Powers nerfed & gained

Self-healing: Nerfed on arrival from near-instant to delayed by a few minutes. Think 5-10.

Superhuman strength: Nerfed on arrival. Still super strong, but not to the same extent.

Dragon Blessing - Strength: Makes up for original nerf. Plus dual sets of horns, one pair curved down to frame his face, one pair curved back and up. Sharp and harshly angled, like his sunburst tattoos.

Dragon Blessing - Balance: Thick, alligator-like tail.

Deaths & Resurrection prices

Death - August 2024: Killed by a Corrupted Vash.
Price: Marksmanship skill. Can no longer aim a gun worth a damn.

Other permanent changes

Memory Loss - February 2024: In Razlo's heartspace, his memory of Chapel defending him to the other Masters was destroyed. He still recalls having been fiercely loyal to Chapel, but not why.

Scarring - March 2024: Scars in an enormous jaw pattern spanning from his thighs to upper arm, with teeth marks along both his chest and back.

Temporary changes

Hydra form - May 2025: from Event/TDM 24. A bunch of fungi made LR into some fun guys.

CODE

weasel's note: livio's handwriting is extremely neat and uncannily consistent. every letter is always the same exact size and shape. as if simply writing perfectly in times new roman was a humanly possible thing.

livio can commonly be found where he lives at vash's house or looking after the school.

I'll find somewhere. Might ask Heimr for a tent or something. Or see if anyone has a free space.

[Look at him, being mature!]

Once we're back, I'll crash at the inn. It's too much trouble to ask the both of you to uproot. 'sides, Angelina has her own room now and everything!

[livlaughlove]

[oh, it is a pleasant surprise that vash is being mature about --]

What.

[livio stares hard at the top of vash's head as if vash can see him too.]

Vash. It's your house.

[oleaeuropaea]

Not really.

[But before Livio can jump down his throat.]

It's our house. All three of us. Four, really. I'm not going to ask the rest of you to upend everything. Angelina's grown up there, and she's already going to be upset enough about one of her people right now.

[He leans back, so Livio can see his face.]

This isn't me self-punishing. I'm just trying to be practical.

[livlaughlove]

[... it's almost funny, that the thing that most challenges his ability to remain numb, is... how a dog might feel about all of this. if it weren't for angelina, livio would likely find somewhere else to be, as well. it feels wrong to default to nick's side if it means vash will be alone in the meantime.]

She's adaptable. Took to this place easy enough.

[...]

I've got enough done at the school that I could set up some temporary rooms for all of us. You two could have space, but she could still see you both.

[oleaeuropaea]

Liv, please...

[Vash has already wept his damn heart out. Yet somehow, the idea of everyone uprooting for him is what threatens to make new tears form.]

I'm asking, with all my heart. Please just stay there. I'll feel better if I know you guys are home.

[livlaughlove]

[part of him wants to beg vash in turn, to consider what he and nick might want, but... fine. it isn't the first time today he's had to push his own feelings aside to soothe vash's.]

Alright.

[oleaeuropaea]

[If he only knew how much he'd forced other people to swallow his emotions... well, he probaly would stop sharing so maybe this is the best for now. Temporarily.]

Thanks.

[He starts to draw back into his own space. His hands fall into his lap.]

I... don't really know what else to say now.

[livlaughlove]

[livio's goal isn't to hurt vash, either, so it really is for the best.]

Do you want me to go?

[oleaeuropaea]

Honestly I... don't really know what I want right now.

[His laugh is sad.]

That's not true. I want to run away. Don't... want to have to sit with everything that's happened. But that won't help anyone, right?

[livlaughlove]

[it sure won't, vash.]

I would worry about you. So would Nick.

[but still...]

I'll stay here until you'd rather I go, then.

[oleaeuropaea]

I'm not going anywhere. I promise.

[But he's not saying no to company.]
