The Twenty Second Trial

[hot_mess_express]

Who: You
When: Day 49, Morning
Where:

The entrance today is a huge, ornate stone archway. A gossamer veil glittering like starlight upon water hangs inside it, fluttering as if caught in a gentle breeze. It's impossible to say what might lie beyond; even if you walk around the other side — and it's perfectly possible to do so — you just see the same thing.

Doing something in the past doesn't mean you like it, or have to like it now. You're way too gentle a guy for that to hold water.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

...It'd be easier if it did, though.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

A lot of things would be easier if you didn't care about them, yes. But... you do care.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

I do.

[UNFORTUNATELY.]

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

That's a good thing.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Yeah. I don't regret it. It just... hurts, right now.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

That's... pretty understandable. Let's get you healed.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Okay. I can walk, but... mind helping me up?

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

I can just carry you.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

...Rean, it's not fair to say cute and hot things right now.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Does that mean "yes Rean, carry me in your big strong arms"?

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Uh, yeah.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

[Time to pick Randy up! In a princess carry. Time to make sure he gets to the medical car. By carrying him there.]

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

[it is extremely unfair to fill randy with horny dokis when he's so delicate, jsyk]

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

[He's not going to let randy walk! No matter how unfair!]

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

[randy snuggles up to him and is hornysad with a side of terrified, but the terror has at least been consistent since he ressed.]

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

[Holding him gingerly because maybe just having his arms around Randy will help.

He's gonna herd Crow and get both of them to the medical car to get ALL THE HOLES PATCHED UP. But maybe he won't let go of Randy if Randy's still sadscared by the time he gets to the medical car.]

It's okay. I've got you.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

I know.

[softly. the sadscared isn't stopping, really, and honestly having less about reality to panic over is just leaving room for the hallucinations to dig their hooks into his every thought.

at least he can hold onto Rean, physically and emotionally. It's embarrassing to be like this in front of Crow, but it's hard to care much about it.]

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Hey. Talk to me.

[If Randy is talking maybe it'll distract him. ]

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

If I just ramble I'll say something crazy.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

That's fine. It's okay to be crazy sometimes.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Can't say I'm a fan.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Haha, me neither. But that's why we're gonna focus on getting you healed and distracted.

Then you can talk through it when you're less unsettled.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

...Okay. Sorry for all the trouble.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Randy... you aren't trouble.
