Ride 721: Bottles!!
Pag 1
1: To deliver the supplies they're carrying, and their hopes, they're franticly chasing!!
Pag 2
1: It's too hot for this jacket
2: I'll take it off
Even though the forecast said it would be a little cooler..
Thanks- with this weather I already want to eat an ice-cream

Like this, we probably won't last... until the finish line
Yeah
Pag 6

Pag 14
1: Gau!?
2: It's not the time to eat my hand, Rokudai
The “lead” is further ahead
They've probably
3: already entered the mounains!!
4: Dammit!! We have to deliver these things!!
What do we do!! From the road map, I saw that this time in the mountain is a winding climb!!
5: My “straight road” can only move us streight ahead, so it won't work on a winding road!!
6: What do we do!!
Pag 15
1: Ah
Gau
2: Gau!!
I’ve been told I'm a “climber”!!

He'll jump ahead any time now- Onodaa!!
4: Jump ahead...!!
Pag 20
1: Right, if they jump ahead now... if they come together with Naruko now, it'll be the perfect battle formation
So why
2: Why aren't you moving, Sohoku!!

🌸。*゚+. @diademreigned || continued
He always was one dedicated to the practice of alchemy, devoted to the knowledge of it like no other. It made her feel better, knowing she had such a powerful ally in her corner, and a RELIABLE friend. Amicia wasn't entirely ignorant to the practice, but most things certainly did go over her head-- way over, even.
"If you think it would help." She gave in without a fuss, and perhaps, that would have been one's greatest hint in knowing that something wasn't right. But Lucas knew that already, else, why would he favor giving her his attention, instead of continuing his notes from prior? "W-what do they look like? We can look for them, together."
It would be good to keep herself busy. She wasn't so keen on staying put for a moment longer.
Really, she would rather be doing something more proactive for their situation-- getting Hugo the help he NEEDED. The longer she waited around, the more tempting it was to leap out the nearest window, Hugo in tow, and merely continue to seek out answers for herself, as she had done before.
THAT would be stupid, especially in her current state.
She's done more stupid things in the past, though.
"I'd assume you have a picture of them in that book of yours?" She nodded towards the discarded book, only to WINCE shortly after. The action, though barely one at all, was enough to jar her head and make her feel dizzy. The world felt as if it had shifted from underneath her, and for a moment, the brunette had to brace herself against where she now sat. For all the pain she felt, the most prominent expression on her face was annoyance above all else.
ANNOYED at being rendered helpless.
"Stupid--" She muttered, brows twitching in time with her flared anger. "F-flowers. Those flowers. Let's find them."

TENDER : receiver wakes up to sender caressing them gently; a hand carding through their hair, brushing hair off their forehead, a hand on their cheek, a thumb swiping under their eye. + REVERSE (for sayid Sawyer, my mistake) @fantasywritten
Sawyer wasn't awake yet, and she had briefly seen Kate in a pretty dress -she was fine, which was all that mattered and the reason she hadn't slaughtered the entire group there- before being put in the cage with him, after a little tour that proved, much like she had suspected, that the Others had connected the dots without having the complete picture and thought she was some kind of Hannibal Lecter mixed with Jack the Ripper figure. And she was gonna use it, she was going to milk that fear for all its worth. Just like they were blatantly planning to use Sawyer's presence against her.
She sat down and brushed Sawyer's hair just as Pickett came closer to the bars after closing the door.
"Don't," Ben warned him, "Always stay out of her reach. Go do what I told you, I'll contact you next. Now, Emma, there is no reason why we can't have a civilized-"
"Yes, there is a reason we can't be civilized," she interrupted him, "You hinted that you knew who I was earlier, and even if you hadn't your men are moving two steps away every time I make one in their direction... so you know what I did before the island. So I'll make it easy for you. I don't need pretty dresses or a special treat to make a deal. I will not slaughter your people nor you as long as you don't touch Sawyer. And Claire is not to be taken again, of course." Emma's hand went to stroke Sawyer's cheek, but looked back at Ben, showing confidence as if she could get out and do it any time. "I don't care what you do to me, you fight me directly, I will fight fairly, you may even get a chance. But you know damn well I care about him. So that's your offer for me: if I behave you don't hurt him. 'cause if you do... well, ain't that gonna be a freak day for y'all."
She met Ben's calculative eyes, and then he nearly smiled affably, if tense, "These are going to be difficult days for you, Emma, I for one am glad I can offer you something to make them better. No harm will come to Sawyer. Unless of course he makes impossible for us to not respond with force, I'm sure you understand I have my people to care for just like you do. As long as you cooperate and don't... make it a difficult day for anyone."
"Deal then."
"Deal. See, I believe this is the first of many fruitful conversations for us. I'll have someone bring disinfectant for your wrists and hand."
He excused himself, no doubt to go regroup and re-plan what to do since she had all but confessed his worst assumptions, and Emma could finally relax, brushing Sawyer's hair again, and then his cheek, "Oh, sweetheart... Come on," she tried to feel his pulse just to be sure he'd be fine, "Wake up, hon, don't scare me... Hey..." her thumb stroked his cheek and she smiled with genuine affection as he gave signs to be alive.

❛ it's okay if you don't want to talk about it. maybe we can just sit here for a while instead. ❜
A MEME FROM LITERALLY OVER A MONTH AGO - @likcthestar
FINGERS PRESSED into the concrete, feeling the rough texture below digging into the crevices of her skin, burying and pricking. an ache she could bear, one she clung to, a feeling that she understood and could actually handle. anything ELSE just then was a weight her shoulders wouldn't hold presently. she was getting crushed beneath, and cat even seemed to sink further and further towards the earth until she was fully lying on her stomach.
perhaps lying s p r a w l e d on the sidewalk was a ridiculous place to be, but the area of old warehouses and long alleys was empty. echoed noises of the wind brushing trash along could be heard, a symphony accompanied by distant cars humming and honking... the dilapidated buildings seemed hollow as they towered over the two. the street rat had simply given up with the day, letting it defeat her, forcing her to sit, to be found, and now eventually looking like roadkill merely brushed to the side of the street.
"there's nothing to talk 'bout." a lie and the truth at the same time. so much to say yet n o t h i n g to reason. her life, the past, her trauma, her hope, her sorrows, everything... it all led to this moment as it did every moment after. inhale and exhale... inhale and exhale, forever trapped in a comedy of errors. except the laughter was her own head, and it was dead before the tragedy to come. "i jus'... don't feel good."
