０１４ ☠ video/action

[jemerite]

[Hello, mirror. It seems that... Zinc may just be waking up after a few rather unpleasant days, a wave of gleaming green snakes slithering away from her, disappearing into the grass with a faint rustling. She opens her dark eyes slowly, staring off at nothing blankly for a long time.

Eventually, she makes an attempt to lift her head, but she lays back down tiredly, blinking without speaking.

It is a while still before she curls an arm under her head, getting more comfortable, although she's frowning and her eyes don't lift to the mirror. The reason for that will be quite apparent in a moment because she murmurs,]

I can't see anything.



[[ooc; I am still tagging that log. Very slowly, I'm so sorry. Sob. I just didn't want to have to backdate this any further. If anybody wants to take credit for her second death, they can have it. Otherwise it's a suicide, and... I'll just be ambiguous about it until that gets settled.]]

[ Oh no, it's the nice lady who cannot drink tea. Mugi sounds genuinely concerned when she replies via the mirror. ] Ah, oh no! Are you all right? What happened?

[jemerite]

[She's quiet a moment, head tilting when she hears the voice. She... recognizes it, a little.]

...I died. I think... the snakes took it, maybe.

[golden_gaytime]

[ That seems to stop Mugi. Dying? Was... dying possible, in her dreams? She's never encountered anything like that before. Nightmares were few and far between, sure, but this seemed like such an idyllic scenario.

Well. Until Ky told her about the potential dangers. Maybe this is what was meant... ] The snakes... they hurt you? [ She frowned. This was bad. Very bad! ] What can—

Is there anything I can do?

[jemerite]

No.

[She says that very softly, closing her eyes.]

The snakes... woke me up. And left with it...

[golden_gaytime]

I am sorry. But ... I don't really understand. [ Which worries her. ] Perhaps I can come to you? I could... lead you somewhere safe. Your home, if you have one here?

[fionna_time]

[A little less inclined to sound friendly, considering all that went down, but still trying to tell herself it was something the faeries did].

Why not?

[jemerite]

I don't know.

[She doesn't really, she just woke up a few minutes ago.]

I feel... like it was taken.

[fionna_time]

[Ok, so maybe that warmed her up to Zinc a little, even after all the crap they went through].

How can that happen? Are you sure?

[jemerite]

I don't know.

[She's very quiet, maybe even distracted. There's a lot to think about.]

That's how it feels.

[hungry_like_the_wolf]

Woah...What the hell happened Zinc?

[video]

[jemerite]

[She doesn't answer immediately.]

I don't know.

Re: [video]

[hungry_like_the_wolf]

Ok.... Do you need me to come and get you?

Re: [video]

[jemerite]

Yes. I want to go home.

[She shifts herself again, drawing her knees up to be more comfortable in the grass.]

[cleaningstop]

What do you mean...?

[jemerite]

It's dark.

[And she's only sulking a little...]

[cleaningstop]

It... is?

[jemerite]

For me.

[reallyerotic]

Nothing at all?

[jemerite]

Nothing.

[Her eyes close again, limp against the grass.]

[reallyerotic]

That's rather concerning, I have to say.

What could've happened?

[jemerite]

I don't know.

[It's the answer she keeps giving, and it gets more and more pathetic each time.]

It's gone.

[histrionic]

Nothing at all? Perhaps you can see that which lies within. Or truth. Or knowledge. Did death show you any of its secrets?

voice

[jemerite]

There are no... secrets. Dead is dead.

voice

[histrionic]

[Kuja laughs.]

You would think it's simple common sense, but so few people realize that fact. Perhaps it is a secret, if one in plain sight.

Did you enjoy your death?

voice

[jemerite]

Yes, Kuja. Thank you.

[Earnest enough, she only wishes it could have stayed a little longer.]
