[ fatality. so rude. why does he allow this? nodd should shove this nerd in a locker, powers or no powers. ]
You just throw them in a shower.
[ beastly. ]
I suppose worst case we all die and-slash-or are assimilated so maybe that's not such a big deal. I won't have a big choice in all that. But best case, we win--somehow. Then what? Everyone goes back to their homeworlds?
anyway. the look on his face changes a bit, pinching at the idea of being assimilated - that is temenos' worst nightmare, actually, being assimilated - but he lets nodd continue without saying anything about it. ]
[ he catches the look. assimilation does sound terrifying, doesn't it? complete loss of self. even nodd, whose self presents many issues, would prefer not to lose it altogether. ]
Not a problem, exactly.
[ ... ]
A few questions, is all. No answers, of course, but things like... do I go back to being dead once I enter the atmosphere? Do I ever see you again?
he. no? no. there's this emotion of like - it's almost annoyance, but it's not with nodd. it's this bone deep, spiteful feeling of not again. the confident stubbornness of temenos mistral. ]
- Or, we can determine your moment before arrival. If it was a death within the second you came, I can bring you back to life. [ cleric babyeeee ] Or, I can utilize the skills of clerical magic more similar to your world, which may work in any circumstance. So long as I can access the Sacred Flame, I don't see why I couldn't.
[ temenos just says this with a click of his tongue, but it sounds more like it's huffy than anything else - less cranky as he'd been a minute ago, more grounded and cynical as he ever is. gods. gods!!!! ]

his attitude switches, very quickly - it's a little more intense, suddenly, the inquisitor. ] - When? Was it immediately before you arrived here?
no subject
[ yeah this ship has only ever been a graveyard within a graveyard hooraaaaaay. ]
My tattoo changed--the moon's broken now, you've seen it--but that's the only clue I came with.

the intensity fades a little - though just enough, because he's frowning, hand to his chin. if it was immediate, he could just fix it, but... ]
... Not knowing the circumstances... [ nyeh ] I don't suppose you have to return home.

[ it's an awful thing to tease someone who might care if you were to permanently die. nodd can't help it. ]
I guess I can live on the Eudora husk. Oo, I could become a space pirate.

Not a great move to save me if you want to be rid of me, Temenos. I was giving you an out at last.
[ but if it doesn't work. ]
Anyway, I feel saved enough. I regret dying now and I didn't when this journey started.
no subject
Then don't die then.
[ the solution is there. for once in his gods-damned life, the solution is there, and he'll be absolutely damned it he lets that slip away, too. ]
no subject
I won't, then.
[ a sincerity in his tone. if that's what is necessary, sure. he'll live. ]
By order of the Inquisitor, I'll just have to live forever.
