I'm going.

Don't tell anyone, okay? I want to, or leave notes for the ones that would try to stop me.

I love you a lot, Junpei. I really do.

[moondregs]

You’re going? Iggy, you have no idea where you’ll end up. What if it’s nowhere?

[dead_tongue]

I know.

I've lost a lot of people, Junpei. People I loved with my whole heart. And the longer I stay here, the greater the chance I'll lose Finch. Either to the Void, or something here will break him irreversibly. And I can't take that. It would kill whatever hope I have inside me. So we're gonna risk it and go.

It hurts my heart to do it because I do love you all. I do. But if I stay... I don't think I'm strong enough to be me anymore if anything else happens.

[moondregs]

You think I haven't lost anyone? You think I don't miss them everyday?

Ianthe is already teetering, Iggy. This will push her over. I can't 'keep an eye on her' when she goes all out. I'm nowhere near powerful enough.

[ It's selfish. He knows. But he's desperate. In pain. ]

[dead_tongue]

I know that you do, and that you have. that's why I know you understand.

neither you nor I could ever stop her from doing anything, Junpei. all we could ever do, can do, is love her. can you love her and be there if she needs you?

[moondregs]

I’m not as good at loving as you are. You know that.

[dead_tongue]

yes you are.

I'll miss you.

[moondregs]

I'll never forget you, Iggy.

Voice (after lung presentation/boons)

[princess_of_ida]

Why didn't you give Zlatka the piece of lung you found?

[Because he obviously found one. He went on the expedition, was more competent than he looked, and Moondregs would allow him to bypass some of the Void monstrosities guarding the coral. And yet, he hadn't given a piece to the Duchess.]

[moondregs]

The why isn’t really important, is it?

[princess_of_ida]

Yes, it is. Because I need to know what's going on with you. It's just us now.

[moondregs]

Us and her, you mean.

[princess_of_ida]

She's everywhere, woven into the fabric of this place keeping the Void back. And she is the way we will find those the Void taken from us.

So yes, but I'm not talking about her. I'm talking about you. Tell me why, while I can still fix things.

[moondregs]

There’s no proof she can do that. She can’t even get herself away from here.

Because I remembered who I truly value. Who truly values me. I needed to make up for how stupid I was last year.

[princess_of_ida]

We have proof she can part the Void and push it back. I've seen that with my own eyes! We simply need to strengthen her and we will find them as she moves further out. It is through her we will find my sister, all the ones I love, and the ones you do. House. Murphy.

And what does that mean, Junpei? Who do you truly value and values you? How are you making up for last year?

[moondregs]

Sensei wanted to leave. Murphy might have too. I don’t know. Neither would want her “help”.

I don’t know if I feel like telling you.

[princess_of_ida]

House went looking for John. John didn't choose to leave. If John hadn't disappeared, House wouldn't have tried to find him. Regardless my twin sister and my wife are out there. Help me find them.

And why don't you want to tell me? We're family, Junpei. It's just you and me.

[moondregs]

I care about you. I always will.

But when it comes to you and her … I can’t trust you.

[princess_of_ida]

And what does that have to do with telling my what you've decided you value?

Regardless, I'm trying to protect you. Give me the piece and I'll tell her that you were grieving your loss and missed the ceremony. I'll make the transgression go away.

[moondregs]

I don’t have it.

[princess_of_ida]

[A pause.] Where did you put it?

[moondregs]

I’ll face the consequences of my ‘transgression’. Thanks.

[princess_of_ida]

Junpei. Where is it?

[moondregs]

Goodbye, Ianthe.

cw: slut shaming

[princess_of_ida]

You fucking liar. You don't care about me. Foolish of me to think otherwise. You're just like John. You only value the people that fuck you. I see how it is.

I hope all that dick was worth the cost. You're never going to get to see your mother again. Probably for the best; it's not like you're not her baby boy anymore. Get dicked good enough, and you give up everything.

Tch. Pathetic.
