[ Geist looks up from his phone at the series of knocks going off..Dia was a fast shopper it seemed..Or time was warped both could apply here honestly. ]

* Coming, give me a moment Dia.

[ Floating over he let the door open so Dia could come in, he honestly hoped Dia didn’t go overboard with the gift idea. ]

Grumpy Old Men

[ Closed starter with @scattered-scientist ]

[ It had been some time since he had left his home to wander or visit other colleagues...and friends even. With all the current guests staying at his own house he had begun to feel crowded at times.

He hadn’t heard from his little brother in some time..Pathos had been distant with his own projects..But surely they wouldn’t mind him coming over for a spell to simply talk. 

He arrived all to soon at the familiar doorway and knocked gently.]

* Pathos are you in right now?

[flapsinhands]

Flaps, do you know about what Dia and Pathos did? Let's just say Pathos won't be allowed anywhere near your place for a good long while...Dia, on the other hand, is still being considered...

* [Your message has been intercepted.]

* { i’m holding off on letting him know. pathos is dead for the moment anyways. i don’t want to give him that kind of crisis right now. }

[flapsinhands]

Will you just chill out? Dia's sick of being demonized just like you are, and he's been through untold amounts of stress ever since Pathos died...he almost completely snapped too...I get he killed your friend, but wouldn't you want to kill the God of your world too? Don't you hate them too? I'm sick of all the drama that's happened lately, and so is everyone else, so can you two just settle your differences already and stop vagueing one another? And besides, I'm sure the rat will be okay soon...

* { we did stop. }

* { i understand where you’re coming from - and believe me, i’m damn tired of drama too. }

* { it’s just - scary. i want to trust him and i know flaps is going to want to try and get to know him, and i don’t want to stand in the way of that, but i just. }

* { we’ve been stabbed in the back by so many people nowadays???? it’s like, it just keeps happening. and i’m terrified that it’ll happen again, and maybe even worse, and i won’t be able to do jack shit about it because the asshole directing this all wants it to happen. }

* { like, i understand that he was under a lot of stress, i get it. but i’m fucking terrified of anything else happening and i took that out on him, and i guess it wasn’t right of me. i’ll. apologize later, i guess. i was tired and stressed and keyed up last night and i still am but it’s not much of an excuse. }

[flapsinhands]

* { i do. }

* { but i’m not going after you. you prove that you won’t be a threat to this home, i’ll permit you near here. but until then you and your counterpart don’t come near here without risking death on sight. }

[archaicgeists]

Geist where'd ya go? What will you do with the soul? You gonna make it so Dia won't feel anything bad, or he'll have more balance over his emotions?

[ Surprisingly enough he has reappeared right outside Pathos’s voidspace..It’s not entirely wise to venture too far from the body when the soul’s involved..He hears the faint scratching at the door before everything falls silent..

For all he knows the separation might kill them, the soul looks..fine for the time being. But he won’t dawdle.]

* Time to get started then Dia..Forgive me if I’m a bit hesitant..You’ll be the first I’ve done this to.

[ The powder is brought forth, and a small measure blown around the soul with soft words..

As the powder spreads out, a plethora of threads appear to shine into existence..Glowing softly and finer than spider silk he simply watches them arc back towards the door….towards Dia.

There’s a soft tingling sensation as he curls a finger around a few dozen…How many to cut, he wonders. Not all of them certainly..He’s not sure Dia can handle absolute numbness..But maybe enough to make a difference. ]

* We’ll start with a few….they’ll regrow after time I know but hopefully Pathos will be back by then to share your burden…Or else I’ll make a way myself to drag him back…

[ With a roll of his knuckle the strings are severed, it’s like watching the strings on a violin breaking free..The process is repeated two more times for good measure..There are still plenty of strings attaching the soul to the body..but enough have been cut to be noticeable surely.

Time to see if his work has had a effect..Cupping the soul close he ventures back into Pathos’s home through a portal. He spots the others crumpled form against the door and comes near. ]

* …Dia. Dia wake up..
