[feed starts at the tail end of a harsh exhale.

a beat.]

Where're...Chloe and...Er-eri...[huff. another pause. his voice gets grumblier, agitated:] My friends. Here. Why am I even back.

Comments

[effective]

It wasn't real.

[theguideless]

Yes, it was.

[effective]

So those people, they all attacked you the first time you lived through that?

Voice;

[woahwoahawkward]

[...well, he half-monitored the disaster on Anora's post -- so he knows better than to bring up that it wasn't real.]

Are you hurt?

[theguideless]

No.

[...wait.

erhh. hrn.]

Not anymore.

[woahwoahawkward]

Then that's for the best.

Do you -- need to talk about it?

[Oh, Maker, he's the most awkward about this...]

[has_a_cult]

If you kept better track of where you were going, you might not have this problem.

[theguideless]

[biting back on his agitation (failing):] I'm trying.

[has_a_cult]

Obviously not hard enough.

[sunlitcrown]

None of that was real. It was just a memory.

[theguideless]

[talking over her second statement, angry:] It wasn't. You weren't there and you don't know.

[sunlitcrown]

You're talking about that dumb VR thing, right? I know. I went back to the palace and it was fake. We weren't even supposed to be there.

voice; /slams in here!!

[undeadarmies]

I'm here.

[theguideless]

[beat.

hh.]

And...not hurt. Right?

[undeadarmies]

Not really. [A short pause before she sighs.] I don't know, the whole thing was just weird. Messed up kind of weird. Like a psychological thriller.

[Mm.] I think I should be the one asking if you're okay, though.

[Video]

[hornedomen]

Martin? Are you okay? We were never gone. It wasn’t our worlds it was fake.

[theguideless]

[an exhale.]

You're wrong.

[sacrificar]

You wanted to stay?

[theguideless]

[a lengthy pause.

does it even matter, he thinks, that she's...?]

I have to. To fix what I ruined. I could have...

[caligulas_aquarium]

I'll just go ahead an' figure you mean me there.

So yeah, I'm right here. Whaddya want?

[theguideless]

[a shaky breath. good. alive.]

Just. Checking...

voice

[fintastic]

Friends of yours that went home?

[theguideless]

...No, it's. [hhhh.] I was home. They're...Some of them I saw. After.

[text]

[stonefaith]

[ this response comes much, MUCH later. ]

have you gotten it through your head yet that you never left?

voice

[theguideless]

[TWO CAN PLAY THE LATE GAME SIR.

a miserable exhale. a miserable reply (mISERY):] It...wasn't fake. It's just. A mistake. Just.
