Week 5, ~5am Friday

[A while after Alastor asked Roland to step out for a moment, Aoi leaves the room and Alastor pokes his head out to look around for his boyfriend.]

C'mon, you can get back to bed now.

It already has been useful, but...yeah. If he was there at the center of the tree, he must know something about who's actually cultivating it.

[godspiousjasper]

Has it?

[ He's just a bit tired right now, so trying to sort out his thoughts on all this while also trying to wake up a bit as well was a bit tricky. ]

...Have... we considered that whoever is doing so... may be someone who has a lot of magical capabilities?

[superstylishsquid]

[...Come on, let's sit on the bed.]

He's the one who explained to me about Delta's background. He was a victim in the last Nonary Games, and he didn't forget any of that.

[godspiousjasper]

[ Oh he'll reluctantly give in and go with him to sit on the bed, though he's still going to be leaning on him a bit. ]

So i'm sure it has to do more with the tree instead of the games, i'd imagine.

[superstylishsquid]

It has to be, if he was there at the heart of the tree. That means he must know something we could use.

Something more than background information, considering Delta didn't wipe that, from either Aoi or myself.

[godspiousjasper]

Unless it wasn't Delta who was the one who wiped that information from him.

[ Haha no. He hates thinking about that. ]

[superstylishsquid]

That still leaves me, though. I'm a native of the same underworld the Qliphoth is from, I am a Devil Arm...in fact, it's even possible my lost powers were given to someone else here, and I just know...so much about the demonic aspects of what's going on here.

If whoever handled the memory wiping cared about general information, they'd have wiped that too.

[godspiousjasper]

That's what still eludes me. Why they'd go to such an extent for both Aoi and Zack but not you.

[ All of this was almost beginning to make his head hurt a bit now. ]

[superstylishsquid]

'S why I think the two of them should have known something more relevant to this tree in specific. Aoi remembers stuff about the Nonary Games, I remember stuff about the Qliphoth and Devil Arms...but if Aoi was there at the heart of the tree, he doesn't remember.

[godspiousjasper]

There's... definitely more to this than what meets the eye when it comes to who knows what.

[ He exhaled a deep breath and just leaned over to put his head on Alastor's shoulder. Something's nagging at him but he doesn't want to think more about it. ]

...Do we have any time to sleep a little more?

[superstylishsquid]

Yeah, it's still pretty early.

[godspiousjasper]

[ With that said, he's just too tired to do much else. So enjoy being pushed back to lie on the bed properly, Alastor.

Since Roland is VERY much going to just cuddle up close to him, one arm draped over his chest. ]
