PA8(Scattered on the wind)RF7: Couple of idiots part 2

[20:53] <~Kroked> BGM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txa19VilQpk
[20:54] <~Kroked> Luna: Erina you spend most of your day talking with the smith, who helps you too make a new bed from the Miragrifo
[20:55] <Erina> "H-hey um mister, would you be willing to teach me a bit about blacksmithing?"
[20:55] <Luna> "Soo big.. looks comfy too"
[20:55] <Erina> "I can pay you for the lessons..."
[20:56] <~Kroked> "Well... I guess I dun spose why not... but this is the kinda craft that takes /years/ to master, I heard you were just waitin out the month till a new hunter arrived?"
[20:57] <Erina> "Just the basics would be fine, enough that I could start practicing."
[20:57] <~Kroked> "Hmmm.... Well... I guess it wouldn't hurt"
[20:58] <Erina> "I want to be able to use the materials from the things I kill, to make sure their deaths weren't pointless."
[20:59] <Erina> "And also because having to travel back here every time I want to use something.....might take up a bit too much time."
[20:59] <~Kroked> the smith smiles "That's a good attitude to have, not a lot of people are like that anymore."
[21:00] <Luna> "Speaking of useing something, did you ever have any luck with that chunk and other stuff i droped off mister?"
[21:01] <~Kroked> "Ah yeah, that. seem's pretty flammable, might be able to use to make a potent torch or somethin
[21:02] <Luna> "A torch huh, good to know i guess"
[21:02] * Luna pulls out the reptite hearts and mushrooms "What about these?"
[21:03] <~Kroked> "I can't say I much about Mushrooms, and those hearts fetch a good price on the market, considered a delicacy in some parts"
[21:04] * Luna puts the items away "Great! Thanks for the info mister!"
[21:06] <Erina> "Thank you! When should I come by for the first lesson?"
[21:07] <~Kroked> "Tomorrow mornin. I show you the tools and teach you basic safety"
[21:08] <Luna> "Thats great! My little Eri is gonna learn how to make stuff!"
[21:08] * Erina turns red again, "Th-thanks again mister."
[21:09] * Erina moves over to where the bed is and tries to pick it up.
[21:09] <Luna> "..Can you carry that thing Eri?"
[21:09] <Luna> "Let me atleast take one side"
[21:10] <Erina> "Don't know but I can try."
[21:10] <~Kroked> Erina: it's heavy, but you can pick it up
[21:11] * Erina grunts a bit, but manages to lift it, "Don't worry, I got this."
[21:11] <Luna> "Wow.."
[21:12] <Luna> "You sure you dont want a hand? I cant crush mountains like you but a bed shouldnt be much trouble."
[21:13] <Erina> "J-just make sure that I don't run into anything."
[21:13] <Luna> "Alrighty"
[21:13] <Erina> "And I can't crush mountains!"
[21:13] <Luna> "Sure you can, common alittle this way'
[21:14] * Erina hobbles after Luna.
[21:14] <~Kroked> Luna guides Erina to the hut, where Nate is sitting outside, you move the bed inside
[21:15] <~Kroked> when you're done Nate steps in "Luna, can I talk to you for a little bit?"
[21:15] <Luna> "Huh? Uh sure, why dont you lay down for alittle while Eri? Could prolly use the rest."
[21:16] <Erina> "Okay! My backs been killing me for some reason. Feels like I slept on rocks."
[21:16] * Erina plops down on the new bed and begins to relax.
[21:16] <~Kroked> Nate walks outside
[21:17] <Luna> "Told ya that bed was too heavy.."
[21:17] <Luna> "Comming Nate!"
[21:17] * Luna walks outside
[21:18] <~Kroked> Nate sighs "If this doesn't work, this is going to be very awkward"
[21:18] <Luna> "If what doesnt work?"
[21:18] <~Kroked> he walks up to you, and lightly grabs your face. he than leans his face to you, and touches his forehead to yours
[21:19] <~Kroked> roll a pow check
[21:19] <Luna> )roll 1d10+8
[21:19] * Crunk --> "Luna rolls 1d10+8 and gets 15."
[21:19] <~Kroked> it's kinda embarassing at first, and than, it happens
[21:20] <~Kroked> your mind.... kinda reshuffles itself
[21:21] <Luna> "Wwhats going on.."
[21:21] <~Kroked> 2 sets of memories surface, both of them equally real, you know that both of them happened... somehow. And were branched by a specific choice you made. you made both choices, you know this somehow. in one choice, you rejected eri, yet in another, you accepted her.
[21:22] <~Kroked> it's a strange sort of... syncrocity
[21:22] <~Kroked> like being 2 people who are the same person
[21:23] <~Kroked> Nate slowly moves away
[21:24] * Luna just stands there, eyes glassed over stareing at nate
[21:25] <~Kroked> "You ok Luna?"
[21:25] <~Kroked> Nate looks visibly tired
[21:26] * Luna snaps out of it "Uhh.. I.. ya, i think so. My head is killing me though."
[21:26] <~Kroked> "Sorry, it was hard on me to"
[21:26] <~Kroked> "...but do you understand now?"
[21:27] <Luna> "Ya, its weird... how the hell are there two of me? Did we do some gate time travle garbage while i was out?"
[21:29] <~Kroked> "There are many many universes, alot of which are better described as timelines"
[21:29] <~Kroked> "A powerful being named omega used what little power it has at the moment to scramble your and Erina's memories"
[21:30] <~Kroked> "It wanted to drive you both insane, thus getting rid of you before you could pose a problem to it"
[21:30] <Luna> "So the whole headbutting contest today.. was that things doing?"
[21:30] <~Kroked> "...something like that"
[21:30] <~Kroked> "As it stands, I chose to give /you/ these memories for a reason"
[21:30] * Luna rubs her head without realising it "Alright, wheres he at, hes gettin a spear in the face for messing with a ladies memoires"
[21:31] <~Kroked> "One, I can only do it for one person, it was hard enough. two... I'm not sure eri could handle it"
[21:31] <Luna> "...You mean Eri is stuck like that?"
[21:32] <~Kroked> "...That's up to you."
[21:32] <~Kroked> "You have a decision to make"
[21:32] <Luna> "Not again.. that worked so well last time, err, times.."
[21:34] <~Kroked> Nate shrugs "You have to decide which timline you want to be the right one"
[21:34] <Luna> "Thats the problem, its both.."
[21:36] <~Kroked> Nate shrugs and sits down
[21:37] <~Kroked> "You don;t have to decide right now, but you need to before dark."
[21:40] <Luna> "You saw what the two timelines were didnt you? This choice isnt possible"
[21:41] <~Kroked> Nate sighs and looks to the orange sky "Yeah, I know"
[21:45] <~Kroked> "If I can help, I would."
[21:45] <Luna> "..You already know what iv chosen.. The problem is Eri.. right now in her head were a couple... i cant keep up something like that, not for long atleast.."
[21:46] <~Kroked> "...yeah, I'm not sure exactly how well she'd cope"
[21:47] <Luna> "You ran into her that night right? What was going on? I spoted her in a tree before the whole headbutting thing began and thats about all i remember.."
[21:49] <~Kroked> "...I did'nt exactly help. I'm not very good with words" he says, smiling wryly
[21:49] <~Kroked> "She was in bad shape"
[21:51] <Luna> "If you switch her back to this one.. will she still have all her memories of the last one like i do?"
[21:52] <~Kroked> "...Well... I can erase memories"
[21:54] <Luna> "We cant do that.. its bad enough were switching between sets, to just chop pieces out would be crule"
[21:54] <~Kroked> "...well"
[21:54] <~Kroked> "I do have an idea"
[21:55] <~Kroked> "It's... maybe a little extreme though "
[21:55] <Luna> "Cant hurt to hear it atleast"
[21:56] <~Kroked> "We erase her memories after being attacked by the meragrifo"
[21:56] <~Kroked> "We'll cut it about halfway through, make her think she blacked out"
[21:56] <~Kroked> "Than we'll say I came and saved her"
[21:56] <~Kroked> "That way, at the very least we've bought a lot of time"
[21:58] <Luna> "That still doesnt get rid of the "problem".. you said it yourself, we have a long hard road ahead of us, and stuff like or worse then doombird is gonna crop up.. we cant just erase her memeories each time"
[21:58] <Luna> "...You would need to remove me completly.."
[21:59] <~Kroked> "...No"
[21:59] <~Kroked> "I refuse to do that much"
[21:59] <~Kroked> "Not only would it be difficult to hide that large a hole..."
[21:59] <~Kroked> "But it's just wrong"
[22:00] <Luna> "..Just a suggestion.. it would fix everyhing too.."
[22:01] <~Kroked> "How would you feel if you learned that you once had a good friend, and that someone just erased them from your memory?"
[22:02] <Luna> "I wouldnt know cause they never would of existed.."
[22:03] <~Kroked> "And than what, she doesnt know who you are. what will you do than?"
[22:07] * Luna sighs "No.. this whole mess is just stupid.."
[22:07] <Luna> "How specific can you be with erasing.."
[22:07] <~Kroked> "As specific as I need to be"
[22:07] <Luna> "And is there any chance she could remember the erased fragments? Any at all?"
[22:08] <~Kroked> "Depends on which method I use. If I use the Nona method, none, they won't exist in her mind anymore"
[22:09] <Luna> "I feel a but in there somewhere"
[22:10] <~Kroked> "I need a container, doesnt matter what or the size, I'd take the memories, which come out like this kinda...plasma-ish liquid, and put it in the container"
[22:10] <~Kroked> "After that we can just keep it there, in case we want to give them back"
[22:11] <~Kroked> "...or we empty the container, and the memories are gone for good"
[22:11] <Luna> "And the other methods? Not as fool proof i take it?"
[22:13] <~Kroked> "Yeah, I can erase it, but it's not really... gone. just buried extremely deep. if she see's something that's connected to it, it might come back"
[22:19] <~Kroked> "So yeah, not as fool proof"
[22:24] * Luna sighs
[22:24] <Luna> "Common Nate, lets just bring her back to this one, let things fall where they may."
[22:24] <Luna> "How quickly can you do the switch?"
[22:25] <~Kroked> "It won't take long... but are you sure that's really what you want?"
[22:26] <Luna> "Shes going to be mad for sure... prolly hate me for the rest of her life too, but its better than lieing to her and
having to repeat the whole incident later"
[22:27] <~Kroked> He gives a small nod "Go get her than"
[22:27] <Luna> "This time.. lets just do what you said and give her some space... no hugs, no talks.. just a 'we will be here for her'"
[22:27] <~Kroked> "...yeah"
[22:28] <Luna> "I really hate saying that.."
[22:29] <Luna> "Actually if it makes any difference, can we do it inside?"
[22:29] <~Kroked> Nate shrugs
[22:30] <Luna> "OK, follow close an be ready"
[22:30] * Luna walks back into the hut
[22:31] * Erina has fallen asleep on the new bed, limbs sprawled out and a goofy looking smile on her sleeping face.
[22:32] * Luna sighs "That really doesnt make things any easier"
[22:33] <~Kroked> Nate frowns "This... is gonna suck"
[22:33] <Luna> "Yup, but hey, if things go south shell just try to kill me, itll be alright"
[22:33] * Luna sits on the bed next to Erina
[22:34] * Luna pokes Erina "Wake up my little fluff ball"
[22:36] * Luna shakes Erina alittle to try and wake her up
[22:36] * Erina slowly opens her eyes before bolting upright, "S-sorry! I fell asleep...."
[22:36] <Luna> "Thats alright, do me a favor an sit up will ya"
[22:37] * Erina moves her legs into a sitting position, "What's up? Why do you two look so serious?"
[22:38] * Luna pulls Erina into a hug as soon as she sits up "Nah, everythings going to be alright... Just remember one thing for me alright? We will always be here for you."
[22:39] <Erina> "Why wouldn't you be?"
[22:39] * Luna gives her a final squeeze and then pulls away quickly "Do it Nate"
[22:39] * Erina averts her eyes and begins to turn red, "A-after all, w-we're....."
[22:41] <~Kroked> Nate slowly walks up to Erina and kneels down so he's on eye level "This will only take a moment. When I'm done, I promise I'll leave the hut and leave you alone"
[22:41] <Erina> "W-why?"
[22:41] <Erina> "What are you gonna do?"
[22:41] <Luna> "That wasnt part of the deal.. your not going anywhere"
[22:42] * Erina starts to back up.
[22:42] <~Kroked> he gently grabs her face and touches her forehead to his
[22:42] * Luna gets up and runs for anima, grabbing it and going back to the bed
[22:43] <~Kroked> Erina: roll a pow check
[22:43] <Erina> )roll 1d10+10
[22:43] * Crunk --> "Erina rolls 1d10+10 and gets 12."
[22:44] <~Kroked> Your memories suddenly reshuffle themselves
[22:45] <~Kroked> 2 sets of memories surface, both of them equally real, you know that both of them happened... somehow. And were branched by a specific choice Luna made. she made both choices, you know this somehow. in one choice, she rejected you, yet in another, she accepted you.
[22:45] <~Kroked> It's a strange sence of... synchronicity
[22:46] <~Kroked> like being 2 people who are the same person
[22:46] <~Kroked> Nate gets up, and leaves
[22:46] <Luna> "Nate..wait"
[22:46] <~Kroked> "I'm just giving her space"
[22:47] * Erina freezes as she starts to remember, before trying to escape through the window, tears streaming down her face once again.
[22:47] <Luna> "...Just stay close by atleast.. please"
[22:47] <~Kroked> Erina: roll a dex check
[22:47] <Erina> )roll 1d10+10
[22:47] * Crunk --> "Erina rolls 1d10+10 and gets 13."
[22:48] <~Kroked> you can't squeeze through
[22:49] * Luna tears streaming down her face "Eri.. Wait.. here" stretches out her hands with anima in them "I know now you just want some time... just please remember, ill always be here if you need me"
[22:49] * Erina says nothing as she stops trying to squeeze through the window and runs out the door.
[22:50] <~Kroked> Erina: you do so
[22:51] <Luna> "Eri please.. dont leave without your sword.. dont go out there unarmed.. you dont have to go at all you know"
[22:51] * Erina takes off heading for the tree they found Nate in.
[22:52] <~Kroked> you do so, it takes you a bit, but you make it there
[22:53] * Erina remains there in silence staring at the sky intending to stay there for the next few hours.
[22:53] <~Kroked> Luna: do you do anything of note?
[22:54] * Luna leaves anima by the inside wall next to the door and curls up in a ball in a corner of the hut
[22:55] <~Kroked> 3 hours pass and the sky grows dark
[22:56] * Erina sighs before flying back to the village, intending to sleep on a random roof on the opposite side of the village.
[22:57] <~Kroked> you do so

~Pause~

[20:10] <~Kroked> Erina: you wake up to the morning sun on your face
[20:12] <~Kroked> at first you don't know why you are here, and than it all comes rushing back
[20:12] <Erina> "R-right.......I ran out on them after...."
[20:12] * Erina goes silent for a bit.
[20:13] <Erina> "R-right...I need to go see the blacksmith. I don't think I can focus much today."
[20:14] * Erina makes her way off the roof and heads to the smith to cancel her lesson for today.
[20:15] <~Kroked> you do so, he asks why you are canceling
[20:15] <Erina> "I had a rough night......I don't think I can focus at all today....And there's something I need to do."
[20:16] <~Kroked> "Well.. I spose if you're sure. You rest up now."
[20:16] <Erina> "I'm so sorry, cancelling like this after asking you to teach me, but it's really important."
[20:17] <~Kroked> "It's fine, I understand, sometimes, there are just things a person's gotta do"
[20:17] <~Kroked> "You go now, I'll still be here tomorrow"
[20:18] <Erina> "Thank you, I'll see you then."
[20:18] * Erina leaves, slowly walking away while looking for Nate.
[20:19] <~Kroked> he doesn't seem to be in the village
[20:19] <~Kroked> maybe he's out in the jungle?
[20:20] * Erina takes flight and tries to search for him using her Soul vision in the jungle.
[20:20] <~Kroked> you do so, and eventually, you find his soul... but it's odd
[20:21] <~Kroked> there is another next to him, a person with a soul as bright as his
[20:21] * Erina lands next to the two.
[20:21] <~Kroked> it too is only a shard
[20:21] <Erina> "N-Nate......I need a favor."
[20:22] <~Kroked> You land to find nate... and a woman
[20:22] <Lucy> "Oh! Hey Erina."
[20:22] <~Kroked> Lucy: describe yourself
[20:25] <Lucy> Lucy is roughly 5'5", with long, red hair tied into a braid. Oddly enough, her clothes seem to be... exactly the same as Nate's, down to the same scratches and nicks that he has gotten while journeying with you. While she doesn't have the same giant blade on her back, she does have an obvious kusarigama holstered at her waist.
[20:26] <Erina> "Uh, um hi?......"
[20:26] <~Kroked> "This is a... acquaintance, of mine, Lucy"
[20:27] * Lucy waves
[20:27] <~Kroked> "Doesn't matter, what do you need?
[20:27] <Lucy> "Don't worry, I've only been watching some of your travels."
[20:27] <Erina> "Nice to meet you."
[20:27] <Erina> "Nate, you can mess with memories.....right?"
[20:28] <~Kroked> "...I can"
[20:28] <~Kroked> "...before you say anything else"
[20:28] <~Kroked> "I want you to think about what you're about to ask"
[20:29] <~Kroked> "Messing with memories is... a very very big thing"
[20:29] <~Kroked> "Removing a persons memories is like killing who they've become"
[20:30] * Lucy silently watches, resting her arms behind her
[20:31] <~Kroked> "Is that really what you want?"
[20:31] <Erina> "I....I've been thinking about it since I ran away."
[20:32] <Erina> "I'm sure....I just.......need to say my goodbyes..."
[20:32] * Erina looks down for a bit.
[20:33] <Erina> "D-do you have a pen and some paper?"
[20:34] <Lucy> "Do you need all of the memories taken?"
[20:34] <~Kroked> Nate glances at Lucy
[20:34] <~Kroked> "... I do, but are you really sure?"
[20:35] <Erina> "I've got a story that I'd probably believe....but I need you to take away everything past the gate incident away forever..."
[20:35] * Lucy glares at Nate, as if insinuating something
[20:37] <~Kroked> "...are you sure? Everyone has heartbreak Erina. I'm sure, if you gave it time..."
[20:40] <Erina> "Everyone may have it and everyone may deal with it differently....but I just keep hurting myself and others with this....I'm being nothing but a coward that's hurting the ones around her, but with this I can hopefully make up for it and try to go back to how things were. I've made up my mind....So please...."
[20:40] <~Kroked> "..." nate sighs sadly "If you're really sure"
[20:42] <~Kroked> "Just know, you can't always run from your problems, and I won't always be aound... but, if you're really sure"
[20:43] <~Kroked> "Let's go to the village and get you some paper"
[20:43] <Erina> "Please....Just this once....Let me think this is all a nightmare that will fade when I wake up.."
[20:43] <~Kroked> Nate begins walking
[20:43] * Erina follows closely
[20:44] * Lucy follows alongside Erina
[20:44] <~Kroked> after awhile, you reach the village, which has started to become active, nate goes to the elder, and comes back with some paper, and a rudimentary pencil
[20:45] * Lucy sighs.
[20:45] * Erina thanks Nate as she takes the pencil and paper and finds a place to write.
[20:46] * Lucy slides next to Nate, to talk more privately with him.
[20:46] <~Kroked> you write on the bench next to the elder's hut
[20:47] * Erina tears up as she writes one letter to herself, then another to Luna.
[20:48] * Erina gets up slowly as she finishes the second one, "There....everything's ready."
[20:49] <Erina> "Nate....I'm ready."
[20:52] * Lucy sighs.
[20:52] <Lucy> "I stand by my statement from before."
[20:53] <~Kroked> Nate shakes his head and turns to Erina "You're sure?"
[20:53] <Erina> "Um...Lucy was it? Can you take this to Luna? She needs to read it before I get back there."
[20:53] * Erina holds out one of the letters, now folded up.
[20:54] <~Kroked> Nate takes carefully
[20:59] <Erina> "N-Nate...there's one last thing..."
[20:59] <Erina> "I know it's selfish, but before you go I want you to promise me one last thing."
[21:00] <~Kroked> "Anything you want"
[21:00] <Erina> "Don't leave."
[21:00] <Erina> "Every time you do it just tears her up inside....and though I may be gone soon, I don't want her to go through that again."
[21:00] <~Kroked> "...I...I'll try not to"
[21:01] <Erina> "Don't tell me you'll try...I want you to promise me that unless the universe itself depends on it, you won't leave."
[21:02] <Erina> "Please...."
[21:44] <Lucy> "Don't worry. He's not going anywhere."
[21:44] <Lucy> "Now that I'm here, he's all in."
[21:44] <~Kroked> Nate sighs
[21:44] <~Kroked> "You heard her"
[21:44] * Lucy giggles at Nate's sigh
[21:44] <Erina> "Thank you....."
[21:44] <~Kroked> "I'm in for the long haul."
[21:45] <Erina> "For the letters, Luna needs to read hers before I get back...And I need to read mines as soon as I wake up..."
[21:45] <~Kroked> nate reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box, like the ones you put rings in
[21:46] <~Kroked> "Lay down on the bench"
[21:46] * Erina does so
[21:49] * Erina closes her eyes and begins to smile as a few remaining tears roll down the side of her face.
[21:50] <~Kroked> Nate gently touches a hand to Erina's forehead
[21:50] <~Kroked> and everything goes black
[21:50] * Erina mouths a final thank you at Nate
[21:51] <~Kroked> you sleep for a time.

~Pause~

[21:52] <~Kroked> Luna: you awoke some time ago, but have been unable to muster the will to move
[21:52] <~Kroked> you hear someone enter the hut
[21:54] * Luna stays silent as she stares at something in her hand
[21:54] <~Kroked> "Luna" Says a familliar voice
[21:54] <~Kroked> "We need to talk"
[21:55] <~Kroked> he sounds... very sad, more sad than you've ever heard him
[21:57] <Luna> "..No.. no more talking.. all i wanted to do was help, thats all i ever wanted... and look where it got us. Two or who knows how many timelines that iv personaly fucked up... Ill just stop"
[21:58] <~Kroked> "...Erina came to find me"
[21:59] <~Kroked> "She... had a favor to ask me"
[21:59] <Luna> "..id attack you after all this too, but since your here im assuming she either gave up or you knocked her out"
[22:00] <~Kroked> he silently hands you a letter
[22:00] <~Kroked> http://pastebin.com/Jsd9VyPs
[22:00] <Luna> "..Do i even want to know what this is.."
[22:01] <~Kroked> "It's better you see it in her words, rather than hear it in mine"
[22:01] <Luna> "...what did you do"
[22:01] <~Kroked> "Just... read it"
[22:02] * Luna weakly reaches up for the letter and opens it infront of her
[22:03] <~Kroked> Nate waits silently as you read
[22:05] * Lucy , from outside the door, yells "Comfort her!"
[22:06] <~Kroked> Nate kinda jumps and fidgets
[22:07] <~Kroked> Nate kinda... awkardly sits next to Luna, and wraps an arm around her
[22:07] * Luna with tears streaming down her face brings into view whats in her right hand, her white dagger
[22:08] <~Kroked> Nate's eye's widen, and grabs it away from her lightly
[22:08] * Luna smiles weakly"... its been fun nate... it really has been"
[22:08] <~Kroked> "No, it still will be"
[22:08] <Luna> "Damnit just let me do this"
[22:09] <~Kroked> "No, you wouldn't let me, and I sure as hell won't let you"
[22:09] <Luna> "Iv hurt her so deeply that she would litteraly just kill herself to get away from me"
[22:09] <Luna> "...its better this way.. you get to be left alone, she gets to do what she wants without me bugging her... itll be fine"
[22:09] <~Kroked> "No!"
[22:10] <~Kroked> "I don't... I don't want to be alone"
[22:10] <~Kroked> "And it would break her heart to wake up, and you be gone"
[22:11] <Luna> "Convient time to start careing... and did you forget, i always have more weapons"
[22:11] * Luna reaches to her right and draws her other dagger
[22:11] <Luna> "Now please.. just stop"

[22:11] <~Kroked> "Never"

[22:13] <Luna> "Everything.. all of it, that iv done just ends horrible.. itll be better this way.."
[22:14] <Luna> "because of me you almost died, because of me eri is gone.."
[22:14] <Luna> "Just leave me alone.."
[22:14] <~Kroked> "I will never die Luna, and god dammit, if i have to, I'll make sure you won't either, I'll find away"
[22:16] <Luna> "Ya.. wont that be great, go on forever fucking up one life after another.. sounds like the best.. just go away and let me do this"
[22:16] <~Kroked> "If you were in my place, would you? Would just stop, and watch someone you love end themselves?"
[22:19] * Luna doesnt anwser and keeps struggleing to get her hand free
[22:20] <~Kroked> Luna: roll a str or agi check

[22:21] * Crunk --> "Luna rolls 1d10+10 agi and gets 20."
[22:22] <~Kroked> You cannot break Nate's iron grip
[22:23] <~Kroked> "You will make it through this"
[22:23] <~Kroked> "I'll be right there to help you"
[22:23] <Luna> "THATS THE SAME THING WE SAID ABOUT ERI"
[22:23] <Luna> "JUST LET ME GO"
[22:24] <~Kroked> Nate grabs you and pulls you into a hug, "Never"
[22:26] * Luna tries to push away "Stop, stop pretending just for me, we both know you just want to run away, eris already ran away herself, let me do the same.."
[22:26] <~Kroked> "nate grabs you and looks you directly in the eyes
[22:27] <~Kroked> "I am not pretending. I won't run anymore, I'm done. It would hurt to much. I can't leave you"

[22:29] <~Kroked> "And I don't care if you love me back"
[22:29] <~Kroked> "I'm not leaving you"

[22:30] <~Kroked> "I can't help it Luna. I just can't. so please... don't do this."
[22:31] * Luna lets both knives fall to the floor "...Just stop... please let me go"
[22:32] <~Kroked> "Nate brings you to his chest and hugs you tightly "No, I will never let you go, and that's a promise"
[22:34] * Luna starts to cry hysterically, tears flooding without end now
[22:34] <Luna> "S Stahp... just sSstop.."

[22:35] * Luna continues to cry, giving up on words
[22:36] <~Kroked> Nate just holds you, and continues to do so for as long as it takes
[22:42] * Luna tears start to slow and she reaches a shakey hand into her tunic pocket. Pulling out Erinas ring.
[22:42] <Luna> "..Where is she.. i have to give it back or shell think she lost it.."
[22:43] <~Kroked> he shakes his head "Keep it. her letter says she gave it to you as a friendship ring"
[22:44] <Luna> "..No it doesnt.. i have that letter memorized.. i dont deserve one of these anyways"
[22:44] <~Kroked> "Not your letter"
[22:44] <~Kroked> "She made one for herself"
[22:45] <~Kroked> "She thinks you deserve it. You should honor that"
[22:45] <Luna> "Dont make me keep this too.."
[22:46] <~Kroked> "It would only hurt her to give it back"
[22:47] <Luna> ...ill just.. hide it somewhere... i cant keep this, i cant""
[22:48] <~Kroked> Nate hugs you tighter "I know it's hard"
[22:50] * Luna leans into the hug, resistance slowly leaving her body
