PPP; S.4, T.1

The clock strikes twelve and everyone will find themselves inexorably drawn to a seat; the once-empty place marking now bears their name on it. The place settings and food items all vanish in a spray of glitter, and the In the middle of the tables what appears in their stead are--two fancy gold chests, one inlaid with red jewels and the other inlaid with blue jewels (neither of which can be opened yet) as well as what looks to be a game board and, of course, a single dice. The long, billowing curtains draw down around each table and--you'll find yourself unable to leave your table, or see or hear anything beyond it other than the background music which continues to play.

[ Rolls another ONE (even dice hate her) and just snatches up a bracelet, barely even looking at it as she slaps it on her wrist.

And then anyone with an accessory is suddenly being bombarded by feeling lost and unwanted and left out and anxious and hurt and angry and afraid and-- ]

[ WELL THAT'S A LOT, MA'AM

there's a feeling of very sincere shock on this side of the bond. ]

[ DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT IT'S NOTHING ]

[ .... okay sorry folks. she's letting go of everyone else's hands for a little bit

so she can reach over and grab both of Sabre's. she's a teensy bit miffed but way more concerned and cares and is not thinking straight. ]

HEY! Nobody's leaving you out, okay! I don't know when you went and decided this for yourself, but--I already told you I liked you, so--stop being silly and get over here!

[ and uh. well. she

is just going to pull catre into both her's and wednesday's laps. or try to. ]

[ ?!!!?!?!?!?!?

She squeaks in alarm but is pulled quite easily. ]

[ gonna just hold onto her in case she decides to struggle. ]

When you're feeling lonely, you should just come over. No one's going to abandon you.

[ Petting her hair. ]

Edited 2020-11-04 02:41 (UTC)

I'm not--

[ YEAH THAT DENIAL DOESN'T WORK RIGHT NOW HUH.

Her tail flicks anxiously and her ears lower, but then she shifts and just. Submits to petting. ]

There, there.

[ did you know

the ring can make you want to cuddle to? she's going to start cuddling you. ]

I know you've been disappointed and hurt a lot lately. And I'm sorry for that--for what I've contributed to it, especially. I want to do better by you. Will you help me with that?

[ Please a lesbian can only take so much. Her cheeks redden and though she doesn't cuddle back, she doesn't move away or try to shove Hiryuu off either. ]

Help-- how?

Well, I can only assume you'd hate being Buddy Bonded to me all the time.

[ ONLY KIJA would like that sort of thing.... he's... her special boy. ]

So that means I need you to talk to me and tell me when you're feeling things and why. I want to make you happy, but I can't even have the opportunity to try if you won't tell me what you want.

. . .

[ The bond radiates anxiety, insecurity, vulnerability, (hope?) -- and she knows it does, that her usual tactic of dodging and weaving and denying won't work now. ]

I don't know how to do that.

You don't know how to talk about your feelings? Or... is it that you don't know what you want?

[ BOTH ]

When everyone knows your weaknesses, they cut you down for them.

You think it's a weakness to have feelings and desires?

[ half of that is too familiar, the other half is INCREDIBLY rare for her, and she absolutely hates literally all of it

her eye rings go dark gray and she abruptly slams her hands on the table and stands, an outburst of aimless energy with nothing to actually do with it

she just stands there, stock still, for about two seconds, and then sits on the floor

and starts fucking meditating. ]

[ The outburst gets a bolt of alarm from Sabre, who jumps back, tail lashing ]

[ I am now doing my very best to delete all emotions, from all of us ]

Harpy? Are you okay?

[ worried ]

Please pardon my outburst. I simply wanted to meditate.

[ her voice is still perfectly calm

she wants every single feeling to get the fuck away from her ]

[ Too bad, you're not taking her feelings. They might suck but they're STILL HERS. ]

I'm sorry. It's uncomfortable, right?

[ sympathy. ]

It'll be over soon. We just have to push through this.

[ god she HAAAAAATESSSSSSS THATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

and just dunks down on it. rejects her own hatred, the way it makes her feel small and inadequate, the way it makes her feel like a failure, the way it reminds her that she will never be good enough. she takes on Hiryuu's sympathy deliberately, meditates on it, brings it into herself, and sympathizes with others. who knows with who, maybe no one, maybe everyone, but it's her sympathy too. so it's fine.

she's meditating so it's also fine not to reply. ]

[Oh... oh...

There's shock and concern. But also a genuine desire to be supportive because a small part understands and hurts.]

[ What does one do with concern and support?

Ignore them and hope for the best?

Yyyyyess, ]

[Listen. She's just met you so she can't tell you about yourself.

But she can also join in on the Sabre love and support team anyway. Just. Feelings!! Intensify!!

If everyone can hold Hiryuu's hand than everyone can also hold Sabre hands.]

[ Enjoy this bolt of ????confusion???? in response. ]
