[Ironeye - Revenant Private Chat]
Ironeye:
So... are you still looking for your locket?
Revenant:
no
Still nothing
Ironeye:
Well, I don't want to make things more difficult
but if you gave us clearer instructions, we might actually be able to find it
Revenant:
but that's my secret
I don't want anyone to know
Ironeye:
like Recluse said, we won't dig into your secret
do you want us to help you or not?
Revenant:
get off my back, Ironeye you're not helping
Ironeye:
You're always so stubborn
It's difficult when you're trying so hard to protect a secret while the locket itself is already missing
Revenant:
It's not gone until I find it
Duchess already ransacked my room and she didn't find anything either!
Ironeye:
because she genuinely wants to help you
have you even noticed how hard all of us have been trying to make you feel better?
even Guardian went around asking our neighbors if they'd seen anything shiny in their trash bins
Ironeye:
aand he even got his ass kicked by Libra!
Revenant:
...
Revenant:
okay, maybe that's true
Ironeye:
do you actually want your locket back or not?
Revenant:
why are you DM me privately?
Ironeye:
Because I'm upset seeing you this upset
Revenant:
yeah, I'm upset because you're here too
Ironeye:
HEY!
Revenant:
Just...
give me time
I didn't mean to bother everyone
I never meant for this to become such a mess
Ironeye:
well it's not entirely your fault either
Ironeye:
but let me ask you again
where was the last place you remember putting your locket?
Revenant:
On my bed
I think
Revenant:
my memories are hazy
It's hard to remember clearly
Ironeye:
Anything coming back to you?
Revenant:
I DON'T KNOW!
Revenant:
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT
MAYBE THE LOCKET REALLY IS GONE NOW
Revenant:
and she's gone too
Ironeye:
who do you mean by “she”?
Revenant:
She's my owner
Ironeye:
Your owner?
Revenant:
Yes
Ironeye:
Oh Okay
Revenant:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, “OKAY”?!
Ironeye:
I mean... yeah
That sounds pretty important to you
I'm not asking for the whole story
I just wanted to know who you meant
Revenant:
Oh...
Revenant:
She's... similar to me
There wasn't much difference between us
Her grandfather was the one who created me
Ironeye:
alright
Revenant:
ONLY “ALRIGHT”?!
Ironeye:
Yeah
Unless you want to tell me the whole story
Revenant:
actually...
No
Revenant:
Sorry
I never meant to keep this from everyone, but I hate remembering the day she died
Revenant:
I wish I could've done something to prevent it
Ironeye:
Sigh alright
Ironeye:
I won't ask about the person you miss
Ironeye:
But just remember you're not alone here
Revenant:
I always feel alone whenever I think about her
Ironeye:
Maybe she wouldn't want to see you like this
that's why, if you let us help you find the locket, you'll at least be able to keep that memory safe
Revenant:
And I don't know if I can keep anything safe
Revenant:
I hate to say this, but whenever I try to change things for the better, everything somehow ends badly
Ironeye:
Everyone makes mistakes
that's just part of life
Revenant:
Her name was Chloe
Chloe Northerncroft
Ironeye:
Chloe Northerncroft?
Revenant:
Yeah
Ironeye:
Wow that's a good name
Revenant:
HUH?
You like it?
Ironeye:
I mean...
It sounds elegant
Kind of noble-ish
Revenant:
She was born into privilege
Her family had servants. many of them
Revenant:
There were three I knew by name
They were all lovely people
Ironeye:
And who were the three again?
Revenant:
Frederick, Helen, and Sebastian
Ironeye:
huh
them?
Ironeye:
no wonder your notebook has those names in it
I thought they were your classmates or something
Revenant:
HUH?! SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU BEEN READING MY NOTEBOOK?!
Revenant:
WERE YOU PEEKING?!
Ironeye:
DON'T BLAME ME!
IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU KEEP LEAVING YOUR THINGS ON THE TABLE!
Revenant:
You're the worst
Ironeye:
and if your locket somehow ended up in your classroom, we'd probably have to ransack the entire room just to find it
Revenant:
...
Revenant:
Wait
Let me think
Revenant:
Maybe I always leave things on my classroom desk
Ironeye:
So...
Your classroom?
Revenant:
Yeah...
Ironeye:
...
Revenant:
...
Ironeye:
...
Revenant:
...
Ironeye:
...
Revenant:
...
Ironeye:
...
Revenant:
...
Ironeye:
...
Revenant:
...
Ironeye:
SO YOU REMEMBER YOUR LOCKET MIGHT BE AT SCHOOL?!
Revenant:
HOLY SHIT
Ironeye:
WHY IS YOUR BRAIN LIKE A GOLDFISH, YOU CREEPY DOLL?!
Revenant:
LET'S GO TO MY SCHOOL!
Revenant:
AND BRING DUCHESS! I NEED HER TO RANSACK MY CLASSROOM!
Ironeye:
BUT IT'S SUNDAY!
Revenant:
WHO CARES?!
EVERY DAMN DAY FEELS THE SAME ANYWAY!
Ironeye:
...
Ironeye:
Damn. I'm in
[A Few Hours Later 20:12]
[Nightfarer Group Chat]
Wylder:
We still haven't found the locket
Iron Menial:
Yes
At this point, we may need to tell her the truth
It's been two days since she lost it
Recluse:
I feel terrible for her
We've tried our best
Recluse:
But telling her that we couldn't find it might make Revenant even more upset
Wylder:
We don't really have a choice
Guardian:
AND LIBRA KICKED MY ASS WHEN I RUMMAGED THROUGH HIS TRASH BIN! 😭😭😭
Wylder:
that's your fault
you didn't ask for permission before walking onto his property
Raider:
I DIDN'T FIND IT EITHER!
Raider:
I CHECKED EVERY CORNER OF EVERY ROOM! THE CEILING! EVEN MYSELF!
Executor:
🤕😖
Wylder:
Translate, please @Iron Menial
Iron Menial:
Executor says he's exhausted and feels sorry for our dolly because he couldn't do more to help
Recluse:
alright, then.
Let me talk to her
Duchess:
WE'RE BACK!
Recluse:
@Duchess? Where have you been?
Ironeye:
Damn...
Ironeye:
Just...
Ironeye:
GOD DAMN
That was WILD
Duchess:
TOO WILD 😭😭😭
Wylder:
What do you mean, “wild”?
Revenant:
I FOUND THE LOCKET
Guardian:
YOU WHAT?! WHERE?!
Raider:
YOU FOUND IT?!
Recluse:
Oh my God?! where?!
Revenant:
Duchess, Ironeye, and I went to the school this afternoon
Yes, we knew it's sunday and the gates were closed
and we had to sneak in through the backyard like a bunch of burglars
Guardian:
AT SCHOOL?! HOW?!
Guardian:
HOW DID YOU FIND IT?!
Duchess:
We got into Revenant's classroom
We searched every desk, every drawer, every corner
Duchess:
AND IT WASN'T EVEN IN THE CLASSROOM!
Iron Menial:
Then where was it?
Revenant:
IN THE FUCKING TOILET TRASH BIN
Guardian:
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!
Raider:
OMG
Executor:
😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
Recluse:
What???
Iron Menial:
Oh my
Revenant:
I CAN'T BELIEVE I FOUND MY LOCKET IN THE TOILET BIN!
I THOUGHT IT WAS COMPLETELY GONE!
Revenant:
But at least it's safe now the portrait is still inside
Duchess:
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?! I LOCKPICKED THE TOILET DOOR
Duchess:
LIKE A PROFESSIONAL THIEF 😎
Ironeye:
That's why Duchess is a thief
Duchess:
THAT'S JUST A TALENT!
Oh yes after we found the locket,I also went to my own classroom to grab my lunch box, I also forget to take them underneath the drawer table :3
Wylder:
No wonder why you always buying 10 lunch box whenever you loss them @Duchess
Ironeye:
I was also keeping watch in the hallway to make sure no security guards came around while we were committing our criminal activities
Revenant:
Then we tried to escape through the classroom window
Revenant:
security guard showed up
Revenant:
I hid underneath the tables
Ironeye inside the student locker
Duchess was hanging from the ceiling like Spiderman or whatever she want
then Duchess lockpicked the window again
Revenant:
and we finally got out
Wylder:
WOW that was actually wild
Raider:
SO THE LOCKET WAS INSIDE THE TOILET TRASH BIN?! THAT'S INSANE!
Recluse:
Oh no.. But how did it end up there?
Recluse:
did you manage to remember anything, dolly? @Revenant
Revenant:
I keep forgetting things
It's my fault
I can't blame or suspect anyone in my class, but like I said, I want my locket first
Revenant:
I never meant to bother or scold any of you
I just hate losing the things I love.
Revenant:
But it's here now
I'll keep it safe this time
Guardian:
I didn't expect that plot twist but, you know...
MY BUTT IS STILL RED FROM LIBRA. 😭
Duchess:
PFFT—
Revenant:
I hate to admit it... but you all really did try your best to help me
I guess...
Revenant:
Thank you
Iron Menial:
Well then, since the locket has finally been found, we're all relieved that it's still safe
Revenant:
uuugghhh Thanks, then
Recluse:
I'm so glad you finally found it
We were actually about to tell you that we couldn't find it
Revenant:
that's okay, Mom
Revenant:
It wasn't anyone's fault
I should've thought more carefully
Raider:
SO ARE WE CELEBRATING THE GREATLY RECOVERED LOCKET?!
Guardian:
LET'S CELEBRATE!
Duchess:
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
Wylder:
Cased close then
Ironeye:
Crazy but fun, I guess
Revenant:
btw, I still blaming you over peeking my notebook @Ironeye
So fuck off, idiot
Ironeye:
WHAT?!
