Luna enters the forest and starts walking in a random direction and this time really hopes it's not the crime scene again.
After a bit, she comes across a certain large moth woman laying in a clearing with some wildflowers. Her eyes are closed. Is she asleep?
"...wait, is that...?" Luna goes closer to the large moth that looks almost familiar.
The moth's eyes open and she looks over at Luna. "Oh!! Hi Luna!!" She sits up.
"Harmonia!" She would recognize that voice from anywhere.
Harmonia is about 7 feet tall (though she's sitting right now) wearing a black anime t-shirt and basketball shorts. Where her skin would be is black carapace and there's red fluff on her lower arms and calves, similar to leg warmers. She also has black fluff on her torso poking out the collar of her shirt and the bottom of her shorts. Her face has 4 glowing red eyes and a mostly humanish mouth with sharp red teeth and black mandibles on the top lip. Her "hair", which is really just very long fluff, is red at the bang area and black overall. She also has fluffy moth antennae atop her head.
"Hi!!" It's been a while. How are you??"
"You look… amazing Harmonia. Glad you were able to revive." Luna says.
Harmonia grins and nods. "Thank you!! Me too. Going to the fuckin soul mound in layer 9 wasn't, particularly on the to-do list. Anything interesting going on at the house?"
"Honestly, it's been rather silent Harmonia. Though," Luna goes silent for a moment. "Do you remember Ivy? We had some issues with her last weekend."
Harmonia nods. "What happened? I saw that she's a demon now."
"Well, there was a..." Luna pauses. "Party for Myla. You know, Ivy's sister. Well." Another pause. "It turned into a murder. Ivy drugged all of us and influenced-" another break with a couple of tears dripping down her face. "-me to commit her murder." Luna takes a deep breath. "A murder designed to be unsolvable. But then I proved a few contradictions at the scene that I couldn't have caused, so what actually happened is literally anyone's guess." She sighs.
Harmonia blinks. "What the fuck. I..." Her face falls and she takes a moment. "I suddenly don't feel bad about accidentally waterboarding her holy shit???"
"You're telling me. I forced her to realize that having a tv head would cause one fucking horrible withdrawal, but knowing the bitch, she found a way to hot box herself." Luna grumbles. "So that's where I am right now. I have blood on my paws and I can't even prove it." Luna sighs and falls to her knees in defeat. "That's honestly... something that's been eating at me all week."
"Yeah, she did. That's why I waterboarded her. I was trying to give her water." Harmonia looks over to Luna. "To be honest? Even if you killed her, does it really matter? You weren't yourself and she made you do it. Plus she's basically back now so." Harmonia shrugs. "I understand your stress but I wouldn't feel guilty about it. She's a fucking bitch for making you do that. Especially when she knows what it's like to be forced to commit a murder she didn't want to commit. My point is, don't let it weigh you down. You're strong and capable and Ivy’s just one mentally ill bitch who tried using you to off herself. But you're better than that. Better than her. You're Luna fucking Grey man." Harmonia says, gently placing her hand on Lunas shoulder. "It'll be okay."
Luna cannot help but tear up, but after a minute or so, she looks as focused as ever with a smug grin. "You're damn right I'm better than her. She's a goddamn hypocrite, a coward. I'm Luna Grey, Archivist of Worlds, and I'm just fine."
But then maybe a minute later, Luna’s expression changes to that of a smug grin. "Thanks, Harmonia, you really do know how to cheer someone up. Like I'll be honest, the past few days have been just focused on trying to remember what I can't remember and getting really bad headaches. I'm done trying to do that." She exhales. "In other news, we've had a lot more nonferal things happening locally. Cole stole Nicky's cult from her. And we've had soul issues with Boogeyman."
Harmonia nods, smiling at Luna. "I'm glad I could help. Hmm, that seems... interesting? So Cole has a cult?" She tilts her head a bit, focusing on Luna.
"Well, remember Drake? She altered herself into Nicole. And to dodge jackskellington.exe, we've named her Nicky for short. Cole was able to manipulate Nicky into relinquishing her cult to him, and I'm worried about it." Luna explains.
Harmonia nods. "Yeah, that... doesn't sound good. I mean, feeding Coles less.. favorable impulses isn't really... great." She sighs. "But I doubt he would disband the cult willingly."
"I see you're on the same page as myself and Spider. You're correct. Cole originally planned to disband the cult with noble intentions, to release all of Drake's nemuru back to their home worlds and veils. But then Andrew wanted power and decided to execute all those who would resist the takeover with the assumed intention of taking the cult over."
"Hm..." Harmonia takes a moment to think. "So if Cole tries to release them, Andrew will take over?"
"That part I'm not sure about. That side of things has been kind of silent for the past couple of days, as Cole's been more focused on his relationship with Isaac."
"Ah. Can you ask him? I'm honestly somewhat concerned that he's using Andrew as a way to keep the cult. In the sense that he's not trying everything he can to free them because he secretly wants it and Andrew is fueling that by threats."
Luna nods. "I will when I get a chance. I don't wanna ask him that while he's with Isaac, ya know?"
Harmonia nods. "Yeah, I get what you mean. If you need my help with anything you can always text me. Or to just keep me up to date on things. If you want," She says, smiling a bit.
"Thank you, I'd be happy to. Would you be okay with the Kiss chat?"
"Yeah definitely! Whatever's easiest." Harmonia smiles, bouncing on her heels a bit. "Anything else you wanna talk about? Feel free to vent if you want, I'm open to anything."
"Not really sure. How's the R053 project coming along? I saw you guys got Nammu's blood recently." Luna says.
"Good I think! Roxy and Claire know what they're doing I think? I don't really get the logistics of the whole thing. I'm just here to be pretty." She jokes.
"You're definitely excelling in that then." Luna giggles lightheartedly
Harmonia blushes. "T-thank you!! You too-"
"Ahaha. Thank you, Harmonia. It really is nice to see ya again." She smiles and blushes. "I should probably head back. Before the lovebirds burn the place down."
"Alright!! Nice to see you too, Take care, Luna." She smiles.
"Take care, Harmonia!" She waves and then leaves.
