-- CURRENT radiantRagdoll [CRR] Well she's helping roll. --
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] erm. on the palm of her hand --
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] an almost invisible shred of light embedded from his frehead to his chest, lots of blood multicolored, but not gushing out, more like a steady river of it. --
CCE: wha-what is this?
-- CURRENT nativeTerror [CNT] his face heats up --
CNT: remember the last time you were in here thinking about things like that\
CRR: I haven't the faintest...
CRR: It's going alright Chrys. Okay?
-- CURRENT radiantRagdoll [CRR] Grabbing the kit. --
-- CURRENT pandaRunner [CPR] giggles softly --
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] mm. --
CPR: Jeez Rin.
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] the slime approaches the edge of shreom's hand. yess. --
-- CURRENT radiantRagdoll [CRR] Reaches to brush her fingers over the light. --
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] oh wait, no, that's not far at all --
CRR: || Brb heck. ||
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] probably --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] was babbling things under her breath, hands twitching as she attempted to decipher her next course of action. --
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] the slime instead takes one step and falls off of shreom's hand --
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] his eyes would be all white, with wisps of black flashing through them. --
-- CURRENT pandaRunner [CPR] That is not blush, that is her face panicking --
CCE: (wh... what do i do, what is this...what do i do, what should i do, what happened what is happening what... what do i do..???)
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] the attempts to touch the light would be for null. --
CVW: ...!«
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] it drops, shreom still holding the apple --
-- CURRENT nativeTerror [CNT] giggles quietly --
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] the slime loses its lovely shreom shape, but is still intact. wow. --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] attempted to touch the light herself, because whthahecksle --
CVW: ..are y9u alright??«
CPR ceased responding to memo.
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] at her touch it shoot a black tendril out and through his chest, i guess it responds to living things, but in a bad way. --
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] the slime elects to mimic sasha again. --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] jerked her hand back, afraid --
CVW: ...9h..hell9«
CNT: you okay?
CBC: shre.
CBC: wha?
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] The slime POINTS at the apple. --
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] waves with a small smile --
CVW: ..«

CCE: um.. okay, um.
CCE: (what do i do)
CIQ: ((So CE, im on episode 8)).
CCE: (( ooooooooo ))
CCE: (( EP 7 THO AMIRITE ))
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] the slime does in fact take the apple. --
CURRENT pandaRunner [CPR] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CPR: Yeah I'm ok, just this is nice and warm
CVW: I c9uld make it smaller pieces«
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] . . . just to place it on the ground. --
CBC: Ea?
CPR: ((Oh fuck a missed a new steven universe. Anyone know if it was a filler???))
CVW: eat!«
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] reached to make contact with his skin that wasn't near the light, her intention to make electrical impulse contact --
CIQ: ((Which one?))
CPR: ((Today?))
CPR: ((Is it Thursday?))
CNT: okay
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] the slime bites the apple --
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] watches --
CIQ: ((Oh no, three gems and a baby was the last one for this year i believe))
CBC: Tasy.
CPR: ((Aww))
CPR: ((Ok ^_^))
CPR: ((Good I didn't miss anything))
CVW: g99d!«

CIQ: ((Something about lower viewership during christmas))
CPR: The sky is deep and frightening high.
CAH ceased responding to memo.
CBC: Ea al?
CPR: ((Brb ))
CPR: (( need to restart phone))
CVW: if y9u want«
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] as she did, there would be nothing to feel. No thoughts, no nerve endings, no brain activity in the slightest. --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] froze, absolutely terrfied --
CRR: || Back. ||
CCE: (nononononononononononononono.)
CCE: (( wb ))
CRR: Chrys calm down okay?
CRR: He's going to be fine.

CBC: al is . . . noh small?
CVW: ..?«
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] tries to pick up the apple --
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] the slime lets this happen --
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] starts to cupt up the apple...coring it and offers her a slice --
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] there seemee to be angry twinkling thoughts emanating from somewhere on him, a fmikar feeling of metallic complexity. --
CIQ: Familiar*
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] lilac takes the slice, starting. . . at it. --
-- CURRENT nativeTerror [CNT] meep meep --
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] places the rest down --
CVW: please eat«
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] bit her lip, eyebrows furrowing. She searched her mind for one of her earliest memories of being alive;: when she first communicated. Those thoughts had been there, too. Too complicated for her to follow, but... they felt like this. He had seemed dead then, too. Now that she thought about it.... --
CURRENT pandaRunner [CPR] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CPR: (( I wish you could have heard the music of the clouds fighting overhead. ))
CCE: wait
CCE: cashew doesn't sleep
CCE: but he seemed to have fallen asleep after we had communicated the first time
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] lilac is indeed ea. --
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] cute --
CPR: Hey ponyboy?
CCE: ...this is normal
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] exhaled very loudly, her breathing shaky but not so frantic --
CCE: okay...okay.
CCE: things will be okay.
CNT: yea?
CCE: i need to trust.
CPR: (( ah I don't want to count bodies like sheep at the beat of a war drum. WHY IS THIS SONG IN MY CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYLIST! Scared me))
CBC: Lil small?
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] after finishing a slice of apple. the very first --
CPR: You are soft and warm so just a fsr warning I may fall asleep on you.
CPR: *fair
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] the twinkling seemed to get angrier, the stannic sounds alluding to something almost feasible, something very recent. --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] bit her lip, hands curling into small fists. --
CVW: ///«
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] ** --
CVW: lil is small, yes«
CCE: cashew will be fine.... everything is okay. i know he will be fine.
-- CURRENT nativeTerror [CNT] smiles a bit and pats her --
CBC: wy lil small?
CNT: well i mean we're, stuck
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] on to a second piece of apple --
CPR: Yeah...
CVW: y9u are a small slime! y9u will get big s9me time«
CPR: We should try to get unstuck
CCE: i trust him.
CNT: i mean we COULD
CCE: (( hECK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMEx_Yx4m8M ))
CIQ: /he the tendrils suddenly burst into shadows.
CDD: (( bleh. alive again. ))
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] * --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] flinched, but stayed in place, eyebrows furrowed, ever stubborn. --
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] yeah, lilac makes it finishing a third slice of apple. --
CPR: But this is soft
CNT: mhm
CPR: And safe, away from the dead pillows!
CVW: ..y9u're cute..«
CBC: Wha?
CIQ: ((That was fucking amazing, damn virtual boy))
CNT: mhm
CCE: (( IFK R ))
CCE: (( DAAAAMN ))
CIQ: ((Also welcba DD))
CIQ: /methe ground rumbles softly at first, the angry twinkling stops immediately.

CBC: Wha?
CPR: (("Why is everything you draw either very cute or dead things???!??"))
CVW: ..n9thing..«
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] is shreom planning on eradicating a slime? ._. --
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] thinking about it --
CIQ: ((You woukd understand if you, reas between the lines.))
CVW: ..Shre9m needs t9 sleep..«
CIQ: ((YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH))
CBC: Wha?
CBC: Shre wha?

CVW: mhm!«
CCE: (( my fuckign god ))
CCE: (( tht was awful ))
CCE: (( that joke i mean ))
CCE: (( i laughed though so ))
CVW: ..I must leave..s9rry«
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] glanced at the ground, then back at Cashew. Her eyes were still moist with unshed nectar, and there were sticky tracks on her cheeks from when a few droplets had fell --
-- CURRENT voidsWrath [CVW] awkward wave...tries to close the door between them --
CVW ceased responding to memo.
CBC: Wha...
-- CURRENT pandaRunner [CPR] pets Rin relaxing in the closet and looking around --
CPR: Do you ever wear this stuff?
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] the light flutters from his body, shaping into a small done as it attempts to escape the shaking bar. His upper body splits in half, he twist to his side, launching himself at the dove. The sounds coming from him were ungodly, like the mix of a dying world, and the desecration of many lives. --
CNT: what stuff. it's pitch black in here
CPR: I thought there was clothes in here
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] so, where's twiz --
CIQ: ((Dove*))
CIQ: ((I spent 5 times correcting that one word))
CNT: i mean there is but if you recall they're stained thanks to a certain someone and my washer doesn't exactly work
CIQ: ((And it still defies me))
CPR: ..........
-- CURRENT pandaRunner [CPR] face turns pure red --
CPR: Shush
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] watched with wide eyes, trembling as something that was obviously our of her league of control occurred. She felt her fingers twitch, itching to get her pinecone; she wanted something to ground her in the moment. She needed something to physically touch that would assure her that everything would be okay. She started to move, only to find that she was shaking uncontrollably, unable to reign in her senses. --
CCE: (( rest in rip ))
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] ...TH? --
-- CURRENT nativeTerror [CNT] can't see her face because they're stuck in a closed dark closet --
CNT: what i answered your question
CPR: You fid
CPR: Did
-- CURRENT pandaRunner [CPR] giggles softly --
CPR: (( If I was a robot that was secretly human my name will be verie Humane
CNT: then don't shush me
CPR: I can shush you anytime!
-- CURRENT pandaRunner [CPR] giggles more, of course she said that in a joking tone --
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] the dove darted away, the creature that pursued it became more humanoid as it joined together. He lands on his feet, taking out a gorgeous see through dagger, he slings it towards the doce, a black chaincoming from his band. The dagger plants itself into the bird, it qickly grows into a more ethereal form of an angel, the chain wraps around the things body and pins its wings closed. --
-- CURRENT dDmobile [CDD] Kiko's currently lying on a beach again --
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] he walks towards the ensnared form, th chain medling back into the band as he walked closer. His head reformed, but still bleeding through a gnarled gash. --
CNT: whatever you say
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] had no idea what the actual fuck was happening --
-- CURRENT pandaRunner [CPR] pecks Rin on the cheek --
CIQ: What gave you the AUDACITY to try and pull this?
CDD: ...hm.
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] the words severity expanded to a point where it became close to deafening. --
CDD: now that i think about my own age.. or rather, i have time to think about it...
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] was both terrified, but also not --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] recognized the voice (i think) --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] obviously --
CPR: (( Be right back to need to restart phone))
CDD: let's see... appearance wise, i'm about 19 or 20...
CDD: mentally.... i.. uh...
CDD: don't think machinces really age all that much. but if i'm talking about how long ago i first set foot here..?
CDD: (( almost said "set doot." )
CDD: ...i'll go for about a year.. and a couple of months..?
CDD: wow. life's dealt me a....
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] it responded with whirs and clicks. He evetually reached the squirming being and drew his sword, it became an onyx black. --
-- CURRENT dDmobile [CDD] waves what's left of his left arm around --
CDD: /bad hand.../
CPR ceased responding to memo.
CDD: ....i need to move and talk to people. that just felt... wrong.
CIQ: Would yo like to report that to the one who sent you, because i know them, and either you die here, or you die by her hands.
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] it gives a weak click. --
CIQ: Good choice.
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] watched, no longer nearly as scared. She didn't seem to be displaying any emotion visibly, actually. --
CDD: ...but the sand feels.. oddly warm.. no. i can't do this to myself.
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] rams the sword into the chained heavenly beast, it dissapates into nothing. The sword became a dull grey as he sheathed it. He flicked the chain and wound up like a tape measure. Catching the dagger, he seperates the two and sets it under his belt. --
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] he turned towards chrys, his front half profusely bleeding, but he just smiled. --
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] the slime stays right outside shreom's house. --
CIQ: Now that wasn't fun to watch was it?
-- CURRENT dDmobile [CDD] he struggles with standing up, grunting a bit --
CDD: i'm only a year old and i already feel like an old man.
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] managed to stand, finally. She looked messy as heck, her hair arranged in some form of bedhead, her face sticky with nectar tears, and still clothed in a nightgown. But she smiled after a moment of staring, laughing almost silently. She no longer seemed to be emotionless, but the one emotion she seemed to be projecting the most, was relief. --
CIQ: ((Nice kiko))
CIQ: ((I just saw the hand joke))
CCE: the worst part was turning you over and sensing nothing.
-- CURRENT dDmobile [CDD] he stands up, looking at the still bloody coat he left o the sand beside him --
CDD: ....nah. it'll still be there when i get back.
CDD: besides.. i don't really need it anyway.. do i? not like i can get too cold... i think..
CIQ: Like i said i don't sleep.
CCE: i know
CIQ: Its more like a stasis phase.
CCE: i remember. thats how i figured out that it would be okay.
CCE: i remembered the first time we met
CCE: it had been the same then, too.
CDD: .....maybe the problem with me not having any other "friends" is the fact that no matter how hard i try.. there's something about humans i can't mimic
-- CURRENT botanicCaricature [CBC] clearly will be waiting for some time :P --
CDD: but i'll get to that when it /really/ matters. and what matters right now is that a temporary fix for the arm.. maaay be possible.
CIQ: The job to protect me belongs to those annoying pieces of metal on me.
-- CURRENT dDmobile [CDD] he stretches a little, walking in the direction he remembers Plena being --
CIQ: But they never take it seriously.
CDD: hope it's this way... 'cause i'm not gonna try my luck with directions again.
CCE: how does that work?
CCE: wait.
CCE: before we get into explanations
CBC ceased responding to memo.
CGO ceased responding to memo.
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] shifted, looking kind of nervous. After a moment, she held out her arms, avoiding eye contact, cheekspots light. --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] made lil grabby motions with her hands. --
CIQ: A hug? How forward of you.
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] he said teasingly. --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] frowned a little, the color of the spots brightening again. --
CCE: just. get over here.
CDD: although i'll never get better if i don't experience it... first hand.. (..end my insanity. my simulated. fake. insanity.)
CIQ: Are you sure, because im bleeding something fierce here.
CCE: how does that quote go?
CCE: ah yes
CCE: "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
CIQ: ((Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy))
CCE: (( lmaoaoa ))
CIQ: Alright, but i don't know how my blood will react to you.
CDD: if i keep doing this, i'll beg him to just take a leg. wait.. no. that won't make my situatio any better.
CDD: (( *situation. ))
CIQ: ((The hand jokes, its too much to handle))
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] shook her arms a little, still avoiding eye contact. Impatient flower is impatient and in need of comfort, if only a little, before she can move on completely. In her defense, that would be a little traumatizing. --
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] he laughs with a cottony tone. Scooping her up into the air and embracing her. If any of the blood wereto touch her skin, a srong rush of supernatural minerals would flow through like a food waterfall that sated all nitrient needs. It seems his blood is compatible with even plants, who know? (Basically anyone if they noticed everytime he bled the ground it had touched become greener and thick.) --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] made a small noise of surprise, before gripping him as tightly as she could. She trembled for like 7 seconds before calming down again, suddenly noticing how energetic she felt. Huh. She craned her head to look, watching as the multicolored blood kinda just... seeped into her skin, leaving it as healthy as it had been since birth. --
CCE: ....well, alright.
CCE: onto more pressing matters
-- CURRENT dDmobile [CDD] while walking, he takes a twig off a tree from folium --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] trusted him to hold her upright as she moved her hands to press against each side of his head, making intense eye contact --
CDD: maybe if i jam this into my ar.. no. nope. nooooope.
CCE: i was really scared for a bit there, okay.
CCE: i figured out that you'd be okay, but for a moment
CCE: a few moments, really
-- CURRENT dDmobile [CDD] he holds the twig like a javelin and puts all his strength into that throw --
-- CURRENT insaneQuestioneermobile [CIQ] he gave a half grin as he held her up all comforting like. --
-- CURRENT dDmobile [CDD] it travels a total of two feet.. he sighs --
CIQ: I'll be fine, no matter how the bad the situation is.
CCE: i tried to contact your nervous system and there was nothing. i couldn't feel you, in the way that only my kind can. that was terrifying. i just wanted to let you know that i was genuinely scared, alright? i don't know what i would have done if you hadn't come back. i logically know you'll probably always come back, but. i was in emotion mind then. just. know that you matter a lot.
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] wordvomittt --
CDD: ...i can just warp, can't i. how did i forget some so simple.
-- CURRENT dDmobile [CDD] something* --
-- CURRENT comelyEfflorescence [CCE] smiled again, tilting her head a bit. --
CCE: i know.
CIQ: Hey, hey, its fine. Also, if you need me while im like that, all you need to do is press my gift against any part of me.
CRR: || So what happened ||
