 It seems I chose a good time to be personally... absent. My apologies, but being afflicted with the sleep coma, then moving from the Bubble to the Island has been somewhat taxing on this old man. You'll forgive me if I need to rest these old bones.

I do hope not too much has changed since I've been gone~ No more apocalypses, I take it.

... It has again, this last week.

[ There's a moment where he wants to go tell Zelda, because she would have an opinion about it or some idea of why-

Jade can probably spot it by the abrupt gloom to his expression, before he looks away. ]

Same with body swapping. That happened before as well.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade does spot it and frowns some to himself, but he leaves it alone for now.]

Odd that Vatheon would be recycling curses..

[radiantwingedone]

Or ... perhaps within such quick time? I don't recall if many other curses had commentary of 'again'.

[ He rarely paid attention, though. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Indeed. I wonder if that's in correlation to the Coral's power or what it intends to do.

[radiantwingedone]

Possibly. I wasn't... particularly .... attentive, to the changes.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

It's difficult to keep one's mind on so many things sometimes.

[radiantwingedone]

..... Or focused on things you would prefer, sometimes.

[ And oops, he's closing up again. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Unfortunately so.

You seem to be bothered by a thing you don't prefer.

[radiantwingedone]

.... Accurate.

[ Its a thing called 'feelings'. How do you murder them. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade's been trying to for ages.]

Vatheon, for one, seems to delight in that.

[radiantwingedone]

[ As a sign of how bothered Duke is by something, have a tiny bit of laughter here, Jade. Its bitter, cracked, and not terribly amused. ]

Accurate.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[He'll leave you to your misery if you'd like, Duke.]

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke doesn't know any other way to deal with misery, Jade.

But he's taking up that not quite offer - or maybe just hanging up. ]
