he does not lose his eye again... this time
mostly because I'm heading off on hiatus in like a week and I'd rather play the fallout of his eye loss than leave it handwaved during hiatus
also EYYYYYY he finally has an excuse to remember to ask for fireproof underwear!!
because! he is now! bare-assed! in a mine!
Kat this just got so much better
8D this whole thread has been a sequence of 'it got better'
y'all we're good at escalation
and the sad thing is I'm like how else can we escalate... because there are likely Ways
want to make it so Evan can't give them light? they have to grope around in the dark?
(also should I go submit this to the bounty board now??)
yes please do! I think you can hit up uh... whatever Chris left and go LOOK 15 COMMENTS we're all at 5 now
or he's like I give you light but then you have naked slime guy to stare at
maybe right after they find the holodisc so they have 1% of uplifting moment before darkness
they are all going to look back on this little quest and groan
teeny little fragment that leads to another mission
TuT Y'all had better undertake that one for me in November if it happens in November
HE HAS MADE SOME BAD CHOICES ok
and has traumatized a child
Gross and ichor-slimed D:
why is she in a cave with two spirits, that's what she wants TO KNOW (since clearly that's what's happening)
she doesn't even care that he's naked
just what the flying duck he was ON FIRE
imagine you're a fire elemental (or as good as)
and a giant worm tackles you
what's going to be your panic response, jeez
probably the part where mentioning ahead of time I am a fire elemental so that if an attack happens I don't accidentally have to hold back because a burnable person is NEAR ME
okay maybe she's right about that
his family's just awkward to explain, okay
asldfjk now we know precisely the point chihiro is going to !! over at evan... and family can be awkward even when they're totally human normal probably
XD please chide him thoroughly, Chihiro
he's still even after all this time sort of quietly avoiding telling people he's not human
laughs she can at least firmly toss her hands up and go she does not care and she doubts anyone else does either and if they do tell her she'll go talk to them
??? how that helps is a mystery
chides him chides urahara they're still down a mine and one of them is naked, this is worth laughing about once it's all over
and yes we will continue to follow along through november... thumbs up
I cackle at the idea of them both being appropriately contrite at the total righteous indignation of a ten-year-old
I mean yeah look at that face
Also god Evan Urahara is gonna have to let you borrow his haori pls don't light it on fire
AND IT COULD ESCALATE. It could escalate so bad Urahara has to bankai. No one wants that
Talk about traumatizing people
ohooo hey see but if he has to do that it'll overshadow Evan's embarrassing brush with traumatizing their smol friend!
Giant puppet ladies will definitely do that

I mean
But they would all have to be literally on the verge of death because he's terrible
OH YEAH that'd be an effective pants-shitter of a moment, wow
I'm pretty sure that is verbatim what the guy he used it on said
He doesn't do this often. It tends to leave a pretty negative impression when the highest manifestation of your WEAPON THAT IS PART OF YOUR SOUL looks like that
But I mean Evan self immolates so really chihiro has some great bodyguards up in here
And she's scolding both of them
LMAO UH IF IT ESCALATES THAT MUCH I'D NEED A SURVIVAL PLAN HAHAHA
she's pretty though... pretty giant puppet lady
not the scariest thing to Chihiro until she like, tries to eat her ig
FFFF nah she just... Restructures things. Perfect for cave ins where large explosions will just make you die
Or ripping people open I guess if that's your thing
not really, Chihiro says while looking faintly green
HAHAHA PUSH EVERYONE TO THE BRINK OF DEATH JUST FOR BANKAI. Look I'd be all for it
I want him to use it at least once and he's such a little twit about it
I play the squishiest one who will require healing if it's getting that bad
He does know healing magic and if anything really devastating were to happen he could... Restructure her wounds but it's not a perms solution. It would just hold until they got out
But I mean slow noxious gas death will only hurt a little while
Yeah, there's like... squints she would think Haise or... idk how much of Olivia's healing she knows about
she'd be the first to go down, it's true
Like theoretically he could just reconfigure the mineshaft so it could let in some air and they could escape up and out
MOST FLASHY ESCAPE PLAN EVER
is this how dungeon escape ropes work too
this is a disaster what even happened
give them a brief respite as they make some progress towards the fragment, and then hammer them with something awful when they reach it?
bonus points for if they inadvertently cause said disaster
ie Evan's bad life choice re: letting the worm past them
exactly all of this, let's go for gold friends
and a special bond was formed
also Evan has a reason to stay in bed for a whole month
He's just like IM DONE. IM DONE WITH THIS SHIT GUYS
I ALMOST GOT EATEN BY A WORM. I WAS NAKED. AND THEN I ALMOST SUFFOCATED ON NOXIOUS GASES
spends his next month writing angry letters to Alastair leadership
AND HAD TO BE RESCUED BY URAHARA'S GIANT FUCKED UP PUPPET LADY
forget losing an eye, forget killing a God, forget leaving behind his sweet alien child
it's the giant scary puppet woman that does it
I think suffocating on gas can cause hallucinogenic effects, too, depending on the gas, yes?
kdfjksl urahara wonders how much of this he can
so it could be giant puppet woman bad trip, at that
did you seriously summon a giant puppet woman to rip a hole through the top of the mine or was that part of the trip
yeah he'd be like, you know what, I don't even want to know
never tell me how we got out of the mind
chihiro meanwhile is just like
STOP DENYING YOU'RE A SPIRIT
everyone else: is that seriously what you got out of this, child
LISTEN at this point even Evan has to admit that doesn't seem strictly unlikely
everyone around him is just like urahara we know you're not human. come on
though sorry evan she's got the same thing on you just like
that normalises everything
also makes all urahara's weird TO THE DEATH things suddenly normal
soul reapers don't do anything halfway
see if she knew that she'd just be like sir
but no wonder you have trouble with this whole alive thing
you know, giggles aside, Evan would be so fascinated by her concept of spirits
as like a catch-all descriptor of some very different specimens
yeah, hers is fairly broad until she gets into specific kinds, and she's not hyper knowledgeable on those
... Evan do you like study projects
i would vote let them study about spirits from Japan and uh... i guess hey could ask... that dude.... Urahara
he does seem like he would have some insights, HUH URAHARA
