THE LOST DAYS... Round 1.

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...

[ ...weird.

Well, school seems boring—she's pretty sure there's no warriors, much less any war, there at all. Obviously a waste of time!!

So she heads down the street, picking a direction essentially at random. How about... down the street to the right. ]

And who should she find-- but Red Hood?

He's leaning against a wall, and it's hard to tell because of the mask, but he looks... off put.

"What do you want?"

[ A person! Wearing red over his head!!! She has got this. ]

Are you Jason?

[ she grins. she is SO GOOD at this job. ]

That's great! Ah—

[ hurrying up to him, then holding out her hand proudly, the tiny seed of a communicator centered in her palm ]

I'm supposed to bring you this.

[ Please understand, this sword has a negative skill in temperance.

But uh..... is "the institution of Heaven" a valid answer?
What about Lord Entropy? ]

[ it's fine! ]

To fight...? [ she giggles, though it's threaded with an edge of mania ]

None of the things I want vengeance on are here right now, but...
Well, Jason-senpai wants to fight you. That would be fun, right?
soulcarve: (14 ✦ is this the path we must walk)

[ another little laugh ]

Are you ready too, Red Hood-san?

[ This close to her true nature, though, it's all so effortless—like she could look right past the Lie of the world. Like she could see the True Thing beyond.

There is only one Jason-senpai, which she'd already picked up on. But she realizes suddenly, as the world is awash in a green glow that the person she had talked to... was not him. He was a part of him. But he was not him.

And Red Hood's conceptualization of Jason leaves him chasing after only one of them.

He starts to move back the way she came.
