2026-02-24 14:09:06 +0000 UTCAh, dammit. I was actually *really* looking forward to Embralyne having to deal with facing the Sorceress herself.

2026-02-24 11:37:32 +0000 UTCJust remember that one time Vivi claimed that Raphael likes to “meddle with things” too much. And now? It’s all hey Raphael, go meddle for me!

2026-02-23 23:26:00 +0000 UTCI mean, it's less about the social tax on *Vivi,* which is nontrivial but wouldn't stop her in an emergency, and more that ... uh, Embralyne is a bit hard to deal with, and will be even more so when wounded and vulnerable. Vivi isn't sure of the princess' personality; in particular she's not sure *Embralyne* would be willing or able to 'suck it up' and talk to *Vivi*, and if she isn't, Vivi is quite sure that *she* won't be able to smooth things over. It's precisely because it's an emergency that she'd rather leave the important-but-delicate conversation to someone who's actually good at it. Now, personally, my read on Embralyne is that she actually *does* have enough of a sense of duty to go through with a possibly-unpleasant conversation when it's this important, that her responsibility would outweigh her pride in this instance; but part of having bad social skills is that you can't accurately assess when a conversation is safe, in either direction. Vivi is playing it safe, again precisely because it's important.

2026-02-23 22:30:22 +0000 UTCAh, more work for Rafael! If I didn't know he lives for this kind of thing, I might pity him.

2026-02-23 20:10:46 +0000 UTCAh character development. Vivi finally knows her reputation and her common sense casually breaks people, so instead of addressing those issues and be more considerate, she instead shuffles them all onto his overworked secretary. Baby steps.

2026-02-23 19:51:41 +0000 UTCI imagine poor Rafael blinking for a few seconds before letting out a small sigh 😂😂

2026-02-23 18:32:59 +0000 UTCHey Rafael! A whole city just got soul damage and there is an unprecedented breach in the dimensional border caused by a massive ritual involving bone shards of the colossus. Can you please go ask the Dragon King's daughter about it?
