retellers | AUDIENCE: LUP

[ after lup makes her wish, goat appears in the planetarium—looking bloody but hey who doesn't at this point. ]

[ oh mood, lup too, except she's wearing a red dress so it doesn't show as much. ]

Hey! Question. [ she pulls her hair up into a ponytail, and then goes to place the hat on goat's head. if they'll let her. ] Do you eat food? Can you eat food?

[ they nod slowly, hat on their head, seeming a little startled by the sudden questions. ]

Neato. What's your favorite food?

[ she's going to nudge them gently out the door. ]

[ they are nudged! though at this proximity, lup will probably notice by how their clothes flop on them that, uh, it looks like their left arm is missing, as is maybe their left shoulder in general. ]

Bread is the most treasured food of humanity, but I am also fond of Oreo O's...

[ ... hm, goat please ]

Oh, rad? Rad, Oreos are dope as hell. I'm gonna make you like, Oreo balls. Have you ever had those before?

[ ... ] Gee, you got the short end of the stick with injury week, huh.

Someone once made me rice treats with Oreos?

[ it's a good thing goat doesn't need to eat because they've been fed nothing but junk food for a month now. ]

It is fine... although, um, I'm sorry if I might bleed a bit. Xie Lian taught me how to do bandages, but I'm not very good at it.

[ who needs healthy food ]

It's the same idea, but with cream cheese. You'll like it, I think. [ she'll lead them off! ] Maybe I'll bake some fresh bread for you too.

[ as for the rest of that: ] You - don't have to apologize for bleeding, my dude. I've got it happening too. [ vague gesture at her back. ] Do you need someone help you with the bandages, or are you good?

T-Thank you...

[ they have no idea why lup is making them food but they'll roll with it. ]

I would rather not inflict this on you.

[ she looks amused. ]

It's not inflicting if I offered. [ shrug. ] Can't have you dripping in my kitchen.

[ it's not your kitchen it's everybody's kitchen ]

It's difficult to help without physical contact, though...

Well, then we have to bandage you up, obviously!

I'm, uh - I'm also not going to make you do that much, because I feel like it's mean even for me to make someone with one hand do cooking.

No, I mean, um... I don't mind helping, but if you try to do my bandages, you might end up experiencing what happened...

[ goat doesn't want lup to deal with the pain ): ]

Oh. [ aw goat!! ] It's okay, I don't mind. I nearly died last weekend because some stupid girl Caeser'd me. I also got a memory of Xie Lian being stabbed about a thousand times, so like, whatever you have to give me is not going to break me.

... What did happen? If I can be nosy.

Caeser'd you...?

[ tho. ]

I'm not sure. I don't remember where I would've received this wound.

Yeah. Stabbed me like, a bunch.

[ ah, she forgot the leaders can't remember shit. ] Hm. Not one of the things you've remembered then, huh.

Oh. That's unfortunate.

[ they shake their head. ]

I remember being stabbed a few times... but not this.

Were you a soldier or something?

[ she's mostly just curious. also, they're approaching the kitchen. ]

A soldier...? No, apparently, I'm a god.

[ ... ]

Huh. No wonder Xie Lian likes you so much. [ she busies herself grabbing ingredients. ] God of what? Goats?

I like him a lot too.

[ they tilt their head. ]

I don't remember. I'm more of a fallen god now, at any rate...

Good. He deserves to have people who like him.

[ hmmm. ]Anyway, that's fine. Normal gods are up their own asses half the time. And you seem pretty okay, so.

Oh. Um... thank you?

Do you have a lot of experience with gods...? I don't actually have any memory of them, at the moment... besides Xie Lian, I suppose.

[ she waves a hand. ]

Sorta. I think I've met one or two secondhand. One is fine, the other is way too, uh - religious? I guess? I don't know, Pan's whatever.

I see... Do people also, er, "ascend" where you're from? Like they do in Xie Lian's world?
