Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[It would have been blue, BUT THEN YOU TEXTED.]

[Also, the Hope symbol? Is now complete. CONGRATS.]

[She's smiling gently, squeezing his hand. She closes her eyes.]

Describe a view you love to see.

Re: HOPE

[menially]

[YAY I DID A THING

He grows quiet, thinking for a long moment.]

...

A beach of white sand, clear skies... water clear enough to see to the bottom for ages.

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[You Amaltheans and your water.]

[There's quiet, a stillness to the air. Then....the world around them chances.]

[It's clear night skies, because the fireflies are still around, as is the pool, Hope symbol, and blocks, but the scene he described is now around them.]

[And Roxy is beaming.] I can create now.

Re: HOPE

[menially]

[Hey, hey, this is less waterboner and more sad nostalgia, okay. Which is a little more readable than normal as the atmosphere changes. He hears her, flashes her that smile, though it's all tinted with a hurtful sort of longing.]

You can. It's really something, isn't it...

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She nods and looks at him thoughtfully. She squeezes his hands.]

Did I tell you...what a Rogue of Void can do?

Re: HOPE

[menially]

[Shaking his head.]

No. All you've mentioned is that it was a passive role, instead of an active one.

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

A Rogue of Void is a creator role.

A Rogue steals their aspect for the sake of others. I take the nothingness from things, so they can exist. This room needed to be fixed, because Hope is an aspect of making things a reality, so I needed it to be part of me.

And now I can make things again. I have the base I need to do it.

Re: HOPE

[menially]

...Heh.

I'm glad, Roxy. I hope you can keep doing that.

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

I think I can this time.

[She smiles at him.]

I have a stronger base now than I had before.

And because everyone's worked hard to make it easier to get more pieces.

One day I'm gonna make Heart a reality.

Re: HOPE

[menially]

Your charisma's as impressive as ever.

Heart must be further in, right? I don't think I've seen it yet, anyway.

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She nods.] The next room. I can send you to her and she can send your anywhere, even True Heart.

Re: HOPE

[menially]

I understand.

[And yet he hesitates, arms crossed tight as he stares back out at the ocean.]

Though...

...

...You don't mind if I give it another minute, do you?

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

That's fine.

It's nice to enjoy the scenery with others.

And...remember things?

Re: HOPE

[menially]

[A slight nod.]

Yeah.

Sometimes remembering things isn't quite so bad.

Re: HOPE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She nods.]

It's important to, I think.

1/2

[menially]

Definitely.

Forgetting some things, some people... it's like having to lose them all over again, you know?

2/2

[menially]

...

[Gonna just. Walk down to the beach and plop there. Don't care that the surf's getting my pants all wet, viva la Hod and all that.]

Re: 2/2

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...yeah. [She nods.]

[Well, nothing wrong with that. She'll come join him on the beach and enjoy the peace and the fireflies.]

Re: 2/2

[menially]

[The fireflies are a nice touch, ngl.]

...

Where I lived when I was young... it looked a lot like this.

Re: 2/2

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Spirits all day everyday.]

It's a beautiful place. Peaceful.

Re: 2/2

[menially]

Yeah. Used to be a huge dock on the other side of the island for plenty of boats... houses and streets made of white stone...

I miss it sometimes.

[All the time. Constantly. But eh. Details.]

Re: 2/2

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...can you visit it, or is that not an option?

Re: 2/2

[menially]

[A heavy pause, before he shakes his head.]

Not an option. It's gone.

Re: 2/2

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...

[She reaches for his hand, slowly, giving him time to pull away.]

Re: 2/2

[menially]

[He'll catch it in time, thank god. He only recoils a little bit before collecting himself again, breath in, breath out, and reaching back to take that hand.]
