Group Intros

[oi_theoi]

Who: Anyone
When: Day 143, evening
Where: HQ
What: Intros!

[With the rain still pouring on and off all day, new arrivals will have to stick to touring the HQ. At least there's still some excitement to be had, what with all the lizagons returning to roost to avoid the rain. Try not to annoy them when you make your way down to Level 1]

You're doing it again.

[scaledeep]

Doing what!

[tonewlengths]

You didn't answer my question from earlier, you know. With you, it's always, 'deimos do this', or, 'you'll be doing this next', or 'if it will make you...' You don't say what you personally want or feel.

[scaledeep]

. . .

[NO]

[tonewlengths]

See?

[scaledeep]

I...! I can't say anything like that!

If I let myself want something like that, if I start to rely on it, it won't last!

[tonewlengths]

There have to be things you want!

[scaledeep]

[tries to pull back]

I'm not saying I don't want it! I'm saying it's impossible! It's a foolish dream!

[tonewlengths]

[GRABS HIS SHOULDERS oh no that made her angry]

It is not! If you want it then take them, while they're still there, while you still can, you're just letting it slip away!

[scaledeep]

[jolts-- snaps]

I have what I want!

[tonewlengths]

[Oh you said it

Good]

Then let yourself have it.

[scaledeep]

Having it is fine...! It's that if I lose them--! I don't want to be put through that kind of pain anymore!

Why are you making me say these things!

[tonewlengths]

Because it's important! Darc, I know it's scary that you could lose it, I know that hurts, but to the point that you won't even say... You're closing yourself off, it's too far the other way, you're still hurting yourself.

[scaledeep]

You have no idea what you're talking about...

[tonewlengths]

You think?

[scaledeep]

You have no idea what I've lost!

[tonewlengths]

...I know that you've lost a lot. Too much for anyone, more than I can understand, and I don't want you to ever feel that pain again. But the way to achieve that isn't by refusing to want it at all in case you lose it.

[scaledeep]

...... I...

I can't help but want it now. Now that I have it. What you all say and do, and tell me is true about myself, yourselves, and the world... the friends I've lost and I were only beginning to claim. I've never heard or felt anything like it this strongly.

[tonewlengths]

That's better.
