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.

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.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

I'm extremely trouble.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Even if it weren't literally my job to look after you, you wouldn't be trouble.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Goddess, fuck, that's right. I've got you obligated.

Re: REVIVALS 1/2

[awakenerd]

Randy, I swear to Aidios if you start thinking like that I'll bully you relentlessly until you stop.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

I want you to be mine, too rely on me when you're down. That's not tickle. That's being you friend. And we're a lot more than that too. I want you to think of me as someone you can be totally selfish with. Please.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

...Sorry, I was being a dick.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

A little. You're allowed from time to time. No one is at their best when bleeding and stressed out.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Even so, I don't wanna just... I'm sorry.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

[Kissing the top of his head and opening the medical car.]

You're forgiven.

[Said softly and lightly. He wasn't mad to begin with Randy! Just worried.]

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

[rean is too good :(

randy tucks his face against his shoulder and whines.]

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

It's okay.

[Soft and reassuring, taking him to a medical pod]

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

You'll stay til I'm out?

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Yeah. I'll be right here.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

Okay. Sorry. Thanks.

[if he's not alone probably the shit clawing at reality can't get him?]

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Any time.

Seriously. You only have to want me there and call my name and I'll come for you. Outside of trials.

Re: REVIVALS

[crimeson]

If you say it like that I'll want to monopolize you.

Re: REVIVALS

[awakenerd]

Is that so bad?
