004. With no alarms, and no surprises

[drydrown]

For those of you who were wondering what happens if those insipid little stones we were given break: I still wouldn't necessarily recommend it until we're certain that it's absolutely nothing, but...



...Well, I certainly don't feel any different, either.

did you seriously smash a piece of your soul just to spite that zee person

[drydrown]

I smashed a piece of my soul because it's been agitating me for quite some time. Whatever it was, it can't have been terribly important - I feel fine, and I suppose it's good to know that breaking parts of your soul doesn't hurt any? - so I doubt "that Zee person" is going to lose any sleep over what I just did.

[ossifragant]

I mean no, probably not?

but that doesn't mean it DIDN'T do something
just because you don't notice it doesn't mean someone who knows you isn't going to go "holy shit what happened"

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, I get why you'd smash it. The half ounce these things weigh really is a burden.

[drydrown]

It was agitating me, that's all. Besides, it didn't look like it was long for this world anyway.

[blondferret]

Mate... are you sure you're OK. Retrospec doesn't give us stuff for no reason....

[drydrown]

To my knowledge, I'm all right. I don't feel particularly off in any way, at least.

[floret]

Oh no!
What happened?

[drydrown]

[oh. oh, jamie, no.]

I happened. It was agitating me.

[yakan]

youre probably already the worst version of you anyway!! maybe thats why!!

[drydrown]

Do sit down and come back when the adults are done talking, will you?

[livingimpaired]

I am glad you were able to relieve some of your stress. I would rather it have not been against yourself but sometimes we need to destroy what we have control over.

So. Do you feel better now?

[drydrown]

[...Oh, god, it's this one.]

I do, actually. Or at least, I believe so - there's nothing agitating me anymore, at the very least.

[beneathmoonlight]

Oh no

What if you’re cursed now???

[drydrown]

Then it's not a terribly potent curse, I'd say. Again, I don't feel any different, outside of decidedly less annoyed.

[feistytrader]

Holy shit.

[That's- who the hell would- I mean, it's good that things turned out alright--?]

Are you planning on keeping the rest of your soul bits, or are you chucking them into the nearest recycling bin?

[drydrown]

...I haven't decided yet. As long as they aren't broadcasting anything I don't see why I shouldn't just keep them, should I choose to.

[It's a little later when Jaeger's response comes in, mostly because he needs time to cool off before saying anything to Cumore.]

Well, at least it won't be troubling you anymore! Do let me know if you feel any different, will you?

[drydrown]

I don't see why not, I suppose. Planning on doing something to your own, or just morbidly curious?

[energybent]

Wow, it looks like you were really mad at it.

[drydrown]

It was irritating to me, that's all.

[insantafe]

So how'd it break, exactly?

[drydrown]

Intentionally, with a broadsword. It was already looking rather damaged so it shattered easily enough.

[compendiem]

It's been almost two weeks. Do you feel any different now?

[drydrown]

[...There's a pause before he responds.]

I do, though it's difficult to quantify exactly how.
