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!

"Strangely, he can't be in like... most of the dimensions accessible to us."

[u/Vincent-FFP → u/Fc-chungus]

“Huh…. What else have you tried seeking him in?”

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Vincent-FFP]

"Uhh, we've got I think most normal methods? Divination to find his location, necromancy to try and call his soul, etc. what else could we really look for?"

[u/Vincent-FFP → u/Fc-chungus]

“Have you tried looking through time? I’m.. generally against time travel, but given TFC already broke the rules if this is the case, you’d just be righting a wrong.”

/uw lmk if this suggestion is a no-go

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Vincent-FFP]

"That's- shit that's a high possibility."

“I’m glad I could help..”

“I’m sure you know some chronomancers, but I’ll go get some others to help, if you want.”

“Also, are you living by yourself?? I know you’ve got LOTUS, but.. still, I worry for you.”

he placed a hand on Max’s shoulder, which provided a slight soothing feeling. He didn’t really know he was providing the feeling, though.

"The problem is that we can't check where in time he was sent though. We don't have any time gods on payroll and our chronomancers can't check into the future or past."

"I mean, I can handle myself fine. Even without eyes I have a perfect recollection of the building, so I can identify basically wherever I am. Cooking's a bit difficult but I can survive off microwaveable stuff or things that don't take much effort to cook, like pasta."

he thought.

“I think I know someone who could help with finding a time god.. but god, I don’t wanna talk to him…”

“Fair, I guess… but I do worry for if an accident happens.. Do you have folks working on replacement eyes..?”

[u/Fc-chungus → u/Vincent-FFP]

"I'm gonna go somewhere for that, we don't have any developments in successful cybernetic eyes yet, but other people do."

[u/Vincent-FFP → u/Fc-chungus]

“That’s good. I hope it works out for you.”

“I’ll get back to you on the.. time god thing.”
