WEEK 2 MINGLE - ARTEMISIA

[foundationmods]

Things had changed so rapidly in the past few days.

The loss of two of them hung over like a shroud, made even worse by the fact that an innocent person had been executed.

Was this....how the rest of the game was going to go...?🗈

....Even if it was, there wasn't much they could do now. Yuuko herself hasn't shown up in public since the trial, and while some have talked to her, she's been...subdued.

Did the trial hurt her just as much as them?

Regardless, the island is still beautiful, if deadly. Summer continues, beaming down on all of them, the waves of the sea warm and inviting.

But even if things look bleak...

They have something in their hands that will soon lead to the Truth, and the heart of this matter.

And in the air...lies a heavy sense that everything is about to change.

That's kinda cute, honestly.

[foundfate]

What, that we have the same birthday? It's just how things ended up, that's all.

[goldenmaniac]

Yeah. It's really fitting.

[And after talking to Syaoran a bit, Watanuki also gets a matching sand dollar gift]

[foundfate]

[Oh nice!]

I didn't know these were on the island. That's pretty neat.

[goldenmaniac]

I found a lot of nice sea-stuff on the beach. Sorry it's not more impressive.

[foundfate]

I think it's pretty impressive, and very thoughtful. I haven't gotten a birthday gift in ages.

[goldenmaniac]

Seriously? Well, I'll make sure to get you something way nicer next year, okay?

[foundfate]

I really hope we're not stuck here in a year. ...though I guess we might see each other at the Foundation, if we both live that long.

[goldenmaniac]

What, did you think I was going to stop talking to you once we left? That just means you have to stay alive another year, okay?

[foundfate]

Well...people tend to, once they don't need me anymore. Syaoran's the exception there.

[As are a handful of other people he knows, but Takumi wouldn't know any of them.]

[goldenmaniac]

[Takumi is managing to keep up his smile, but in his eyes he looks like Watanuki has just instantly been Adopted and cannot escape]

Well don't worry, I never do what people expect me to do.

[foundfate]

[Oh no not this]

I suppose being unpredictable has its advantages.

[He says with a little smile.]

I suppose if you're ever out by Montana, then you can stop by and say hi.

[goldenmaniac]

Oh, yeah! I can come and learn how to be a cowboy!

[That's what they do in Montana, right?]

[foundfate]

I'm not sure that there's many agent-cowboys, but you might be able to ride a horse.

[goldenmaniac]

Well, it's settled, for your next birthday we're gonna go ride horses.

[foundfate]

I guess that's alright?

[He can certainly think of worse ways to spend a birthday.]

[goldenmaniac]

[Poor Watanuki is just gonna get dragged along by Takumi's drive]
