[ He was absently commenting on something else, which is my fault because I got my streams crossed a little bit, but it's fine it works. ]

I should've intervened sooner. I knew nothing good would come out of dating a mobster. But she... she seemed happy. When he was nice. That's all I ever wanted for her.

[sacredpath]

Do you think she would have listened, if you'd told her not to?

[boxcar]

...If I really insisted? Then probably.

But I would have been stopping her from going after someone she thought was nice, someone she really liked.

...I wouldn't want to do that.

[sacredpath]

I do think a firm brotherly hand about dating violent men is not an unkindness.

[but a small smile.]

Though that's why I wonder, if she would have listened - I don't know many women who do run their romantic choices by their protective brothers. [it's sort of the cliche.]

Can you get her away from him now?

[boxcar]

He didn't seem that way at first...

[ Though granted. Marcoh just inherently disagreed because it was mobster/gang territory and he'd already had enough of those fools.

He hesitates kind of long here when she asks, and -- ]

I killed him too. It is why I had to escape Vatican City.

[sacredpath]

Well. Maybe this isn't very heaven and redemption of me, but good, Marcoh.

[she's relieved, actually. it's not nice that he had to, but this man is not a problem for him anymore, and that's good.]

Someone like that... he'd only keep trying to control you.

[boxcar]

I know.

...I don't feel bad about killing Riccardo. I don't think I could.

[ No, one reminder of his fakely bright smile as he brought up his sister's name is enough for him to throw out any willingness for regret. Perhaps not very redemption-minded of him either, but that's what bothers him more than the killing of this man in particular itself. ]

But that is also problems. He was the heir to the Accardo branch. If I was the only one in danger, I would not mind, but they are not above using family -- blood family. [ Awfully ironic to be called the Family, and a tad annoying to talk about. ] I have to make sure Venere will be safe. Then... anything else, doesn't really matter.

[sacredpath]

Could you just take her and get out of there? Travel to some out of the way place where they can't find you?

[he said he left the city, so maybe that's possible.]

[boxcar]

... She was in Valland. She asked to meet in the Kingdom of Rondon. Uh, that's in Western Europa, Vatican City is more, central but south. The Church has less hold there, so she thought it was a good place to lay low, for both of us for a bit.

I had to take the first train out, and I was on my way to meeting her there. Then...

[ Well. He's here. ]

[sacredpath]

I see.

[well, that's good, though.]

If you get out of here, you can go to her. You can find her.

[boxcar]

I will.

[ Well he has to get out of that helltown Prehevil first but the good news is, Marcoh is not doompilled about it. Unfortunately, he should be more doompilled about it. ]

[sacredpath]

[nooooooo ill go back with him and just do radiant damage on all of them >:( ]

What happened to you, to come here? Did they catch up with you?

[boxcar]

The train I took, it took me east to a city called Prehevil. The train broke down there.

Strange things were happening in the city, but I got caught up in a fight with a Bremen soldier. I knew he would be trouble...

[ Truly he thinks he should have taken care of him when he had the chance, Pav is a menace. He's getting a faceful of fist, but better this time, if he goes back. ]

[sacredpath]

[did he just die before all the truly fucked up things started happening... oh no...]

So, a fixable problem, it seems.

[boxcar]

[ He saw some fucked up things, but it's like. When you think the threat is still external instead of something way worse, kind of deal, yeah. ]

I think so. I will not make the same mistake twice.

[sacredpath]

I would not underestimate old fashioned walking.

[you moderns and trains...]

[boxcar]

I will if I have to.

[ He will. Walk from Prague to London/Paris. Unfortunately I do think this is not above him. ]

The city had a strange fog that looped us back. Not unlike that first place we arrived to here. But it can't be endless.

[sacredpath]

Well. It could be. It sounds magical in nature. Perhaps you'd have to dispel it to continue on.

[that does sound dangerous.]

[boxcar]

I'm told it is. Where fog is strong, it is also where the border between realms is thin.

Explains why Vatican is foggy a lot too I guess.

[ Hey he is checking in if he can!!! Shadowheart!!! ]

[sacredpath]

[hopital

she's laid up in here. she's been bandaged. there's an ugly bruise blooming on her face as well as some scrapes and she is not very mobile, but here she is. the emotional state is pretty bad, though. just confusion and distress and a sense of a self-protective guardedness that is firmly back in place, where it had been lifted away easily earlier this week.]

Hello, Marcoh. Come to check on me? How sweet.

[boxcar]

[ Something something, math joke... ]

I wanted to see that you were looked after.

[ He keeps a polite distance, feeling this. He gives off a pretty gentle sort of worry. ]

[sacredpath]

I'm lucky enough to have Jiaoqiu see to me.

[his worry is appreciated, at least.]

It will take a little longer to heal, but I'll have to make do. At least the dance was before I was laid up.

[boxcar]

Is this a joke? I am glad if you are feeling alright enough to make a quip.

[ He does mean that. Her fun dances!!! One of which got interrupted by llama. Speaking of which where did she punch him I just think it'd be funny to have to explain a llama bruise later. ]

What about mentally? Disorienting has been a common theme.

[sacredpath]

[probably in the nose... but it can be the jaw, too. anywhere you think a bruise would look sexiest on him, that's exactly where.

and she doesn't really need to be feeling alright to make a quip.]

A poor one. [hmm.] I'm not confused about where I am, haven't forgotten this place or all of you. But disoriented is correct.
