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. )

She'll avert her gaze to Levi, instead. ]
Go. Talk to him. He needs you.

[ This may be the end, she's realizing. If what happened to Mithrun happens to Barrett, then this is probably the last chance she has to say something.
She'll swallow her pride and glance back at his weakened form. ]
I'll watch over Levi, and Fandom Foodies. ... And I'll look for flowers, like the ones I sent you after your football game.
[ ... ]
Barrett...it was me, at the church. I don't think I ever told you that. You were right. I'm just -- [ She feels herself getting choked up, despite her best efforts not to. ] when we meet again, we'll both do better.
...Thanks. For trusting me with him. And...for being my friend. It was fun.

I wonder if he's ever been as happy as he is when he's with you.
I don't remember. But... I think, maybe, it feels true.
...
I hope, even if your heart feels angry... always let people love you, Kara.

[ Then, she places a hand over her chest and shakes her head. ]
I'm not angry. Not right now.
...
Because I got my friend back.
[ Except that's not true. Kara is very angry, angry at Lily, CC Corp and Fragment. Angry at the world that continues take and take with so little to give back.
But what little she's gotten has made a difference. It's why she can finally, finally smile at Tarvos' dying form. She promised Hector she wouldn't hurt people anymore, so her anger at Barrett has subsided.
She has to wipe her eyes. Barrett probably hasn't seen her cry before; this would be the first. But it's time to make space for Levi. ]
Welcome home, Barrett. The house hasn't been the same without you.
