Yaaassss sLay all day!
JOB POSTING ONE! BIG PAYOUT FOR EASY WORK!
I am a pharmacist looking for some brave adventurers willing to go down into the dungeon and collect dongle flower milk for me. I need at least 10 bottles! This is an important ingredient in one of my popular prescriptions. I am not athletic enough to go get it myself and my supplies are running low.
Please deliver all dongle flower milk to the medical shop in the northwest corner of the market. Please note, I need FULL bottles. Do not skimp or I won't pay!
JOB POSTING TWO! HELP A WOMAN'S GROWING BUSINESS!
I am a young lady looking to expand my make-up business. I heard rumors that there's water in the dungeon that could make an AMAZING base for make-up products. But it sounds like it's super scary in there and I don't want to go. Please, someone, help!
You can bring all bottles of dungeon water to the make-up booth in the southeast corner of the market. I'm willing to pay in chips or trade some of my current products. My face masks and nail polishes are really good!
JOB POSTING THREE! PLEASE DON'T ASK WHY!
Hello. I need many dungeon slime cores, so I am looking for everyone and anyone willing to go slime hunting and gather some for me. We can negotiate pay based upon the number of slime cores brought. Do not inquire what the slimes or their cores are needed for.
Please bring all slime and slime core deliveries to back door of the Dried and Baked Sundries shop. Thank you!
JOB POSTING FOUR! I WANT COLLECTABLES!
If you're going into the dungeon, I want collectables. If you find that fabled treasure room, bring me back something cool and shiny. I'm willing to pay good money! I don't care what it is as long as it's hard to get and I can brag to my friends about it.
You can find me drinking in the tavern. I'll be wearing expensive velvet and a tiny hat with a feather.

Over thirty three million goodbyes, so many unsaid, countless partings delivered by his own hands.
Few gut him like this anymore.
Cyrene, so small yet so brave. Mydei, noble and fierce, unwavering time after time.
Stelle… her eyes brimming, their amber color an unerring reminder of what he’s doing it all for.
Pain cracks his mask; Phainon squeezes shut his eyes with gritted teeth, lungs emptying out in a shudder of breath.
An arm pulls her to him, wrapping around her shoulders, his palm pressing the shape of the ring into her hand where he grasps it. ]
I will, [ he says shakily, the words that follow steadier after he sucks in a breath. ] But I must ensure that the others follow you there, first.
no subject
His mask cracks, her tears spill over, and she presses her face to his chest as he pulls her close, his other hand still wrapped up in hers, between them, against her breast. She feels his shudder through her entire body, swallows once more as if it'll help her breathe properly.
She's not sure how they got here again. She's beginning to realize they've been here all along. ]
I know.
[ She does. She doesn't. She wants to. ]
But I wish you didn't have to.
[ Said so softly against his chest, knowing full well it's a selfish wish, that it is his destiny to fight alone. But she doesn't have to like it. ]
no subject
Grief splits his charred heart open; he already misses her, will miss the stolen time they’ve had. When he returns, if he returns, he faces a long and excruciating exile - holding back the Black Tide, imprisoning the burgeoning calamity with his bones, his memories as the prison bars - and their eventual reunion will herald the end of this journey.
But for a little while, they could share a laugh, a meal, the comfort of touch. A hundred fragments of light that, together, form a spark of hope he can carry with him through time, through sleep, until the dawn at last breaks.
Phainon’s fingers sift into her hair, his face turns down to press a kiss to her head, nodding. Nodding too much. ]
I can still do something for you, [ he whispers back, grateful that he can still be useful, he can still support the fight. ] For Amphoreus.
[ A warm pressure on her head, another press of his lips, and he steps back, his smile wan but determined.
Their disparity in height means he has to stoop a little to do this, his eyes a little blurry when he seeks to fit the ring on one of her fingers, as if that could secure it for the journey ahead, or assure her acceptance of his parting gift. ]
My time with you has been a gift, [ he lifts her hand to his lips, then his brow, and screws back on an encouraging smile over the shape of his heartache. ] Now, go.
The way forward is here.
[ A door home, which he’ll be mortified to realize he’d taken far too literally. ]
no subject
However, it is a thought for another time, as in this moment, Stelle isn't seeing particularly clearly, either literally or figuratively, nor thinking particularly clearly, as Phainon slides the ring on her finger, as her stalling is effectively thwarted, as time picks up and begins to drag her mercilessly with it and she scrambles to catch up, to understand what he means.
His expression breaks her heart. He's being strong for her.
Determined to hold onto his hand, as much as she'd rather cup his face with it, she's turning to get a better look at the door, to catch the word Home on the sign, and the warning below it.
She turns back to him, incredulous, perplexed, a little sobered, and not yet grasping just exactly how she's been deceived. ]
Phainon... do you really think they would just let us go home?
[ If it claimed to lead anywhere else, she'd barely hesitate, truth be told, the need to Trailblaze in her very veins. But what if it can? What if it's real? The smallest thread of hope winds through her, chokes her. ]
I can't just leave.
[ He's not the only person she cares about, here. She can't just go without saying goodbye, can't have them searching for a statue—like she thought they were.
Oh.
She reaches out her free hand, presses her palm against his chest, and squeezes his hand in her other, her expression lost, her mind racing. ]
I need a minute.
no subject
Stelle asks for a moment. Phainon nods, eyes closed, and pulls her against him like he’s done before.
Something has changed; this is less an embrace and more a grapple, as muscle bunches, and Phainon’s impressive upper body strength deadlifts Stelle, lofting her over one shoulder, an arm folding over legs he expects will start kicking. ]
I will tell them you’re gone, [ he fights to say, trying to take one dragging step after another towards the door. ] I’ll warn them not to look for you-
no subject
She doesn't realize what he's doing, at first, not that she would have pulled away, anyway. That is never her first response with him, every day a little more wrapped up in him, as if they could be any more entwined. He pulls her close and she exhales, and that's the only reason she doesn't yelp as loudly as she normally would when her feet leave the ground, when his arm traps her thighs against him, and she gasps for breath, instead. ]
Phainon!
[ It's not the first time she's said his name in surprise, but it's certainly the first in a context less than pleasurable. His words send a cold chill through her, and she does, indeed, start kicking. ]
What are you doing!?
[ She doesn't want to hurt him, doesn't think to draw a weapon, but she has a good idea where this is going, and she's so angry it blocks out the terror, the worry, long enough she beats her fists against his back, does her best to wriggle off his shoulder, grips and tugs at his tunic as if she can pull him back from his inexorable march. ]
Put me DOWN!
[ She doesn't realize she's crying until her choked inhale informs her. ]
no subject
They've been in life-and-death situations before and they've shown each other their prowess, side by side, so she's never felt it like this, with him exerting every ounce of his strength as though letting her get away from him might be the same as dooming everything and everyone he's ever loved. Enduring each batter of her fists like he doesn't even feel them, jaw set, teeth bared in a grimace.
There's a purr as her yanking on his shirt causes a seam to rip along his shoulder, leaving its collar distended. Phainon doesn't know why she doesn't try to throttle him with the cloth he leaves around his throat. He supposes... he'd have as hard a time playing for keeps against her, if it came down to it. And it will. ]
Did you think being the Deliverer means getting what you want?
[ The sound of her tears guts him, but his own shout can't make this right. ] I'm- I'm sorry.
[ His voice thickens, cracks. It isn't just that this is a struggle with every difficult step taken, every inch towards the door a battle. To delay any more only invites her to fight back and maybe, maybe she deserves that chances, and maybe that's why- not just that he's so reluctant to let anyone go. ] I'm sorry it has to be you.
But a signal isn't enough. It was... never enough.
no subject
Did you think being the Deliverer means getting what you want?
She stills like he's just stabbed her.
He may as well have, the way her body feels like it's caving in on her, the way the pain radiates from the center of her chest outward.
How dare you, she wants to say.
But he's right.
He's right.
When you have a chance to make a choice, make the one you won't regret.
But this was never really her choice. It was never really his.
He's done enough. She said she would carry the weight of the world, and she meant it. She would be the Deliverer, the Dawn Bringer, the World Bearer in his stead, while he fought a battle only he could. A battle he'd been treading towards unrelentingly all his life. All his lives.
Never enough. ]
Just get it over with, Phainon.
[ The fight has bled out of her. ]
I'll go.
no subject
And he hates that, taking the choice from her, but Amphoreus must be saved. If there's even the slightest chance it can be done, it has to be done. None of this is fair to her, who is so much more than a title can encompass. He throws her away, a piece of his heart, one of the few good pieces of him left. But that's the problem with Phainon; he's always been willing to burn himself to light the way, he's only ever known how to spend himself up in service to Deliverance.
Maybe it's worse that he can't bring himself to look at her, when the portal between the doorframe and the wall swallows her up. ]
no subject
Really, she should've known better. There was no one more committed to their own narrative than Phainon.
For the briefest moment she's airborne, thrown, she realizes, tossed like as much beloved trash as she's ever been, and the last thing she sees is his profile, the image of a tragic hero.
Well, not the last thing. There's a weird, slimy feel to the entire experience that isn't wholly emotional, hands guiding her through some kind of liminal space, tugging, pulling, pushing, until she lands on her ass unceremoniously in an empty suite.
It's familiar, but not, the layout, some of the furniture, but the scent is all wrong. Too clean. ]
Dan Heng?
[ A tentative callout from the floor, because...well, it looks like his room, at a glance, until it dawns on her, no. It isn't.
Does that mean it's....
She glances at the watch still on her wrist and closes her eyes.
For a brief, petty, angry and pained moment, she considers saying nothing at all. Letting him fester in it, letting him miss her so she can drop kick his beautiful, stupid face and walk away on her own another day.
It flashes warm for a moment before it chills her to the bone. No. He did what he thought was right. And who was she to think she meant more in any moment than Amphoreus did. ]
I'm still here. Suite upgrade.
Don't look for me.
no subject
His chest and shoulders rise and fall to his labored breath, staring at the wall beside the door. A numb shock has settled over him like a wet mantle, heavy, chilling; he's been here before, with Cyrene lying on the cold stone beside him, Mydeimos lying still where he was slain, countless other such monstrous scenes, performed for the sake of a dawn for Amphoreus.
She's gone, and all that's left of her are these memories - those amber eyes, the radiance of her smile, the warmth of her embrace - and now, he's added the sound of her outrage, her tears of betrayal, and the bruises blooming on his back.
He hasn't killed her. Surely this means she's made it back. Maybe she will never forgive him, but it won't matter if he can- when he can restore Welt, and send him and Dan Heng after her.
It's this spiral - bargaining with himself that surely it was worth it - that's interrupted by the sound of his watch chiming. He numbly glances down... and smothers the sound that threatens to chase his sharp inhale with a hand over his mouth. ]
