thinking about that quote that's like "oh, the things we invent when we are scared and want to be rescued" wrt the kiriona & phyrra & nona thing; kiriona wants so badly for someone to save her, so she lashes out at phyrra and nona when they're not the people she wanted to show up

I think. It might be worse. Because yes, she wanted Harrow to save her from her tower, and she HATES that she got Nona instead, but also. She's been wanting so badly for someone to save her for such a long time and

Pyrrha kind of is who she wanted to show up. She's just twenty years too late.

#thanks btw the quote is from Richard Siken's I Had A Dream About You #and I'm having a heart attack about it #it starts off 'All the cows were falling out of the sky and landing in the mud.' and it does NOT get less nona the Ninth from there #i. am gonna process this poem and then make a post about it but it will be a different post #bc the rest of the poem isn't really all that Gideon amd Pyrrha #this line tho? on point #thank you #the locked tomb #gideon nav #kiriona gaia #nona the ninth #ntn spoilers #pyrrha dve #op

Nerevar: Well, Voryn, I made it- despite your directions.

Dagoth Ur: Welcome, Moon-and-Star, to this place where destiny is made! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon.

Nerevar: Meh.

Dagoth Ur: Oh, ye gods! My stew is ruined! But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Ohoho, delightfully devilish, Voryn!

Nerevar: Ah- Hmm.

Chorus: Dagoth Ur with his crazy explanations / The Hortator is gonna need his medication / When he hears Dagoth's lame exaggerations / There'll be trouble on Red Mountain tonight!

Nerevar: VOOORYYYNNN!

Dagoth Ur: D’ah, Moon-and-Star! I was just- uh, just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise! Care to join me?

Nerevar: Why is there smoke coming out of your mountain, Voryn?

Dagoth Ur: Uh- Oh. That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmm. Steamed clams.

Dagoth Ur: Whew.

[transition jingle]

Dagoth Ur: Hortator, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering ash yams.

Nerevar: I thought we were having steamed clams.

Dagoth Ur: D'oh, no. I said steamed yams. That's what I call ash yams.

Nerevar: You call ash yams "steamed yams?"

Dagoth Ur: Yes. It's, uh, a regional dialect.

Nerevar: Uh-huh. What region?

Dagoth Ur: Uh, Vvardenfell.

Nerevar: Really. Well, I'm from Balmora, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed yams."

Dagoth Ur: Oh, not in Balmora, no; it's an Ald'ruhn expression.

Nerevar: I see. ... You know, these ash yams are quite similar to the ones they have at Kwama Burger.

Dagoth Ur: [chuckles] Oh, no. Patented Dagoth yams. Old Sixth House recipe.

Nerevar: For steamed yams.

Dagoth Ur: Yes.

Nerevar: Yes. And you call them steamed yams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled.

Dagoth Ur: Ye- You know, the- One thing I should- ... Excuse me for one second.

Nerevar: Of course.

Dagoth Ur: [loud yawn] Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all; I'm pooped.

Nerevar: Yes, I should be- BY AZURA! What is happening in there?!

Dagoth Ur: Aurora borealis.

Nerevar: Uh- Aurora borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of Tamriel, localized entirely within your mountain?

Dagoth Ur: Yes.

Nerevar: ... May I see it?

Dagoth Ur: No.

Sleepers: Voryn! The mountain's on fire!

Dagoth Ur: No, companions. It's just the northern lights.

Nerevar: Well, Voryn, you are an odd fellow, but I must say- you steam a good yam.

A Builder, a Researcher, and a Rooftop, Ch. 23: Statistical Anomaly

prev | next | index

“Hey, you never know.” The builder gently took Qi’s hand and laced their fingers together. “3.14%, remember?” Qi turned towards them with widened eyes. “You…remembered that?”

Also on AO3

A/N: Hey, remember Statistical Anomaly? The oneshot that was the springboard for this fic that I wrote almost a year(!!) ago? I always intended for that to be a part of this fic, but before, I figured I would just link to it via A/N in between the chapters that I thought it would take place in. That was before this fic's outline tripled in size, though. So for the sake of flow and continuity, I decided to touch it up a little bit and make it its own chapter in here! Most of it is ripped straight from the original oneshot, so there's not a whole lot you're missing if you've already read it. I've just made some minor edits to improve the dialogue and make it fit in as a chapter as opposed to a standalone oneshot. Enjoy (again)!

------------

"My parents were quite surprised to find out about our relationship. However, when I was ten, I calculated that the probability of me finding love was roughly three point one four percent. They wouldn't have been so surprised if they had simply recalled the conversation in which I relayed that statistic."

------------

The Milky Way stretched its way in a magnificent arc across the sky, highlighting the already brilliant sea of stars with a luminous cloud. The silence of night was only broken by the cool desert breeze, and the subtle whirring of the research center’s machinery.

The builder was in a trance. If it weren’t for the grounding sensation of the plush blankets under their back, and the warmth of Qi at their side, they felt as if they could just fall upwards into that beautiful cosmic expanse.

A rather bright shooting star suddenly shot across their vision. The builder gasped, mind frantically stumbling to make a wish. Beside them, Qi tensed. It was only after a solid five seconds after it disappeared from view that he relaxed with a sigh of…relief? Disappointment?

“No impact,” he said, before the builder could ask him for his wish. He probably would’ve insisted that he didn’t make one, anyway.

“...Is that a good thing?” the builder asked.

“I was wondering if that was an Old World satellite or space debris that fell out of orbit.”

“I think it’d look more like a giant fireball if it was. Probably would fall into the ocean anyways.”

Qi groaned. “What a waste.”

“Hey, if that thing fell onto Sandrock, it’d be me cleaning up the mess.”

“That’s ideal! You would be the first one to hand me any relics you find inside.”

The builder snorted. “Is that why we’re dating?”

“I suppose it is a benefit. Companionship, positive emotions, a wellspring of inspiration and ideas, and exclusive access to new relics before the Civil Corps and the Church get their grubby fingers on them first.”

“Glad to see you know everything you want out of a partner,” the builder laughed. Qi joined in, his quiet chuckling rumbling against their side. “Seriously though, could something like that actually happen?”

Qi hummed in thought. “I’m not sure. Overall, odds are astronomically low, but with the recent satellite crash in Portia, that might change ever so slightly. Might be wishful thinking on my part though.”

“Hey, you never know.” The builder gently took Qi’s hand and laced their fingers together. “3.14%, remember?”

Qi turned towards them with widened eyes. “You…remembered that?”

“Yeah. Ever since you told me that, I always wondered how exactly you got that number. Seems kinda hard to calculate.”

“Indeed it was. I decided to challenge myself and attempt to calculate what so many thought was utterly unquantifiable.”

“At age 10, too.”

“Age 10 is an important stage of childhood development.”

The builder snorted. “Don’t think I was crunching numbers nonstop when I was 10…”

“It was more than just math. It was a full research undertaking.”

“Oh?” The builder turned on their side to face Qi. “Where’d you start?”

Qi brought a hand to his chin. “Hmm… Well, let’s see…” The builder felt a tiny smile lift the corner of their mouth, seeing him prep for another one of his rambly and incredibly thorough explanations.

“Well, for my calculations, my primary consideration was people,” he began, speaking as if summarizing his latest findings to a fellow researcher. “Both myself and the people around me. I had always wanted to be a researcher, and I preferred to work either alone or only with a close friend. Any communication with others besides my family could be done through letters or telegrams. So that already made my chances low. Intuitively, the fewer people I interact with, the lower my chances of forming any sort of connection with one. Pairing that with my rather raw personality, the chances of meeting anyone at all who would be romantically interested are also incredibly low.”

“But not zero,” the builder chimed, nudging Qi’s side with a grin.

“No, not zero,” Qi echoed, breathing a quiet, wistful sigh. “In any case, I took those factors into consideration, combined it with several other variables like Alliance population densities and general reports on romantic compatibility in couples, and found that my chances at finding love were around 3.14%. Accounting for error, of course.”

Accounting for error…so that could’ve been an overestimate. “...Was it…difficult to see the result?”

Qi hesitated. “At the time, it seemed rather sad. But when I considered how rare love seemed to be from personal accounts and stories, it started to make sense. I wasn’t particularly bothered in the long-term. I was still interested in research first and foremost.”

Silence fell over the two of them again.

Were you? the builder thought. They kept their eyes on Qi, trying in vain to read his expression. Qi just kept staring calmly at the stars above.

Qi was the first to break the silence with a quiet hum, knocking the builder out of their thoughts. “It’s been a long time since I ever considered that calculation. It’s in much need of a revision.”

“Really? What changes?”

“Different environments, for one. Sandrock is completely different to Vega 5 in every aspect. A smaller community in crisis and differences in culture make one more obligated to personally interact with others.”

“Especially if someone in said community keeps pestering you just to give you a power stone every other day,” the builder snorted.

“Of course,” said Qi, rolling his eyes. “In the middle of deriving difficult proofs, no less.”

The builder just laughed, seeing the faint sparkle of amusement in his eyes.

“Or trying to finish a diagram due in under 12 hours, or working with dangerous chemicals, or performing statistical analysis with a huge dataset…” Qi counted off on his fingers. “Truly bothersome.”

“Wow. What a monster,” the builder drawled. “Who could do such a thing?”

“Someone truly peculiar, for sure.” Qi couldn’t hide the tiny upward turn of his lips.

“Heh. So how much does that change the odds?”

“It increases them by a somewhat significant amount. I never anticipated leaving Vega 5 when I was younger, so I couldn’t have foreseen something like that. But I think it’s irrelevant regardless.”

“Irrelevant how?”

“There’s a second new factor that I couldn’t have seen coming even when I moved to Sandrock. It single-handedly managed to overpower almost every other factor. I’d even call it anomalous; it was completely unprecedented.”

“An anomaly, huh?”

“Yes. An anomaly no one could have foreseen.” Qi turned on his side to meet the builder’s eyes. “It suddenly arrived one summer’s day. Soon enough, it had managed to tangle itself into everything. The city’s well-being, the lives of everyone here…and even my own feelings.”

The builder flushed. “A-aw come on. Doesn’t sound like an anomaly to me.”

“Ah, but it was. Is. Sandrock was clearly on a decline on all fronts. Ecologically. Economically. And yet, when the anomaly appeared, everything seemed to start turning around. Slowly, but noticeably. Even now, change is happening.”

They smirked. “Well. Aren’t you the one who keeps saying ‘correlation doesn’t mean causation?’”

“Very good. But correlation may imply causation,” he corrected. “Many times it doesn’t, but if there is a logical reason for the correlation, a causation may be inferred.

“With the anomaly came restoration of town infrastructure, despite numerous bandit attacks, a dramatic increase in production speed and quality from the commerce guild, and even minor reversal of desertification. This anomaly was at the center of it all, an uncontrollable and unpredictable variable in everything. I think it’s fair to say it’s a logical causation, wouldn’t you?”

“Okay, okay. But what’s it got to do with you?”

“Ah. E-erm. Well. Through…extensive direct interaction with the anomaly, it was pretty clear to see the effects it had on me.” Qi suddenly seemed to have trouble keeping his eyes on the builder’s.

“Oh?” their lips curled into a coy smile. “Care to fill me in on your methodology?”

Even in the dark, they could see Qi’s face reddening. “I–uh…wasn’t expecting to be writing a new research paper right now. Much less in a…spoken-word format.”

“You’re stalling…” the builder replied in a sing-songy voice. “Methods?”

“Er…interactions were basic to start with. A small conversation here or there. Several new machine diagrams drawn. Occasionally it produced a power stone or data disk right as my supply was running dry. Or a fresh cup of tea. Somehow it never seemed to run out of goodwill.”

“And then I guess it started snowballing from there.”

“Indeed. It started appearing outside my working hours, when I would be observing the stars. And then it just…kept returning. Over and over. Just to stargaze. And also to interact with me, for whatever reason.” The builder snorted. “Whether it was in daytime or nighttime hours, it would appear. You’d think I’d get annoyed at its constant presence, but I started welcoming it. Anticipating it. Enjoying it, even.”

“And why is that?” The cheeky grin hadn’t left the builder’s lips.

“W-well, my research started advancing at an improbable rate when the anomaly started regularly appearing. Lots of data disks and relics… And then—” Qi gestured up at the massive telescope beside them. “—it managed to produce an entire telescope…something that any researcher at Vega 5 could only dream of using, let alone owning.”

“And…?”

The flush on Qi’s face was darkening. “A-and…it…um. It also manifested one of my greatest dream designs into a physical reality—”

“From something very obscure…” the builder grinned.

“S-something you never would’ve heard of,” Qi snorted.

“Uh huh. Is that all? Noooo other reason?”

Qi stammered some more, trying to fit the right words together. “I-in general… I found myself e-enjoying the anomaly’s presence. Proximity to it increased positive emotions by…erm…200%, and lowered stress by…40…no, 50%.”

The builder’s smile softened. “I see.”

“Furthermore, it seemed to trigger a positive feedback loop in me, where interaction led to desire for more interaction, which led to more interaction, and so on. Truly…” Qi took a breath. “...an utterly fascinating phenomenon.” His voice trailed off into a whisper.

The builder felt their cheeks heating again. “And how did that loop get started exactly?”

“Not by conscious choice. It just so happened that the anomaly’s work tied firmly into my work. Encountering it was inevitable.”

“So…how does that factor into your calculations?”

“Right. When we factor in this anomaly, my old calculations become totally obsolete. Instead of 3.14%, the probability of me finding love…” Qi’s voice lowered even more, barely a breath on the breeze.

“...is 100%.”

The builder was at a loss for words. They could only stare back at him, eyes glittering like the stars above. Qi’s face softened into that rare, private smile reserved just for them: small but full of warmth. It made their entire body glow with an invisible, but brilliant light.

Qi closed his eyes. “If the parallel universe theory is to be believed, there are many universes where you never come to Sandrock. There are many universes where I never come to Sandrock. But in every one that we do come here, and we meet…I will always fall for you.” He closed the distance between them, gently bringing his forehead to theirs. “The data doesn’t lie.”

His breath tickled their lips, making it achingly difficult to resist his touch. They slowly brought their hand up to his chin, tilting his head toward them with a feather-light brush. They moved in tandem, bringing their lips together into a gentle kiss.

Qi sucked in a gasp through his nose, caught unaware. And then he relaxed, letting it out as a blissful sigh. He draped his arm around their shoulders, pulling them in as close as he could. The builder’s free hand moved of its own accord, weaving through Qi’s unruly hair. They felt their nose nudge his glasses out of place, but that hardly mattered.

The builder let themself melt into Qi’s warmth. The glow inside of them burned brighter and brighter. They no longer had to imagine themself falling up into the endless sky. They were there already, a brand-new star floating on the celestial sea.

They pulled away to breathe, and suddenly they were back on Earth. The remnants of Qi’s touch tingled beneath their skin, the glow fading but never vanishing. Qi still gave them the same tranquil smile, his face ruddied all the way to his ears. The builder returned it with an adoring gaze of their own.

“I love you,” they whispered.

“And I, you,” he whispered back.

None in Sandrock would ever hear them, but the gentle wind carried the words from their lips, lifting them up, up, and away for the stars alone to listen.

------------

A/N: I look back at the A/N for Statistical Anomaly and I laugh a little. "I've got a couple more Qi ideas that I might take a crack at in the near future." Oh past me, you don't even know what's coming.

One thing hasn't changed though: Qi is still a dingus, and I still love him dearly.
