Celt has taken a liking to Esva despite Esva's alien nature. Such magnanimity is to be expected from Celt. Esva may live.
"What a cute little creature! I wonder if I might get a slime pet myself..."
To be perfectly honest, Orchid feels bad about the whole Julias thing. First he kills the guy in his own Entirety, then he goes to another Entirety and more or less betrays him. He meant what he said about the whole making an effort to keep him safe thing, but all things considered he doesn't expect Julias to trust him, believe him, and least of all forgive him. And, hell, why would he?
He wasn't aware that Yval had a brother, and he's... baby?
Huh. Yval could have sworn he mentioned Oliv being his brother during their date. Turns out that wasn't the case, but oh well. These things happen when a date turns into chaos. ANYWAY, Oliv's glad Yval has friends now! :D
"I thought she had a snake on her butt, but the snake IS her butt! I want a snake butt, too!"
That's Box-chan's dad!!!!!!! Box-chan is very attached to Arquen, pretty much literally when they're in the same space as one another.
Norn dong didn't happen. Wiggly friend didn't happen. Everything is normal between them.
Despite being a violent beast warrior, Erol was nice to her from their first meeting. Plus he's big and fluffy, so what's not to like??? (she is actively ignoring the bloodstains) ^^ kity
Poor, poor Julias. All he wanted to do was be an effective agent of Ignis, and then he got Halyn'd. And then he got Muri'd! It's hard for Umbra not to actively pity him, really. He's certainly competent and all that, but it's hard to focus on that when she's just thinking about what an unfortunate soul he is.
Julias is one of the few people who knows Ara's secret - namely, that she's a Superior Being called Empathy. She feels a bit bad about spooking him that night where she explained as much and needed him to take her to Ignis, but it had to be done. That aside, Julias seems like a kind and reliable person, albeit one carrying much stress in his heart...
2cro owes Julias a lot. Despite the red flags covering his entire being, Julias and his brother took 2cro in anyway and did their best to help 2cro get settled and avoid detection. It sure would be a shame if 2cro wasn't who he said he was and was just using them the whole time!
Arquen was awfully grumpy about given LeFleuris his stolen backpack back. Almost like he was having a poor time coping with killing a child or something! What was a softie like that doing in a killing game? Well, LeFleuris supposes most of them didn't have much choice...
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (endless nervous sweating as he scrambles to get rid of the wiggly friend)
He had a wiggly friend!
Poe can't help but find it endearing that Arquen keeps this strange little creature around, but he's naturally careful not to draw much attention to this fact.
Poe is nice! Kind of splodey sometimes though.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TALKING BOX AHHHHHHHHHHHH DEMONS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
He yells a lot.
How classically annoying of an Ignis lackey to immortalize an act of defiance against her. What, is she supposed to be afraid of a cardboard box? How pathetic.
The nature of Box-chan's existence causes it to feel a sense of distaste toward Opine. Since the rest of the Tested openly dislike her, too, it doesn't feel bad to not like her, either.
This box has seen things. Also when did Arquen adopt a box
Is his uniform too hot? He always seems so sweaty all the time. But he's nice! He talks to Arquen a lot!
Ara is so happy that Box-chan exists! They're so cute, and it's sweet to see Arquen be so kind... and to see Ignis let Arquen keep them around!
Box-chan and Ara are SUPER tea party buddies. They were practically made for each other.
She never really expected Arquen to adopt a box, but... well, to be perfectly honest she feels like she should stop not expecting things. The box is fine.
Arquen has two bosses apparently?! Umbra looks a little mean, but she's nice!
If it fits, they sits.
Istra really likes snacks, so they're good friends! Unfortunately they aren't strong enough to give Istra rides, which they seem to want a lot...
Frenzael loves Asena more than words can describe. As the two primordial halves of Entirety itself, there is an immortal bond between them that transcends time and space and carries across the bounds of death. She is everything they are and everything they are not. Asena completes them, and they complete her in turn.
They say this to her, whisper what feelings can even be captured with vocalization, and their heart swells even further as she responds in kind with "lmfao gay".
Oh, Julias, such a tease! She always gets so close to that intriguing soul of his, only for him to flee into the night! It's almost like he doesn't want her to eat his soul or something! Come now, better a beautiful professional like herself than Ignis, right? He owes her for that whole "harboring 2cro" thing, so the least he could do is offer up just a nibble...
There's a certain sort of shame in looking at Exuro. She doesn't deny her actions; in past cycles she was decidedly more callous and sadistic, and no number of retcons from Opine can take away the reality of what transpired. Furthermore, she continues to keep the same sort of company she did back then, so it isn't as though she's turned over a new leaf and become a good guy worthy of forgiveness. Similarly, should they encounter each other in a Competition again... well, a death game is a death game. She'll try to tamp down all the torture, but it is what it is. She holds no animosity toward him - she respects him, even - but she neither expects nor is offended by that sentiment not being reciprocated.
Seraye's boyfriend-slash-bodyguard who she hired a long time ago to help protect the Doll Shop. This proved to be a pretty good choice, considering how many megalomaniacal gods and godlike beings showed up at her door to cause problems on purpose. Even after becoming an immortal deity she continues paying him, especially since he and his staff keep getting blown up even without interference from the Test Reality. Though she trusts him wholeheartedly - he's proven his competency many times, after all - she can't help but worry about him. She worries less every day, though, and she wonders how she ought to feel about the cause being more "he's died so many times that he's probably fine" than anything...
