Vincent would like to know about what Zwei is up to right now! He's in an information black hole at the moment, but he really isn't sure what her reaction was going to be in the end, besides retreating from the surface for a time. So, yes, he's curious to see where she's bouncing around to . . . He's pretty confident that he can't use her, but that doesn't mean it's not amusing to have someone else causing trouble to cover for his more under-handed schemes. :3c
Aside from knocking off Drift, has she been doing anything?
Just the typical listening in on things and watching from inside. TURQUOISE STILL HAS HER CURIOUS. She kiiiind of wants to get in their favor because maybe they'll fall for it and that'll give her a little leeway to do what she wants. Not that I imagine she will, but Zwei thinks she can!
Also, it would make Echo miserable if Zwei could earn Turquoise's trust. Echo's suffering would be pretty nice, especially since she's been getting around to bottling everything lately. Might as well earn some Turq trust, use it to smash Echo's hopes, and consequentially take over the body... and whatever comes after that. She's not 100% positive on that yet.
He took a lot of naps, did some sewing, made a few choice give-no-fucks moves, cuddled all up over Obsidian, and had a shibari lesson with Yuri and Masked Lady. So, overall . . . Not a whole hell of a lot? He's only just starting to wander away from Iolite from his imposed house arrest as no one seems to be coming to the door to draw blood from him. Clearly, he has to go out to them . . . Sigh~.
Yeah, how is Echo doing? She seems to be out and about like normal, but . . .
She's still a little stressed—just nowhere near as much as before, thank god. Bottling feelings and pushing complicated thoughts aside? Best solution. On the brighter side of things, Echo talked/ranted about her feelings on the previous happenings to Turquoise AND people outside of Turquoise encouraged it from her. In fact, the people outside of Turquoise (mmmostly Emil and Lloyd, I think) helped her to accept that she's Not Okay and that it's okay to... not be okay! As a result, she started getting back up on her feet! Well, on one foot. She's still confused and sitting around, waiting to see what happens.
However, most recently, Breeze put Echo under the impression that it was impossible for Three to get rid of Zwei—at least, on her own—and that crushed her. She's... not sure what to do about that! GETTING RID OF ZWEI WAS KIND OF A PRIORITY FOR ECHO, THIS IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING.
Is there something that nobody's asked you yet that you REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT? Because you should talk at me about that while I think of a proper question for you.
So, god, I really wish canon would get back to Vincent, so I can see how exactly he breaks down to Gilbert which I think is what has to happen?! And I really hope he doesn't get redeemed, but that's another story . . . But, yeah, I keep playing him on this one-way track which is pretty canon and what not. Honestly, Gilbert is the only one who will be able to have a say when it comes to Vincent changing his goals like he was starting to do before lol Lacie lol Jack. In Aather, I feel like he should have cracked . . . But that abyss (lol!) of self-hatred and guilt hasn't even come close to being touched, because Vincent controls information as well as himself so well. So, I'm just very unsure of when, where, and how he should crack, but I feel half-and-half confident that he hasn't had that crack yet, though I am lining up the memories to make it more feasible.
. . . This will all be null when Leo rats Vincent out, and Vincent completely loses it in his general direction. But, yes, it is one-hundred percent on my mind!
i like your use of abyss there. :') Yeah, I like the past/history stuff, but I really want canon to get back to the present because of things like this!
OKAY tell me what is going on with Vincent and Leo, I am dying to know.
We're going to be shafted into more history until like August, I bet. I'm jinxing it, but I feel like this is going to be the way of it. At least, it gives me hope that the ending will be a completely tight and finished product as she is giving so much rounding out in all areas. Also, my hopes are up that Vincent and Gilbert will show up as pawns in the Sablier history, so we can see what they were like from the adult end of things . . . ♥
Vincent and Leo . . . Hell, I don't remember what everyone does or doesn't know. So, yeah, Leo remembered declaring his intentions as the future Glen Baskerville to Oz, then he promptly went and told everyone about it. Vincent had a minor panic attack and kind of stabbed him a little. :') Afterwards, he filled Leo in on the situation while gently guiding him on how to act in this and that situation . . . Then, we had our great plot! Which did not involve Leo at all, yesss! As for right now, Vincent told Leo what he did and is half-blackmailing half-guilt-tripping the boy into following along with his whims. Leo isn't particularly pleased, but . . . Well, if you want something done and Vincent Nightray offers to be on your side of the game, you're going to kind of jump on that offer.
Oh, yeah, inserting thiiis: Vincent shared the game-changing memory of where he declared his wish to be erased from existence with Leo, so that he could control when and where that reveal comes about, considering how Leo responded to information he wasn't warned about before. So, Leo does hold some control over Vincent in as much as you can have a shock collar on a pit bull and hope it doesn't mangle you anyway. Vincent has known for REAL-TIME MONTHS that Leo could very well become his worst enemy in Aather, so he is playing the game very, very smoothly with the boy. The shit that he will do to trap him hasn't even begun, really.
I do love how Mochizuki's fleshing it out, I will soooo give her that. All of the shiny details...
Yes and no? She hopes for freedom, but she thinks it's kind of blear. Like I said, she's still unsure why exactly Vincent killed Zwei—the only thing Echo can think of is that Zwei was caught and THAT pissed Vincent off?? Because her killing Oz didn't seem too out of the ballpark. That said, she's not sure of what Vincent intends to do with either of them, whether he's going to take it out on Echo or he has something else up his sleeve orrrrr... god knows what, she can't predict the man. BUT HE MUST BE FURIOUS AT ZWEI! AND HER, BY ASSOCIATION because why not, Vincent seems to do what he wants. Fuck if she wants to go near that though... she's upset at Vincent, and she wants her freedom, but that can wait just a little longer since he hasn't tried to get back at her yet and he seems to be in some trouble of his own. Let's take advantage of this spare time to get bearings in order, yes.
Oh, and, haha, one of the reasons she wants rid of Zwei is because she believes it will cut ties to Vincent completely. I'M NOT A DOLL WHO HARNESSES YOUR BELOVED PSYCHO ANYMORE, LEAVE ME ALONE! I think I told you a while back that she wanted to rebel!!1, but then Vincent happened and she lost her courage on the spot and. Yeah. Facing the real deal was just something she was not prepared for.
Who is more of a problem for Vincent, Echo or Zwei? /more selfish questions gawd
