#that man deserves a raise if he has to wrangle Lavender in later chapters

[cryptidblue1]

Dialog my fucking weakness, because of course I want to get the aftermath of chapter six done on the Knights side of things first so I can just spew the panic rambles of Lavender in peace.



But also, god I need to figure out names for the baby vessels, especially baby PV because I don't think I can bullshit a "Yeet myself out a window" answer for Lavender in regards to playing keep away from PK after the end of the last chapter. Like even as I'm writing chapter seven I can not feasibly find a way where PK would not be like "I need to meet this person that could be the answer to the infection since the Vessel plan has completely failed" because PK would def want to at least study Lavender to see if maybe what they do could be replicated with like Soul Arts or some other form of seals and bindings, which means more could safely contain the infection and maybe weaken the Radiance enough they could fight her on their terms.

The target has been painted on this poor idiot's head and they are basically being cornered and being made to actually confront the other group that had basically triggered their constant looping because when they were PV they had wanted to save Hallownest as well and not just their siblings, but now their plans to just throw themselves at the wall that is the Radiance secretly until something sticks is now out the window and the thing that usually loops them back to before their siblings hatched is not cooperating so they can't see a way out of this outside of packing everyone up and hiding in a cave in the wilds.

Maybe kill a nosk and take over their damn home in Deepnest.

But yeah I'm hitting a point of 'oh no' because all these other characters want to have conversations and so I can't get away with just full on Vessel rambles. This is doubly an oh no because I have no idea how to really portray PK when not being viewed through the lens of Lavender's love/fear of him and the annoyed lens of the Shade Lord making Ghost ready to throw hands if this night light makes their sibling cry at all.
