Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[It's very much like the void you feel. Just works from a different starting point.]

[She nods and looks up.]

Sakura....says you're all here to help me. [Looks uncertain, unsure, but hopeful.]

Re: RAGE

[bloodbiter]

...I'm here for you. There are others who are here for you, too. We're your friends. It doesn't have to be this way.

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Nods.] I hope so.

You can stay if you want. Though I can send you to Heart.

Re: HOPE

[carptricks]

That's exactly why we're here.

[glancing around, though he knows he won't actually see Sakura because of weird heart things]

Has he helped you out already?

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....

I.....d....did?

Re: victoriousShark

[forthemackerel]

CW: what part

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

There will always be people who wish they could do something, even when they know they can't.

...I have lost people too.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

They're all dead. I'm from a universe where everything was dead before the Reapers even shoed up.

Why not just let it be?

Re: RAGE

[unguilded]

I'd say it's for the same reason you want to help them. Because they like you, they want to be your friend, and some see parts of you in them, too.

But ... sometimes that can be scary to face. When you realize how similar you are to someone you want to help, but it's something that you're scared to face, to accept or embrace. And then you realize that contradiction in yourself, and pull away. They might ask themselves that, too, 'why does somebody want to help me specifically'? And then that turns into an opposing force, where you want to help somebody that you know all too well, but would back away if the tables were turned.

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[nodding]

You...she....I wouldn't have learned how to be happy, without that help.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[It is mildly injured, but still mobile.]

[Also, strangely, even though it doesn't speak, it's very easy to take that flailing and understand what it means.]

"We must run! Everything is coming down!"

Re: RAGE

[bloodbiter]

Because you are my friend. I'd never do something like that to a friend.

Re: HOPE

[showyouthesight]

Heart? Does that part need encouragement too?

Re: RAGE

[fuhrinkaed]

DW: I'm a terrible ♦, Roxy.
DW: But it's a ♦ you need, right?
DW: Because otherwise I'm going to have to get creative and thaaat is. Bad.

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Actually you might because he's a Blood player, so maybe.]

[She nods.] He helped me made a new base block. [She points to the red one.]

I need a bigger base, to make sure it's stable.

Re: RAGE

[forthemackerel]

Run to where?

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Shakes head.] Heart is...the core. Sorta. Everything that we could be, if things didn't get in the way.

But you can get anywhere from her. And you can find the True Heart.

Re: victoriousShark

[showyouthesight]

VS: that you want to help
VS: just focus on that
VS: use that if things get
VS: too much

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She smiles, gentle, genuine, eyes whining a bit with tears because it's...a relief and so good to HEAR.]

Is it all right if I hug you? Dunno why you're fine, but kinda wanna take advantage of it, y'know?

Re: victoriousShark

[forthemackerel]

CW: i also have something else that might help
CW: if i need it

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Even when they're suffering?

You saw it, didn't you?

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Tilts her head. How?]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She frowns.] Is it really that scary? To have someone understand? I mean, yeah, it's scary to face, but if there's someone who understands...

Always seemed less scary then.
