[Guess which temple Muscovy is currently in, tucked in a corner somewhere, using his backpack as a backrest and playing around with the new emoji app? It's not that he likes being in the temples, no matter which god_ess they belong to, but considering how things outside took a turn for the worse instead of for the better, he has decided on spending siren times inside - this time in Delight's temple. Which gave him time to waste.]

There are little pictures in the comms. Why?

[None of the comms that he had before had those. And also]

What do these mean? [He can figure out the others - people with different faces, and cats with different faces, hearts and a star. But those four are confusing.]


[ooc: If you'd rather approach him in person, that is fine, too!]

Heh. Sounds familiar. Not real different from here, is it?

Well, 'cept for the bad things. Those seem worryingly common here.

I haven't been here for long enough to compare the frequency yet. But at least we don't have to get into gooey pods each month while things get a bit broken around us, yes?

[skelebro]

...yeah, that sounds like that'd be a real downer. There a particular explanation for that?

[muscovy]

The ship jumped to a different place sometimes, and if you weren't inside a pod it would have been like jumping off a very high cliff for you. Maybe it wasn't supposed to do that originally, it was a bit broken.

[Sounds like...something superluminal thing. Interesting. An earlier version of himself might've claimed that such a thing couldn't be possible, but he's long since given up on denying implausibility.]

So, you like this better?

[He pauses to think about that, and then shakes his head.]

My mother and big bro don't remember me here, and mother is being very silly about being family still.

[skelebro]

How d'you mean, "silly"?

[That prompts the arching of a supraorbital ridge. Doesn't bode well.]

[muscovy]

She avoids me.

[That is very silly behaviour, in his opinion.]

[skelebro]

Ah.

[Not sure what to say to that, to be honest.]

Sorry, kid. You got any clue why?

[muscovy]

She can be very silly about having friends.

[That's the best that he has, really. It seems to be one of her issues with being in a friend-or-family relationship with other people that manifests there. He'll figure it out and fix it eventually, though.]

[skelebro]

["Silly." That's certainly a word for it.]

Well, I hope she comes 'round, yeah?

[muscovy]

She will eventually, because I will be working on it, yes? Because we are family and family doesn't leave or hate or avoid one another forever, only sometimes for a while.

[skelebro]

[Sans laughs a little at that. True enough. Family's all that family's got, after all. Or something like that.]

I wish ya luck, kid.

[muscovy]

Thank you.
