[ 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 ]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[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.]

From:

forthemackerel

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

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[At least there's that.]

[And you suddenly find yourself in the ring.]

[And oh wow.]

[Wow, probably familiar now, that is a lot of death by RED VINES everywhere for a good chunk of people in Kyriakos both past and present.]

[And there's Roxy whose just....sitting, staring at a dead Sparrow whose got vines and glass in her.]

From:

forthemackerel

[ looking around slowly before approaching just as slow, remaining silent and stopping next to her. just... watching for the moment ]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[She just....stares at Sparrow for a long while.]

Can't get used to it.

From:

forthemackerel

[ still just watching her right now ]

The death?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Nods.] Seein' my friends dead. Even here, it doesn't...

[She reaches out to touch Sparrow, stops, pulls back. Sparrow is too STILL and...well, it scares her.]

From:

forthemackerel

Death is still death. Even here.

[ sits down next to her, even if he wouldn't know who Sparrow is, it's still obvious her importance to Roxy ]

It's still real when it happens.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...yeah.

Still feels real, even if they come back. Eventually.

From:

forthemackerel

And since you've experienced it, you know the pain is real.

[ since. he's gotten the taste of that in this heart ]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Nods.] Yeah.

She...really hates it. Has had nightmares 'bout it.

But she's always gotta try and save people.

From:

forthemackerel

The last part sounds like you. It looks like you probably have nightmares, too.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...sorta, I guess.

I dun...dream like normal people do. It's part of the Game. Just memories 'less someone else wanders in. Or just the void.

From:

forthemackerel

What do you mean by wandering in?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Sometimes it happens. I guess Delriza does it. Where people can wander into each others dreams.

At least I dun think dream bubbles are happenin' here.
