#and it takes years off of liberta's lifespan

[nikikikiko]

i think my favorite thing abt lucilla im realizing is

she can and will just go in Leeroy Jenkins Style but then she'll win and it's hilarious

i think she got it from Gavus, personally, i think thats a gavus thing she inherited and i think it gives Eugene gray hair

AF2 Donna 1/1: The Masquerade Begins

The heroine has made a critical decision. Meanwhile, an unexpected visitor arrives at the governor’s mansion…

~*Scene: Nordia Bar VIP Room*~

Felicita: Huh? Where’s Ash?

Liberta: He left late last night

Nova: Nobody saw him go

Pace: I think Agata sent him off though

Debito: She probably found him while she was out drinking as always. Does she even sleep?

Luca: I don’t think you get to criticize Agata over that

Debito: Shut up

(*knock knock)

Attendant: You have a visitor. May I we come in?

Felicita: Yes

??? (Dante): It’s been a while

Pace: Who’re you?

Debito: Uh, does anyone know him?

Nova: He seems familiar…

Luca: No way, that’s…

Felicita/Liberta: Dante!?

Dante: Yeah, it’s me. This must be a shock

Pace: Why do you have hair!? And you’re so young! Is this real!?

Debito: Show us some proof

Liberta: Um, actually I think Dante looked like this when we first met

Luca: Yes. This is definitely the old Dante

Nova: What in the world happened?

Felicita: We’ve all been worried

Dante: Yeah, sorry for that

Dante: And thanks for saving me. I really made quite the blunder. Vir also told me what happened

Dante: It’s thanks to you that I’m free. I can’t help how I look now though…

Dante: And are you alright, Ojou-san?

Felicita: Yeah, since everyone was with me

Dante: You sure have grown, Ojou-san

Debito: You done now? Then explain why you look like that

Pace: Yeah!! I’m so used to your head looking like it could befriend a deep sea octopus!

Nova: I don’t know about that, but did Vir do something to you?

Nova: Do you feel unwell?

Dante: Thanks, but I’m fine. You should all know anyway in case you get into a similar situation too

Dante: After parting ways with Liberta in Nord, I ended up having to face Vir on my own

Dante: With no other option but to use my Arcana powers, I used The Emperor on him

Dante: But it turns out, he’s the creator of the Tarocco who’s been alive for over 400 years

Dante: As “punishment” for using my powers against the creator, I was returned to my former self

Luca: “Punishment” …When we fought him, he also said we would be punished if we used our powers against him

Dante: Yes. You would have ended up taking some kind of penalty like I did

Dante: The “punishment” is different depending on your powers. There’s no telling what could happen, so be careful

Pace: Yeah, but it doesn’t look like anything bad happened to you?

Debito: Well you lost your ruggedness, but now you got your hair back

Liberta: I liked how you looked before, but since this is the old you, it’s still you!

Dante: What do you mean “still me”!

(*whack) Liberta: Ow!

Felicita: You were asking for that one, Liberta

Nova: I agree

Nova: But this sure is concerning. Did you lose your lifespan for every year of youth you regained?

Luca: Yes, it’s likely. This might be a bit personal, but Pace, I think you’re the one who needs to worry the most

Pace: Huh!? Well, I guess so

Luca: Ojou-sama, you really made the right choice to work on not using your powers

Luca: There’s no telling what would happen if you read his heart. So please be careful

Felicita: Yeah

~*Scene: Governor’s Mansion Bedroom*~

(*knock knock)

Felicita: …Yes?

??? (Giorgio): Ojou

Felicita: That sounded like…

(*door opens)

Felicita: Giorgio, it is you

Giorgio: It’s been a while, Ojou. Have you been well?

Felicita: …Yeah, I have

Giorgio: That didn’t sound very convincing

Felicita: You came all the way to Nordia from Regalo just to say that?

(*smile) Giorgio: You’re just as usual, well or not then. I brought some news for you

Felicita: News…about Mama?

Felicita: If you came all this way…is it bad?

Giorgio: Oh come on, Ojou. Are you sure it isn’t the opposite?

Felicita: Then…

Giorgio: Don’t worry. Mama’s recovering slowly but surely

Felicita: Really? Mama and Papa aren’t making you say that?

Giorgio: No need to be suspicious. They know you’re worried about them so they wouldn’t lie about this

Felicita: Okay

Giorgio: And first off, it wouldn’t make sense for them to send a Court Card out here just to lie

(*phew) Felicita: Right…

Giorgio: So? What about you? Mama’s been worried that you might be blaming yourself to much to make proper decisions

Felicita: I’m fine. Everyone’s here, so I haven’t lost sight of myself

Giorgio: …

Felicita: Besides, if I was always worrying, that would just make Mama and everyone sad

Giorgio: As long as you know that. When do you think you can come home?

Felicita: We’ll have to stay for another ten days at least…

Felicita: But we’ll be bringing Vir back with us. He’s the key to everything

Vir: Vir…the advisor’s orders, I see. Anything you want to tell him?

Felicita: Tell Jolly that everyone’s doing as he ordered. And…

Giorgio: Understood. I’ll report what you told me to the advisor

Felicita: Thanks. I think he’ll hear it from Ash too though…

Giorgio: Ash is headed to Regalo?

Felicita: Yeah, he left last night

Giorgio: I see, alright then

Felicita: Giorgio

Giorgio: Yes?

Felicita: …Thanks for coming all this way. I’m glad I was able to talk to you

Giorgio: Come home safe. Everyone back home in Regalo is waiting for you

Felicita: …Yeah

Giorgio: See you

(*door closes)

Felicita: […Hearing some good news was a relief]

Felicita: [I’ll still worry until I can see her, but I’ll come home to Mama with a smile]
