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.]

[He's watching.]

[karlsefni]

[ you're an asshole, you know that?

he takes a while, but eventually loki takes pity on him and gives him fire!! probably!!! offering the firestick to ]

Hold this.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[See, Loki does like you. You should be friends.]

[Taking it.]

[karlsefni]

[ maybe i'll think about it when i get out of this hellforest ]

[ . . . . . sighs why do i have to do this

taking the hem of his shirt, tearing into it unsteadily until he has a long strip of cloth to bandage himself with. makeshift first aid!! (it looks so bad and sloppy, this is also a skill that padded my registry.) ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[You and your registry.]

[Another sigh.]

[karlsefni]

You know, it'd help if I knew just what you were sighing about.

[wouldntkilladragon]

What are you trying to do?

[karlsefni]

Stop the bleeding.

[wouldntkilladragon]

With one good hand?

[karlsefni]

Yeah.

[wouldntkilladragon]

Why?

[karlsefni]

Are you asking why I'm not asking you to help? Because I made this injury myself, is why.

[wouldntkilladragon]

But you did consider the fact you could ask?

[karlsefni]

It crossed my mind, yeah.

[ . . . this needs to be tightened :|a ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Looking at the injury.] So why you got to take care of it yourself?

[karlsefni]

Because I don't like you. [ simply, and craning his neck a bit to bite down on part of the fabric, tugging it tighter with his other hand. ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

Because that's smart.

[karlsefni]

I can do it myself without your help, and I don't want to ask for help from someone I don't like anyway.

[ when he's done, he's going to take the firestick back. ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

Always?

[karlsefni]

[ . . . debating the answer for this. . . ]

If I have a choice in the matter.

[wouldntkilladragon]

And if you didn't?

[karlsefni]

Then I have no choice, I'll have to ask, so what? It's not something I can't bend on.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Pause. Then smiles slightly.]

Interesting.

[karlsefni]

Really now. [ bending over to pick his jacket up '-' ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Shrugs.] Some people would let anger get in the way.
