[1969] For Every Beginning

(au) preacher maria


Preacher lifts her head at the arrival of the redhead. Her eyes are dull and unfocused, but she reaches out and accepts the hand offered, movements almost automatic.

"Yes," she says vaguely.

Shun Kuroda 21/21 | Back to the shore

Shun watched Leila, tilting his head at her reaction. In the very least she wasn't putting up a fuss about it, he supposed. Nodding once, he headed back over by Vivien, Sunny, and Chel.

Upon his return, he asked Sunny, "What do you know about the current state of the cage?"

America Jones p+1-2 c-1 Hp 18

America doesn't quite sigh in relief, but it's definitely there. "That's great! Would you come help us to go take a look at the cliffs, hun?" She gestured to the small gathering of Sunny, Vivien, Shun, Chel, and Leila.

Sunny says, "The cage is intact in all the ways that matter. The cycle will begin again as planned."

She waits for Preacher and America to join them.

Shun Kuroda 21/12 | Shore

So she was in the very least, unaware of the state of the cage in the modern era.

"Hypothetically speaking, if the cage were to break and cause rifts within the world, what sorts of things would need to be done to repair the fabric of reality?"

He wasn't expecting much of an answer.

Chester Poole; north bonfire->fringes o' group; 19/19
-1 persuasion, +2 combat

He had successfully stopped himself from puking the last time this had happened by lying on his side for an extraordinarily wasteful number of minutes, but nothing so simple was going to help this time around. Chester managed to both fall to the ground and throw up simultaneously, the splash of vomit and his knees hitting the sand at nearly the same time. He was only on the ground long enough to barf, and then he rose to his wobbly feet, joining the group that seemed the least confused of them all. Maybe they were even real people. He couldn't be the only one here from 2016.

Sunny blinks, slowly, her face oddly slack. "I don't know," she says. "I don't... use... magic that way."

(au) preacher maria


Preacher opens her mouth, closes it, opens it again, and finally says, "Okay" in a quiet voice that doesn't seem quite like her. Her hand is in America's still; she seems ready to go wherever she is led.

America Jones

"Thank you," America offers with a smile that holds both relief and an odd sort of guilt at seeing the other...gutted in this way. It's an uncomfortable thing to witness, worse to have possibly caused and even more to take advantage of.

She's gentle with Preacher as she leads the girl along the beach, carefully avoiding areas that might cause a trip or stumble. When they reach the growing group, she greets Sunny with a sudden, beaming smile and the hug she's been wanting to give the god-like being standing across a tear in the world, days and decades ago.

"Gosh..." It's all she can manage to sum up opinions and the events surrounding them.

Well, it had been worth a shot. Letting out a sigh, he glanced over to see America and Preach approaching. Waiting a bit longer, he turned back towards Vivien and Sunny.

"Are we all ready then?"

Chel trailed behind, a bit like a shadow. "Yeah," she said, picking some sand out of her jeans. "Let's get this over with."

She looked at the others warily before adding, "None of you guys are like ... seein' s**t, are you?"

Chester nets a considering look from Vivien, who offers him her other hand. (One of them is held by Sunny, still, loose-twined fingers tucked tight together.) Sunny, meanwhile, stiffens a little and tries to shrug her way out of America's hug before giving in and setting her chin on the other girl's shoulder.

"Make sure you have everyone," she says. "The memory will collapse once Vivien and Leila and Preacher leave it."

-1 to combat (moderate physical damage)

"Wait," Ashton pants, his hands on his knees, obviously winded -- there is blood matting his hair. Maybe it's his. He's not sure. "Sorry, I was -- " words fail him, and he glances at Sunny with clear distrust.

"Are we going, then?"

Shun Kuroda 21/21

Shun furrowed his brow. He was having a hard time reading just how much Sunny knew. Looking around, he tried to see who was all around in their group. A few more people had come by, but they were still missing a few who he had recalled seeing prior.

He tried to spot where the rest were.

"Oi!" he called out, raising his voice for once to try and project through the area, "Time to get moving!"

It's a bit like hugging a tolerant cat, and America's grinning as she lets go; but when she says, "Thank you," it's with an almost painful sincerity. This is absolutely not a last chance for such, absolutely not. But the girl had needed it all the same.

Taking a deep breath, she nods and then goes over to where Eve and Leila are sitting.

"You ladies need any help? I've got a little," magical finger waggle, "...if there's any climbing."
