Taisuke's heart

[dramatispersonae]

There's something humming inside of you, a strange new power etches itself into your heart, something you can't quite sense what it is but can feel it's importance. An endless sea of stars stretches before you, shining brightly, but despite the beauty of the scene there's a yearning deep in your gut. You need to go, you need more, you need to move. As if in answer, one light shines brightly in the distance and calls you forward, blinding you as you reach towards it--

[ WHOA NOT AS INTENDED ]

You should really know better!

[Nope the screaming is still there, angrier this time, and coming from farther away, it's on the move.]

[divinewisdom]

[ Then she's letting go and immediately following that noise. ]

Come back!

...Hello?

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

Hey. It's Annabeth. Where are you going?

Re: The other half of the story

[heroic_homemaker]

Annabeth... help...

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

Where are you? I'll help you. Tell me what to do.

Re: The other half of the story

[heroic_homemaker]

Help!

[It's not moving anymore, it doesn't sound too far away.]

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

[heroic_homemaker]

[I'M BLEEDING FROM MY EVERYWHERE]

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

[ D: OH NO ]

Fire!

[ what even what. what!! ]

What happened -- hold on-- [ I will rip my awful wonderland shirt into bandages '-' ]

Re: The other half of the story

[heroic_homemaker]

[Grabs her wrist, squeezing tight. His legs are bent at odd angles, his arms practically shredded, there are lines of deep scars over his cheek spreading down to his neck and it looks like something ripped a hole in his chest.]

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

[ She's stopped, then-- instead she tries to look into his eyes, steadying herself mentally. But it's clear she's angry that this happened in the first place. ]

Who did this to you? ...what caused this?

Re: The other half of the story

[heroic_homemaker]

Messing with hearts... is a really stupid idea.

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

[ she hesitates, then nods. ]

It is. I didn't know I was going to hurt you. That any of this was going to happen.

Re: The other half of the story

[heroic_homemaker]

I know, nobody meant to, but... Damn it. Can you help me up?

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

Sure.

[ Supporting him and helping him to his feet, then. ]

Is there anything else I can do?

Re: The other half of the story

[heroic_homemaker]

[Cries out, standing on those legs hurts, but he's trying to stumble forward.]

We need to get up there- He's killing them!

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

I'm going to carry you. We won't make it any other way, and I don't want to hurt you any more.

Re: The other half of the story

[heroic_homemaker]

Ah... Thanks. [No time to argue, leaning against her :(]

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

[ HUP she tries to be as gentle as possible while picking him up. once he's safe, she sets off in the direction he indicated. ]

Who's he?

Re: The other half of the story

[heroic_homemaker]

[Winces]

I don't know. I can't remember yet, something bad. He was supposed to be locked up but they let him out and he... They gave him one of these. [Holds out a hand with one of the booster seeds in it, it's black and embedded in his palm, thick black veins spreading out and into his skin.]

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

I have those too, but I'm not sure where to put them. I want to see what we're up against before I figure it out.

Can that...get taken out?

Re: The other half of the story

[heroic_homemaker]

[Shakes his head] I need it still. We need to move. I can't see where the exit is, do... Do you think you can boost this room?

Re: The other half of the story

[divinewisdom]

Sure. But where? In the waves?

I just want to make sure I'm helping, not hurting you.
