Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[But man there's so much of it.]

[The thing on the other side is your body though. So that might be distracting. Leaned against the fountain, slumped over, very dead.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[You know it should probably be more distracting than it is... but blood. NO NO NO! Need to figure out why Shark thinks about him dying (BESIDES THE OBVIOUS). So yes, checking out his dead body is a GO!]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[Man there are birds twittering and this is a beautiful garden. Except for the blood and your corpse. Which, looks untouched but pale and very lifeless. If you touch it you get a sense of shock and sadness.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[Lifting head up at that.]

... You don't have to worry about me, Shark-san.

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[There's no reply, just that persisting sense of pain.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[Frowns at that.

You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to do the SUPER SAFE thing and head back to the fountain to dip a hand in the blood. GOOD DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[You. You keep riding these good choices Thorn!!]

[You dip your hand in the blood, it's. Well, the consistency and feeling of blood. The smell and it's all over your hands and--this was probably not a good idea not only because you and blood though. You feel an overwhelming sense of fear and anger.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[BUT I REALLY WANT TO DRINK IT. :((( I-I guess the fear/anger is cancelling that out enough to make him recoil though!]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[You can try, but the blood is still on your hand and I mean it's blood, I bet it still smells super appealing.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[W-Will probably chomp fang into lip and suck on that and try very hard not to LICK HAND. And idk wipe hand across shirt or something.

Going back to the flowers. MAYBE THEY CAN BE DECENT DISTRACTIONS. A-And probably a bit dizzy. GOD I WANT TO DRINK FROM THE FOUNTAIN!!!!]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[It's behind you, splashing with blood, a burbling fountainful.]

[The roses and flowers are pretty though. Do you touch them?]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[Touch. Stumble groggily against. It's all the same thing really.]

Nnnnngh...

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[This might help? You feel... Protected. Safe even. This is Shark's feelings about you. Trust and warmth.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[W-Wow that was unexpected...]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[Thorns wrap around you without scratching you, as if trying to protect you.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[Touching thorns lightly, a bit reverently as his affinity kicks in.]

... you really think I need to be protected, Shark-san? I guess I still need to work better at taking care of myself.

[Then glancing around the garden to see if there's anything else of note, pointedly keeping gaze AWAY FROM THE FOUNTAIN, though there might be a slight tremble of tension.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[The vines wind up over your arms and torso, magically harmless, leafy and comforting.]

[There's the gazebo and the path wanders further into the garden, into some trees and by the little brook.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[I like my comforting thorns. :( But should probably check out that brook so pulling away carefully...]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[Most of them retreat but some of them break off and twine around your head and neck.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[... Decorative... ?

Glancing into that brook. :|a]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[A crown of Thorns, ah ha ha. No but they do still feel alive and not hurty.]

[It looks pretty and actually like it's made of. You know. Water.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[I like things that are actually made of WATER. Considering touching it but before that!

Time to check in with Dragonfly.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[The brook burbles as you text.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[hunting]

[Finishing his text with Dragonfly and actually having second thoughts about that water, as he remember what brought them down here in the first place. Instead! Let's check out a willow. And by check out, this probably means touching.]

Re: The Forgotten Garden

[dramatispersonae]

[A memory of this conversation as you revive painfully nearby. Guiltguiltguiltguilt pain grief.]
