[CEASE THIS SLANDER IMMEDIATELY, I LOVE HIM

soo-won at least doesn't seem like he's in a rush, just walking through the savanna as he swings their joined hands between them not gay at all]

[retellers]

[ dana taking what she can get because they're both very ace and dumb ] It's been consistent with its pace so far... Any nova that is gathered is safe from it, at least.

[recrowns]

[yea it doesn't change the fact that it's cute]

Ah, really?

So it's eating from the existing nova that was here before us, and any new nova we create is in a separate pot, so to speak?

[retellers]

You're not creating new nova, exactly... It's more that you're gathering what was previously lost.

[recrowns]

[ . . . he tilts his head]

So it's... in a circle?

Or - is there nova that's lost and nova that's eaten and those are two separate things?

[retellers]

No. The nova that has been lost is the nova that's been eaten.

[recrowns]

Ah, I see. So the nova that we gather again is what we're stealing from the monster that's eating it?

[SO IT'S A CIRCLE?]

And the monster is eating the nova that existed in the Realm before us?

But once we re-gathering the nova, the monster cannot eat it again.

[retellers]

[ it's the circle of life, soo-won. he nods. ] Correct.

[recrowns]

[the circle of nova......]

If we gather more nova, would that be enough to steal from the monster to weaken it?

[retellers]

Maybe?

[recrowns]

[he

laughs]

Sure, I'll take a 'maybe'. It's better than a definite 'no'.

[retellers]

I did say we didn't know much about it yet...

[recrowns]

You did - and I know that all of you are working hard.

[though - ]

Actually, it was remiss of me not to ask last week - but did you remember your name, by any chance?

[retellers]

No... should I have?

[recrowns]

No... I just thought that perhaps if it appeared in your memory, maybe you could've.

[he hums]

Let me know if you ever do? Do you know if Leaders will get their memories back if we cross certain thresholds of nova as well? Or is it only when people on their teams kill?

[retellers]

If it was said in my memories... I don't remember it clearly. [ anyhow ] We do.

[recrowns]

Did you remember something this past weekend then?

[retellers]

Yes.

[recrowns]

[ . . . . he

at least looks amused]

You.... really waited until I asked....

[retellers]

[ he tilts his head. ] It was only of my life before the Realm, so it didn't seem relevant.

[recrowns]

It is relevant to me.

Because I'd still like to know more about you. [swinging their hands gently!] Though I can remind you a few more times still that we're friends, I don't mind.

[retellers]

[ ... he looks up to the sky. ] It was of that child, again. From the time I entered the world of humans to save him, to when I exiled the two of us to that island.

[recrowns]

To save him...?

[he tilts his head at that]

... tell me the story, if you don't mind?

[retellers]

... I still don't remember anything from before then, so some of the details are unclear to me. Where I existed before then, or what I was doing... I do not know. However, you were right. I am most likely a god, though not one any humans knew of or worshiped.

[recrowns]

[ . . . . huh.]

.... so you are.

[he seems to be processing that for a moment before nodding, and giving goat's hand a gentle squeeze]

But then you entered the human realm?

[also uncomfortably familiar but it's fine.]
