The Bookwyrm Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Just now, Thaidakar the Ghostblood said: "Why..." he whispered. Before letting them respond, a bubble of energy exploded from him, knocking the bird and Bookwyrm back into the wall. "WHY?" Bookwyrm winced as he was slammed back into the wall. Okay, I guess we're doing this the hard way. He dove forward, magically shielding himself from any further outbursts. Then he quickly pressed his fingers to Thaidakar's temples and threw himself into his mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he quickly pressed his fingers to Thaidakar's temples and threw himself into his mind. Quote *maniacal laugh* Have fun. At first, Bookwyrm was unnoticed. Red energy surged around Bookwyrm mentally as he saw a swirling image of a pristine hallway with a woman in Thaidakar's arms. Tears fell onto her. He was whispering something out of earshot, but he looked in more pain than Bookwyrm had ever seen him previously. His head shot up, seeing Bookwyrm. He hissed and leapt at Bookwyrm. Bookwyrm was in an empty bar, a cup in his hand with voices around him. His armed moved without thought, pouring the liquids into his mouth, searing his throat. The cup refilled and his hand did the same thing again. "You're not real..." Thaidakar said. It was more of a question than a statement. "You can't be real..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said: Quote Thaidakar has been trapped in a room for a year, going over the terrible things he's gone through in his life over and over again while drinking liquor. He's trying to handle what's happening right now by boxing it into the category of "not being real". He deals with stuff by shoving it away from him. I would like it if he's defeated, though I do want him to survive and escape at some point, whether immediately or from being imprisoned for a period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he knew Calano, but he didn’t know about the twins. He asked if his room was still here. He had a… very dark energy around him. Bookwyrm felt my pulse as well, and he ran off.

But she had been so focused on listening that she hadn't realized the lights were disappearing. She looked up and realized they were leaving. "Wait! I can help both of you. That's my job. I'm a doctor. My job is to fix people. I just need to know a little more. Don't go yet!" @Anguished_One Jinx was silent, listening to the proceedings with mild interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaidakar's Mindspace Bookwyrm coughed and gagged, retreating into the folds of his own mind to escape the poison being shoved down his throat by his own arm. He gathered his strength and sent a burst of mental light into the bar, re-gaining control, and sending chairs and glasses and alcohol flying. He restored himself, and looked around for the source of Thaidakar's voice. "I am real," he said, softly, soothingly. He sent tendrils of warmth and light into Thaidakar's mind as he carefully crept to the entrance of the bar and tried to leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't anything he could do, but if it got worse, he was available. We could destroy both of them. We aren't hurting anyone. But think how easy it would be... Find another tool. But you dance so beautifully... I'm going to destroy you. That's the spirit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Where did Lundyn go?" he asked the group. @TheRavenHasLanded @Edema Rue 5 hours ago, Spark of Hope said: "Uh... cat. I think I heard Lundyn, too." 5 hours ago, Spark of Hope said: She wiped her mouth on her arm. "I think it was this way." She started walking ahead of the two of them, arms crossed in front of her. @Cash67 @shortcake 4 hours ago, Cash67 said: Pic looked concerned and unsure. When Aventine barfed, Pic had to restrain himself from vomiting as well. Pic rushed to walk side by side with Aventine. 4 hours ago, Cash67 said: He walked in silence, but stayed close, listening for Lundyn. @shortcake Quote sorry y'all I'm finally here and alive! Lundyn was off a little ways, chasing a cat. The cat ended up climbing a try, and she spread her wings, shooting up into the air, only to get caught in the branches. "Ahh! Pic, I'm stuck!!" she yelled, kicking her legs. there was a brunch that jabbed through her left wing, close to where it branched out of her back. "PIC!!" she started freaking out when she saw the blood, "AVENTINE!!" @Cash67 @Spark of Hope @TheRavenHasLanded 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stared for a few moments, then began to hum. His staves spiraled into a perfect mimicry of his hand, floating up to where Lundyn was. They pushed the branches out of the way just enough so that Lundyn could squirm her way free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
