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.]

....

[Looking down.]

Except you would stab yourself to not hurt me.

[karlsefni]

[ snorts ]

I'm just going by what you said. That's why I said, don't misunderstand.

[wouldntkilladragon]

And yet we're still here.

So it's not good enough.

[karlsefni]

[ maybe i shouldn't have stabbed myself so deeply, there is a lot of blood here. looking down at his bloody hand. ]

Great.

[wouldntkilladragon]

So what will you do now?

[karlsefni]

[ pass out maybe ]

Dunno. Too bad, I can't use a knife with my left hand.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Walking over.]

[Picking up the knife.]

[karlsefni]

[ . . .

i'm really going to hate what happens next aren't i

watching, with. . . a wince. . . . . but otherwise cool face. ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Fuck yeah you are.]

[Shoving the hilt into his left hand and then putting it up to his neck.]

You don't need to be that strong for the neck.

[karlsefni]

[ no but you see

the knife literally drops as soon as you put it in his hand, like he's completely unable to hold it. and he's not surprised, nor does he look like he was trying to drop it—it just kind of does.

meanwhile, giving you a look of annoyance. ]

You want me to kill you.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[....seriously dude.]

[Picking it up again.] It seems to be the only thing to do.

[karlsefni]

[ i needed to pad my skill registry, alright. ]

Is that what it's come to? [ sssswaying a bit, but. staying. firmly planted onto the ground. ] Just because you come back after you die doesn't mean you should be so fucking casual about it, you bastard.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Shrugs.] I've remembered dying so much it hardly matters anymore.

[karlsefni]

[ > headbutt ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[ewajejwaoiejw down he goes.]

[karlsefni]

[ grunts, displeased and pressing the back of his hand against his head because ew blood, and then making his way over to step

on you.

(just a foot on your chest no worries) ]

You gave up pretty fucking easily with the whole finding a different way thing, huh.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Wincing anyway.]

Weren't paying attention at all...

[karlsefni]

I wasn't, I guess. But I know you. You're not this weak.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Laughs.] You really aren't paying attention.

[karlsefni]

No, you're not.

Who are you?

[wouldntkilladragon]

I'm Rider.

[karlsefni]

[ snorts ]

Right, and I'm the king of Denmark.

You're not Rider. I don't know who you are, but you're not him.

[wouldntkilladragon]

And what makes you say that?

[karlsefni]

Who knows?

[ kneeling down, his right hand's fingers twitching before curling up and then uncurling. ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

So you're really going to decide like that?
