don't ask how this works; I have no idea

no questions, only arcana now

[lovefool]

[>You idly wonder how the Nyx Avatar fits in your room. Other idle questions come to mind like: What is this timeline? Between January 31st and March 5th? Pre-emptively? Is this some sort of non-canon meme thread?]

[>... your head is too fuzzy to think about it.]

Oh... thank you...

[theappriser]

[ Nyx Avatar sets the bowl and spoon down on your bedside table and tilts its head in an almost concerned manner. ]

Illness is a debilitating condition. Only with nourishment may one have the strength to endure.

Are you able to sit up?

[lovefool]

I should be able to. [She'll try propping herself up with her hands... and end up sliding back .] ... oh.

[theappriser]

May I help?

[ Nyx Avatar lifts one clawed hand and -- summons a pillow! It looks like a very squishy shadow. It is, however, apparently covered in fleece and does not squeak and run way.

Being as careful as it can be, Nyx Avatar tries to gently help you sit up, so it can slide the pillow behind you. ]

[lovefool]

[Minako will accept the help, after taking a moment to think "... cute..." about the pillow. Then, there is sitting up success! Shadow Pillow needs not fear the ailing leader of SEES!] Hm... I didn't know you could make those.

[theappriser]

[ It shuffles it wings. Looks at the soup. ] It is a hobby. [ Nyx Avatar might be a little embarrassed, not that it's easy to tell with the distorted, mournful voice. ] A way to pass the time, waiting.

[lovefool]

I see... [She smiles.] I'm glad you kept busy. [There's something more than that.] I'm glad you came to see me.

[theappriser]

I heard you were unwell and wished to help remedy the situation. [Shuffles its wings again.]

[lovefool]

That's very kind of you. [Considering their roles. Then again, a case of the sniffles wouldn't make much difference when fighting an avatar of death.]

[theappriser]

[It isn't kind. Nyx Avatar just doesn't want her to suffer any more than she has to.] ... you will always be my dearest. [ Because just enough of it is still Ryoji.

It gently moves the bowl of soup closer to her, waiting to see if she can pick up the spoon herself, or if it will need to attempt to help her with that. It's not sure it can, but it can try... ]

[lovefool]

[She smiles weakly. Just that was reason enough, and it made her happy enough. Her arms feel heavy, but she can pic up the spoon to feed herself well enough.] So you made this, too? [Soup made by the Nyx Avatar???... it's probably not chicken noodle...]

[theappriser]

[No. ... Nyx Avatar did the best it could with what ingredients are on hand in Tartarus.

... good thing your courage is maxed out, right?]

I did. I hope it tastes satisfactorily...

[ It might sound faintly worried. ]

[lovefool]

[>... You feel a sudden sense of dread.]

[>Try the soup anyways?...
>Yes
>No]

[>...
>The soup is unlike anything you've ever tasted before. There are textures you didn't even know existed dancing across your tongue. Then again, "dancing" isn't the right term. It's really more like they're marching across the tongue, set on conquest. It stimulates every last taste bud, but not in a good way, and you can swear it fights being swallowed.
>... Your Courage would clearly increase if it wasn't already at maximum.]
