread if they wish.
Yoonhee made mention of the fact that there was a version of the garden in the land behind the mirror, one with more spiritual energy. Is that where you happen to be from? Or where these new individuals hail from?
[ ... ]
Or would it be that other garden he mentioned? The less distorted one?
Edited (sry for edit just adding more clarification ) 2025-04-01 05:35 (UTC)
Your Yoonhee seems like he has spiritual powers. So what he said about spiritual energy is probably right, even if our ability to see that energy could be different.
I think he saw our garden, judging by the description.

Dan Heng is here with me today.
[ ...He brought his dragon boyfriend. Despite his stoic expression and the fact he is capable of "smiles", one gets the impression he is pleased in saying this. ]
no subject
Hello. I do hope I'm not intruding.
no subject
You're welcome here anytime. Besides, it might be good for someone outside of Tulip to get involved in this.
no subject
I have... been involved for a bit. [ Don't worry about it ]
no subject
Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay.
[ He smiles, though there's definitely an additional "I Know What You Are" layer to it. ]

Thank you.

no subject
You would say that. [ Blade is biased ]
no subject
Then, something like a tiny smirk, as if he will not deny being biased. ]
...I would.
no subject
Have you told them about me?
no subject
Though, he pauses at the question - almost like a deer in headlights. ]
...Was I supposed to? I thought they could tell we were together. Since most assumed, anyway.
no subject
While some have been talking about it, it would seem there are those who didn't want to assume. I'll leave it up to you to decide.
no subject
As we're talking about it now, those in here will now by default as of now.
[ That settles it for Blade. Otherwise everyone else can assume the handholding means what it means. ]

no subject
[ Blade merely says, though he knows Dan Heng probably will still feel embarrassed anyways... ]
no subject
I know. [ He may be feeling extra aware because he's in his true from. Much exposed very wow ]
no subject
...they won't give you too much trouble.
[ As Chara embraces their full troll role, but Blade doesn't think it's terrible. Look Tulipers all have a piece of 'lil shit energy' to them no matter how tall. ]
no subject
lil shit energy is easier to deal with than the teen girls making jokes about if they banged yet ]
no subject
Blade's going to let him do that, though he has one more thing to add: ]
I'm proud to show you off.
no subject
His ears will be dusted with a bit of color as he makes a sound in response to that. Stop. ]

...Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
There are some events that have occurred on this side.
We may have questions for you. Are you available to speak?
no subject
[ but he's standing aside for now, just in case their questions happen to overlap ]
no subject
[The wagasa tilts slightly in his grip, either a bow or an acknowledgment; either way, Yamanbagiri is here and has probably been listening.
He sounds a little exasperated, but perhaps it's because he is a busy umbrella bee.]
I can make some time. What did you want to know?
no subject
[ But there is one question he wanted to start off with- ]
First...it looks like some names and faces reappeared of people I don't recall seeing. After the last execution.
Why?
[ In the Promenade, he means. ]
no subject
[He seems to use this expression a lot. It's hard to tell how much of an understatement or overstatement it is, which may be the point.
There's a moment of thought, and then he sounds kind of bemused when he continues.]
You don't remember them because they were from before. The other loops, I think.
But I don't know exactly why they reappeared, either.
no subject

...When they reappeared at that time, did anything appear or change over there?
no subject
It's probably the Blade definition of fine, at least!]
Their information also appeared on the other side. It seemed like they remembered that much, but not much else.
They just awoke recently, after all.

His attention is elsewhere. ]
Why were they asleep?
no subject
My theory is that it was a lack of spiritual energy. It is all spirits, after all.

Who is in this garden with you?

Everyone looks different this time.
A strange loop.

Instead of time loops... maybe these are alternate timelines.
