Dungeon Meshi Quick Reacts

CH.30 (Good Medicine)

I kind of assumed that things would get worse from here...

...yeah, there's no 'but' to that. Getting Falin back so quick was too good to be true.

Aren't those the ghosts Falin talked to? They could be friendly.

"ee gads! a hairless little man!" I'd be frightened too if Chillchuck was suddenly behind a door I'd just opened.

Chillchuck, buddy, less than 24 hours ago you threw a knife directly into a dragon's eye. You can take care of some worgs, right?

Senshi's a card carrying member of the smells-okay-to-me-chief club.

Orcs be like 'oh, dragon's gone? Hm. Curious' and then just carry on. Wouldn't you be worried that something took out the dragon? Could be even more dangerous than the dragon itself.

I feel like at this point Falin might be just that.

MOUTH TO MOUTH RESUSCITATION!

Marcille, I don't think you have a lot of options.

......just realized those moose antlers are holding up her rack. Talk about a pushup bra. Damn. Respect.

Wait go back to that "create monsters to do their bidding" thing again. Was that the little mini dragons or does that include larger monsters like the dragon itself?!

OR something that was IN the dragon, controlling its actions and make it act irrationally? Is that why the Sorcerer wasn't surprised to see Falin as a separate thing outside the dragon? Was the assumption that whatever THING it was had escaped and become Falin?

And for all we know... it kinda had. It had merged with her spirit....

Or maybe I'm way off.

Congrats on the larger story plot! :D You're now in even more danger! Hoorah!

Chillchuck, a normal person would just go 'I'm leaving, pay me'. You're giving yourself away, worrying for them.

I can't hate him for the reasoning here. The deeper you go, the less likely you are to be found. The only person who cares enough about Marcille and Laios and Chillchuck to find their bodies are.... each other. So if they're dead here, they're likely dead-dead.

I want to nestle into her bosom and live there as a little creature.

Moreso than when she was literally in the gullet of a red dragon?! Come on, be reasonable. At least she's alive now. And remembers who she is.

Ooooh friendly ghosts. Makes sense why Falin was so chill about them.

All the more reason to believe there's something to be done!

Love the doggo yawning behind Chillchuck.

He's a coward, but being afraid isn't necessarily a sign of weakness. It's a sign that you realize how dangerous a situation is. Cowardice isn't stupidity, no more than ignorance of danger is bravery.. I think the orc leader is maybe realizing he's not doing it for completely selfish reasons. Mad respect to her though.

It WAS Falin, wasn't it? It wasn't as if it was a thing pretending to be her. She was there, and she was revived successfully, and then the soul confusion thing happened.

......damn. What a small holiday they got, before the next horrible thing happened...

hey, Marcille is not dumb! She's got loads of braincells! they're just all focused on doing evil stuff and being gay.

🎯

That's right! It's just like you, Chillchuck!

Was that... there before?

Oh, okay, no, it was. Hm.......

This stupid man is about to full a Falin and jump out a window to go look for her, isn't he.

Gods, this sucks for him so much. For all of them. Because they.... they WERE successful! They rescued Falin! They brought her back from the head! They DID that!

But now, instead of getting the reward of it, she's just gone. Is it better, because she's alive?

Or worse, because the threat is even more nebulous?

If they all died, would it be worth it?

who's the coward...? he's ready to go back.

For Falin, they went down there. They risked themselves.

For them, after talking to him only a bit, the orc leader went from 'hey, nice snack for my dog' to 'we're helping you get that girl back'.

It's about the CONNECTION!!! IT'S ABOUT HELPING EACH OTHER AFTER LEARNING TO UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER!!!

[malkmadness]

every multiple of five for whichever oc u want to talk about most :>

DOES A LITTLE DANCE. its Faline time

5. Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?

Pre-embrace, Faline (known in life as Sammy), would have spoken about her passion for photography. If you were somebody she trusted, she would get into the nitty gritty of her work as a crime scene photographer, and maybe, how beautiful she really finds it. After her embrace, ironically for her being a toreador, a lot of that passion was lost. She lost her fiance and her work: the two things that she cared about. Faline finds her new passion in the sabbat, and it becomes everything to her. As a ductus of the path of cathari, she would give some speech about the importance of giving into pleasure, of only seeking selfish enjoyment out of unlife, of never holding back. Post sabbat… Faline wouldn’t have anything to say. She’s lost everything again. Joining the Camarilla only out of her own perceived necessity. She hasn’t found her passion again. Not yet.

10. What age do they most want to be right now?

She wishes she was 24 again. When her fiance proposed, and when he thought he had everything he could have wanted. He was in love, she was doing well in his work, they were about to buy a home together. She had no idea that in a year, they would lose everything.

15. What would they consider a waste of time– other than school or work?

I would say needless arguments, mostly because it’s one of the ‘sins’ in her path (fighting amongst pack members). But she is kind of a bitch and likes to egg on her priest (because it usually ends in them having hate sex lmao) So. Shrugs! I can’t think of anything, mostly because Faline herself is very unsure of what she wants out of unlife or what she believes at this point. She has so many issues god bless

20. What do they like that nobody else does?

Faline is a very weird toreador because she loves like. Run-down and dingey places. If it looks like you’re about to be kidnapped or murdered there, he feels at home. She finds these settings ‘raw’ and ‘filled with emotion’. His favorite place to take his dates is this reeeeally shitty and rundown motel in East LA. Her and her ‘partner’ (faline and the pack priest have something so weird lol) go there like twice a week and just absolutely wreck the place. It’s awesome.

25. Safety or possibility?

Safety. Faline fought tooth and nail as a shovelhead to survive, and god damnit, she wasn’t going to allow her loss of life to be in vain. Survival is essential. 

30. What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

She would have made her pack leave the Sabbat years ago. Once she started actually caring for and loving her packmates, she realized their fates were doomed. She had seen countless packmates in the past meet their final death, and though she had gone this long without caring… it’s different now. She loves them, and that makes it difficult to be a good ductus. He knows that his priest specifically would never forgive him, and that hurts him even more. So instead, he enjoys their time together while she can. She isn’t sure which is more selfish.
