Hmmm, it is. [And isn't, but there are complicated reasons, okay.]

From:

forthemackerel

[ yes, you have a lot of those complicated feelings ]

I should be going, unless you wanted to talk more.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Yes.]

Nah, I'm good and you can always hit me up on pesterchum.

Go on.

From:

forthemackerel

[ collecting all the Roxys, yes. With that take the plunge to the True heart ]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[It's almost hard to notice at first, the transition between water to something else. In the end, both are soothing, a welcoming embrace. Aimless floating without need to worry about things like gravity or even air.]

[The only time it becomes obvious is when it feels like there's something below his back.]

[When he takes in his surroundings, he'll see himself on a swirling pattern of black and white, a mix of the void Roxy knows and the white around Kyriakos.]

[There is one other thing off, a symbol, and in the middle is Roxy, in her Rogue of Void outfit, seeming to almost be meditating.]

From:

forthemackerel

[ it's hard for him not to get too distracted by that soothing feeling and just let himself float, but he's focused on trying to find Roxy. to finish what he's come for. when he spots her, he'll attempt to make his way through this void-type space toward her ]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Nothing prevents him, at least. When he reaches the void aspect, a thought pops up.]

[I want to exist and be happy.]

From:

forthemackerel

[ that's certainly a thought that fits the theme so far ]

You do exist.

[ since to this point, he's learned that a lot of these feelings coming inside of him are Roxy's, not his own. and that's going to be a struggle for him to suss out later ]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Sorry her feels are invasive.]

[And Roxy jumps when he speaks. She....may have actually been asleep,whoops.]

From:

forthemackerel

[ he's just also super susceptible to it with his blank slate of a self, so.

...uh, oops? sorry for waking you ]

Roxy?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[That too.]

....

[She smiles brightly and holds out a hand to him.]

["Welcome."]

From:

forthemackerel

[ hand holding for all the Roxys ]

You're True heart?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Hell yeah.]

[She tugs on his hand to have him sit beside her, nodding in response.]

From:

forthemackerel

[ it's because you're all cuties. he'll sit down next to her at the beckoning ]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[This is true.]

[She smiles and she makes motions, like the Carapacians did, that somehow translate into words.]

"You've been on a rather long journey, huh?"

From:

forthemackerel

[ nods, since he can't deny that ]

But it was worth it.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

"You really think so?"

From:

forthemackerel

It was. I learned a lot about both of us.

[ even if the fallout will be hard ]

Do you think it was?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[So hard.]

[She tilts her head, considering. She pulls his hand into both of hers, considering.]

[There's a tentative feeling of fear, of breaking, a loss of control, insanity, but it's only for a few moments as it turns to surprise, trust, faith, of a feeling of companionship, clarity, stability. The importance of a certain shade of pink, of freedom where there had been chains, more surprise, understanding, trust, faith, trust, faith, trust, faith.]

[A feeling of wholeness.]

[Of happiness.]

[Finally, she nods.]

From:

forthemackerel

[ that initial shock of emotions weighs heavy until the positive ones grow in his chest, almost to the point of overwhelming. but it isn't so bad to be overwhelmed once and a while. it takes him a moment to process it all, but he gradually nods back, unable to hold back his smile from all those positive emotions impressing on him ]
