Oh-- yeah, about that.

What happened exactly? I don't think you've told me about this power before.

[terraria]

Didn't I...?

I asked Blossom if she knew how to give me that power again, as I feared we might need it to check on Charon's well-being. She suggested it may have still been locked away... thus why she suggested that I hold onto one of those crystal lilies from the fountain, and to hold it tight when I needed to use that power. She was right.

It's similar to your power and Lethe's. I usually use it for "therapy" for my people, allowing others into my mind so they could have a respite from theirs.

[featherduster]

I see . . .

( looks at him quizzically, but allows him to take his hand. the pasture's healing means it's scarred over - the first and possibly only real scar he has on his body aside his back. )

Minuet? What is it?

[featherduster]

Nothing.

[ Pressing a kiss to the scar before letting his hand go ]

Thank you for your help. I'm glad you got a little piece of yourself back.

( ....... hmph!! his hurt won't be alleviated that quickly! )

[terraria]

( it'll take more than a kiss on an ugly scar to make him feel better! )

[terraria]

( it'll... )

[terraria]

( he turns his head away, but the pink spreads across his face... and his furrowed brow and distinct pout don't seem that genuine anymore. )

[terraria]

Well...! Hmph. ... you're welcome. ... I'm glad it's back.

( he grips onto minuet's hand, not letting it go. )

[terraria]

( minuet, however, may feel an overwhelming fondness wrapping around him, like the warmth of a rising sun's rays on skin after a cold night. despite all of perci's bluster and pouting and hmphing... that warmth remains.

he is mad. he adores minuet. both coexist. )

[featherduster]

[ oH MY GOD. PERCI.



Just. Flusters uselessly. Help. ]

[terraria]

( looks at him.

gods he's so cute when he's red, i just want to squeeze his face and yank his h

LETS GO before his cuteness aggression is completely broadcasted to minuet. clears throat. )

Hmph! ( STOMPS AWAY!!! )

[featherduster]

[ CATCHING HIS WRIST BEFORE HE CAN GET TOO FAR ]

Wait.

[terraria]

( 300lbs vs 95lbs, who wins?

perci stumbles, arrested in his movement. )

Y-yes?

[featherduster]

In that demon's ritual -- while the rest of you were frozen -- she made us guess who Charon loves most.

It's you.

I know you'd do it no matter what, but . . . please take care of him.

1/? thanks

( ???????????????? )

[terraria]

( ......... wait a second. )

[terraria]

( stares at minuet's hand on wrist.

bitch, he's going to mind-dive you. good luck. )

[featherduster]

[ Wh--

BRO??????????



He finds himself in a meadow with a large tree at its center, and a domed artificial ceiling overhead. There's something off-kilter about it all, though, like he's viewing it at an angle and can never quite orient himself. Unsettled.

Minuet is there, fully blonde, and indignant. Sir he didn't order anything. ]

PERCI?!?!?!
