Adarsa listened as Tuesday answered him, was busy staring at Bunya when she asked about Kazuki, and only focused again when she started praising Dahlia.
"Isn't she lovely? Just absolutely perfect," He gushed, pulling the dunsparce into his arms to squeze her a bit, Dahlia seeming neither adoring not maligned by the action.
He took the pickaxe- which was heavy- and paused, frowning. He hadn't noticed before. But there was terrible music. Why... was that here? Had someone messed up a mp3, somewhere?
Trying to shake off the noise- and inevitably falling into a rhythmn from it- he shifted his grip on the pickaxe, hauled it up, sort of just let the tip fall to the ground via gravity. There was a bit of ash, and the little square foot in front of him was cleared. This "mining" stuff was easy!

Adarsa wasn’t really paying attention to the quest info, or what was going on. It was midnight, he’d had a day, and he wanted to do something here and get some cute stuff for his little pets.
So, this was a something-something with that doctor who’s name he didn’t remember, and she was shrilling about her cat puns, and then suddenly everything exploded in a flare of light, from what was clearly a magic circle, and Adarsa realized that maybe, possibly, he should have paid a bit more attention.
He blinked when the light cleared, finding himself in a… big pit. Dahlia was at his side, calm and oblivious, a pickaxe laid against her side. Adarsa looked at her, and then at more of the crowd.
He saw Alistair first- it was hard not to, with his hair so bright bright. He remembered Ali- a charming smooth talker who had bought Ada dinner, and then ghosted without warning. Ada bristled, huffing and looking away.
Next was Kazuki. That stupid text and that stupid zombie chase thing came rushing back, anger sparking through him. Why was he here? Didn’t he have other people to bother? In Brazil?
But- but next to him was Tuesday. Ada just looked at Mars, for a moment, standing there defiantly in gleaming armor, impervious to the dark aura of the world around them. He was talking to Himura, but... Adarsa strode over anyway, hooking easily into Mars’ side. “What- that woman. What is she… trying to do?” He asked, in a bit of a hiss, as if trying to ensure That Woman didn’t hear him.
Dahlia, excruciatingly slowly, started wiggling over to join him again.

Adarsa looked over at Mars, and smiled. “Shrines,” He repeated, an almost soft look on his face. He was… having fun, here, in these woods. It was easy, somehow, to forget the horrible creature that had attacked them. Here, it was just the big tree, the glowing bird, himself, and Mars.
“Thank you, Mars.” He repeated- and in another world he would have leaned forward, pressing a kiss to Mars’ cheek. Maybe nuzzled before leaving, maybe falling to a real kiss. Maybe getting pulled further into the branches, where they could be hidden from the rest of the world.
But. But he just smiled, reaching to set his hand on Tuesday’s, squeezing gently before shifting, somewhat-gracefully getting down from the tangle of roots.

Adarsa flinched back, gasping a bit as he looked at Atsushi, visibly wounded. “I-” Fuck him- Fuck him! “I cared about you, Atsushi- I still care! How- How dare you act like I don’t!” He spat, hands clenching into fists, like that would do anything at all.
“You- you bastard!” Adarsa hissed, finally surging forward to shove Atsushi, with all the affect of a beanie baby being gently underhandedly tossed at him. “I always cared about you and- you- what- just ship my things back like- you-” He was becoming increasingly more incoherent, angry tears rising to his eyes.
Adarsa grabbed at Atsushi’s (skimpy, only technically) shirt, and then did nothing with it, curling inwards to plant his forehead in Atsushi’s (exposed) chest. “I- I just- why are you both here and so- so angry?- I-”

Adarsa bristled. I can send them all to you, if you want. Did he really care that little? Willing to just- ship everything they had shared across the world? “I-”
And the Shi had the audacity to lecture him. “I know what people do when they want to keep something, Shi!” He hissed, venomous again. “Did you not think that was why I kept all of my things at your place? To ensure I kept coming back, over and over and over?”
“And- And what about you?” He hissed, voice rising. “What you just- just- just decide suddenly to drop me because you were bored? That’s not what someone does with something they-” They like? They love?
Did they ever love each other?

Adarsa didn't really know much about what was ever happening in game- things popped up all the time, and he just... it was too much.
So clicking on the button for the new wow sparkly amazing Park of Dogs was utterly amd entirely an accident. He looked around for an obvious way to leave when the one dog gave a spiel-
Stopping when he saw Atsushi inside, amongst the round pokemon.
And then, naturally, he wandered in. "Sh- Kazuki!" He called, correcting himself poorly, and moving to smash into Atsushi's side. "What are you doing here?"
Dahlia, in his arms, wriggled and wrihed to get free, bulk landing on and completely flattening one of the weird bugs.

Adarsa kept walking, and Mars was still there, because he couldn't fathom that anyone would not want to talk to him. Adarsa rolled his eyes, looking doggedly forward- forwardish. He was decideedly not looking towards the ferris wheel, because why would he do that. He instead looked sidelong, at the swingy-ship ride, which he did not like. They were too... swingy. "Oh, it's great." He said, just as bright, and cloyingly saccharine. "I think the dusty-abandoned-ruins vibe is suuuuper endearing. Lots of variety in the routes, too. So. That's great!"
The pidove still on his shoulder had gone silent since stepping into the corruption zone, whale-eyed and looking everywhere. It finally chittered, quietly, at the sight of an abandoned and forsaken hotdog stand. Ada glanced at him- giving Mars a side-eye as he went on about the place being fucked.
Because, yeah, it was.
"Are you hungry, Carnation?" He asked instead, dipping back behind the counter to peer around. There was no food left, only empty trays and plates- and something scraped into the tile. Adarsa frowned, kneeling down, reaching to brush away sand-
someone help me
As he read the word there was a crunch from the distance, stone against sand, and a strong and choking feeling of dread. "Mars," Adarsa whispered, finally addressing Tuesday properly. "Get- get down here! Now!"

Adarsa blinked at the sudden shift in genre, watching the npcs toddle off- attention only caught again when Atsushi sat up.
And he bristled. “Wh- What is there to talk about?” He snapped. “You-” The rest vanished in a huff of breath. Because- the distorted memories were fading, now, no longer being held by Shi.
Just the truth. Not a perfect relationship by any stretch- but nothing terrible or tragic. Just a relationship. Just a breakup.
“You didn’t even call. You- you sent a text. You kept my stuff.” He’d raced back to the apartment, at that- only to see the door wide open, cleaners inside. Tidying up the carpet, the walls.
Prepping for a next renter.

Adarsa huffed, still not looking at the distant carnival, and not a Tuesday, because why would he? He had no reason to look at her, especially when she was being- like this.
And- and what was this- I’ve been known to sometimes exaggerate. And then to throw it at Adarsa, too- like he was the one being ridiculous. Like Tuesday hadn’t-
He let out a frustrated sigh. Swirly pen scrawled Unfortunate does not even begin to describe this last week, which- yeah. Yeah.
Adarsa took in a deep breath, and forced himself to turn, and give Tuesday a smile. “Sure, Mars. Bygones.” He said, and started walking away from her, into the ruined Hattrem’s Home, black grit sand crunching under his boots.

#s://cdn~discordapp~com/attachments/355418129385390081/1148044783571447929/image~png Adarsa had predictably yelped, when he was grabbed in turn, and tried to wrest his arm away- only to be dragged off by whomever-this-woman-was. He shrank back a bit under her sharp tone, eyes narrowing. “Then what’s with all this-” He gestured towards her, as if the entirety of her was at fault.
There were plenty of guys who played female characters, and plenty still who dressed up as them at the con. Mars could have just… not attended. Or come and not dressed up. Or just not claimed to be Tuesday!
But this- some random woman here dressed up all ridiculously and claiming to be Tuesday- it was nonsense. “Why isn’t he here? Tell me!” Adarsa demanded, eyes narrowing. “Tell me, or I’ll ruin you.”

Mirages aren’t just hallucinations- they’re a quirk of light reflecting, drawing something far-away into an image within arm’s reach. A telescope, a staged photo, objects in (the) mirror are farther than they appear.
And Tuesday- whether she wanted to admit it or not- could never stray too far from Adarsa. He stood before a decaying arch, which proudly announced Hattrem’s Home, with a cartoon pokemon gesturing at the landscape beyond- sand and rubble, now.
At the shout of his name, he turned- Carnation atop his shoulder- eyes flicking over Tuesday… and then he turned away again. Whatever she wanted-
He wasn’t interested.
“I thought you never wanted to see me again.” He said, sharp and bitter- like seeing Tuesday, the real Tuesday, and not the one at the convention, had dredged up their last argument like it had been yesterday. Adarsa kept his eyes forward, looking at the crumpled ferris wheel.

He didn’t fall into water- He was pulled down, and then fell up- breath caught regardless, even as he fell forward onto grass. Adarsa gasped, blinking. He- he had- He was turned around, now, facing away from the lake. The creepy guy still wasn’t there- just the ring of trees around, and the evening sky. Adarsa wobbled to his feet, turning to glance at the lake again- this time reflecting a perfect image, his own face peering- pensively- back at him.
“Adarsa!” The call was loud and clear- and it sent a knife through Ada’s chest, heart racing. Adarsa just stood there, staring blankly ahead as a figure moved out from the trees- and ran at him. “Adarsa- there you are-”
He was pulled into a crushing grip, held tight tight, face pressed into the woodiness of tobacco and vanilla, cocoa and sap.
He was held just as tightly as he had been before, but everything was different. The smell, the setting, the source of the desperation. Not something vicious and evil, trying to goad a reaction- but frightened, loving. Adarsa was being held so tight because he was desperately loved.
“Darcy?”

He's able to get a good look at the weird, strange not-Tuesday woman, because she wanted to stare at him for a solid ten minutes. She doesn't even really look like Tuesday, beyond that she's blonde-ish and arrogant. And looks at him like he's some kind of (ugly, annoying) bug.
"H- Hey!" Unfortunately, Adarsa was not going to just leave her alone if she did that, because this was Adarsa and not only did he know better than whoever-she-was who she was supposed to be- he had a long and storied habit of sticking his entire face where it didn't belong.
He reached out, grabbing at one of her pretentious, silken opera gloves, because of course that was appropriate clothing for a packed convention- Cosplay or no. "But you have time to lie?" He snapped back, which was incredibly smart and sexy of him. "I- You don't get to just- say you're someone else! For clout!"

Adarsa looked over at Mars, faintly aghast. "Sneakers? Tutorial?" He repeated, voice erring into disgust. "No- Mars- Sneakers won't be cute with this and- and I already picked out shoes!" He cried, rampant outrage at the smallest of inconveniences. "I- I made them! In the creator, when I picked out everything else! They're so pretty and black kneehigh leather boots- I'm- Why would they have me design them if they're just- Sneakers?"
And it was all so... familiar. Sitting with Mars, complaining about work or literary analysis, or... or anything, and Mars was always there, and always cared. And... and there was a heartbeat in there, maybe, where Tuesday's lips seemed to quirk, and-
And she laughed it off, and they kept going, like nothing had been left behind.
Adarsa looked down at his feet, worrying the hem of his shirt. His leg hurt less, now. The leggings had even been repaired. It seemed the shrine, and the bird atop it, really could work miracles.
Adarsa breathed out a sigh. "Um, thanks. For... killing the... thing. And for finding me the..." He gestured at it. "Big? Healing tree?"
