I guess some people aren't really meant to be rulers...

[ although that still seems odd to say about someone who was her fiancee, even in a fake world. ]

Was that all you had to do?

[diluvian]

[ embrace your eldritch side. forget the devotion of a concubine.... ]

We were presented places to investigate. The first was a kingdom fallen to darkness. It seemed connected to Fei Du and Shen Qingque... It ended in dying, and so we got a second chance. This second life was worse.

[ a beat. ]

We were going to attend a wedding in this life, but the country ended up under attack. Someone wanted to wage war.

[pipa]

[ looks at eldritch side. lmao. ]

I see... did you know the people who wanted the war? Or did Libby?

[diluvian]

It was Luo Wenzhou, or it was his role in the story to come attack this country. Libby knew... the sorcerer who was going to defend against him.

The sorcerer was the one who caused the most problems.

[ this is her very biased opinion. ]

[pipa]

I see...

[ sort of.

it really reads as some weird fairy tale. ]

How did you win?

[diluvian]

We died.

[ that's not winning. ]

No, we.... the bird interfered.

[ she puts a hand to her temple, as if she's getting a headache. ]

We met Baba Yaga.

[pipa]

[ hmm... ]

Did she do anything?

[diluvian]

It's more she made us do something than did anything to us. A trade, for a different ending to our stories.

[pipa]

[ ... this probably wasn't good. ]

And you did the trade?

[diluvian]

It wouldn't have ended if I didn't.

[pipa]

Mm...

Do you want to do anything?

[diluvian]

[ ... ]

Let me hear you play your pipa.

[pipa]

... of course.

[ very happily, and easily enough, she'll reach for her pipa. ]

Let's sit.

[diluvian]

[ where even are they wherever they are, lambda leads guifei to the nearest comfortable seating and takes a seat for herself.

she silently waits for yang guifei to start playing whenever she's ready. ]
