[You are now in Roxy's room!]

[It looks the same except the colors seem more....dim.]

[unguilded]

Oh ... this is familiar, at least...!

[ If not a little different, color-wise. But he pokes around either way. ]

It doesn't look like anybody's in here, either...

[lucciola]

[but haven't we seen two versions of this room]

Perhaps she... or they are not home.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[This one is in one piece, at least.]

[unguilded]

[ Calls out: ] Is anybody in here?

[lucciola]

[at least that's a plus.

in the meantime, he inspects the desk, what's on it, and so forth]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[No response.]

[Laptop, book, martini glass, book, a laser gun.]

[unguilded]

Haah, worth a try!

[ Goes to check out the LASER GUN. ]

[lucciola]

[... I'm going to... go and lightly touch that book under the martini glass again. though I don't have void powers anymore... still]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[I need to know how to fight. No one else will protect me, no one else will watch my back. I have to be able to fight, I have to be able to take them down, or I'll die.]

[I wonder how much I learned for fun and how much was practical? Did I hack the ships? I could see that. It would be another way to keep Dirk and me safe.]

[unguilded]

[ So she was by herself and had to figure out how to protect herself. Keep herself and her friends safe. ]

... 'how could it have been different'...

[lucciola]

[just shakes his head]

If she was not alone...

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Such a quiet house.]

[unguilded]

Yeah...

If it was her mother who left all of this for her, it's probably that. Her being here could have made things a lot different. Not just out things turned out, but ... how it feels in here. Empty.

[lucciola]

Yes. I wonder why she were not...

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Who could say. ):]

[unguilded]

Either way, she ... seemed like she was trying to help Roxy out.

[ He has no idea if there's anything in the room listening, but. ]

Is that it? It could have been less lonely, if she were here with you, while you were growing, learning.

[lucciola]

Aah.

[you have a better feel for this than I do. since... you would know how it's like to be alone, as from before we met]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[The house doesn't respond.]

[May need a more dramatic change then realizations.]

[unguilded]

[ A dramatic change. His brow furrows, but then he takes out his phone. ]

TP: Roxy?
TP: I know we have to help things in here.
TP: Keep things balanced right.
TP: But how much change is too much?
TP: We know what this is.
TP: But don't see you anywhere in here.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

TG: gotta do something to let her see u

[unguilded]

TP: Okay.
TP: That gives me a better idea.
TP: Thanks.

[ Negative feelings limiting you ... Breath is about freedom, about the lack of those limitations so you can find the path you need to be on. He focuses on that, the idea that even if she's alone in here, even though things could be different in here, it's not focusing on what could have been different that will make it easier. That only traps you in a place that doesn't exist, isn't real. Even if it seems better than the reality, nothing changes in reality, you can't break free, you can't get anywhere. Is that what she really wanted for you? He's not trying to replace the loneliness in the room, but rather try to show that there's a path, a way that will lead to other things that will start to fill that feeling of empty loneliness.

Along with that he tries to bring those feelings forth with a gentle breeze, so maybe the air of the house could feel less stale, less alone. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[The colors brighten, the atmosphere feels a little less oppressive, less quiet.]

[Rook can hear a soft crying elsewhere in the house.]

[unguilded]

[ VICTORY.

...

Wait not victory now there's crying.

Tossing a concerned glance to Lucciola before he heads out of the room, following the sound. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Mixed victory.]

[It's down at the other end of the hall, through another door.]
