The first thing you hear is the sound of rain faintly hitting the exterior of the house. The soft pitter-patter is almost soothing, in a way, but it’s quickly followed up by rumbling thunder in the distance. You open your eyes, and for a second all you see is a flash of light--at first it seems like it’s lightning, but then you see something. A vision of a man dressed in rags, hunched over, waves of demonic power rolling over him. He howls, and something terrible starts to grow out of him: the bloody roots of a massive tree. An immense wave of panic hits you, and you can’t move, you can’t speak, you can’t breathe--

And then it’s over. It’s over. You’re fine.

The sound of rain returns. (This time it’s definitely soothing, compared to what you just saw.) You’re standing in the foyer of a mansion, a wide open living room in front of you. The door behind you is faintly ajar, leading outside.

He just kind of sighs, and hands her the frappuccino from the nearby table.

"Here, drink this. You'll feel better."

[ chuckles and takes it from him. ] If you promise to take a taste too. [ but she’ll drink it, and then she if she can’t give him a quick peck on the lips because clearly it was missing a little extra sugar! ]

The drink tastes amazing, if incredibly sweet. And you feel a gentle numbness come over you--specifically in your injured shoulder. The wound isn't healed up, but it doesn't look nearly as bad, and it definitely feels better.

He kisses back, and there's now a bit of color on his pale cheeks. "Still, this is... something strange has happened. You're not supposed to be here. No one is."

[ cute. ]

...you're telling me. I think this might have something to do with what you brought up to me. [ rolls her wrist, but doesn't go into detail. ] Help me then.

[ she reaches for his hands to cup them in between her own. ] I managed to do most of this stuff together, but... there's one last piece that I really do thing you should put into place. [ produces the amulet. ]

He stares at it for a moment.

"That... belongs down the hall, I think. It's a little hard to focus right now..."

...mm. I think it's the last piece. [ sets a hand on his head. ] Rest then, and once I finish up in there I'll come back for you, okay?

He yawns, but gives you a small smile.

"Alright. Be careful. Though, it seems you've weathered the worst thus far."

I'm nothing if not careful. [ sticks her tongue out at him. ] And you know there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.

I'll be back. [ ok. heading back into the fukbois room. ]

Live your best life, Dva.
