GM - Onyx

[dramatispersonae]

The room is like any other room, really—a cabin with a door, and windows, and beds. But the fireplace never gets warm, and the beds are hard, and the air is cold.

(Is it familiar, this place? It's hard to tell . . .)

On the table there is food—water, and dry bread, and there is a pot of stew that always stays warm, and full, and smells delicious.

There are also five cards, waiting for your decision.

[full instructions, of which your characters will be ICly aware of the pertinent details]

[this is a placeholder for finger cutting off.

... which is to say, at some point, Silver approaches the dark cards.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[madeofsilver]

You're ready?

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

As ready as I will be.

[takes a deep breath, and... actually how to approach this. considers for a moment, and then touches the card with his left pinkie finger.

which is promptly severed from his hand and disappears.

Silver chokes back a scream, pounding the table with his uninjured fist.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[madeofsilver]

[closes her eyes and feels her body jar at the scream. focus on this, Sasuke said. focus.]

Hey—hey! Look at me. Look.

[hurrying over, leaning down a bit to look at his face.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

[he's got his eyes closed, and he's gritting his teeth, but he briefly opens them to glance at her. he seems... fine other than, you know, the pain and bleeding, which is a thing.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[madeofsilver]

[she leans forward immediately with a piece of sheet to stop the blood.]

Hey, so ...

[steadying her voice and taking a breath.]

Um, we haven't really talked a lot.

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

[manages a gasping laugh, which trails off into a hiss of pain.]

Y-yeah.

Re: DISCUSSION

[madeofsilver]

Can you tell me a little bit about the place you come from?

[talking is helping her as much as she tries to help him, anyway. while she's trying to still the bleeding, she turns his wrist upward carefully.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

[it's nice to not have to do your own trauma first aid for once.]

M'not sure where to start... other than Pokémon.

Re: DISCUSSION

[madeofsilver]

[thank Zazzle later for the skill.]

... Poke mans?

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

The... creatures. That I usually have with me...

Re: DISCUSSION

[madeofsilver]

[winces a bit and holds pressure, her focus keeping and the tension slowly leaving.]

What kind of creatures? I mean, there are all different kinds here ...

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

Feraligatr, Sneasel, Murkrow, Rosario... they're not like Aather animals. ... well. Rosario is. Kind of.

[his words are short and sentences choppy, and he seems to trying to focus on getting his breathing under control.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[madeofsilver]

[you focus on that, bro. she seems to have gotten herself under control and has steadied her own breath. her movements are precise.]

Rosario?

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

I caught him... here. In one of Mira's games.

Re: DISCUSSION

[madeofsilver]

[for now she's finding a way to keep the pressure, and tying it tightly with a few of the bandages.]

How are you feeling?

[searching his face for any signs of shock.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

... like my finger got cut off. I'll... be okay.

[he looks pale and pained, but he's getting his breathing and nerves under control.]
