Leif - Earth Stone

[the_last]

[As soon as Leif chomps on the fruit, he will experience sudden disorientation, as if suddenly unfamiliar with being inside his body, perhaps not even knowing why he is there or who he is. It lasts for but a moment and then slowly fades... He will suddenly find himself in a place that seems unusually quiet and gray, as though the color were stolen but there remains just enough to suggest that things have been greatly subdued. There are also about three spots in the distance that seem to almost glow with gentle hues of color, soft and welcoming. Too bad, they seem much too far away to reach.

Within the gray is an expansive forest of every tree imaginable and dry, brittle grass that extends to mid-calf. Here and there, one might even spot some faded prints left upon the ground. The sky is equally gray, although not one cloud can be seen. But a dark mist seems to swirl around the forest, not too thick but clearly present.]

Yeah. So now we have light. Now what?

[karlsefni]

[ pursing his lips as he looks around, torchthing following to give him light. ]


I dunno.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[SIGH]

[karlsefni]

Is that seriously all you came here to do? Sigh at me every time I open my mouth!?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Apparently.

I honestly expected better of you.

[karlsefni]

[ .. dhdbdbdfddjj ]

You--I'm trying, I told you! Just what the fuck else are you expecting!?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Being capable.

[karlsefni]

--[ yes please hit my uselessness buttons harder ] I am capable--maybe you shouldn't have come in the first place!

[wouldntkilladragon]

You don't look real capable right now.

[karlsefni]

[ just snorts ]

You, stay here. I'm going walking again.

[wouldntkilladragon]

Just gonna abandon me then?

[karlsefni]

[ . . . . did you just ]

[ really ]

To what? This is my quest, the persona doesn't like violence, and you're near the only other light source here.

[wouldntkilladragon]

It's not the violence you have to worry about, remember?

[karlsefni]

Then what do you have to worry about here?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Depends. What do you have to worry about?

[karlsefni]

[ . . . no i don't want any of this nonanswer bullshit anymore i'm sick of it ]

Look, this is the only place that's got light for sure, so it's the only place that's safe right now. And I'm not just going to leave you here—I'm coming back, I just need to look around.

[wouldntkilladragon]

...if you insist.

[karlsefni]

[ . . . pauses, giving you a bit of a look before turning on his heel to leave. i must goooooo crush my inadequacy feelings so you stop affecting me so much ]
