"It's okay you wont hurt me." He waited until she was comfortable, "You can hold my hair if you like."

[myblueskies]

"At the meeting. Soon!"

[myblueskies]

[Have a tighter hug] Are you okay Zett? You're not scared are you?

[myblueskies]

"Of course we can. Everyone's really brave." He nodded.

[chainsawn]

Okay, then let me try it.

[ ...

She pauses.

And stands there.

She opens her mouth.

... and closes it again.

Nope, she can't do this, she doesn't know how to scream even if she tries like this.. ]

....... How do you make a bloodcurdling scream?

[chainsawn]

[ Woah, new realisation. It means she's already trying to grab her "face" again. ]

There's a person behind it, really..? What kind of person? They must be really small to fit in there.

[chainsawn]

Probably.. I'm not sure either, but everyone sure is having a difficult time with the game. I think a lot of people are panicking since they can't figure out the answer.

[ Of course she's completely off the mark. As usual. ]

[frilliance]

[Unfortunately, Edgeworth is a prideful git. He was raised to think that showing emotions like panic, sadness and misery were undignified. Von Karma was a terrible foster parent.]

......I think you'd better leave.

[mysterical]

[Dealing with Jade, Guy, Luke and Asch—not to mention her brother and grandfather—has allowed Tear to recognize someone who is emotionally stunted. And trying to force him to do anything about it isn't going to do any good.]

Perhaps you're correct. I hope that you feel better. We need everyone to keep their wits about them.

[Shion turned at the voice, he didn't recognise it. Another one of Xion's friends?]

Re: TMW a punctuation error leads to an ironically funny assumption! X.x

[puppy_lancer]

I...

[What can he say? It's a logical assumption.]

Yeah...but...does he know she loves him?

[puppy_lancer]

[He watches Enoch's body language and waits for the other man to properly calm down.]

Yeah, that part was fucked up. And I get that the heart holds their powers, but what about the brain?

[Wasn't that the most important organ in a body anyways?]

Why'd she try to eat it and then spit it out?

[marriedthebloke]

Yes. I met him a few days ago. He is...much better behaved than his older brother is.

[neverbeamemory]

[Swordsman, swordman and er - what?

He creases his eyebrows together, if even such an expression could be readable given their current state of being.]

A what? Some sort of musician?

[marriedthebloke]

Perhaps if it were a familiar face or at least voice, she could be persuaded to have hope. But given that it's only a stranger's form, she can do nothing but take the pessimistic view.]

[Therefore, Enoch's touch comforts her better than his encouragement. She buries her head in her knees and sobs, trying to get all her panic out.]

[integrous]

Yeah.. I know. I should be calm too, you know.. I should be helping people.

[ Even if her friends aren't here - not the ones from back home - she should be helping people who need it. People worse off than her. Younger, more innocent, maybe those people.. ]

.. But.. I can't. I don't even know how to deal with it myself, let alone how to help others..

[integrous]

[ ...

That gets him an incredulous look for a moment, as if she can hardly believe what's going on here. In fact, it takes a few moments for her to realise what he's doing.. and it's just.. so weird. To think that in a situation like this, a little kid is trying to cheer her up by doing something silly..

She still feels like she could cry if her body allowed her to, but at the same time she can't help but smile. ]

Ah, is that it..? I'm sorry, I forgot all about it. I guess I needed you to teach me.

[blackwitch]

What, do you think I don't want to?! I want to crush them and kill them over and over and hear them squirm and cry and gurgle on their own blood as they die..!

[ A little over the top there, Evatrice. But she always is, especially when she's emotional - it's why she's actually being a little more open than her usual smug high-and-mighty mode. ]

But I thought we just established I can't do anything against them like this either, moron! Idiot!

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

If you would like to, I wouldn't reject the help.

[Taiki's company would be welcome, even with the strangeness of the situation. It was someone familiar, someone that Legolas often sought to protect whenever things became unbearable.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

No, I doubt it very much. There was a message saying that the 'Glamour system' had failed. And after it had shut down, we appeared as we are now.

[No, the sad truth of the matter was that Legolas and the rest of Pandora were responsible. Not that he was entirely aware of that fact just yet.]

I do not know. I will need to speak with others and find Gandalf.

[scentofmakai]

No, I'm not scared anymore.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

That will do should I speak often enough. Right now, anonymity may have its uses.

[He would smile if he could but instead laughs very softly. At least they still have their voices. And what's still essentially themselves even if Legolas has some doubts.]

You as well.

[warriorscribe]

It isn't that I doubt our strength...

*...He just never wanted to be the one testing it so.*

[keybearer]

Yeah, it's me.

[He pauses, turning his gaze on Shion.]

I'm just a different Riku, that's all.

[It'd be easier if they weren't reduced to wireframe. At least then he'd have Kairi's charm and Sora's necklace to distinguish him further... but those aren't even the real versions, are they? As that thought creeps through his mind, the vague indications of facial features on him shift a little; if they squint, they may be able to see a trace of a frown.]

[wrigurun]

Hmm... I guess they are.

Then you'll just have to wait it out! What was so special about your bird anyway? Does it cause night-blindness?
