and mortal men and all things

Characters: The Disciple and you!
Setting: Room 2-05 and everywhere!
Format: Starting in action, will match!
Summary: The Disciple arrives and goes investigating.
Warnings: None at the moment?

[The Disciple awakes with a start, and panic sets in as she struggles to move for those first moments of being paralyzed. The moment she's free, she springs up and out of the bed in a flurry of sheets and hair. She stares around wildly, wondering if she's been captured despite her caution. In the next few minutes, she finds the letters and reads them, and then locates the chest and changes her clothing.

She slips out of the room cautiously and down the hallway, keeping herself pressed to the wall to keep as out of view as she can. But it's a little hard to hide when there's nothing in the halls to hide behind.]

[Heh! Smiles reassuringly!]

It was not so bad. I've dealt with him before. [Nods once though] But uh... yes, he is not an easy opponent...

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

I've also faced him, in a sense. I was the only of my group to escape.

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

[Wh... what. Oh no, this poor lady... D8 The smile falls away]

I'm sorry... I wish there was better news, here.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

I'll not lose hope, even if he's here. [Smiling, though a little sadly.] But thank you, friend, for the warning.

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

[Guh... he hates smiles like that, hates that they're so familiar to him. Sighs]

That is, definitely, a good philosophy to have when it comes to him... But there's more. [Damn, she doesn't need to hear this. He has never been good at delivering bad news to those who have just lost someone. But it's something she needs to know, if she and her group were important enough to get the Grand Highblood's attention]

The Condesce is also here.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

A legislacerator told me of Her Imperious Condescension. It will be little harder to hide from them here, but I think I'll manage.

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

[Nods. She looks strong. He might have asked her to fight with him. But he understands hiding as definitely a thing some prefer, especially when they have been recently isolated]

Good luck. You will probably need it here.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

[She nods at him.]

May I ask why you've dealt with the highblood before?

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

[Okay he has to grin at this, even if it's rather vicious this time. This is his life! He has to get excited talking about it!]

He's uh, finally realized, the revolution won't be stopped. And he's started coming into battle with us. We've met a few times there, and... now he's in the tower too.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

[Her face lights up at that.]

The revolt hasn't stopped?

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

[Oh goodness!]

No, of course not... Do you remember it? [Oh gosh, that's really exciting!! Only the Condesce has remember it so far]

[...although wait, if she remembers it wouldn't she... have recognized him? Head tilt]

Do you uh... remember me...?

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

Of course I remember the revolt! I am one of the Signless' closest followers. I was at his side through all of it, until-

I'm afraid I don't remember you, though.

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

[Blinks... The Signless is... definitely the Sufferer by his time, but the name in context with a revolt pings his memory of the things Pyralsprite used to tell him. Wow, mindfuck!!!]

You were... [OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD???? HIS HEROES?????] You were the first...! With the Sufferer?

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

The first? Then there was a second rebellion?

[This is so exciting! His words hadn't been forgotten.]

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

Yes...! Um... the one... I was in charge of, actually.

[Oh gosh, this is really really exciting. If there's anything positive he can say about this place, it's that timeline shenanigans have made this possible. He never thought... +______+]

So you were... with him...? What was he uh... like? If that's something you want to uh, talk about at all?

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy to hear that his vision was not abandoned. I knew my hope wouldn't fail me.

[She smiles as she thinks of Signless, her features softening at memories.]

He was amazing. His compassion knew no bounds, and his visions were incredible. I was privileged to stand at his side.

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

[...well it's been sort of abandoned lskjflj He is not exactly a loyal follower of the Sufferer's peace for all philosophy... )8 Still, it is nice to see her look... happier... talking about him]

What were, his visions of? I've only ever uh... heard rumors. [Third hand. From a dragon... welp]

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

It was of Alternia when it was peaceful. Our race used to not be violent, according to his visions. Things like blood didn't matter as much.

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

[Takes a breath, pleased, and then nods]

It sounds... nice.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it? I wish I could have seen it like that, just once. But I'll always cherish the imagine in hopes that one day it might-

[Right, Alternia is gone. She frowns.]

I was hoping one day I would get to see it. But I suppose Alternia is no longer there at all.

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

[SHAKES HIS HEAD]

It's still there. I know it is. [Sounds... utterly confident in this sob. He just had so many important things to do there, you know? It just... can't be gone );]

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

You're certain? That is a relief!

[She doesn't want it to be gone. So she'll believe him and have faith that it's still there.]

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

Definitely. It is uh, rarely wise to trust the word of people, holding you captive.

[evangeleo.livejournal.com]

I was not aware we were prisoners.

[cabecilla.livejournal.com]

Mmm... We can't leave the tower. [...] And I guess, also... some people have been, experimented on...
