[ Poor Daan... ]

I don't blame you... I think the burning blood sensation and mental problems I had came from the swamp. It was hard for me to tell at the time. Everyone before had better effects, in my opinion, since you can still try to defend yourself.

[ very hard to defend yourself when you're mentally unstable and have trouble with reality and fantasy. ]

What was your trip like?

[ Well tbf Daan was dealing with 2x the amount of pain which is pretty debilitating in itself. Physical vs mental wellbeing, rip. ]

Terrible, as you could expect.

[ yes... gojo is arrogant enough to think he can survive that he's stupid ]

Played with your guys' feelings and mind like usual?

I was made to kill my own wife, so yes.

[ he says this so dully and blankly. ]

[ Mm. ]

Would you like some water?

I'll take it, yeah.

[ He will go get him a glass and then also return with some candy. ]

[ Wow what kind of candy. Takes this glass of water and also a painkiller. ]

[ It is gummy bears... ]

If I knew you were going to take painkillers I would have gotten you actual food.

[ Wow... what the fuck is this ... this is his first gummybear experience. ]

I ate before we arrived for the "main event" of our venture.

[ And it ended up terribly. It's fine though he's not hungry. ]

[ ??? ]

Main event?

It was some kind of murderous competition tournament for the entertainment of demons.

[ Amazing. They only fought two rounds but that's fine. ]

This really sounds like something out of a movie.

[ Says an exorcist. ]

Coliseum style?

...Might not be inaccurate? I don't know that much about coliseums enough to make that kind of call...

I think the emperors or whatever pit people to fight to the death.

Or fight a lion.

It was people. I'm sure you could venture a guess, but familiar faces.

... I can. Must have been rough on you guys.

[ What does this place want? What does the fog want...? Those this add to the ritual? Does chaos work as seasoning for their god? These thoughts are incredibly fast and it trails into more paranoid thinking before it quiets. ]

Or, I guess, at least you. Kanda's himself and I don't think he'd admit it.

I witnessed him die, actually... so I think "rough" would be putting it lightly.

I didn't recognise either of the people he was made to fight, but I presume they must be important to him. After all, my first opponent was my own wife.

[ So like, that's the bar they're working with. ]

I still don't think he'd admit to it having too much of an impact on him.

[ But... ]

Did you guys win this main event? Or did you guys escape?

...Saying "won" would be a little...

By the rules of the tournament, our team did win, I suppose. But Mr. Kanda and Mr. Aventurine died, and the only survivors were myself and Mr. Strife.

[ And then fucking Kanda died later so they really left me to be LMS. ]

I don't make the objectives.

[ HIS WAS TO FULFILL A CONTRACT HE DIDNT REMEMBER SIGNING. ]

... Aventurine and Strife were with you?

As were Pickles, Ms. Gainsborough, Miss Kisaragi, Mr. Nehan, and Karlach. As well as a few other faces I don't recognise...

But our team composed of those four.

[ is yuul kissing another gbf furry but this time twink ]

So it kind of sounds like my and Vin's trip.

[ I do think Nu deserves to suffer a graveyard ship despite trying to run away. ]

Could be.

We only returned as two after all. Just like you.

[ Many thoughts that just kind of are grumbling because I don't want to write it out. ]

And I'm guessing you guys got two items from some weird room?
