#[ truth be told when he was gonna go to sumeru city everyone was caught in a dream loop ]

[starsimpact]

ooc. i’m im the process of (?) making a comic abt this but everything i do i absolutely hate, so— i’m just gonna ramble abt it bc i think this is absolutely hilarious.

while playing the sumeru archon quest, i was thinking abt how/what arvad would be doing. and i got and idea. but also this made me realise how much of an IDIOT this fool really is.

he ended up running into the traveller & paimon on their way to sumeru— so as usual he’s like “omg travel buddy let’s walk together.” but then as soon as they make it to sumeru— arvad fucking DISAPPEARS. and i mean gone. nowhere to be seen ‼️ traveller turns to tell him smth and he’s just poofed. outta there.

so cut to like??? idk how much time actually passed bc that dream loop thing went on for ages. but cut to their first time in aaru village ‼️ after that big ‘ole sandstorm and while everyone’s sitting around really awkwardly and talking, paimon gets a glimpse of arvad out the window and is like “‼️‼️” (tearing up and shit bc y’know. he DISAPPEARED. and the more they learn abt the environment in sumeru the more the lil gal thought he might’ve gotten stuck or died or smth 😭)

so blah blah blah they’re reuniting and talking for a bit. and arvad notices traveller’s akasha terminal and is like “???? what’s this? looks cool??”

so then paimon is like???? confused bc didn’t he get one already?? so she’s just: “oh but didnt you get one in sumeru city??”

no. he did not. this fuck is like "lol i've never even been NEAR sumer city !!!!"

cue trav and paimon abt to WHOOP HIS ASS. bc WHAT DO YOU MEAAAAAAN YOUVE NEVER EVEN BEEN TO SUMERU CITY AFTER BEING IN SUMERU FOR THAT WHOLE TIME????????
