(The other mom LOL)

(Oh- how dare-)

(Okok would u be less angy if I hugged u)

Ame looked up at Gemma, a little startled. “Oh- hi, Gemma. I was calling for Pandora, though-“ She grinned sheepishly, then held her arms out in hopes of getting a hug. “How are you?”

Ame looked up at Gemma, a little startled. “Oh- hi, Gemma. I was calling for Pandora, though-“ She grinned sheepishly, then held her arms out in hopes of getting a hug. “How are you?”

Gemma laughs softly.

"I didn't realize Pandora was mom now as well," she replies, wrapping Ame in a tight, yet gentle hug.

"I"ve been doing well. Curating knowledge and taking care of children and the such," she sighs tiredly, but she looked genuinely happy. "How are you, kid? Eating enough? Getting sunlight? Excercising well? Sleeping 8 hours?"

Ame hugged Gemma back. “Well, she did adopt me, sooo… yeah.”

She stayed silent for a moment. “…I’m doing fine. Haven’t really slept much. Or ate much. But I’m already dead, so what’s the point?” She laughed a little at herself. “I get plenty of exercise, though. Even after the war I’ve been getting into some fights.”

She looked tired, and most definitely not fine, despite her smile.

Gemma blinks.

"Which war?" she asks quietly.

Because she didn't know which time she'd joined back up in the already spaghettified timeline, she couldn't remember which war had already happened.

Ame tilts her head. “…the Great War between the Kingdoms. Is there another one that I didn’t know about?”

"The original war with the Chickens?"

Gemma looks increasingly amused, and also very concerned.

Ame narrows her eyes. “Yes, that one. Is there something you’re keeping from me?”

Gemma starts to laugh.

"I'd keep an eye on any new arrivals. Mainly up in the north, close to my territory. There's a new player up there, surrounded by Darkness. I don't know what her plans are - somehow, not even I have access to that information - but I do know she might be an issue."

Ame stares at Gemma, then takes a step back, nodding. Her expression is suddenly very serious. “Will do. I don’t want another war to break out…” She looks down and sighs. “Especially not when were all still arguing with each other.”

Gemma nods thoughtfully.

"Also: no face is ever what it appears to be. Remember that," she says cryptically, before disappearing in a cloud of purple smoke that's blown away by the wind.

Ame blinks. “Bitch, what the fuck-“

She watches as Gemma disappears. “Why do you always have to be so cryptic-” She looks around, then shrugs. “Whatever.”

The little ghost starts wandering around again, this time a little more alert.

A long flight that took Echo deep into the woods. Far enough that no one would bother to follow her.

She dived sharply, landing at the base of a small cliff in the middle of a large grassy clearing. It barely even qualified as a cliff, merely a sharp drop-off from a small hill.

Echo walked alongside the cliff, analyzing the stony wall until she suddenly stopped. She narrowed her eyes in concentration.

A wave of her hand, and a section of the stone crumbled away to reveal a wooden doorway. A simple illusion to keep wanderers from poking their heads where they don’t belong.

She took a last look behind her and opened the door, closing it behind her. Once the door closed, the illusion set back in place.

(Casually gives everyone a taste of Echos depressing lonely solitary lifestyle)

Avhira was still knocking on the door, a bit frusterated at being ignored for several minutes. "Hello?" They asked, a bit roughly. They adjusted their hood again, getting a bit cold.

"I'm certain that they're in there.." They muttered to themselves.
