The Bookwyrm he/him Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) 56 minutes ago, CalanoCorvus said: Far away, in the Limbo of a Mind, the negative thoughts of Emma turn into whispers for Calano's aching soul. And he sobs anew, for it hurts to feel his love's hurt. It hurts to see and feel and know that the one he loves is in pain. He grips his head, muttering, and the darkness looms in the dilapidated house. This ever familiar, ever present house. The house where it began, and the house where it ended, only for a new story to begin. 1 hour ago, The Wandering Wizard said: Emma recalls Nameless's words and they feel hollow, laughable, an excuse to kill the chickens. It would be better if I just fell off and did nothing. No one is left who truely knows me. That thing is an abomination to Calano's memory, his memory is gone, my memories are corrupted, and all shall be dust in time, except me, always me left, Left to pick up the pieces To drown in sorrow I can not have peace There is never a tomorrow. Bookwyrm sighs. She isn't going to listen. I can't...wait. Subtly and secretly, Bookwyrm reaches out to the minds of Calano and Emma. Sneaking past any mental defenses he encounters, he forges a temporary connection to each of them, letting him hear their thoughts and feelings. Then, using his own powers and mind as a conduit, he forges a connection between the two of them. He lets the deepest thoughts of their sorrow flow into each other, lets them feel and understand each other. He forges the connection neither of them are able to make, and gives them full access to each other's minds. Then, once the connection between them is solid, he exits their minds, leaving the two of them alone in their deepest thoughts together. Let's hope this works.

Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Thaidakar stood in a dark suit, his face oddly grimmer than ever before. His shadowed eyes glimmered in the dim light of the room. Across from him was a black pedestal with a red orb on it. Thaidakar hummed softly, whispering came from the orb as he hummed. It was almost time to do it. Almost. But not yet. He just had to be patient. Ever patient. Everyone would rise to their positions quite nicely... and Lark- Lark would finally realize what'd been going on under his nose. Thaidakar smiled thoughtfully, this is the beginning of something grand... Quote Thaidakar Villain arc is a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Limbo of a Mind, Calano's aching soul feels the sorrow and guilt of Emma. He was ready for it, he had already felt some degree of it. The connection between the two was still there, just weakened so much to the point of breaking. He now feels the brunt of Emma's pain, and screams out in anguish and sorrow. The whispers quiet, blessedly, and the silence combined with the sudden onslaught of pain cause Calano to stop crying. Grief stricken, with bloodshot eyes, Calano sits in his Limbo, in this dark, empty, dilapidated house. And he is numb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmulatonStromenkiin he/him Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Random Fellow flares up, and wakes. Sensing a shift in possibility and cognitive reality, he looks and finds an incredibly strong bond of mental connection, forming a semi-dreamspace. He shifted, and watched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Lark stood back, watching the connection form with bated breath, seeing Calano's reaction. Would it work? Would they bear their grief together, or destroy each other in it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something not dead, but not completely alive either. The spells that hold me together come unbound in the astral realm." "You're different than me. 'Fraid I've got to go." The white tiger gets up and runs towards Emma, stalking her. 57 minutes ago, The Bookwyrm said: Bookwyrm sighs. She isn't going to listen. I can't...wait.

That wasn't a good idea, you are probably going to get more volcanoes dropped on you than she-I dropped on me. This link is interferring with my thoughts. The white tiger's tail smacks Emma in the face and his tail caresses Emma's face. This is not the end. Emma shrieks and falls unconcious. The white tiger catches Emma and pulls her towards the center of the top and curls up next to her, entering the shared mindspace, following Emma as she falls along the link, towards Calano. "Hello there Calano." Says Wizard as he lands inside the house. Edited September 30, 2022 by The Wandering Wizard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medium he/they Posted September 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Calano looks up with bloodshot eyes. "Wizard." He croaks. "How. I don't know anymore. I don't know what to do. I'm stuck here." He takes a shaky breath and looks down at the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranryu she/her Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 The fire had been fun. A fleeting, ephemeral joy. But, as all fires did, the library fire had eventually burned out. Now Ranryu was left feeling empty, in need of something to do. Her family had settled into their new lives quietly, without much trouble or attention. They would be fine if she left for a few days. The portal was made of ashes and broken pencils. The beings on the other side were expecting her. I'm here to make a deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookwyrm he/him Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Bookwyrm had lost contact with Wizard. If the three of them are in Calano's mindspace right now...Emma is now face to face with the two who were most dear to her...and the two she lost. We'll see how this goes... Bookwyrm took out the Purple that Calano had given him. It's no Spice Melange, but...this is the only clue I have as to what exactly happened to Calano between his death and reappearance. I should research it's properties. Or ask Calano about it directly, but...he's busy right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
