thevoidsdarkhorse | Heart Game (Continued)

[ He tries to entwine his fingers with hers, resting his head against hers and still struggling to keep his voice strong, not necessarily confident but full of conviction. He tries to call to all the bonds around him, give them just a bit more strength. ]

There's new rules, Roxy. But if you give up believing now... you'll never know. And I believe you can save them. This part of you wouldn't be here right now if there wasn't just a tiny bit of that belief left. I'm here to give you whatever you need to keep that part thriving. Not just existing.

Remember, there's more of us now, Roxy. Can't you feel them? All of the people who will stand with you and support you when you try again. We'll make it different. Together.

[They're flickering, flashing and....and are the fireflies being attracted to them? Huh.]

Together...?

[ Fireflies... Someone would find this stupidly romantic in less fucked up circumstances. But it does help him keep going and it gives him something else to reach out to with his power. He gives a firm nod. ]

Yeah. Me. Everyone else here. We're all ready to go the distance for you. I mean, this place is seriously fucked up. But we haven't given up on you. So you can't either.

But...but why...I...I don't...

[There is...life there. In fact, the fireflies might even feel kind of familiar from your thing in the water.]

[Never underestimate the power of fireflies.]

How many.... [She looks towards where the ladder was.] Why?

[ Oh good. Yes, come hang with us, pretty fireflies. ]

I probably haven't seen everyone. But I've seen a lot of names. I know for sure you've got Hydra, Technic, Lace, Sol, Veto, Wren and Har—Cascade. And I know there's at least three others I didn't recognize.

We're all here to help you because we're worried about you. We care about you, Roxy. We want to see you realize your dream.

[wjaioewjaeiow]

[Congrats, Sakura, this may be the one time you see Roxy blush because she looks SUPER FLOORED and red by this.]

W-what, but....that-why so many names?!

I...all of you want....y'all are willing to...

[ That's. That's actually adorable and he laughs a little at that. Probably his first time this whole heart. ]

I told you there's a lot of us now. And definitely! Every one of us is willing to help. With whatever. That's what Kyriakos is all about. That's what your friendships are about. Even if you have to do a lot, Roxy, we're going to do what we can too.

[Probably.]

But...but it's....

It could be dangerous. It could get you killed. There's a good chance that the only way to FIX it is to break a whole bunch of rules of existence itself!

I can take dangerous for my friends. And as for breaking the laws of physics, well, at least we'll get to see some wild sights out of it.

Before I came here, I never imagined I'd see anything like this. And even if a lot of it has been kind of terrifying, it's also been totally worth it. I want to see the rest this experience, this friendship has to offer.

I'm with you, Roxy.

[Oh my god.]

[OH MY GOD.]

[HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE THAT LEVEL OF FRIENDSHIP.]

I-that's-you're absolutely fuckin' NUTS.

[The fireflies gather around one of the green cubes, and it's color changes to a vibrant red to match Sakura's eyes. It's also got the same strong blood bond as the Tiamat-with-black box.]

[ I want to touch a firefly... ]

post-icon: that boy is a monster

Oi, I just have a way of just going for what I want. No matter what. Supporting you and your dream is now part of that.

[They are pretty fuckers.]

I...that's....

[Oh, now there's tears in her eyes. BECAUSE GUESS WHO ELSE IS AN EMOTIONAL LOSER: Spoilers, it's this girl.]

[And now you're getting hugged.]

Gog, you're....suh a NERD, big ol' crazy nerd.

[ He is kind of floored at the reaction at first but he recovers decently enough to hug back. And dammit now he's crying again too. ]

Yeah, yeah. You're just as bad.

'course I am, was always a gd crazy nerd.

I just...

It....

I felt so ALONE. I didn't...it was all empty.

Well, you're not alone now.

Thank you.

Thank you thank you thank you.

[ He will just give more teary hugs, concentrating on pouring every ounce of his feelings into them, into everything around them. ]

['His' cube has gone and attached to that Tiamat-with-black one.]

[The bonds to the other cubes are strengthening, but they're still weak, flickering. It's harder to get her to make someone else her 'hope' without their consent, unfortunately.]

[The the connection she has to his and the other are stronger, and the cubes of her friends are repairing themselves somewhat.]

[There is also a light on the floor below them. It looks almost like some stylized feather.]

[ He lifts his head to glance toward that light. ]

What's that?

...Hope.

It's...it's been out for a few days now.

Since you got back that memory... Is there anything we can do to encourage it?

I...

I need to build something that will stand. That can last.

That's what I do. Work with small, basic things, and...and make it last, be strong.

What do you want to build?

Forts are almost always a good call.

Not sure if I have a stable nuff base yet though...
