[repeatingsun]

Characters: Solas Greine and you, maybe?
Setting: Various places in the Tower, after her derpy texting.
Format: Action
Summary: Sola got fed up with the network and decided to go exploring. Shenanigans are probably gonna ensue.


[Dormitory Floors]

[Sola is exploring the dorms to see what they're all like, and if they all look the same. Yes - all of them. Or as many as she can actually look into. So, hi, there's someone peeking in your door with the utmost interest.

Will this room look different? She wants to know!]

[Floor 25]

[She is beyond glad to have found plant life here, and is now doing what she does best: making it grow. What this means is that you'll come across her here, surrounded by a circle of quickly-growing grass.]

[Floor 11]

[Oh man, MORE plants?! You're the best, Tower! Sola is now playing around with the flowers, helping a few of them grow along because they seem to need it. She's sitting near the waterfall, and aside from reaching out towards the now-moving flowers, she doesn't openly seem to be doing anything. It's pretty obvious the flowers are her doing, though.]

[Floor 10]

[Here, Sola is walking around, hands clasped behind her back as she examines the fish. Occasionally, she tries to talk to them.]

⚙⌲? ♭♫⚡? ⟴☊✗⌛...

[.... Okay, so she's speaking starfish at them. It isn't working, either way.]

[Floor 1]

[Sola is eating kusaya and durian and enjoying every second of it. Send help.]

Comments

;A;

[repeatingsun]

[She covers her mouth with her hand, looking like she's about to cry.]

Oh, Enoch, I - I thought - I didn't think, when I sent everyone away, that anyone would go somewhere like this!

[She steps forward, remorseful.]

I'm sorry, Enoch, I'm sorry...

[warriorscribe]

*Oh no, Sola, don't cry... Enoch shifts closer to the end of the bed, nearer her.*

You sent...everyone away? Why? What happened?

[repeatingsun]

[She takes a deep breath. This has to be said - sooner or later.]

... The peace talks were about to happen - just like you said they would - and...then ☈✩☣ showed up and killed me. [She shakes her head.] The thing is, he's worse than Zeph or Kiqu. At least they won't keep people around just to torture them, but ☈✩☣ did that in the past, and he'd do it again, and he stabbed me to death to make sure I wouldn't stop him from doing so. I - I didn't want anyone to suffer like that, so I sent everyone out of Meridian. It killed me all the more quickly, but...it was better than seeing everyone bled out.

[There's a long pause, and then she just looks embarrassed.]

It's more difficult to speak with people off the second level, you know? At any rate, I guess the closest thing to that guy's name is "Ekiamiel."

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch takes a moment to just...process that. Sola died? Everyone has been sent away from Meridian? Where did everyone go, then? Is Armaros safe? What about the others? Steve, Zeph, Asato, Sissel, hell, even Ashraf comes to mind. But Armaros...

Enoch takes a deep breath. The inactivity is getting to him. Sola didn't know where she was sending everyone, so maybe Armaros is safe. Maybe all of them are safe.

Which still leaves the fact that she was violently killed, all while he and everyone in the city slept.*

I'm...I'm sorry...none of us knew what was happening.

[repeatingsun]

That was how I wanted it to be, yes. When I realized Ekiamiel had arrived...I just wanted to make sure all of you were safe. [She looks up at the ceiling, thinking for a quiet moment.]

By now, Zeph and Kiqu and Successor and the others have probably felt the echoes of what I did. They probably know what it means...hopefully they'll stop Ekiamiel from tearing the rift open again. Nobody deserves to be bled out by inches.

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch's shoulders tighten. Bled out by inches... Even this place tends to make deaths relatively quick. Relatively. He shudders at the thought of the city, their haven, becoming a torture chamber perhaps even worse than this.*

I wish something could have been done to help...

*But there was no helping. He was utterly helpless here, he would have been utterly helpless there. What power he did have, what change he managed to create, had all been undone. His drive and all that energy, they had been for nothing, and he couldn't have prevented Sola's death. Couldn't have prevented Meridian's.*

[repeatingsun]

There wasn't. He arrived out of nowhere, Enoch - nobody saw it coming. Not me, not Successor, not anyone.

[She sighs a little, toeing the floor in annoyance.]

Hopefully they're working together to stop him now, to make sure this doesn't happen again.

[...As she looks up, she finally notes that oh, hey, Enoch is-] Goodness, Enoch, are you all right?

[She steps closer to investigate. Usually, Enoch would be on his feet by now, right? So he's probably either sick or...]

[warriorscribe]

*And he wouldn't be leaning against the wall, either. He lowers his eyes.* The twenty first floor... Don't eat there. The task only sounds simple.

[repeatingsun]

The twenty...task?

[Processing... When she realizes what happened, she is this close to going Game Face. And she doesn't normally do that.]

Were you hurt, Enoch? Do you need help?

I AM SO SORRY I THOUGHT I REPLIED

[warriorscribe]

I don't know what, but something inside me is gone... *He lowers his eyes.* I've had healing magic cast on me, but I've still been weak.

[repeatingsun]

Hmm...Do you mind if I analyze this? I might be able to fix it, or at least...make things less awful.

[warriorscribe]

*That gets a small smile out of him.* I couldn't mind your generosity.

[repeatingsun]

All right then.

[She grabs a chair, sits down nearby, and places one of her hands close to Enoch's forehead. It almost looks like her eyes are glowing --

No. That isn't the problem, though it is affected. Go elsewhere.

-- it takes her a few seconds, but she does figure it out.]

Low blood levels. Also there's some excess blood in your abdominal cavity, but there isn't enough to cause trouble, so that's second on the list. The main problem is that you don't have enough blood, so it's got you like this...and that's not good. Hmm...I'm gonna try to get this fixed up, but - but - it'll probably help if you got something down first. [She taps her chin thoughtfully.]

You have been eating, right? I mean, yeah, I've healed people before, but not outside of Meridian - I'd rather play it safe if possible.

[warriorscribe]

*He leans forward so Sola could bring her hand close. When she's done, he lowers himself back down onto the bed.*

I have. My roommate has been bringing me food. The food here is...strange.

[repeatingsun]

[She nods.] Okay then, at least there's some fuel to work with. Like I said, I've never done this outside of Meridian, so - let's start off slow.

[She taps her chin for a second.] Right. Let's get things started. If anything starts to hurt, tell me, please.

[Her hands reach out again, she's concentrating, concentrating -- right. It's a subtle thing, but let's start by asking the kidneys to start with the process, and-- there we go. Okay, and a little further...not enough to cause trouble on down the line, but enough for a quick heal, seeing as she'll let up after things are back to normal. So far, so good...]

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch closes his eyes, not sure if he should be feeling anything or not, but grateful to have someone here he knows and trusts.

And by the way, Sola? There's just one kidney there to do the work - the other is missing, its blood supply cut off as if it had somehow healed without him bleeding out - the work of other healing magic.*

[repeatingsun]

[She grumbles at this.] Well, that explains it - Enoch, you're missing a kidney, did you know that? Let's see...I'll have to work around this somehow.

[Adjust for the missing kidney not by attempting to overtax the other one, but by pouring in more power, and...there. This shouldn't take much longer, with any luck.]

[warriorscribe]

Any tiredness was likely from inactivity now that Sola's healing him. He gave her a confused look before resting his hand over his side. "...So that's what they took."

[repeatingsun]

She nods, obviously a little put out by this face. "Yeah, it was. What a bother...Though the human body does tend to learn to adjust to these things. Still, it's a bit of a nuisance."

Adjust, adjust...okay. With that, she folds her hands in her lap and sits back a little, tilting her head down at Enoch. "That should do it, unless I'm mistaken. How do you feel? Should I do that again?"

Wow, random style switch. Guess I'll roll with it. Sorry!

[warriorscribe]

Enoch blinks tiredly, trying not to fall asleep again. He'd been sleeping so often it was hard to get up and stay up. "Tired...but then, I've been bedridden."

He pushes himself up on one arm...and finds, lethargy from inactivity aside, he feels strong again.

It's cool, it happens.

[repeatingsun]

She smiles at that, clapping her hands and, for a moment, looking every bit the happy teen she appears to be. "Great! So it looks like everything's back to normal - uh, except for the kidney...I don't think I can fix that." Her brow furrows and she sighs, shaking her head just a bit. "Sorry."

[warriorscribe]

He can't help but smile at her enthusiasm. It's good to see a friend here, that much is absolute. "It's all right. If you could heal me, I think I could live without..."

[repeatingsun]

"Yeah. Besides, I've heard it's possible for humans to adjust to having only one kidney...still, I don't like that they thought it was okay to do such a thing."

[warriorscribe]

"That's only the beginning of it, I'm afraid..."

And he can't do a thing...
