Day ??? (Post Maze Run - Tsukasa/Raf/Tokinaga)

[dulymoted]

Well that was disappointing.

[Newly dried and feeling uncharacteristically winded, glancing over at this spear with a frown. It does not seem especially magical.

Unlike this WORM ON A STRING. She frowns even more deeply at it, who's holding it rn?]

I wish I could say there are less noble things to turn into. But I feel even spiders and rats might be preferable to this. Sheep and pigs, most certainly. Though no surely one would be tempted to eat a worm?

[Are there birds here? She pauses to think a moment.]

...Frinos might.

[Also she is holding Tsukasa's hand.]

[aspirings]

[She is holding Tsukasa's hand. Good for her. Rather, good for him, getting to hold such a pretty lady's hand.

He definitely gave a dramatic and passionate monologue to the sand hands. It was from the perspective of a sand castle enjoying its life before the tide comes in. I'm sure it was very stirring.

And now he's here, for all hand-holding needs mostly. And looking horrified at the worm on a string.]

We can't possibly use something like that!! Imagine being turned into a worm! How horrifying!

sliding in here too

[glub]

What, you can't think of at least one person you'd wanna see as a worm?

[ pressing his foot on top of tsukasa's foot...

does it work through shoes? ]

[aspirings]

[don't ask me, you're the one committing feet crimes here.]

Absolutely not!!

[But also he's terrified of insects, so--]

Don't tell me that you'd really use it...?!

[dulymoted]

And what of our enemies? Should the occasion rise to use it on whomever trapped us in this place, isn't it wise to use such powers to your advantage?

[aspirings]

Ah...

[...?]

Right, I... suppose someone must have brought us here...

[Mr. Brilliant has not thought about it at all.]

[dulymoted]

I have yet to see anyone claim responsibility, but it would follow there is someone. Or a group of someones.

If they prove unreasonable, I have no qualms with making them a worm.

[But looks him over.]

What were those sandy figures though? I thought I may have imagined it, but someone had been pulling you to shore, hadn't they?

[glub]

Oh, I was thinking of someone you were just kinda annoyed with. But, all is fair is war, yeah. [ either way, rafayel doesn't seem too bothered on who will be the worm victim. ]

[aspirings]

[... still, making them a worm seems so cruel...

He's willing to jump on the subject change.]

Oh...! Yes, that is correct. She--they... it? Had Emu's... that is, a precious friend of mine from home, it had her face.

That's why I... couldn't not grab her hands.

[vacuous]

[ Why are you doing this

He's wet, so very soggy, covered in bloody water, and kind of full-on disassociating but also looking at this like what ]

[dulymoted]

[but are you holding the good boy's hand]

Are you quite all right?

[vacuous]

[ READS UP AND SEES NOBODY HAS CLAIMED TO BE HOLDING THE WORM

I GUESS HE IS HOLDING THE WORM ]

...I, um...

[ Looks down at his wet self... ]

[dulymoted]

You're not thinking of using it straightaway, are you?

[She will pick up a towel (which they probably stole from the toilets) and extend it to him.]

Please, attend to yourself. There's no sense in catching cold on top of today's miseries.

[vacuous]

...Thanks. Thank you, Melinoe-san.

[ Sorry I lack a numpad so sometimes we will simply have to be without the diacritic e. He accepts it and does kind of like... dab some of the water off but he keeps pausing and glancing at the other three like he has some reservations... ]

...

Are you alright? I thought the blood was...

[aspirings]

[disassociating...

do you need to hold hands, Tokinaga.

He has one free now since Raf is doing whatever he's doing.]

[vacuous]

[ Probably but maybe he is holding worm with BOTH hands ]

[aspirings]

[... my man.

Tsukasa just looks over, and offers his hand.

Since it seems to be helping.]

Are you alright? This seems to be helping the others, at least a little.

[vacuous]

[ Looks into his palms full of WORM... he wears gloves, and they're both wet and stinky and (Anakin Skywalker Voice) There's Sand Everywhere. ]

My hands are pretty wet and dirty right now, is that okay?

[glub]

[ he left you a whole hand... go ahead.

rafayel is gesturing with his eyes. go on big guy. wait, pulls up the height chart ]

[vacuous]

[ He is average ]

[glub]

[ but he's got that warm apple pastry ]

Hey, [ waving a hand in front of his face. ] can you see how many fingers I'm holding up?

[dulymoted]

Not yet, but give it time. Should we never find need of it perhaps it would be a useful trinket to take home.

What about you?

[glub]

You make it sound like you have someone in mind at home...

[ is it out of affection, or hate though? rafayel can't tell. ]

Maybe Hak or Elysium? [ he's kidding. they both helped him and he's not ungrateful. ]

[dulymoted]

I'd not hesitate to transform Chronos, were he susceptible to such enchantments. [A beat, narrowing of eyes.] Nor a few of his subordinates, at that.

Hak? Really? They've seemed so sweet natured?

[She does not contest elysium....]

[glub]

You never know. It's something from another world, right? Who knows if they use the same principles or what.

Okay, okay. I guess he's not so bad, but you have to admit it might be a little funny to see the face he'd make if he were turned into a worm.

[ HELP ME ely what did you do ]
