Oop-

He hurried to her side and supported her. It felt kinda like she was leaning against a wall made of pillows.

". . . You okay?"

". . . The garden? Why am I in 'the garden'?"

-

"Now, Aphie, she's still one of us," Hermes told her. "We're all of similar importance."

"And don't try to tell me you've never been disrespectful to any of us, hmm?" he said playfully.

Zeus continued watching with amusement.

"Yeah... I'm okay..."

She was absolutely baffled.

How could a stack of pillows lift up a bookcase?

"I don't want to say anything to you. I want you to get on your knees and beg me to forgive you. That's what I want." 

"Not anymore," she sang. "She's mortal now." 

I love Zeus just--

Corysande scowled at her, seething. She’d show her. 

She turned and started for the exit.

. . . He wasn't actually a stack of pillows, of course. It just felt similar.

"Does this happen every time?"

Lillian was convinced that he was.

"Um... yes?"

"Um... yes?"

"Yikes. Alright. You feeling any better, now?"

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

"A little bit," she said. This was really nice. Too nice. "Um, you can... I can... I'm good. I just need to sit down for a second."

". . . Oh, yeah. Sorry."

The force receded.

[echo74 she/her]

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

". . . Oh, yeah. Sorry."

The force receded.

She slowly stumbled over to the wall, using that to support herself. "I'm sorry you have to see me like this. Normally, I-- well, I-- whatever."

"It's alright."

He stayed nearby in case she started to fall again.

"Okay."

She took an uncertain step forward, then another.

"Were we going to go exploring?"

"Yeah, but . . . are you sure you're up for that?"

The fairies giggled. “Because! You’re pretty like us, probably!”

"Uh... okay, maybe not," she laughed. 

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, echo74 said:

"It's alright," he chuckled. "We can do that later. Is there anything you'd want to do in the meantime?"

She shrugged. "I mean-- talking is nice."

"Eh. True. Here . . ."

He found a chair somewhere in the room and brought it over to her.

"You should probably sit down . . ."

"Um, yeah . . ."

Seemed like common courtesy, to him.

"Are you not around other people very often?"

uhhhh the Lillian thing was a different plot

"No. I can't get hurt easily, remember?"

Hmph. Agree to disagree, then.

*hug*

She felt the same.

So. Machination?

-

Fair

Oh snap

ok then

2 hours ago, Bird Furious said:

"That's it," she snapped, and then actually snapped. 

"Congrats. You're now in love with the repulsive monkey outside." 

Corysande didn't feel anything. 

Yet. 

Ok

Machination. Yes. Yeah, sounds good. 

-

HAH

Literally 

Ares took his place by her side protectively.

1 hour ago, NameIess said:

"Perhaps I must take up that role." Nameless stroked his chin. "There seems to be precious little place for me in any of the plots ongoing otherwise."

"Nameless' medallion... didn't the Dreamsmith have that?"

As he sat, Rebel felt a faint jolting sensation. Then, suddenly, he felt a presence watching him. You... I did not notice you before now. Who are you hiding from? The voice that spoke in his head carried a regal air, words echoing with power.

"It's fine." Moni shrugged. "My Author... wants me to grow, I guess. So if you hadn't dragged me off on this quest, then he would have made someone else do it."

The king looked at each of the hunters in turn. "Very well. I believe your story." The pressure in the room vanished in an instant, and he walked back to his throne and sat down. "I will not surrender my crown to anyone. It is a sacred artifact. Take that message back to your master, if you can get out before the rifts seal shut and trap you here."

--

"Oh, my apologies for not introducing myself. I am the Dreamsmith."

"Hm." Subversion exerted her will, commanding the Enuller to drop the shield and do a handstand.

"Very well. I shall do so, in a bit." The voice laughed wryly. "Too busy now. Have to go somewhere."

"That makes sense." he nodded.

Lane looked at Jacob unsure. What do you think? he sent to him.

"Oh. You. You and your bloody trials. Is Rose with you yet?"

"No, most places I go... well, they see Enrik and think things."

"Even still."

He started zipping around the cellar, looking for anything interesting.
