Dark stone makes up the walls of this small cool room, and they tremble faintly as if afflicted with some terrible noise or nearby conflict.

CHALLENGE

[dramatispersonae]

[ The rose suddenly breaks free of the stone; it is now a real flower. An aura of magic hovers around the petals, more powerful than before. You have the sense that by touching it, every person present may impart it with a fear to be shared amongst the entire team. In fact, that's what you'll need to do. ]

Oh, that is very different.

I will still share first, unless you would rather share first yourself. It may be that you fear this very thing as well, or you may not.

[highflyin]

Er, no, you can go first, I don't mind.

SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[Maitimo is going to share a fear of death: of a life that should not be ended, gone in an instant, of immortality stripped away by brutal violence, of the Darkness covering the world and leaving behind only empty husks-- or bodies withered into ash-- that were once the Firstborn of Eru Ilúvatar.

…so, death.]

Re: SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[ Just kinda nodding. ]

I died once. It's actually not so bad, once you get past the pain and you're actually dead. It's the dying part that sucks.

Re: SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[yoloath]

[he laughs a little breathlessly.]

You died and yet still you stand before me?

Re: SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[highflyin]

Yep! Aather's kind of a bitch like that. Not that I don't mind the second chance, but you know, would have probably been better if I stayed dead.

Hell, if I tried to go back I bet I'd be dead all over again. I think I'm most likely stuck here for good.

Re: SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[yoloath]

[he makes a distressed noise, which… well, it comes out as an unhappy quack.]

Then I am glad for your second chance, though not the circumstances of your stay here. And I am sorry if indeed I brought unpleasant memories to the surface.

Re: SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[highflyin]

Nah, they aren't that unpleasant. Trust me, I think some of my memories of being alive are more painful than the one of me dying.

Anyway, guess that makes it my turn?

Re: SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[yoloath]

Yes, I believe it is.

[ Trisha shares a general fear of being abandoned or unloved. It seemed to have started with abandonment issues in his childhood, but seems to have persisted all the way into his adult life. Even here in Aather he seems to have problems believing that people care about him. ]

Re: SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[yoloath]

[he makes a soft, squeaky duck noise. he sounds subdued:]

Oh… I thank you for your trust in sharing that.

Re: SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[highflyin]

I wouldn't have anything else to share anyway.

Re: SHARE THE FEARS & REACT

[yoloath]

In that case, may it be a good thing that you fear so little.

[ At last, you return to your original bodies...or do you? You may have a few lingering mementoes for a few hours...such as stubby little downy wings and webbed feet. To endgame! ]
