One can track down the spells of others, for one. If this was the deed of someone else meaning to rend us vulnerable the night before, I could be able to tell at least what kind of spell it was, and who it may have come from.
I've never been possessed, so I don't have anything to compare it to. The closest thing... the last time I blacked out, it was from alcohol. I didn't have any memory of what happened.
Omi. [And they place a hand on their shoulder.] If it is any consolation...others experienced the same as we did. The way we fell asleep, all of a sudden.
...A Servant's life is like an ephemeral flower. A Master may choose to admire it, or pluck it at its route before moving on.
[And then a pause - they break out in a small peal of laughter.]
But besides that...besides that! [And their expression sobers.] I wish to live, mmm. After everything this humble priest has been through...its hardly as if I want to throw a chance such as this away?

[Yeah, then it all went black after that.]
It was like a spell came over us. Mm. Oh, if only I had my abilities!
no subject
[He's pretty sure it's just sleep, but there's a possibility something else happened.]
What would you do if you had them?
no subject
[But powers are nerfed, so here they are.]
Could it have been poison? Not lethal, but...
no subject
[They'll just have to get by on normal skills at best.]
I don't know much about poison. Are there many that only induce sleep? Anything airborne?
no subject
[Hmm.]
There are such things which can induce sleep, but...ah, I'm no assassin. I cannot say.
no subject
[He settles in next to Douman, towel over his shoulders.]
Think we'd remember if we killed somebody?
no subject
[That's...an interesting question.]
You think there is a possibility of such a thing? Doing things in the time we were unconscious?

no subject
Is it weird to say that does make me feel better?
no subject
[They smile at that, lightly.]
I do wonder why the Avatars were barely concerned, mmm. Perhaps they viewed that murder as an indulgence as well?
no subject
I wouldn't be surprised. They did have the part about dying on the welcome document.
no subject
They did...and those bodies as well. Remember that room? If they were anticipating this...then surely this will not be the last.
no subject
[His breath is seems more controlled than usual.]
Think they'll use them for something?
no subject
[There are no answers, here.]
[They lean in, after a pause, to kiss Omi's ear.]
...Are you scared, Omi?
no subject
Maybe? If I am, it's not as much as I probably should be.

[Well, then.]
And yet...you say that this is not something that overly concerns you. Why?
no subject
no subject
...Do you care for your own life, Omi?
no subject
I do. What about you?
no subject
[And then a pause - they break out in a small peal of laughter.]
But besides that...besides that! [And their expression sobers.] I wish to live, mmm. After everything this humble priest has been through...its hardly as if I want to throw a chance such as this away?
