THE LOST DAYS... Round 2.

[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...

[ She hates that Jason has a point. In over her head is something Arya rarely lets herself admit to feeling, if ever. From the very start, she's been blindsided by everything going on.

But-- They can't just let Jason suffer. ]

Rye's right. This happened because we came in unprepared. If there's a way we can handle this more indirectly, we should. You're my teammate, and I want to help you.

And besides, I have my pride. I'm not leaving here letting whatever is going on think it got the better of me.

[god. he rubs his face. he'd almost laugh if he wasn't so tired.]

Well, I can't get near the stuff.

[he finally acknowledges after a long moment.]

But if you kill the source, Hood, whenever he wakes up, can take care of the rest.

Then we kill the source. The flowers were going down those stairs. Think that's it?

They also hated fire extinguishers, so something works. Should be able to make a bomb version of that and as long as the container doesn't make a ton of shrapnel, damage to other stuff should be minimal.

Hope saw a Robin run off, and I know Batman is around, so even if you can't give us a lot of help, those two might have stuff and Batman was at least the other way.

Okay, wait--

[ deep breaths, Arya. ]

I just want to make sure I have this all right. It's...been a lot. There was a coffin and then that creep and the pit--

[ she's a little bit behind everyone, unfortunately. ]

So there are flowers, and we need to destroy the source of them?

I lost my staff when we fell, but if I can find something else to fight with, Rye can lead the way.

[he doesn't want to engage the idea of 'batman' and so, he continues.]

Rage is something I'm used to engaging. Red Hood, me, we could figure it out, if we needed to.

So this isn't a think I'm eager to make you do anything. I could send you both back to bed.
