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.

Going on one thousand...?

[ There's a soft snort. ]

I've heard the phrase "feeling old", but...

[ BUT... ]

[excavated]

. . . It's a joke, actually.

[beguiledcard]

[ He just smiles and shakes his head. ]

I was figuring there was a chance of that.

[ There's a soft hum. ]

You really just turned fifteen, though?

[excavated]

Yeah. [ Technically. Syaoran's age is weird CLAMP bullshit. ]

[beguiledcard]

[ More thinking... ]

You guys said April 1st, though, right?

[ Did he... hear that right...? ]

[excavated]

Yeah. Watanuki's name even means "April 1st".

[beguiledcard]

[ There's a quiet snort. ]

I can't say there's no chance I'd do the same if I had a kid born on that day.

[excavated]

Well, it's his family name. . .

[ So it's

ironic. ]

[foundfate]

That's the joke. He's only 15, but he acts way older.

[Compared to Watanuki, who is 18 but acts younger than Syaoran.]

[beguiledcard]

[ Soft, quiet laugh. ]

He does act pretty mature, yeah.

[foundfate]

There's no helping him, really. He's always been like this.

[beguiledcard]

[ A small snort. ]

Have you known him a while, then?

[foundfate]

All my life, technically. We're...connected, I guess you could say. Actually you might understand best, given your 'problem' in the Foundation.

[beguiledcard]

[ He blinks softly. ]

My 'problem'?

[ This outta be fun, since he's yet to learn about that. ]

[foundfate]

Yeah, you know, the...

...actually, how long have you been at the Foundation?

[beguiledcard]

Three weeks.

[ He's but a bitty agent. ]

[foundfate]

...

This is probably a conversation you want to have with your friends, then. Ask one of them about it, and they should know about it if they've been at the Foundation for a while.

[beguiledcard]

[ He frowns lightly, but gives a small nod. ]

Okay... I'll do that, then.
