10/29 --- Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve?????

Who: ??? & you!
What: Something's starting...
Where: Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve (Twilight Shoreline)
When: Sunday, 10/29
Warnings: Will be added as needed.

( Perhaps intrigued by the mail allegedly sent by CC Corp, perhaps visiting the Shoreline by chance, gating into the Area goes as it always does, until the music stays cut for longer than it should, and the black, liminal transition screen lingers for a little too long. The seconds tick on. They near turn to minutes. You can't struggle, you can't argue— you can only simply be, and it occurs to you that maybe you'll be trapped midway here, conscious, for maybe forever.

And then you hear static. Your vision warps; pixels strain into words, blurred and unstable. You see them combat for your attention; you see— )




( And then you load in. )

I...I'm sorry!

[ In his Charmed state, Memoir nods at tabibito before targets Miharu with an Orchid Dance attack. Thankfully, it misses, and he looks at Miharu with remorse. ]

Why? Why are you my enemy?

[She's only just barely recovered from being charged by Tarvos and not getting caught in his blind fury when Memoir comes swiping at her, Tabibito on his heels. Even slowed from the debuff, the attack misses her somehow, and she steps back instinctively, like she has something to protect in the first place.]

It's true...isn't it... You're all hurting each other. [Everyone here has the capacity to hurt her much more than Macha does. Macha hasn't raised a finger.]

No...no! I don't want to hurt you! You're one of our operatives, I –

[ He starts raising his weapon, looking for another strike. This is the right thing to do, he thinks, because Macha will pave the way to their salvation. Still, though... ]

Fight back. Please. Don't make it easy for then to show you salvation. Even if they must.

[ Good timing, because it looks like she'll fight Tarvos instead, so feel free to brush Memoir off! Cheers for Shay!!! ]

[Yay for heads on the coinflip! But talking is a slightly discounted action while we get all the pieces in place.]

I don't think I'm going to be saved. [She smiles, but it's not really a smile that she's actively making, just the confusion twitching her mouth in a weird way.]

But I do think I should protect. [All she wants to do is fight, for some reason, so there's no gentle forehead flick for either Tabibito or Memoir just yet. But she did roll to attack an enemy, so...]

You probably can be. [Saved, protected, loved, something. I've been informed by god that I can get a forehead flick in too so - She slaps Memoir across the face.]

[ Oh. He's getting attacked. Oh, okay.

You know what! That's great! Because suddenly, Memoir looks disgusted at himself despite his gaze being right on Miharu.
]

What...what the hell was I saying...? Attacking Miharu...salvation?

[ Oh, he's pissed. Somewhat at Macha, yes, but ultimately: ]

LILY!!!

[ He doesn't know Miharu well but he's not a fan of hurting his allies. He's pumped up. He's ready to fight. ]

[Placidly:] You're fine. Now we can focus on what really matters.

[Now that he isn't charmed he can probably see that her confusion debuff is still active, even if she saw through it enough to act the way right way(?) just now.]

Don't worry. What we're losing of ourselves is nothing compared to what they've lost. Rest easy.

[ they try to trap her with a MeJuk Kruz but miss, shooting a vaguely disappointed look at memoir. ]

[Unfortunately for her confusion debuff, she's just getting missed all over the place. She takes another step backward.]

But...! There's supposed to be a reason I'm not giving up yet. [Something to protect? She should protect Macha. Aren't they all doing that?] Even if we're both trying to protect him, maybe our feelings are too different.

[ there's no need to chase her down because they're a caster. and they seem patient enough about putting her in the grave. her comment gives them pause, however. "maybe our feelings are too different." they still, letting their staff disappear into their inventory, and gaze down at their hands. what was it again? once, it was... ah, rainbows. and an explosion of sparkles.

and now?

they let go of their staff and clap softly. just once. ]


Did you see that?
ophidie: (⛎ 9)

[personal profile] ophidie 2023-10-30 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[If she wasn't already confused, she would be now.

There's the weird-jerky motion of her lifting her blade, either startled by the clap or to guard just in case Memoir comes back around.
]

What am I supposed to be seeing?

[personal profile] tinged 2023-10-30 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ come to think of it, was their question for her or someone else? ]

I... Not a thing. I suppose the answer is nothing.

[ brittle, bitter in love. ]

Would you kindly snap him out of it?

[Ah... The bitterness in their voice hurts like they actually managed to hit her with their attack.] ... That's too bad. I wish I could see it.

[She looks at Memoir, frantic and distressed. He said he didn't want to hurt her, but he tried to, anyway.

Well, that's normal. To Hani:
] What about you?
