Hey xino and Enter, are you guys gonna make an evil team-up with the Fallen King's servants and the Death Guard thing? Maybe you could put that in the Just the Plot thread.

Queen's eyes fluttered open, and she sat upright in confusion.

Where am I? Why am I rocking? Was I taken captive?

Her heart rate slowly returned to a normal pace after she saw Fadran. He doesn't look worried, so we must be safe. And, even if we're not, I'm not alone. She quietly spoke up.

"Where are we?"

Fadran starts as she sits up. "Queen! Hey, um... we're alright. Apparently Enter has his own personal mini-yacht that he just keeps under a tree on the shore. We're headed for his base now; we'll be there in a few hours. How are you feeling?"

Queen hesitates before responding, "Tired still, but other than that, fine. Is Fox awake yet? I have something I need to ask her."

Queen's hesitation was even longer this time. She wanted to tell Fadran, but knew that he likely wouldn't understand as she did, and may possibly develop anger or even hatred towards Fox. "I don't think I can tell you. At least, not now."

"Alright, so... I got the idea when Enter was talking about the universe-killing death gang people. One of the best ways to defeat a threat that powerful is to get a bunch of followers to help you out. When you were unconscious here, I got to thinking about how much I didn't know, and it suddenly clicked," Fadran holds up his notes, "I think we should start an organization that will eventually span the Macrosmos, and collects information from Universes all around and compiles them into one huge collecting of intelligence. If we could get the idea around, we could recruit members, compile what we know, and face off against just about anybody. We could solve so many problems with something like this! I mean, just look at what our ragtag group of weirdos managed to do with people from just a few Universes; imagine what we could do with thousands of people from thousands of Universes?"

Queen was at a loss for words. (As evidenced by the extreme delay in response from her author.) "That would be incredible! How would we get idea around, though? We already have a lot on our plates..." Queen went over by Fadran, looking over his shoulder at the notebook. 

Quote

I really wanted Queen to blink and say, "Wow, you have really bad handwriting. What does all that say?"

But she didn't cooperate with that.

"I was thinking we could figure this out when we get to Sel and help Herate's revolutoin. I was... also thinking that while we were there... I mean, Sel has some pretty ballrooms, and I'm not much of a dancer, but maybe we could throw something together and... spend some time together not running from Universe-destroying threats, if you'd... want to go with me."

Fadran totally has awful handwriting. Feel free to point it out.

What was Circe doing? How could this woman already love Fox? This wasn't fair. It was too easy. It couldn't be real. It was too good to be true. Her... somebody from her past used to always say, 'if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.'

The words themselves also sounded good and all, but would they actually work? Only time would tell. "How do I know people will value my emotion, and not reject it? Or worse, they dismiss mine opening up as something that happens every other day, when they do not know the emotional struggle it took for me to tell them my true feelings."

"I see the hesitation in your eyes. You wonder how it could be so easy. Fox, It is not so easy. Doubt exists within me. I'm, but an echo. Nath though is a better reader of souls than I ever was. I love him and trust him. I can see in you myself. I know why he gave you the knife. Doubt me. You would be foolish not to think it all so convenient. I have learned much in my eons of life. Let my actions speak for me. Those who love you will never reject you. If you are rejected then it is by those who never cared for you. They expose their weakness. It is never easy to admit your struggle. However, your struggle will be your strength. It will make you far mightier than those who stand against you."

Tears begin appearing in the slumbering Fox's eyes.

Fox took a deep breathe in, and then let out a sigh that came from the deepness of her soul. Time had made her weary. Time had also made her reckless. It was likely that what she was about to do was inspired by both qualities. "I hurt Nath, badly. Both physically and emot-" she choked, "and emotionally. And I don't know how to make it right." She was overwhelmed with the frustration and sadness and guilt of what she had done, and it all came tumbling out of her mouth, once it started, it could not be stopped. "I just, I don't know how to help him, but he says that everything's ok, and that he's forgiven me, and I know that, but then whenever I was in trouble he didn't come for me, and now I'm double guessing myself, did he ever really trust me again? And then the act of me beating him up, I just, I knew that he could fight, but I didn't know he was like, a warrior. So why did he let me hurt him?!" Her voice was getting higher and more desperate and more frustrated. "He should have stopped me, or something! I should have stopped me! Why didn't I stop me?!" At this point Fox was yelling "Why couldn't I just have more, SELF CONTROL!!! AGH!" She slammed her fist down on the arm rest of the throne, causing it to throb in pain, but Fox didn't care. "Why couldn't I just be BETTER?!" She screamed in frustration.

At that moment, the room seemed to dim for a moment, and then it began to fade. "Wait, wait- no!" Fox tried to stay, she tried to hold on to this place with Circe. She tried to, but no. Her body wouldn't let her.

As Fox's eyes fluttered open, she found hot tears pouring down her cheeks. She leapt to her feet looking around, trying to figure out where she was. The tears were blurring her vision, and she could feel herself being rocked back and forth causing her to stumble around. "Where am I?" She seethed, a surprising amount of anger and hatred keeping the voice taut.

Actually, where are you? Are you in the medbay? Are you up on deck?

 

[Vapor she/her]

Vapor looked up at Rish, judging how much she could trust her.  After a moment she said, "I don't know all that much about mindscapes. Nath has used his to say things not everyone can hear, and has storage of weapons and such. When Fadran was training with them he did something with fire."

I've been operating on no sleep all day and I'm sorry if that sounds strange.

To be quite honest, I'm not really sure. I think someone put us on reclining chairs, but they didn't specify where...

Oh, right. Herate and T set you guys up on some chair-fields. I will now summon the Grammar Constable.

If you don't mind. Could you tell Connie that Herate needs to care for the patient? Fox may need some mental recalibration before she can function properly.

Rish pauses. She nods. "Ask. I will answer you as best as I am able."

Circestran sighs and shakes her head. "I thought as you did. In the short term you allow yourself to hurt, but in the long term those who care for you are made to hurt even more. Those who care would take part of this burden." She pauses and fixes Fox in a gaze which transmits an ocean of pure unsullied love. "To hurt with you is a way of showing true love. Denying them this does not protect them. It robs them of the ability to show you that you are are not alone. The pain whispers lies in your ear Fox. It tells you that you are weak for sharing your pain. It says this because it is afraid. It fears that you will defeat it. It uses every tool to trap you. It becomes a prison of gold. It looks luxurious, but in the end you are still trapped. Alone the pain becomes your soul friend. Every word becomes a truth to you. However, the truth is that you are the mistress of your pain. You are its ruler. It is your slave. When you walk with others the pain is trapped by you." A tear runs down Circestran's face. "It took me so long to learn. I thought that I would never learn."

Thank you for this.

 

"Fox, you're awake!" T says. "Right now we're boating to Enter's base. Taln, we've been heading there for a while. We're on Scadrial right now. Vapor left with Vale, and Fox, Nath, Queen, and Fadran vanished for a while then came back. Winter kidnapped Fox a few times, but I think we're done dealing with him."
