Ⅰ. written / voice
[ Lukius has been around for a bit, settling himself into Luceti, and while he's spent a lot time lurking on the journals today's his first attempt at actually posting to them. He starts simple enough with a written post, feeling slightly sheepish about the questions. ]
How many of you have a Church or similar in your worlds? Can you tell me about them?
[ He's more than a little curious about the way things are run outside of Areulla, especially considering how well that seemed to go over for them. A few moments after, he switches to voice. ]
If there are others from Areulla here, those who are friends with Caius should know he's arrived safely.
[ And this is hesitation. ]
[ filtered from rommy — but it's a measly 20% or so ]
A young girl named Rommy has also arrived here from my world. She ... may appear harmless, but I'd like for all of you to keep in mind she's not what she seems.
That is all.

[Voice]
Even if we didn't defeat her then we would have fended her off just like the other times! [Probably. Maybe. Why is acknowledging help from others such an issue, and from his brother no less. It probably wouldn't kill him to show a little thanks, or at least it didn't when he thanked Tilkis and Forest back home. Plus this really does nothing for the whole 'didn't mother ever teach you any manners' thing.
Pause. Awkwardly trying to find the right words.]
Thanks. I know you can take care of yourself... But so can I! [He's beaten plenty of Spots after all, and if Rommy is a Spot then that's just what she is. Another Spot. But no, no, not turning this into more of an argument.] You understand why I would be worried though right? Even if you say you can look after yourself the big brother has to keep an eye out on the little brother.
[Having lived a fairly lonely life full of upset it really does no good to dwell on things in the past, so focusing on the here and now is best. Right now they're brothers, and making sure your brother is safe and going strong is just something a brother should do. Or at least Caius thinks so anyway.]
[Voice]
Her homeworld was too close. She would have destroyed you for sure if you tried. [ A pause, shaking his head. ] You and your companions did fend her off ... but so close to home, she regained her strength too fast.
[ The stop there is the slightest bit abrupt, because he's still going on in his head but ... he's not sure how well it would go over bringing it up anyway. ]
[Voice]
What do you mean, that there were other worlds and places back in Areulla like here? [What are awful last minute plot twists anyway.
Though pleasing to hear that they were able to stop Rommy again the fact she quickly regained her strength as soon as she was defeated again was bothersome. Normally she would retreat before trying anything again, so this 'homeworld' business must be incredibly important, moreso than stopping the Pope.]
I didn't know anything about a 'homeworld' or what was going on after leaving Janna except that Couber was still alive.
[Voice]
The purpose of the incomplete Life Magic was to open a portal to the Spots' homeworld. The closer the portal was to completion, the stronger they got. [ ... ] After you defeated Rommy, we were going to stop the King from fully opening the portal.
[ We!! He wanted to go, too. :c ]
[Voice]
Give him a moment, this is quite a lot to take in. Sure he knew the King was involved after what the Pope said but not what his involvement was exactly.]
So it wasn't to bring people back at all. [Which means someone, probably the King, convinced the Pope that's exactly what it did.] It sounds like we got pretty far if we ended up going on to stop the King. Were you going to go with us?
[If he was tired, injured injured and then helped fight Rommy he can't imagine he would let his brother continue on in order to protect him.]
[Voice]
I wanted to. You wouldn't let me.
[ ... And he knows it was a bad idea in the first place, but damnit it was his battle, too, Caius. ]
[Voice]
[Voice]
[ ... He'd guess. ]
[Voice]
[Out of all the other people he knows with brothers-- no one.]
[Voice]
[ Jerk. :c ]
[Voice]
It's the kinder of the two things, having you wait instead of you coming along and only getting more hurt!
[He's sorry? /brohug]
[Voice]
[ Not that he doubts his brother or anything, but ... well, he doubts his brother. A little. ]
[Voice]
We'd handle it. The King would be stopped along with anything else he might have had planned!
[This party doesn't run on doubt. This is why you're getting left out in the cold.]
[Voice]
Is that truly what you believe?
[ Can't tell if admirable is just really fucking stupid. ]
[Voice]
Yes. If the King needs to be defeated to set everything right then I'll stop at nothing to see the King dealt with!
[Three parts admiration, one part stupidity. That's a nice balance.]
