[Understand.]

Or well maybe not so yolo in here. ]

Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 10:11 am (UTC)He lets out a painful hiss when those feelings hit him at once, and he sucks in one deep breath when he becomes whole again, clearly rattled, and he certainly wasn't expecting that.
His power told him to understand, and this was what it meant, right? He knows he has these powers exactly so he would come back like this ... so it's not a bad thing ... it's not a bad thing, right? Dying in Roxy's heart like this. Not like Bluebird, not like Bluebird ... please don't let him have just fucked something up all over again. ]
Haaah...

Date: 2015-01-26 10:38 am (UTC)[ Looking down to those team cloths again. Is there a Rats color? Not that he's touching it at the moment. ]
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 10:42 am (UTC)Well, that's the whole point of it, isn't it? To figure it out.
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 10:45 am (UTC)[ Reaches for the Rat colored one then to see if there's a different feeling from that. BRACING before he does. ]

Is it ... that you feel like you couldn't do anything about it?
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 10:52 am (UTC)Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 10:56 am (UTC)[ Going over to the blood (and paint? Somehow he has a feeling it's not paint but other colored blood is weird. He doesn't touch it, but he stares. And he tries to see if he can get an idea of what he needs to touch, where he needs to go to understand. ]
Are these different? Than the team colors.
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 11:00 am (UTC)[Red and Fuchsia.]
All depends. Are you asking if there's a theme for items? No, nothing that deliberate. It's all 'bout associations.
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 11:01 am (UTC)[ Well those two pulls are. Pulls.
So he sucks in a breath and goes for the red first! ]
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 11:04 am (UTC)[You touched the red blood and suddenly there is knowledge in your head. You’re the last. You were always the last. The last of the human race dead centuries before, the last of your Neighborhood that burned down, the last of your universe, twice over, once from the Red Miles, another from the Reapers.]
[The last of your friends, of your family, with no more cheats, saves, tricks, or alternatives.]
[Forever the last one standing, little rogue Roxy.]
[Growing up on islands of graves and seas of blood.]
[Fifth time's the charm for you to really be the last of your whole reality. Fifth time to make it stick with no one left to save.]
[Finally, Roxy changes and you see it. The small wounds through her chest, and the bigger one just below her heart. The burns, blue lips and finger tips. The marks of vines around her body, and the pieces of her that just seem...missing.]
[Her eyes no longer yellow, but an eerie, blank white.]
[But hey, didn't die that time, and no vines!]
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 11:24 am (UTC)Not that this doesn't hit him any less. ]
... not that you couldn't do anything about it, whether you tried or not, but that you had to deal with it, you had to live through it, experience it so many times, over and over again. While things that were parts of your own life, parts of you, the things you loved, were stripped away and destroyed. So even if you're alive at the end of those things ... it feels like parts of you are dead, gone. Is that part of it, too?

Date: 2015-01-26 11:34 am (UTC)[But you see an alien woman.]
[You know her every crime. Everything she has done to you. How much she has taken. How much excessive cruelty she's performed simply because she COULD. To you, to everyone around you, to so many alien races. How unrepentant she is, how she targets you, and your friends.]
[How she demands you to save her race for her to enslave as she took away yours.]
[How she killed the last of your family twice.]
[And suddenly it's so very easy to imagine yourself draining every tyrian drop from her body just to make sure SHE STAYED DOWN.]
[So, that was her version of your sister.]
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-26 11:42 am (UTC)Ah.
I resonate so fucking much with this one.
He jerks away from the fuchsia, much more harshly than the other ones. His breathing is uneven, like he's trying to bottle up a sudden rush of sheer rage, as well as delight from that thought of seeing somebody like that die and stay dead. Someone like her. ]
