INTO THE VOID

[A STUBBORN AND FOOLHARDY GROUP OF EXPLORERS FALL ASLEEP AND SWIM INTO A DEEP DARK OCEAN ABYSS

There’s no punchline that’s actually what they’re doing. ]

[ since ada believes this will be nothing more but a reconnaissance mission, and knowing who will be going along with it, she finally relents to eve's pestering and lets her take control for now. seems like a good arrangement for them to have. it'll allow her some rest as she stays in the dreamworld and eve gets a chance to stretch her consciousness, so to speak, by traveling away from ada. everyone theoretically wins long as nothing goes wrong.

(though if anyone who asks where ada is, they'll get a mumbled reply from eve that she had a... bad... stomach... or something... they're twins but its not like they're attached or anything! hahaha... anyways-)

eve tries to speak with the others as they travel on, her voice soft as if afraid to be too loud as she tries to learn names and faces from the group. she seems mostly curious about what they do on the base and what they were doing prior to their arrival.

at one point she even attempts to speak with the creature! no harm in that, right? ]


Thank you again for accompanying us. It's very kind of you to do.

[ Chihiro is glad that she doesn't tire in the dreamscape like she does in waking life; it'd make this exploration still difficult, and it's already frightening enough... while also exciting. She makes herself keep focused based on what all the older, more experienced people have said.

It's as they've been speaking with the friendly creature escorting them that Chihiro comes to ask if it calls itself by anything in particular. Learning that it doesn't, well. She faces a conundrum. The lovely creature doesn't have a name, and doesn't particularly feel an affiliation to any one name, but will allow them to choose one to associate with them.

Time to poll the audience.
]

They deserve a name. Um... does anyone have any suggestions?

I was thinking of 'Salacia' in my head. The Roman goddess of saltwater. [ it seemed fitting enough with how she heard the stories of the goddess being kind and vigilante, patient and generous.

if eve seems surprised to see chihiro here, she keeps it to herself as she speaks to her. ]
What do you have in mind for her?

[ Chihiro shakes her head, floating still in this landscape in a way she doesn't quite manage the same while awake. ]

I hadn't decided. I haven't had to give anyone a new name before. As long as it's a good one, I think anything we come up with together will be nice. Salacia is the name of a goddess, you said?

With how she wants to help and to protect? I agree. Though you're right, two URSULAs would be too many, if we can help it. Though any one name can belong to several people.

[ She wills her own silence with a sort of humming energy, thoughtfulness lending itself to emotion while she considers possibilities. ]

One of the others was suggesting Salacia. I was thinking even Cia-san might work... or maybe Otohime?

[ She doesn't know. What about a name for all on her own? ]

I think Mamori would also be a nice name. It's kind of related to the idea of being a protector.

What exactly is malevolence?

[ Snippets of chatter might have made their way to her, but overall, that's more because of her own silence and tendency to fade back and listen as they've been moving along. Mikleo dropping back is an opportunity for her: mostly to ask the wrong question, but it's a start. Chihiro wants to be helpful, and so not interrupting others has felt most helpful so far. ]

Malevolence?

[ well now. she had to admit that mention of 'malevolence' was… intriguing to say the least.

picking up the telepathic communication, eve tried to give the two privacy but she gleaned enough information from what she heard to understand that this is quite serious. well, of course it is but…

she never heard the others speak of that specific thing before, this malevolence. ]
If this is the illness, more less, does it mean its infectious? Should we approach with caution?

[Sorey listens intently to the Emperor's responses as they ask their questions; he does his best to keep a reassuring and open connection with her, to help ease the frustration of being stuck. By the time she's answered most of their questions, though, he's frowning a little at the malevolence emanating from her. It doesn't seem to be enough to turn her into a hellion, but for a creature as massive as her it's still concerning. It only increases his desire to find a way to get her out, to see if it helps. He steals a look at the rest of the group to see if they've got any thoughts.]

I'm open to suggestions if anyone's got them.

Fortunately, we've been able to reshape our surroundings. I think it's obvious. There's strength in numbers. If we work together, we may be able to help her.

Chara's out-thrust arm cuts her off, looking to them with a firm sort of silence, one where her listening is near palpable alongside the different shade of determination: getting through. Talking to those who aren't listening is nigh impossible, but it doesn't mean one doesn't try.

Her eyes are drawn to the darker dissipation around their shoulder.

pointlessly self indulgent but /thumbs... up... on the surface in dreamscape afterward

[ She's quiet, listening to anyone willing to speak after the fact, finding her eyes drawn surface-ward more often than not. Chihiro swallows, moves when a group moves back, toward the safer waters.

Then she swims. Swims, but doesn't swim toward much; swims up, because the most pressing urge she has right now is to breach the surface and breathe even when she knows she's only dreaming. It's an urge that carries in her emotions, touching on anything nearby, lingering once she's passed. The homesickness, the heartsickness, and the driving need to get up. Even breaking the surface isn't enough, surrounded as she is by then with figments of her own memories. Fat fish ghosting by on the wings of birds, the light of this place unable to drown out the light of a sky. A living world, and a living entity. Part of it lived above the surface too, but no amount of manipulation could change the idea of this sky to match one of her own. She'd have to be below for that to work.

There's a logic to what she does manifest, the serpentine form of a dragon easier than even Haku's human form. He's a person she's left behind, and one day, some years from now, she's certain they will meet again. He'd promised. She has faith in that promise. It makes it easier to bear him as a memory where the thought of her parents makes her stomach feel small and her chest constrict. He swims around her in the water, going still when she turns to face him, mane and whiskers still in constant motion. Her face falls, and she kicks out, swimming closer, reaching out to touch a memory that stays as still as she can remember him holding in front of Zeniba's cabin. She buries her face against his forehead, letting her tears fall like the saltwater that sheds off her face, dripping off her hair.

I'm not going to forget them. [ Her parents, but she doesn't name who. ] How are we going to help them? [ The Emperor and the Dragon. She also doesn't bother naming either. ] It feels so big. Does that ever get easier?

[ It's her memories, and her mind, supplying only questions and silence as answer. The form of the dragon Haku could be simply stayed as he was, watching through green eyes. Solving problems this big felt impossible; but even at the thought, she knows she can't give up. It's her form of determination mingled in with stubbornness, knowing she'll keep trying regardless.

Knowing that while she might be escaping in the moment to a friend in memory, that she has friends and companions to turn to and rely on here, too. It makes it easier to let go, running one hand over Haku's maned face, pulling her head back and rubbing at her eyes.

I guess it doesn't matter. I've still got to do everything I can either way.
