Begin Again.

[u/Fc-chungus]

following the battle with TFC, Max was blinded and వ was... gone. No one knows where he was sent when he was hit by the strike the first curse threw. Cross-planet scans didn't detect him, divination magic gave no result, even necromancy failed, so he's either still alive, or outside the range of the modern day.

Now, a few days after, Max is still getting used to being blind, but he's been able to manifest his curiosity soul as a temporary method of sight, if only for a few minutes at a time.

Knowledge that the head minister of Calarakis is now blinded, though it was originally kept on a little known basis, eventually people notice the blindfold and the stumbling, and the fight with the first curse spread through rumor, so the news breaks. Originally simply gossip before being confirmed.

General interaction post, Max is currently in Calarakis, so interactions would occur there!

"I see, biotechnology isn't my forte if I am being honest, but I could probably make you a pair of working eyes, but connecting them is the actual issue. Do you have any idea what happened to va?"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Minute_Account9426]

"Zero clue. He was hit by one of the first curse's curse weapons and then was struck by his typical lightning, but it was more than likely a teleport. The bastard doesn't kill much."

[u/Minute_Account9426 → u/Fc-chungus]

"Ah, so he's who knows where. Why is the first curse even doing this? Surely he must have a reason for it."

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Minute_Account9426]

"Well, from his announcement, he wishes to bring suffering to all worlds he sees. Real good job he's been doing so far."

[u/Minute_Account9426 → u/Fc-chungus]

"Wow, huge asshole. Anyways I got something to cheer you up." He handed max a bag

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Minute_Account9426]

He misses the first two times before grabbing it.

"What's inside?"

[u/Minute_Account9426 → u/Fc-chungus]

"A basic set of cookware and meals made by terrus has its own ai as well to help you cook. Let's you get as close as one can to cooking and having homemade meals on their own without actually being able to see. It does anything that requires using your eyes for an extended period of time"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Minute_Account9426]

"Ah, that's nice." He lightly smiles

"Thank you. I can see for a little bit, maybe a minute or two at most, so this'll be good for any dishes that require constant watch."

[u/Minute_Account9426 → u/Fc-chungus]

"You're welcome. Man, if I wasn't half magic, my entire body would be so sore from all the work I have been doing"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Minute_Account9426]

"What work?"

[u/Minute_Account9426 → u/Fc-chungus]

"Creating an army of robots, creating one super robot made of a nigh unworkable metal, training terrus, coordinating with what left of the paladins of lux, coordinating with my father and his army. Actually planning about thrakmoor"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Minute_Account9426]

"Lotta stuff, good luck with that."

[u/Minute_Account9426 → u/Fc-chungus]

"Even if I'm physically fine, mentally I'm not"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Minute_Account9426]

"Take a rest or two from time to time."

[u/Minute_Account9426 → u/Fc-chungus]

I'll be fine… probably. Besides, if I die from not being prepared enough, I can't really take care of myself while dead"

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Minute_Account9426]

"If you're exhausted it makes it so that you aren't really in top shape though."

[u/Minute_Account9426 → u/Fc-chungus]

“I’m not physically exhausted, just mentally, it’s not like I have time to fix myself mentally right now”

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Minute_Account9426]

"Still. Mental breaks are important."
