Resident Cripple
Location: My office (Nishira)/My mind (Why'nn)
Who I'm with: Delrick (@Grim Wraithe Stjerna), Connor (@KalenNighteyes), and the bird (Nishira)/Connor (Why'nn)
What I'm doing: Explaining (Nishira)/Going to fall (Why'nn)
Nishira pursed her lips as the boy began his journey into the girl's mind. She'd seen a telepath try it once and fail horribly, destroying the mind of the person she was trying to access and her own in the process. If Manara had been able to teach this boy how to infiltrate there would be hope for him yet. As Delrick entered she nodded to the monk. "He won't hear you, dear. He's far too deep into your apprentice's mind. It seems she has a problem getting used to new textures. Would you like to watch the playback of what happened in your classroom while you were away?" She drew up a shimmering image of the fight between Acantha and James and the aftermath. "It seems she can't pull herself out. Though, with Miss Carver's shift in attitude I think I may just be ready for a new apprentice." She laughed. "I know I haven't truly taken any on since you, but there might be space for another."
The waves crashed, loud. She watched them, feeling like any moment she could fall. She would fall soon. It happened before. With Mother. She'd been to the depths of that ocean and knew she could not surface easily. But she didn't quite want to go. What about Violet? What about Connor and HK-50-01? Where were they, anyway? She couldn't entirely see out anymore. Was she with anyone? She could only feel the new sensation and as she thought of it she shivered, taking another step toward the edge.
Something moved behind her, but she assumed it was just the visage, so she did not turn to look. That was, until Connor's words reached her. They sounded far away. He sounded far away. She turned to look at him. He looked far away. How was he in her mind? Nothing made sense right now and she didn't even try to understand. Movement, air... something shifted around her body and she shivered, hit with a new sensation as she staggered back. One more step and she would fall, be swallowed. Even in her mind she was unfocused. 'How... how did you get here?' Why'nn did not move away from the edge, did not reach her hand out. The distance between them did not change.
Location: The Arena/The hallway
Who I'm with: Grim and the crying girl (@StartingOver)/No one
What I'm doing: Tracking
Valian gave a thumbs up. "I bet she'll want to see you. Be safe, now. Won't be long at all." He turned and followed the path he'd watched the loverboy take. He'd heard stairs but... once he got up to the second floor he wasn't entirely sure where to go. Of course, now he would have to shift the light so he could see the leftovers of auras, that would be taxing... "Oh, the things I'll do for a friend," he sighed as he caught the dark blue of the boy's mixed with the black and white of the girl's and trotted up the stairs.
