[O RIGHT. Blood players!!]

Y'know, I'm told that my skill set makes me pretty good at building things~

So why don't we try making another new block together?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Btw, you should have an easier time makin' things here. Hopes good for that. [Since I'm here while you two are talking about pool making.]

[She's contemplating blocks.]

And that's the idea. I just...need substance for it. Base needs substance.

From:

carptricks

-- really?

[well that should make the pool-creating adventures easier]

And what sorta substance are you looking for?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Nods.] If you believe in something hard nuff, it makes it just a little less fake.

[Indeed.]

Real reasons to hope.

From:

carptricks

[laughs]

. . . that it does.

Your friends are important to you, aren't they?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

The most important thing.

From:

carptricks

Then use them.

[a grin]

Use them as your reason to keep hoping.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...I need it to be friends here.

I need...reassurance.

[She reaches down, picking up the broken orange block.]

I used my friends from home as a base. Because I was used to it. Waiting, being patient, and I was confident in how they felt for me. There was no doubts, no neurosis. I knew that as long as I got back to 'em, their feelings wouldn't have changed.

Here, I'm always questioning, unsure. I dun understand people well, so it takes a while to be confident, but it seems when I'm really opening up, they go away. So I thought home was safe.

But then it wasn't.

From:

carptricks

[reaches out to place his hand on a green cube]

Then use me as a base.

We might not have been the closest of pals before this whole adventure started, but. . . [and he shrugs] I dunno. This might seem weird, but after rudely tromping through a number of your issues, I feel a li'l bit closer to you than I was before.

[sheepish smile]

So. . . let's be friends after this. Better friends than we were before.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...

[She picks up the cube, holds it out to him.]

What wishes do you have for me and why? Why do you want to help me?

From:

carptricks

[takes the cube]

. . . I wish for you to be able to harmonize your past experiences with your future. I want you to become stronger, step forward, and keep on fighting for all that you believe in.

[a breath]

I wish for you to go home and rescue your friends there, with the support of the friends you've made in Kyriakos.

[another pause, this one short]

And I want to help you because after seeing everything I've seen in this soul. . . how could I not? I've said it before but I consider you a friend.

So. . . I'm only doing what any good friend would do.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[As he talks, fireflies fly closer, gathering on the cube. They glow, flicker, the light spreading along the cube.]

So, you'll help me reach a happier ending?

From:

carptricks

Of course.

[earnest]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[There's a flash, and the fireflies pull away from a cube that is now the exact shade of your eyes.]

[And now you're getting hugged by a tiny teen.]

From:

carptricks

[s-so many hugs in this heart]

[but he returns it wholeheartedly]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[ACCEPT THE DERE.]

[This is what happens when you can't touch humans for fifteen years. '-']

From:

carptricks

[THE DERE IS ACCEPTED]

Y'know, if everyone here creates a building block, you'll have a pretty sturdy base to build from.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Nods.]

That's what I thought, when Sakura pointed out how many were here.

From:

carptricks

You've really got a lot of friends, y'know. . .?

I hope they can all get through to rage somehow.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

I...

I do.

[Finally pulling away.]

It's just hard to believe most times. It's easy to believe it when the number of people you know you can count on one hand for years.

Harder with that...everything else.
