"Good. Glad we didn't lose you." She shot a smile backwards. 

That made Lati even more sad.

Why was she so happy all of the sudden? She'd been hurting herself! People didn't normally do that, she was pretty sure! Did she even care?

She floated along silently.

Jidah turned back around and sighed internally. Oh well. They were almost to the ledge.

She did her best to stay out of the way.

Jidah changed the boundary of the barrier to stretch from the top of the outcropping to the ground, as soon as everyone was inside. Now that she wasn't the one holding the shape in place with sheer willpower, she sighed and sat down. 

I can hear your thoughts, you know.

Lati wasn't sure who she was talking to.

. . . Hi? she thought quietly.

Don't worry. I don't either. To answer your earlier questions, I'm fine.

Jidah leaned back against the wall, gazing up at the ceiling. If only she could be more like Lati.

She was still sad- she just didn't want to cause any more problems.

Jidah knew that. But... it seemed like the only things that worried her were other people. 

Exactly the opposite of me. 

She realized she didn't like that.

She jumped. 

I forgot you can too. uh... honestly, I don't know. It just doesn't... sit right.

Oh, um, yeah okay, she said, pretending to understand.

There was still a curtain covering the now open window, so no one would have seen it dissolve from the outside. Cautiously, Sigismund climbed onto the windowsill and poked his invisible head through the curtains, trying to see what was inside. I only have a few minutes left of invisibility, so I'd better be quick about the sneaking around part.

Ah, I did not catch that. Is there a cooldown involved there?

Likely. Perhaps he can rewind it, wait a few seconds, then rewind it again, which would also take a bit of time.

Jidah nodded tersely and led them in that direction. "Lati's still here, right?" 

The trio arrived at the wall without much more than a couple close calls, and 209845 felt relief as the darkness inside of it receded in the face of this new challenge.

"We will have to scale the wall," it said aloud, oblivious of the mental discourse taking place between its companions. "Jidah, how much can you stretch the shield?"

8 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said:

". . . She tried to grab me though. And she was hurting herself."

"Um . . . yeah. Hi."

"Mortals do that sometimes. It is unusual, yes, but not abnormal. For some reason, they seem to believe that when things go wrong around them, there must be something wrong with themselves. They fail to realize that a being's worth is measured not by its environment but the things it is able to withstand. And Jidah..." 209845 glanced at her through its weary gaze. "She has withstood a lot."

Okay.

She waited a moment.

Are you sure?

". . . Uh-huh."

She did her best to make sense of that for a moment.

"So she . . . she thinks that she's a bad person because bad things happened to her?"

“Essentially, yes. Except with Jidah, I believe it is a little more complicated. Her own bias towards seeing herself as infallible causes her to experience feelings of self-degradation without identifying them, which in turn causes her to behave irrationally.” 209845 thought for a second. How did it know all that? It brushed the thought away. It was intuitive; yet, 209845 was beginning to learn that mortal behavior was anything but.

Quote

Important note: when using the term “mortal”, 209845 isn’t strictly referring to beings that are mortal, but also, like, living beings that may be immortal, like Jidah was. The Cloud exists outside of mortality, if that makes sense?

“Plenty, with enough power. The Rift should provide more than enough.” 

Jidah bit the inside of her cheek and looked away.

Jidah clenched her hands into fists. She was beginning to taste blood, and her vision swam.
