thevoidsdarkhorse | Heart Game (Continued)

CW: i would

TG: alright
TG: problems
TG: to continue with the water metaphors cuz ur a water nerd
TG: imagine a river is polluted
TG: which is bad cuz it means things die in the water n its unsafe
TG: plus hella ugly
TG: so u need to do things to clean out the water
TG: dunno what u actually do for that but u do stuff
TG: get the junk out
TG: clean the water
TG: might have some bits left but those bits arent harmful anymore
TG: thats a problem u fix wit water
TG: like how u have to actually fix some problems
TG: but
TG: now imagine a tsunami
TG: its water coming in
TG: mowing shit down
TG: n its basically unstoppable
TG: there is no way to stop that water from comin in n doin its thing
TG: what you CAN do
TG: is understand it
TG: understand what tsunamis will do
TG: accept it will be a thing
TG: n just be prepared to deal with the fallout whenever it might happen
TG: cuz sometimes thats the thing with problems
TG: its not bout fixing the problem
TG: its bout understanding it
TG: cuz u cant change it
TG: just acknowledge it n do stuff that doesnt make it worse
TG: n sometimes
TG: thats all u need with ppl
TG: sometimes its never bout fixing the problem
TG: but understanding it
TG: trying to understand it
TG: the tsunami still exists
TG: but it doesnt seem like its gonna wreck everything anymore
TG: n if it does
TG: there will be ppl to help with the clean up
TG: that helps
TG: that helps a lot
TG: esp with someone like me
TG: cuz theres so few ppl in this world who can understand
TG: that i let understand
TG: n it means the world 2 me when ppl want to try anyway

CW: even when it's someone like me
CW: that you only met briefly before this
CW: seeing all these things

TG: admittedly
TG: i try not to shovel on the heavy shit on ppl i just met
TG: but eh
TG: desperate times desperate measures
TG: i dun think it was the wrong choice tho
TG: ur still tryin to understand for my sake arent you?
TG: that seems like a good nuff reason to keep trustin u
TG: youll be good 4 me i think
TG: hopefully i can return the favor

CW: you've already helped me a lot too
CW: in ways i can't explain
CW: in ways i didn't want but needed
CW: you answered things i needed
CW: even if it wasn't about you
CW: it might take me a while to recover from this
CW: but i don't regret it
CW: i still want to help
CW: i want to get to know you
CW: outside of here

TG: im glad 2 hear that
TG: take all the time u need to recover
TG: no need to rush it
TG: u have time
TG: n u have ppl who care bout you
TG: n will help u
TG: but im sure youll get there
TG: ur a pretty strong guy
TG: id like that
TG: getting to kno u

CW: i don't feel strong
CW: right now
CW: but
CW: i
CW: thank you

TG: no i imagine u dont
TG: most wouldnt
TG: ur welcome
TG: n ill be here til youre ready to move on
TG: dun worry
TG: time gets weird in the void anyway

CW: what do you mean by weird

TG: time n space dun matter
TG: could take fifty years to cross two feet
TG: or cross a thousand miles in ten seconds
TG: so like
TG: u could have a while
TG: n not get immediately ganked out of heart

CW: ...ah
CW: how did you leave the void
CW: after this
CW: what brought you back

TG: back home?
TG: im not sure i did
TG: far as i can figure is something probs happened to john
TG: cuz so much shenanigans that will just be confusing to get into
TG: but with how things played out he probably didnt make it long
TG: or who knows
TG: mb reapers swept in after
TG: but w/e it was
TG: wasnt comin from me
TG: here?
TG:
TG: vetoed pointed out a few things
TG: a few
TG: very longshots
TG: that have been buyin time
TG: but not nuff to last long term
TG: on its own anyway
TG: everything here should help
TG: but i was hurtin
TG: member life roxy?
TG: thats bout norm roxy behavior
TG: all the high energy cheer
TG: so when we met i was supes down

CW: sounds like it would be
CW: maybe we can talk about it
CW: sometime
CW: it's good that life has gotten help
CW: and is less fragile
CW: even if we can't fix it all here
CW: there's time outside
CW: so
CW: how much have people been able to help
CW: here in rage
CW: do you know

TG: itd do me some good
TG: should be a lil less of a pain bout it
TG: always kind of am but u got far nuff to avoid the worse
TG: sometimes its good to get help naturally
TG: shes good nuff to be fixed like that
TG: which is the most important thing
TG: more stuff in hope will help to
TG: sorta
TG: since were connected
TG: ppl have made good progress
TG: dealing with some old issues that have been festing
TG: and no longer a stones throw away from just walking into the void n never comin back

CW: ...good
CW: i hope i didn't make it worse
CW: when talking to her earlier
CW: after that memory
CW: i wanted to talk to her more
CW: but then this happened

TG: u didnt
TG: she
TG: needed a break
TG: of some kind
TG: she was turning norm coping mechanisms
TG: into outright lies
TG: which isnt something we want to do?
TG: misdirection and ommission is our jam
TG: but outright lies r rare
TG: heart is after hope
TG: she can send ya anywhere u want
TG: she wouldnt mind if u visited

Edited 2015-01-27 10:56 (UTC)

CW: i'll visit you too
CW: before i leave
CW: you helped me
CW: a lot
CW: you and knight light
CW: i might have kept drifting here
CW: but i want to continue on now

TG: ah
TG: well
TG: if u wanna sure
TG: heart can get here to
TG: just dun touch anythin
TG: still danger items
TG: all right
TG: good luck
TG: just take a step forward
TG: n youll be out in the neighborhood again

CW: i'll be careful
CW: see you soon

[ with that, he sobers up his feelings, taking in a deep breath before stepping forward as instructed ]

TG: see you

[And suddenly you're back out on the streets again.]

[You also have twelve foot tall robot firing a rocket at you.]

[ THAT, he isn't prepared for, but he tries to snap back from that pretty fast, reminding himself destroying the building before, trying to do the same thing to this rocket and robot, but he's still spooked and might not have his full focus ]

[Got the rocket and the robot is now missing one arm.]

[It's pursuing!]

[ right. flying. flying is a thing he can do until he can catch himself. for all the shit he's seen in her heart already, he is still a newbie to all this. but he'll focus harder, narrowing those thoughts on taking out the rest of it. hopefully ]

[That you can. At least flying isn't hard, almost instinctive.]

[Takes a few tries until BOOM.]

[Down the robot goes.]

[Roll a ten sider.]

[ at least three is higher than one and two, right? ]
