[ on the beach, he has made a bonfire out of broken plungers and set fire to it

and is now beating it with another broken plunger like that's going to do anything. because it's broken, the remains of the handle aren't even that long so the flames are tantalizingly close to his bruised and bloody hands.

also he's got a MASSIVE shiner. one eye is fully swollen shut ]

[rippled]

[ they just watch all of this like

well. okay then. what do you even say to this. ]

Who did you get into a fight with?

[foreverphantom]

[ stops and glares at them with their one open eye ]

No one.

[rippled]

Uh huh.

[ very believable. ]

What are you doing?

[foreverphantom]

Nothing. [ i'm sorry. ]

[rippled]

[ they look at the mess

then back at him. ]

This is nothing?

[foreverphantom]

Why do you care?

[rippled]

It is concerning to look at.

[foreverphantom]

Sounds like a you problem, then.

w6, wednesday

[foreverphantom]

[ after all the excitement of minievent, brimstone can be found at the cafe! and for once he is eating something! a protein bar, to be exact.

although it's really more like 'nibbling.' and he looks like he's filled with hatred as he does it. ]

[rippled]

[ watches.... ]

Do you not like that?

[foreverphantom]

[ glances at them from the corner of his eye warily ]

...no. I don't like anything.

[rippled]

Nothing at all? Really?

[foreverphantom]

No.

[ are we still talking about just food or... ]

[rippled]

[ mystery ]

Do you not have a sense of taste?

[foreverphantom]

No, I do. But food is disgusting. Eating is disgusting. I'm only doing it because I have to.

[rippled]

[ they really cannot relate to this at all. ]

No wonder you are always in a bad mood...

[foreverphantom]

[ huffs as he takes another measly bite of protein bar ]

Yeah, being human is inherently terrible like that.

[rippled]

Were you never human before this?

[foreverphantom]

[ sighs ] No, I used to be. But that was over a decade ago.

[rippled]

I see... and then you were a spirit of some sort?

[foreverphantom]

...yeah. A ghost.

[rippled]

[ he mentioned having ghost powers the last time they 1v1 attempted... ]

I see. [ they point towards themself. ] I am a spirit.

[foreverphantom]

[ just raising a skeptical eyebrow ]

[rippled]

What? I did say I wasn't human.

[foreverphantom]

If it walks like a human, and talks like a human, and eats like a human...

[rippled]

You just described yourself.

[foreverphantom]

That's because I got shoved into this human body. Presumably, this is what you're always like.

[rippled]

You weren't paying attention to my trial...

[ they say this because uruha had explained a bit about saber's situation. they do not sound surprised though, because they think it would be more shocking if brimstone had. ]

In any case, you are assuming this sort of thing works the same in different worlds.

[foreverphantom]

[ in his defense that was my, lisa's, fault because i only half paid attention to like every trial since dying lol ]

It's hard to imagine a spirit that looks and acts so human. Especially when they extremely aren't where I come from.

[rippled]

Oh, it is very new for me. I had only been one for a few weeks before I came here.

[foreverphantom]

...and what form did you have before then?

[rippled]

I was in my... forties? When I originally passed away.

But the next thing I knew, my spirit was summoned hundreds of years later and I manifested like this. But spirits take on many, many different forms where I am from. There are some who you might think look more "correct" from your perspective, I think.

[foreverphantom]

Like?

[rippled]

A little more similar to how you seemed when you went all...

[ they gesture.

when he used his powers in front of them, they mean. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ do they mean his twink ghost form, or the beef ghost form he had a couple times

either way, he hums ]

Was that you, before you got summoned?
