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. )

He turns to face her fully; he sees the conflict on her face, and something in the exhaustion and tension in his own expression eases. ]
Kara.
[ He says her name like a parent whose kid is coming home way past curfew, who knows she needs scolding, but can't bring himself to do it, because he can only imagine what sort of things have kept her from coming home when she appears in a state like that.
It's warm, concerned. Deeply caring. ]
You're not killing anyone. And I'm not going to hurt you. Don't listen to what the— [ he gestures vaguely at macha... That ] —says to you. You don't need to hurt other people for approval, real or otherwise. But I think I know the real Kara, the one fighting to take back control, already knows this.
[ He smiles. ]
You're a good kid, and that hasn't changed.
[ He opens his arms. For a hug. Or perhaps an invitation for her to attack him again. To be honest? He doesn't care what it ends up being, because he's not fighting back anyway. ]
C'mere.
