Don't 'what' me. You know what.

[princess_of_ida]

No, you need to give me context, Junpei. My fucking wife is one of them. Forgive me if I'm preoccupied with trying to figure out how the Void is screwing with everyone while I can't directly interact with them.

[Everyone acting weird that she didn't alter was now grouped under one umbrella. That's all she got.]

[moondregs]

Wife?

[ All right, shakes that off. Not the time. ]

Did you do something to my brain?

[princess_of_ida]

[Ianthe did not mean to call Gilia wife. That wasn't public knowledge or even something she had settled within herself. Or thought she had. So she'll just pretend she never said it.]

Yeah. I analyzed it to learn about the jellyfish bit. Do you not remember that?

[moondregs]

I mean something beyond just looking at it. Did you change anything?

[princess_of_ida]

[Ianthe has lied her entire life to keep her sister's secret safe and no one that wasn't already in the know suspected. It was easy to lie and be convincing.]

No. Not intentionally. I suppose there could have been unforseen side effects. Did something happen?

Aside from Gilia's cookies.

[moondregs]

I was acting like an idiot for days ... what drug lasts that long?

[princess_of_ida]

I don't know. This is a whole new world. Are you okay now?

[moondregs]

Mentally, I think so ... but I really pissed someone off and I have no clue how to deal with it.

[princess_of_ida]

I'm glad you're okay. If my analysis accidentally caused some reaction I couldn't predict, I'm sorry.

[That should take care of things unless John spills the beans later.]

My suggestion us to let it lie for now. There's too much shit going on, everyone's on high alert, and nothing productive will come from it. I've this settle, I'm help you fix this with whomever it was.

[moondregs]

It was Ningguang. She didn't like that I was making light of things. It's really embarrassing.

Wow did I typo all over that last tag and not notice

[princess_of_ida]

Ah... that will be a tough nut to crack. I know she likes tobacco and uses a pipe to smoke it. Perhaps a gift and an apology will suffice.

[moondregs]

I don’t know. Other people were trying to reason with her but it just made things worse.

[princess_of_ida]

That's why I said let it lie for now. Give her time to cool down, for things to come into better perspective. Likely she has been under the same stress as we all are.

[moondregs]

All right.

[ Still wondering about the ‘wife’ thing. Between this and John calling House his husband he’s wondering what’s with all this sudden matrimony. ]

[princess_of_ida]

[Look, it was an accident. It's complicated.]

On another note, have you seen my skeleton? The one named Viola.

[moondregs]

How many skeletons do you have?

No, I haven’t.

[princess_of_ida]

Two human - Yorik and Viola.
One deer - Craven
One yeti - Prospero

Viola is missing. It didn't return with Yorik when I called then back from helping out at Yennefer's cabin.

[moondregs]

A yeti?

Did it maybe get stuck in a bush or something? Can you track them?

[princess_of_ida]

Prospero stays outside the village at Gilia's house as a deterrent. Like a guard dog.

That's the thing, Junpei: I should be able to track it. But I can't. I still feel it exists, but I can't command or locate it. It's unsettling.

[moondregs]

Why a yeti?

A rogue skeleton really shouldn't be the least unsettling thing in town right now, and yet ...

[princess_of_ida]

Why not a yeti?

Just... keep an eye out for it? I'm keeping the others all locked up, so any human skeleton sighted should be Viola.

[Or a dead person.]

[moondregs]

‘Should be’.

Fine. I’ll let you know.

[princess_of_ida]

You can always check the base of the skull. My sigil is pressed into the bone there like a stamp.

[moondregs]

Assuming I can safely get that close to it.
