Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Star nodded. She was a little worried about this. Shadow had an... interesting place in her heart.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Xino continued. "Once it starts, we won't be able to talk- I can't really veil sound. I mean, in theory it doesn't matter, because we can't change anything, but it's usually a good idea not to tempt fate. So, no talking. Fortunately, I can send messages to you through the lenses, but unfortunately you won't be able to send anything back to me. Can you handle that?"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Xino nodded. "Good. Now, we better stop talking- I think it's starting."

Star looked out, waiting for the scene to unfold. Quote Do we need BoS for this? Also, Pheonix's story sounds like a Greek myth. He belongs to a god (Silence) and is punished by consorting with others, doing the opposite of what the god thinks is best for him. Star could be some sort of nymph, Pheonix a demigod or something.

BringerofShadows she/her Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Quote Oof. I left my phone at home on accident, sorry. Now I’m ready. But I’m gonna add some stuff. Heather wondered the ship, lost in thought. About Skylar, Star…Butt. She eventually stopped, and noticed a door peaking open. She peaked through, realizing it was a music room/recording booth. Yeah right. Heather kept walking. But the thought kept persisting. Maybe if you just sang something…Nobody will hear…She sighed, and stormed back to the room. She grabbed the acoustic guitar and sat down in the booth. The recording part was beyond her understanding, so she left it alone. Now what? Heather paused. You know it. She tuned the guitar, and began. Wait a minute, let me finishI know you don't careBut, can you listen?I came committed, guess I overdid itWore my heart out on a chainAround my neck but now it's missing, hmm Da-da-da-da-da-daDa-da-da-da-da-da-daOh, hmm So I think I better goI never really know how to please youYou're looking at me like I'm see throughI guess I'm gonna goI just never know how you feelDo you even feel anything? Da-da-da-da-da-daDa-da-da-da-da-da-daOh, hmm You said don't treat me badlyBut you said it so sadlySo I did the best I couldNot thinking you would have left me gladlyI know you're not sorryWhy should you be'Cause who am I to be in loveWhen your love never is for meMe Heather started to cry. She took a deep breath, and continued. Da-da-da-da-da-daDa-da-da-da-da-da-daOh, hmm So I think I better goI never really know how to please youYou're looking at me like I'm see throughI guess I'm gonna goI just never know how you feelDo you even feel anything? Heather let it out. She cried…Her guilt was becoming too hard to handle. She wasn’t just crying over Skylar…It was everyone she hurt. Marsh, Star, Skylar’s mother, the millions she's killed… Heather stayed their until her tears ran dry. Edited July 9, 2019 by Inklingspren 2
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Quote Poor Heather. I want to give her a hug, but I'm afraid she'll stab me...
xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 The air wavered for a brief moment. There was a bright flash. A ship shimmered into existence, identical to appearance to the one that the pair had just left. That's them, flashed across Star's vision. Ember, Shadow, Tom, you, me, Pheonix. Everyone. Even Silence. A few minutes later, people began to disembark. Xino couldn't blame them- the ship's deck didn't look big enough to hold all those people. Here she comes, Xino flashed. See?
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Star glanced at Shadow, but she was distracted by Pheonix. He was so... so close.
BringerofShadows she/her Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 BoS stumbled around drunkenly…
xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Xino sent a message, regretfully; Remember, Star, you can't change anything. Focus on Shadow, for now. The woman had paused briefly, but was now resuming her wandering path. Let her get a bit farther away, sent Xino, looking at the ship with a cautious eye. We'll act when the worlds split; that's when they would have been least likely to notice us.

We'll act when the worlds split; that's when they would have been least likely to notice us. Star stayed close to Xino, but she couldn't stop staring at Pheonix. She felt tears come to her eyes. How could she have let him be stolen away? Again? She'd only continue to fail him, wouldn't she? And one day, he'd stop loving her. She'd probably missed her chance already...
xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Quote Rereading TLT, I am lost as to what the canonicity of everything is. My disappearance really messed things up. My only conclusion is that some of it is anachronistic. What, though, I couldn't say. Reality began to tear, shimmering and twisting. Ahead, Xino could see the versions of Shadow split from each other, each wandering a different path. Slowly, the Prime one faded from view. Now, sent Xino with urgency, beginning to stride after Shadow. Once we get close, we can speak again.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Quote Yeah... TLT is weird like that. Star followed, shaken by watching Pheonix be ripped from reality while the other version of her lay helpless and burned. Shaking her head, she turned to Shadow.
BringerofShadows she/her Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 BoS yeeted the empty wine bottle behind her. 1
BringerofShadows she/her Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 Quote Danke. She also started humming 8 by Billie Eilish. BoS stopped halfway threw, then started to cry.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Star watched solemnly. There was a lot underneath her cold, drunken exterior. What a shame it had taken them this long to realize it. She resolved to give Heather a big hug when his was over.
BringerofShadows she/her Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 BoS sat down and started to cry like a baby as she sipped her wine. 1
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Quote Eh, that just makes me think of Dalinar. The GUILT! The urge to help her was almost overwhelming. Star looked to Xino pleadingly.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 "We can talk now," said Xino. "I'll keep us invisible, though- don't take off your lenses yet."
