synopsychic | [cw: blood] Who wants to live forever?

So, uh... I know we've got really important shit going on right now, but I could use some advice or help or something, because I've got something weird going on with... oh, hell with it; it's probably easier to just show you. If you're not good with blood or whatever the hell this is, you're gonna want to look away or whatever the mental equivalent of that is right now.

[And she's just going to wait for a bit to give people a chance to do just that, and not at all because she's weirded out and embarrassed by all of this herself.]

...Right. Okay. I'll just... get this over with, then. [There's a short pause as she steels herself, and then:] Anyone got any idea what the hell this shit is?

[She opens a livestream that focuses on her finger - or rather, the visibly healing gash on said finger and the trickle of mingled red and silver fluid oozing from it. Those who were there for the Achaia Jaunt or otherwise have reason to know will likely recognize the silver fluid as ichor of immortality, typically gotten through eating certain red-gold grapes during or after that Jaunt. Unfortunately, Yukino doesn't know that - and more importantly hasn't had any such grapes.]

Okay. Shit. And I am ninety percent positive that at no time did I make you any ambrosia like I did Gil.

Fuck.

Think there's some weird liminal thing that lets you copy stuff from other people?

And I'm pretty sure I'd remember if you had, so...

Copy stuff? Like skills?

Yeah. Like. It sounds completely fucking nuts, but I can see how it would work on the very real principle of 'if you know this thing can be done, liminal space can help you do it.'

I can see that working for skills, but something like this...?

[Then again... Liminal Space.]

What is a skill, really? When we talk about skills, it's as things we've learned how to do--but we're in a thoughtrealm, Yukki. We can copy items from other worlds, because we believe they exist hard enough they come back with us. We take on other forms because our selves learn we can exist in those other bodies. Who's to say that everything, even other states of being, aren't in their ways learned skills?

I guess...

[Why this, though?]

And it's really possible to skip things you should know or do first if it's something you know can be done. Allura picked up my trick of visiting old Jaunt locations when and where you want to that way.

So. I could see you accidentally picking up demigodhood without eating grapes that way.

Gotta admit that's one I'd be interested in too.

[But instead she's got this.]

Doesn't seem like a trick you could pull very often, though... unless you're one of the Arcana, I guess.

I mean, I can teach it too. Just-- the long way. Where you have to do all these other things first.

And yeah, no, I doubt there's time left for any of us to do it more than once.

...So I'm immortal but I can't go anywhere.

[That kind of figures.]

... well. I'm immortal too and I can. I'll find you, pick you up, and take you places. We're not like super close or anything, but I do like you, Yukki, and you were good to my big brother when he popped up after Felicia smashed the her magic gatcha machine. That's not nothing, you know?

Thanks.

...Sorry, this is just... a lot.

Yeah, no, it's super a lot. It was a lot for me when I realized I had the grapes at all--or that I'd kept the demigod shit.

I can imagine.

[Yukino certainly would've felt uncomfortable as hell in Thorne's place.]

Yeah. I'd figured I'd try to grow old in the human body I got here in liminal space if I had a chance. Die of old age with Alcuin. Knowing I'm stuck with immortality this way too... it's a lot. I was stupid relieved when he also came home with the ichor blood.

I've got no idea how I'd even begin to explain this to the gang back home. Or anything about the last seven or eight years, really.

Yeah. Me neither. God, I don't even know how many of them would be still around after all this time. We were right on the edge of the vampire apocalypse.

And if Nyarlathotep's still on his rumor bullshit, it may not be all that safe for me to go home, especially if someone sees me bleed.

Oh Jesus. Yeah, no. Stay here where it's safe, Yukki. As weird and contradictory as that sounds.
