cw probably gore

[crossmyheartandhope]

[There's nothing here.]

[It's dark, and quiet.]

[And dark, and quiet.]

[And dark, and quiet, forever, and there's nobody, but that's been true forever, too, so it isn't really a surprise anymore.]

[we_meet_again]

[He hates this immediately!

He holds his breath, listening for... anything, eyes straining in the dark. Is there anything here? Anything at all?]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Of course not.]

[This is all there ever was; all the rest was just a dream.]

[You've been here the whole time, after all.]

[we_meet_again]

[:T

He feels for the lantern he normally carries on his hip. Is it there?]

[She doesn't like this. She doesn't like being alone. She doesn't like the dark and quiet. It's like death. It's like a terrible place that she knows in her soul.

So she tries to walk around to find something, anything at all.]

there is nothing. You ache from walking. You're hungry, and thirsty, and you want to rest, but if you rest, you'll still be here in the dark.]

[Sekhmet screams. She shouts into the darkness. There has to be something. Somebody who will hear her, somebody who will save her,

get her out]

[ There's no reason to move, but he has a body - he has two hands and two feet and two legs and two arms and a beating heart and that's really all the reason he needs to walk, keep walking, even in the darkness. It's better than sitting still in the darkness, it's better than rotting in the quiet. ]

Re: cw probably gore

[apocryfall]

[ If he rests, things will still be the same - if he walks, things will still be the same. Then, he chooses to walk.

It's a long time, it's a long way, and he's not going anywhere, but at least he's moving. He has to keep moving. ]

[Well

[this figures

[probably just gonna curl up and die or something and why not? why the fuck not?

[because yeah, this figures

[because it's true

[everybody leaves]

Re: cw probably gore

[crossmyheartandhope]

[It's true.]

[There's certainly nobody here, at least.]

Re: cw probably gore

[irregular]

[It feels right.

[He sits there for what feels like a very long time, lost in the rightness of it all...

[He hardly feels like he deserves to go looking for anything else. Why should he? Why, when there's nothing and nobody and this is right? When K gets to his feet, when he finally starts forward, it's more from a lack of anything else to do than any real expectation that it'll help.]

[asonoficeandfire]

[... looking around, and seeing nothing, opening his mouth to say something, but no... it's been like this for a long time? when did this happen?

he reaches out in front of himself, but can he even see his own arm? anything?]

Re: cw probably gore

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He can see himself just fine. He's there, in the darkness. (He's the only thing in the darkness.)]

Re: cw probably gore

[fleurescence]

[Wow this is familiar but far worse and she hates it.]

Gosh, this won’t do! Aren’t there any windows around here? Time to let the sun in and start the day!

Re: cw probably gore

[crossmyheartandhope]

[There are no windows.]

[There are no doors.]

[There is nothing. Maybe, out beyond this place, there is a sun, but it is nothing but a distant memory of warmth on your skin. (You would give anything to feel the sun, just for five minutes.)]

[innerdaemons]

[ dipping~~ his way ~~ on in here ]

Hellooo? Is anyone home?

Re: cw probably gore

[crossmyheartandhope]

[There's no answer; but you know dreams. Even in this dream, where everything is cold and dark and oppresively alone, you know your way toward the pinprick of light.]

Re: cw probably gore

[firstworldproblem]

[The dark he doesn't mind. Prefers it actually. The quiet. Troublesome.

He snaps his fingers. If he can manipulate the dream, he'll turn on canon powers for himself. If not, well, the sound will just echo in the emptiness.]

Re: cw probably gore

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Dreams are your domain; whatever powers you want are yours.]

Re: cw probably gore

[hissterics]

[ Bristling pretty much immediately... ]

Uh... hello?

Re: cw probably gore

[crossmyheartandhope]

[There's nothing. No answer. No sound.]

[There's only endless, oppressive black.]

Re: cw probably gore

[marsascending]

[ oh hey. she's pretty sure she's seen some other dreams about this place, too. hello, darkness, apparently everyone's old enemy.

she's really not a fan.

well, she snaps her fingers for her own amusement and uses her dreamwalking powers to at least get herself a lantern before she starts walking. ]
