✜020 [voice | open]

[deadly_legacy]

[The device clicks on as she is about to make a recording, but before her first word is out she makes a startled gasp instead.]

Is someone there?

...Hello?

[Another gasp and her voice trembles.] When did that get there?

[But she already knows it's part of the curse even if she'd like to think otherwise, so she just stares. What else can she do? But how long can she do it?]


(OOC: Backdated to the Don't Blink curse. And I'm going to bed and then work which I should really not use for tagging!, so I might not respond until tomorrow evening, but I will respond!)

Anyway. You're sure you're okay?

[deadly_legacy]

[Not really the word she'd use.] It feels a little silly to be afraid of a statue. [Was that an answer? It wasn't a lie at least.]

[inmyothertights]

I'm terrified.

[deadly_legacy]

Really? [More surprised you said it than that you are. Because, yes, terror applies. She doesn't want you to be afraid, but it makes he feel a little better in a way. Less alone.] I'm sure your magic is stronger than they are.

[inmyothertights]

Sometimes my magic gives out, especially the more tired I get.

[deadly_legacy]

Billy...

Do you know how many there are trying to get in? As long as you can keep watching them...until midnight. [How long was it until midnight? There was no way she could keep this up.]

[inmyothertights]

I think there are about three out there, Todd and Neil are keeping me in coffee so I should be okay until midnight.

[deadly_legacy]

You're with Todd and Neil? [Small world city] I'm glad. I'm sure together you'll stay safe. [Yes, giving pep talks to others feels better than worrying about herself.]

[inmyothertights]

They're my roommates!

[deadly_legacy]

Really? I know them both. I wonder if I saw you at Neil's birthd— [Cuts off with a scream as she blinks for just a second—less than a second really. Her eyes are open again and it's right in front of her. So close. She's just shaking.]

[inmyothertights]

Okay, Euphemia? I'm pulling you here. Is that okay with you?

[deadly_legacy]

Y-yes. [She really has no idea what you mean at the moment. She's just staring. at. it. If she were to give it some thought she'd probably be worried about you using too much magic and not being able to protect yourselves. This really shouldn't be more frightening than being held at gunpoint by terrorists, and yet...]

[Blue light surrounds her, and she teleports right into the same room where Billy is sitting crosslegged with a staff across his lap]

Are you okay?

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

[That definitely made her blink. Oh, blinking feels so good... She looks up at him with confusion, but slowly nods.] That's... amazing.

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

Man I'm just glad you're okay!

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

[Her heart is beating so fast, but that's kind of great in it's own way really.] Thanks to you. [She manages a little smile for him as she starts to relax.]

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

Do you want a soda or something? I've got a whole case of Mountain Dew.

[He tries a smile, because he wants her to know she's okay. No angels in here]

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

[Her smile warms.] Thank you. [Mountain Dew? She isn't picky and soda is sweet. She likes sweet things.] That sounds good.

[Looks around.] I can't believe I'm really here. I saw Demyx do that once or something like it.

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

[He reaches over and grabs a can and opens it for her.] Here!

The first time I managed to do that I was pretty sure I had been dreaming.

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

[She takes a drink. That is sweet! And she's going to just shut her eyes for a minute because they sting.]

I can see why. It's not the sort of thing you see where I'm from. Is it unusual where you're from?

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

Well it sort of isn't? I guess when I was a kid it was more common, before all depowering. But now it's unusual, to say the least.

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

Depowering?

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, like.

Oh hang on.

[He mutters, and his eyes glow blue, and he slumps over a little after]

There used to be a lot of people with powers, but something happened, and most of them lost their powers.

[Action]

[deadly_legacy]

[She watches the glowing eyes and it might remind her of a rather unpleasant experience with glowing eyes in her world, but she quickly puts that out of her mind when she notices him slumping. Reaching out, she touches his shoulder gently.] Billy? Are you all right?

[And now she's worried that bringing her there made him more tired, but it's a little late to prevent that.]

[Action]

[inmyothertights]

[He nods after a long minute]

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just keeping this place nice and secure.
