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

[gluttoning]

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. )

[Possibly not the best thing to say to someone who was literally attacked with Data Drain: "Glad the Data Drain worked." Those are cutting words she keeps to herself, for once. He did remove her status effects, after all, freeing her from the limbo of her her heal-over-time and the bleed effect fighting one another.

After looking at the offered hand skeptically for a moment of disbelief, Miharu takes it limply, her gloved hand warm but not offering much strength.]

Thanks.

Don't mention it! Us players gotta stick together regardless of what happens. Especially now, yeah?

[Leo's handshake isn't much better, unfortunately. But the strength isn't the point right now. It's the solidarity of the gesture that matters.]

[ophidie]

Yes, especially now. [That much she can agree on, even baffled and chafed as she is by being surrounded, even by the well-intentioned. It's not the time to dwell on why she feels that way.]

So people are finally able to be free from here. [Setting the expectation of "everyone" will lead to disappointment, so she tempers that, even now.] We can't lose sight of that goal.

[bleatingedge]

[There's a quick nod from Leo, followed by a few moments of contemplation before he speaks again.]

Yeah. Who knows, maybe if they find a way to their physical bodies somehow, they can get the word out about all of this. That way more eyes will end up on the situation. Not exactly holding my breath for that, but it's a potential outcome.
