โต [ย ๐๐๐๐ย ] โ sender traces a scar on receiverโs body.
HIS MIND IS ABSENT. the candlelight still strong enough to paint dusk on olgierd's naked skin as he sits at the edge of the bed. woken up by another fit of cascading emptiness within his pounding guts, forcing tar through olgierd's veins.
the suffocating bulk caulks his heart and detaches it. more and more and more. the strings snap, snap, snapping. drained of life, petrified.
his gaze is nailed to the floor, reassuring himself of the ground beneath his feet and before he can fall a cooling trail runs down his spine, along an old wound. urging a breath into olgierd's lungs with the caress of two forgiving fingers.
he turns his head to glance over the shoulder. ยป has my brooding disturbed you, love? ยซ he chooses to dwell on her affection, reminding himself of the void he felt merely moments ago โ what it means when she is no longer present ... when he is no longer aware. ยป would you do me a favour, fight sleep and tell me what you see? ยซ her hand is within reach now, and olgierd guides the back of it to his lips.
ยป when you look at me, describe it, please. ยซ

THE DARK FADE ON HIS SIGHT DISAPPEARS SLOWLY. it takes him a while before he manages to blink through the blurriness. white pain orchestrates the headache in rude's head, his arms dangling, almost numb and suddenly he realises everything is upside down.
the voice scratching through the radio sounds distant before it is silenced entirely. rude groans, twitching when he believes a shadow lurking in the corner of his eyes but as he tried to turn around he could make out โ nothing.
reno! rude's gaze immediately fixes on his left, and there he finds the gradually waking body of his partner @blitzrod.
a hint of gasoline pervades the air, and the smoke filling the cockpit creeps behind rude's sunglasses, efficiently sending burning stings through his sockets. fuelled by the will to get them out of here โ alive, rude drags both arms to his belt, and plummets to the ground.
similar actions are done to free reno from his death trap and with the last remnants of their consciousness they crawl to safety. as they watch the helicopter from a distance, recovering in the shadows of a mound, rude allows himself to relax just slightly. ยป you alright? ยซ

THE WIND BRUSHES PAST HIS SHOULDERS, playing with the wisps of vincent's hair under the beach's sun. ยป of course. you do not need to tell me. ยซ not buying into aerith's ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐, however, he is above forcing her to speak about the uncomfortable.
moreover, vincent holds no right and interest to pry. they have barely met, although, he can recognise an adamant burden in the heaviness of her voice. ยป you are doing well on your own, i know. ยซ there is strength ๐ข๐ง ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ amongst other influences; vincent turns to face the sea and sighs against the breeze. ยป still if ever you find yourself entangled in your cluttered thoughts, i could lend you an earโmaybe even a hand to pull you out. ยซ having his fair share of guilts knotted around his bowels, vincent might be able to catch on some of aerith's plans before she ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ญ them, like keeping secrets or at least make an effort to understand.
@enypneon . โ have you let go of the ails that anchor you yet? โ from vincent / hi! :)
AERITH falters just a touch โ enough to be noticeable, a short intake of breath and a touch of nervous hand wringing. She prided herself on being untouchable, shouldering the world of burdens she had found herself clutching ever since this journey began. Every ounce of it was tucked safely into her chest, and that's where she clasps her hands together as she debates what Vincent has said. It would be impossible, at this point, to deny it, but deny is exactly what Aerith does because what else can she do? Admit that she knows how futile this is? Admit that it hurts her to think of what will become of her? Admit that she knows more than she's letting on? She couldn't. She wouldn't. She steadies herself. She lies. And she believes truly to herself that that's the best option.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She settles on, defensive, protective.

ยป you cannot relate to this feeling, i am assuming. ยซ a guileless taunt and an attempt to steer the conversation to where vincent believes it is more relevant to him.
โa flash of red , and a brush of the wind against his cheek . yazoo stops walking , his posture relaxed and easy . shoulders draw back , chin raises as he speaks to the man in red , behind him , lurking like a ghost .โโ i always thought you were just haunting these woods . โโ feline eyes close gently as he turns toward vincent at last . he's an odd man , and this is what a remnant thinks ; the replica of the champion , not even complete . his head tilts .โโ turns out you're quite solid . no ? โ ; @enypneon

โต smother. you clasp a hand over the sender's mouth to keep from being heard.
๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐๐ค ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ, drumming against the plastic of her coat in a soft rhythm. there is no direct way to leak the research biodyne has so carefully put together for high profit but it is not impossible to obtain. they plan to waste the nanites on the rich, while v and so mi prefer to share the knowledge with everyone who is able to fund the production. creating competition and alternatives to the original formula.
the meeting point is rather exposed despite the tall buildings narrowing in on them โ not ideal for a rendezvous with someone they hardly know. so mi leans closer into v's vicinity, tilting her head towards the sky, illuminated by long strands of advertisement. what if they have walked right into a trap? a muffled metallic click erupts from the familiar sounds of night city's barking streets and in a sudden wave of all-consuming anxiety, so mi grabs v's arm and pulls him into the darkness of a small alley. however, before he can react, she extinguishes any grunts of wonder and surprise as she clasps her hand over v's mouth.
her eyes are locked on the spot where they have stood merely a minute ago. there are no signs of odd movement, yet she decides it is better when they remain tucked away between the concrete for at least a while. the mission failing is a small price to pay to ensure that v is unharmed. if anything were to happen to him...
hitches of damp heat pulse against her palm, right, her hand was still shutting v's lips. she cannot remember the last time life was slipping past her fingers in a tender caress as an excited tingle poured through her skin and body. v used to feel cold and hard beneath her touch but with the new layer of skin stretching over so mi's limbs, she could even feel the crisp prickle of v's beard. her hand slips to his shoulder, curious about what other areas can make her heart swell.
ยป sorry. thought i heard something. ยซ

just a teeny tiny update (again) that i'm currently not at my best speed. uni has started again and i plan to finish all my papers before the break + finally write my bachelor's thesis. i will return to work, too, no more sick days ...
this will not only affect my activity but chatting as well, it's unfortunate, however, i'll be lurking on dash almost every day ๐ค

๐๐ฒ๐ง๐ซ๐ข๐ค ๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐๐. ยป perhaps they thought they remembered us. an illusion of our shared affliction. ยซ there is no other name, which comes to mind. he has never had a choice, they both had not, cynrik and his companion.
born into the service of the formless mother and carrying her heritage in their own blood. a burden they have not proposed willingly. his thumb runs along the empty perfume bottle, taking with it just the faintest smudge of dust. a thin layer of remnants from its prior already dried contents. dark clouds char the sky, robbing it of its glow in a growing storm. ยป we'd best be careful. there might be vile intentions behind their approaches. ยซ
it is not the first time cynrik has noticed a figure in similar clothing looming in their vicinity. he has not paid them much attention for the lands between have a tendency to shelter the strangest and most wonderous kind of beings.
ยป i could be paranoid, though. say, what do you think? are you familiar with them? ยซ bubbles begin to break the surface of cynrik's potion, he removes it from the heat and adds the liquid to the flask he held a moment ago.
