Characters: Sakura and Neji
Location: The ring
Time: Day 168, Hook/Sea-Witch game
Description:

[ The sound of faint music draws you toward the ring, too low for anyone to make out what's playing. Unfortunately, stepping into the ring today does not land you in front of a scrumptious feast or welcoming environment . . .

That is, unless you find dark and frigid cells inviting. It's a very small space, which you're sharing with a person who is mostly likely someone special to you. From the motion, it's fairly clear you're on a ship of some kind and there doesn't seem to be anyone aside from your partner around. A quick look will reveal a knife and a small vial labelled with a skull and crossbones nearby.]

I know.

[medpacksapunch]

Do we just wait, then?

[playfreebird]

It seems so.

[medpacksapunch]

[huffs]

Great.

It isn't my first choice for how to spend time with you, no.

[medpacksapunch]

[laughs a little though it is not actually very... happy sounding]

No kidding.

[EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS STUPID]

[it is the most stupid, it's true]

[medpacksapunch]

[finds his other hand so he can hold it]

[playfreebird]

[squeezes gently]

[medpacksapunch]

[laces their fingers together]

I still don't get how this helps push back the darkness.

[playfreebird]

...What we expend in games pushes back the darkness. The more effort we expend, the more we lose, the more can be recovered...

[medpacksapunch]

[grumbles, unhappy]

yeah, well, if I have to give you up then a whole bunch of darkness better get pushed back.

[torn between being touched and amused and SRS THIS IS SRS BIZNESS

actually, this is a lot like playing with Iolite when we've decided to self-destruct]

[medpacksapunch]

[YOU BEING WORTH A LOT OF ANTI-ENTROPY IS SRS BUSINESS OKAY]

[cuddles closer]

[playfreebird]

[circles her body with one arm, holding her there and letting his cheek rest against her hair]

[medpacksapunch]

[leans into his side]

I'm gonna punch that stupid fish next time I see her.

[playfreebird]

[kisses her hair]

It will be alright.

[medpacksapunch]

...Yeah, I know.

[playfreebird]

Good.
