AMALTHEA

Years ago, you recieved a charter from the United Empire, and were officially made a member of the newly christened Trade Company! Your goal was to seek fortune wherever it may be found in this strange land...of course, through force of arms, if the natives failed to cooperate.

But now things are different. You no longer work for the Empire, but for your homeland of The Kingdom of Latium -- and to a lesser extent, the people you've come to associate here in Jambudvipa. With your mechanical wagons, you are prepared to teach these savages what it means to be Latian, in Her name.

Let the trumpets call out freedom -- let your marching shake the ground! Let the cannons be your voices and may redemption soon be found.

The road to revolution is long and bloody, but liberty is worth dying for. Fight and win, for the good of all Jambudvipa.

[WHY DIDN'T THE WORSHIPPER MENTION THIS

THIS IS...

...

...

...

OKAY IT'S IN THE TOP TEN, OF PAINS.]

[ okay, what the fuck?? ]

Leo--??

[ and he's y'know, going to start reaching to try to grab the rock because this is a smart idea ]

[PULLING ARM AWAY LIKE WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??]

d-don't touch me!

[ TOO LATE, OOPS ]

[ it hurts like hell BUT AT LEAST YOU HAVE A SWEET CLUNKY ROCK HAND now ]

[ well now it's melting into YOUR hand, cascade. it hurts just as much, but at least it's just your hand.

as for Leo, once it stops, he actually looks mostly normal -- except for the rocky outcroppings along his arms. and a deep, deep hunger for plantlife and gemstones. ]

[...Holy shit]

...I feel weird.

[TRYING TO FLAG DOWN ONE OF THE WORSHIPPERS AGAIN BC WHY??]

[ !!!! ]

You are blessed!

What.

By the devas!

Which means exactly...?

Nothing more than that.

[ Immediately hovering at his side. ]

Does it still hurt? How do you feel weird?

I want to eat and plants and gems.

[ Um. ]

It's not ... one of those need hungers, is it?

[ Because while plants might be ok, he doesn't want Leo eating gems when his body could turn back to normal and have to. Digest that. So he'd like to avoid that altogether. ]

Uh.

Don't think so.

[ grits his as the pain throbs up his arm, pulling his hand back with a sneer and staring at it.

okay, so poor life choices are a thing he does sometimes without thinking and this is one of them.

fuck ]

[Making motions with his hand from where he's talking to the worshipers

YOU

SIT

DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING]

[ barely notices that, more staring at his clunky ass rock hand not sure what to think with the residual pain

at least he's not moving from his spot ]

[Eh, it's a plus, anyway. Rook's with them, at least, and Belt's nearby. Once he figures out anything from the worshipers, he'll be right over, so. hang tight.]

[ yeah, Rook can slap him if he's a stupid jerk again ]

Cascade--

[ MY TEAM MY BABS. ]

Damn it...

I... wasn't thinking.

[ obviously. his voice is still strained and he's staring at what the fuck his hand became ]

--it's okay. Keep it at your side for now if it feels strange. We'll see if we can find a way to fix it. For both of you.

It doesn't feel strange. It just hurt.

[ so he can only imagine how much pain Leo was in, but he overhears the food cravings of Leo ]

I don't think it affected me as much.
