THE LOST DAYS... Round 1.

[mind_blown]

It's all darkness.

The feeling of nothingness, of being nothing. Of not existing. You have no thoughts, you will never have any thoughts again. While that fact is not comforting, because you cannot be comforted anymore, it is true.

There's a certain rest to being... nothing. And to both knowing and not knowing, that your time is done.

So it's all the more unfortunate when you feel, because you shouldn't feel. And the feeling is burning in your lungs, which you shouldn't have. Because you are- or were- nothing.

And then, you inhale a desperate gasp of air and open your eyes...

[fine, HE GUESSES HE WON'T BE POINTING GUNS, god.]

[ it's kind of rude, jason!!! ]

...ah, Jason was just saying there's... problems...?

Re: AN EVENT...

[mind_blown]

Red Hood.

[he corrects, immediately.]

We've all done enough hearts to understand concepts by now.

Re: AN EVENT...

[vitainmorte]

[ SORRY, NO WE HAVENT? ]

Jason? Hearts?

Re: AN EVENT...

[mind_blown]

Red Hood.

You didn't pick up on the Jason themed trap? Didn't even stop to go, what kind of crazy bastard sticks random people in his own grave?

Re: AN EVENT...

[vitainmorte]

-- how am I supposed to know that the man wearing a silly mask and pointing a gun at me is you?!

Re: AN EVENT...

[softlyfalling]

[ don't mind her she's just standing here trying not to lose her shit laughing ]

Re: AN EVENT...

[mind_blown]

It's one of the few things I get vetoed over.

[he sounds-- petulant? as he says it?]

Re: AN EVENT...

[vitainmorte]

[ what. ]

In what world would I have ever assumed you were the one who tried to bury me anyway.

Re: AN EVENT...

[mind_blown]

Did you not read the grave?

C'mon. It's a trap so you're there long enough so I can kick you the hell out.

Except I'm being overruled.

Re: AN EVENT...

[vitainmorte]

[ sourly ]

... well I clearly got myself out. What was that about hearts?

Re: AN EVENT...

[mind_blown]

[he sighs.]

This is Jason's heart. Mindscape. Charming personality, whatever.

I'm just a facet of it. Specifically the facet that keeps shit level.

Re: AN EVENT...

[vitainmorte]

[ looks to Shrike ]

And what were your plans?

Re: AN EVENT...

[softlyfalling]

Ah, he mentioned that there's something that needs taking care of in Tokyo-F... which I guess we can get to from here?

[ gestures at... a door... ]

Re: AN EVENT...

[vitainmorte]

[ glancing back at Jason(red hood????) then back to her. ]

... if you don't mind if I join you?

Re: AN EVENT...

[softlyfalling]

Oh, of course! It's probably best to not go alone, even if it's somewhere theoretically familiar.

Re: AN EVENT...

[vitainmorte]

Right...

[ well-- to the door, then? ]

Re: AN EVENT...

[softlyfalling]

let's gooooo
