"Should... should they come too, or should we just..." "Oh!" Pheonix stuck his head back through the doorway. "Yes, they should definitely come." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringerofShadows Posted December 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Heather followed Star, passing Ember. "I'm sorry." Her voice refused to go louder than a whisper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Ember regarded Heather, widening her big eyes just slightly. "Sorry..." she whispered, hardly loud enough to hear, just wanting to taste the word, try it out. Why was Heather sorry? She hadn't done anything wrong. Ember was the one at fault. Wasn't she? But for as wrong as it felt for Heather to have said it, it also made Ember feel a little better. Should she say something? She felt like she should say something. But she didn't want to, she was too scared. Earlier, she had felt like she was in trouble, but Star was really quite cheery, she had been nice to her. Maybe Ember hadn't done anything wrong after all. Maybe Heather... was in the wrong? No, that seemed even more wrong than her being sorry. And either way, the small moment of apology had passed and it was too late to do anything about it. Ember walked on in silence, her head bowed.

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Quote Hey, Xino, I know most of the plot is on TLT right now, but I think it's a bit unfair to Shadow because she doesn't have a character on there. It'd be nice to have both storylines moving at the same time. If you can't manage it, that's fine, I just think Shadow would appreciate that. @xinoehp512 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xinoehp512 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Pheonix led the way through the ship and into the mime tunnels. As they walked, Xino popped out of a corner. "Xino!" exclaimed Pheonix. "You're back! How'd it go?" "Pretty good," said Xino. "Where are you going?" "I'm taking them to see the Branch." Xino's eyes widened and he smiled knowingly. "Mind if I tag along?" "Not at all." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Star, appearing to have almost forgotten her somber, emotional mood from before, brightened at Xino’s appearance. Her long sleep had made her time spent in Silence’s dungeons seem far away and anything that might have had even the smallest connotation of darkness and pain was now simply... ordinary. “Xino!” she exclaimed, rushing forward and reaching for a hug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Ember, intimately connected to Heather mind to mind, shivered as the wave of emotion passed through her. She had the oddest sensation that she was watching things through Heather's eyes - spikes? - and experiencing the world through two lenses at once. It had a dizzying effect on the Destroyer and she stumbled a little bit, misteping just slightly, but catching herself before she fell. She shook herself, silently scolding her clumsiness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Star pulled away and smiled warmly, blue eyes crinkling in her ruddy-cheeked mirth. "I slept very well; that rest was much needed. I'm glad to be back with all of you." A bit of graveness entered her expression. "Though," she said, "next time, I do hope you'll wake me if something happens." She glanced over at Heather. Her smile faded. "Heather has... been pained while I slept. It's awfully unfair..." She sighed, but kept her chin up, unwilling to be taken too far down the road of misery she so often found herself treading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeper and deeper he led them, turning corners, checking maps, scratching his head, asking Xino for help, then leading the group in another direction.

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Quote Hey, Xino, when should Jay show up? A part of Star was a bit unsettled at the thought of going so deeply into caverns. It wasn't that she was afraid, there was just something about the whole thing that put her off balance. Still, she couldn't deny how the sight was when she saw it. Quote Whatever that is. Edited January 22, 2020 by Shard of Thought 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xinoehp512 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Quote Jaywalk will have likely been drawn into the Land of Dreams looking for Max, then- unable to find him- have been drawn into the nightmare side, closer to the Tree. He'll likely have to be rescued- it's immensely difficult to escape the Nightmare Tree without some form of assistance. On 1/22/2020 at 0:23 AM, xinoehp512 said: Phoenix nodded.

But, at last, they arrived. Pheonix stopped at a nondescript door, smiled, then threw it open. Behind it lay an equally nondescript hallway, extending forth for a fairly long distance before ending in a door on the other side. "The Branch," Pheonix announced. "Ta-da!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Star peered down the hallway, expecting something... grander. She stood there, mouth open. "Umm..." she said. "It's very, um..." She blinked. "I'm sorry, Pheo, I'm not exactly sure... what..." She laughed nervously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
