Who: All the good little anti-entropy engine girls and boys and others
Where: On the way back towards the dorms
When: Day 258, evening, so very shortly after Good Ends
What:

[As the festivities end and it’s time to head back to dorms, there seems to hang an uneasy feeling that has nothing to do with bittersweet goodbyes. The particularly astute may notice an uncomfortable stillness about; not a living thing is out and active, save the Blanks. Even the river seems stilled, as if holding its breath. The more sensitive can probably feel it coming, whatever it is. Even the insensitive may find something about the walk home distasteful.]

Remember the "Pillar" I told you about? And the ground eating people? It's called the Old Man.

[r-rubs head]

The area we're in now, well, other blanks used to live here. Aside from the few that might have 'won', they were all taken by it. It's trying to do the same.

. . .

And er. Our patron sort of "took" Quartz. As a precaution. Ha. . .

W-wait, what?! What do you mean she took Quartz?!

She was scared he'd get swallowed up so she took him back to her realm in a fit of a paranoia.

Er. . .crazy as she is, he's safe there. We used to have another team member that went to go stay with her too. But yeah. [tired hand wave]

........Badger I know I've said it before, but.... you're really calm about something like this......

Re: [ just outside Monodorms ]

[identity profile] lawfulreception.insanejournal.com 2011-08-02 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not calm at all, actually. I'm just trying very, very hard not to scream at the top of my lungs and completely freak out.

Did you know the entire time I've been here, only one Monoceros has ever won? One! And I've seen at least seven teammates either be taken by the Foreman or another Judge, or the Pillar. Who knows how many left before I even got here. The ones that go with the Foreman are turned into ants by the way. I have a co-worker here who is currently a giant ant.

So in the midst of all this, j-just trying to keep my cool.

Sorry. Sorry, I should've guessed as much.

[moving into the dorms]

You don't have anything to apologize for. I guess I just don't want the rest of the team to start believing "damn, we really are going to die here" even if it the evidence for it is piling up.

...are we really gonna...? Just like that? Can't we do anything?

Re: [ just outside Monodorms ]

I honestly don't know. My hope is all of you will win before we get hit by something worse.

How come you're not including yourself in that?

Re: [ just outside Monodorms ]

[identity profile] lawfulreception.insanejournal.com 2011-08-02 05:46 am (UTC)(link)


A-ah, sorry. I am definitely including myself! But I wouldn't be a proper defense attorney if I didn't put you guys as a priority.

But believe me, if I had a chance, I'd take it no questions asked.

[ unnnnsure :|a ]

So... we've gotta try harder than ever to win. Right?

Ah. . .mm. Keep recovering your past. That's all you can do right now.

Fuck, this is seriously messed up...

Re: [ just outside Monodorms ]

[identity profile] lawfulreception.insanejournal.com 2011-08-02 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeees, yes it is.

But try not to think too hard about it. Definitely be aware, but it's not going to help if you hype up your paranoia.

Re: [ just outside Monodorms ]

[identity profile] flamerunner.insanejournal.com 2011-08-02 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
But... is it really paranoia if there really is something to it?

Re: [ just outside Monodorms ]

[identity profile] lawfulreception.insanejournal.com 2011-08-02 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
. . .no, I suppose it's not.
