Nemesis and Hurricane's Ideal World: Session 2
[The sky above is a deep, unnatural crimson, filled with roiling clouds and creatures that are a sickly oil-slick black. They writhe and wriggle like something out of a Lovecraftian nightmare; they have entirely too many eyes, and entirely too many wings, and when they open their mouths, they have entirely too many teeth]
[Below them, the city of Tokyo is half-shattered; above the rooftops, mechanized suits the size of people hover in the air, darting in out of the chaos, laser blasts and explosions and wickedly sharp blades fighting tirelessly against the endless onslaught]
[Until finally, the last creature falls]
[All at once, civilians flood the streets of the city; the lights come on in all the buildings, which somehow have become whole again, safe and unharmed. A cheer goes up from the crowd. Overhead, a stunning fireworks display paints the night with light and color]
[And they all lived happily ever after]
[The end]
Re: THE PARTY
Over in the woods. It looked pretty ruined, and there was some older man yelling about a lamb, and harbingers. [ She doesn't have to try very hard to look upset here. ] It made me worried.
Re: THE PARTY
That can't-- That don't belong here.
[She frowns, taking a breath]
...Don't tell Cross--Hurricane, okay? I'll take care of it.
[Another breath, and she works her expression more into place]
Sorry about that. You--you don't gotta worry about that.
Re: THE PARTY
I'd worry about anything that upset you. [ Stretching up to kiss the corner of her mouth if Nemesis will allow it, something between comfort and apology. ]
That's why I didn't think he belonged -- this is supposed to be your perfect place, isn't it?
Re: THE PARTY
[She doesn't pull away, but doesn't look particularly comforted--though she does attempt to smooth out her expression]
But--okay. Thanks for the heads-up. I ain't gonna let that fucko ruin this...
Re: THE PARTY
[ And now doing a terrible job of holding herself together, because she's just so furious and sad and ] I just got you back from being some grey ghost -- I know it feels like you never want to leave here, but some part of you knows this isn't right. And if it was right, I'd never try to take you away from it, you must know that.
Re: THE PARTY
[She frowns, but there are better priorities, and she moves her arms to pull Alizarin closer]
...Hey. It's okay--you don't gotta freak out. We'll figure this out, okay?
Re: THE PARTY
You don't believe me. [ Trying hard not to cry here, it won't help anything. ] I'm not sure I'd believe it either. But I just don't want to lose you in here.
Re: THE PARTY
Look--nobody's getting lost noplace. You wouldn't be here if I didn't wanna see you--if you didn't belong here, okay?
[But also something is happening]
