WESTERN FRAGMENT TURN IN

[lighthaus]

[ khun will absolutely go back to Serious mode in a second, but he's walking in here with the fragment + robin and tatara in tow literally just: ]

Here you are, you're welcome. Who else has come back? [ looking around, this is the company absolutely everyone wanted. ]

[lustro]

Congrats on doing your one job.

[ That's it from him. He turns and walks to the other side of the room. ]

[lighthaus]

[ laughing. ]

Thank you, thank you, your praise is truly a highlight of my life. [ they really are like oil and water.

but he won't push anymore than that because they all have things to do and tatara is right here. ]

[fellheart]

[ here robin is with tatara and khun ig, they are so spotless and clean and uninjured, they probably just sparkled like this the entire way back...

but more seriously: ]

Has anything of note changed while we were out?

[shortleash]

( Glances at Khun, then Robin. )

Not yet. We've just fortified the place.

You're all surprisingly uninjured.

[fellheart]

Turns out a gaggle of Western witches and wizards all clamoring for the same thing is surprisingly simple to handle, if you know how to speak to them.

[

why does he make it sound like soothing a spooked horse, ]

[lustro]

We're just waiting for our last two groups.

[ He's kind of worried they're taking so long... ]

You guys seem like you had a good time.

[fellheart]

Surprised but pleasantly so that it turned out to be rather easy, is probably the best way to put it?

[ so rip to whatever's going on with the last two groups ... ]

[lustro]

You went to the West, right? Surprised they didn’t throw an aphrodisiac at you.

[fellheart]

Khun led off by playing to their vanity. I think they were all too worried about their clothing and hair afterwards to think of doing that.

Frankly, I didn't expect it to work out the way it did either.

[ but who knows, maybe there's a wizard out there now who's sound asleep having scared but horny dreams about a halfshifted not quite manakete. ]

[lustro]

[ Mutters: ]

It’s what’s inside that matters.

[ No comment about Khun and vanity and hair. ]

Glad you were able to read them so quickly though…

[fellheart]

I may have helped to terrify the few holdouts, but...

[ a shrug, then dryly: ]

I imagine part of the reason for sending us is that we are both quite uncharmable.

[ pause. ]

I know we're waiting on the last two shards, but how have you been holding up here?

[shortleash]

( Well, the walls are covered in thorns and roses, so enjoy that mixed with the scent of whatever bits of blood ppl have spilt on the floor. )

We have the central, northern, and now western shards back. We're still waiting on east and south.

[lighthaus]

[ that sure is a combination but it doesn't really bother khun any. ]

Then we're making good progress. There's been no interference here?

[shortleash]

Not yet. I'd be more surprised if nothing makes its way here, though.

( Whether it be a loose missle or a targeted attack - given the soul shards seem to be in high demand - so he's not exactly relaxing. )

You were keeping watch over the sage before with your "lighthouse," right? Do you have energy to spare toward that now?

( He's not asking for a shift in duty - but if Khun's magic has its use here, then he'll certainly invite it. )

[lighthaus]

I agree.

[ boop!

his lighthouse pops into existence, perfectly sized to fit the sage inside. he'll just move it over the OG sage and turn it on camouflage mode, hiding him at least visually. ]

As long as I'm in the manor grounds this should hold. It doesn't take that much energy for a function like this and the Western fragment was easy.

Besides, I have Tatara too.

[1145pm]

[ On cue, Tatara steps out from behind Khun and makes his way towards the original sage. The green and blue threads still stretch from him, and if he could see him past the lighthouse, he'd see how he glows gold, purple, and pink. ]

We're almost there. [ Said with a smile! This is going well.

Said to Mika: ] Whatever happens, I trust you and Ginger to handle it. It might be a liability if I hung out in the same room as Akira-kun [ NAMEDROP ] but I'll be with the healers. Call me if you need me.

[ He glances at Khun and gestures with his head. Let's go! ]

[lighthaus]

His name's Akira too? [ huh.

khun nods though, taking tatara's hand to pull him into one of his other two lighthouses. easier to travel this way with the state of the general manor still ?!? and the sounds of MECHA BATTLE outside. ]

[1145pm]

Mm-hmm. [ big lol two akiras

Into the lighthouse he goes! Living in Aguero's pocket is cozy... ]

[revengier]

[ Kurapika actually wanted this company!! He’s still hanging around here, trying to decide where he’d best fit. Might as well stick around while he ponders it, right? ]

Seems like you had an easy time.

[lighthaus]

[ yay!!! ]

We did. We both know how to use our tongues so it didn't take long at all. [ a slight tilt of his head. ]

What about you?

[revengier]

[ ... ]

You couldn't have phrased that more repellently, could you?

[ ANYWAY. ]

Central wizards are kind, so Ahito and I had a lot of assistance. It made grabbing the soul fragment and taking care of a significant number of wraiths surrounding it easy work.

[lighthaus]

Don't make that sound like a challenge, Kurapika.

[ he's just having fun, him and robin are one of the most uncharmable lot. ]

So you did have to fight something. We were going to have Robin transformed if we needed, but we were able to scare them off pretty easily.

[revengier]

As if you'd take that challenge.

[ He totally would, and he kind of regrets saying that. Whatever!! ]

So, I assume you scared them off with words? We didn't have much of a choice in that regard. Wraiths don't exactly listen.

[lighthaus]

And some illusions. We could have just tried to take the fragment from the start, but pointless battles are stupid and a waste of time.

Where'd Ahito go?

[ since he's not here. ]
