Skylark's Ideal World | Session 2

[idolpro]

Once, there was a maiden...
...who was driven from her land.
Great black stags chased her, and their eyes shone blue.
Monsters scrambled after her through the bush, though they found her not.
Stumbling on a log, she fell and thought to surrender, and end the torment of the hunt—

... ... ...

You're so, so tired.

Why carry on?

... Surely, it's okay to take a break—

"If you're looking for him, he's in the cottage." She points at it. "He's just busy making dinner."

...Dinner, huh?

That... is very domestic. And finding him seems easier than I would have thought.

[ He thought he would have to search high and low. ]

Crane-san, are you aware of why we are here? Of the trouble that Lark-kun is in? I know he is someone important to you.

Re: Talk to the girl

[intheshade]

There's a long pause, like she's debating how she should answer this.

"...Yeah. He's not gonna wake up on his own."

Re: Talk to the girl

[heavyliesthecrown]

Will your words help? Will he listen to you? With our own encouragement. I know that you, above so many else, are probably the most important person in his life.

You... mean everything to him.

"He's not gonna listen to me if you don't have 'proof' to show to him, you know. If I could convince him by myself, then you guys wouldn't even be here."

"And just 'cause the 'real' me means everything to him, doesn't mean he'll believe me or you right away. Gotta chip away at some of this stupid dream first."

Re: Talk to the girl

[heavyliesthecrown]

How would you suggest we do so? I would take your advice, Crane-san. Where would you suggest we begin?

Re: Talk to the girl

[intheshade]

The pause of someone internally going, 'shit, why do I have to explain things, I suck at it'.

"There's a bunch of weird, illogical stuff in here? Stuff's...inconsistent, I dunno. Things that don't match up with 'reality' at all, bits of reality leaking in."

"...There are other people here too, so you can talk to them and see if they'll give you their 'proof'. I think the old man's in town, he can tell you shit better than I can."

[ He nods ]

Alright-- I will look in the cottage quick to see if there is anything I might find useful inside, and then can travel about in order to find others. I should like to speak with him first, though.

Thank you, Crane-san. For your help. If there is anything else you can think to tell me, then please do.
