Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ She watches, a little uncertain, but not scared ]

Your magic's weird.

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

Ahh, that's because this one's borrowed. From a friend actually.

[ Once he touches the wound, he shouts out: ]

Heal!

[ A flurry of shimmering green leaves appear above the injury and trickle down to it, carrying with them a convalescing energy. ]

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ As the wounds close, she lets out a quiet sigh, as if a long-carried pain has finally been lifted ]


...Thanks. I guess.

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

No problem. How do you feel?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

Well, I'm not oozing blood anymore, so better.

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

I'll take that as a good thing! What's your name? I'm Night.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

Dare.

[ she pauses, looking you over ]

You're one of her friends, I guess. I'm still not supposed to let you up.

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

Dare? I remember you! She's talked about you before!

And I'm more than her friend. I'm her teammate.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ She seems to perk up a bit, hearing that she'd been talked about ]

Yeah, well. Technically you're still not supposed to go up.

...Technically.

[ She looks a little like she might be warming up to the idea of bending the rules, though ]

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

What do you mean?

[ And then his gaze drops, as he remembers the last time he heard lucky talk about Dare...]

Ahh, so that's what happened...

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

Well, I mean. I'm not supposed to let anybody up.

But I guess teammates don't really count as "anybody", do they?

[ she shrugs ]

You and Miss Dream could go up if you wanted. I guess.

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

Eh? Miss Dream?

[ Turning back toward the younger girl ]

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ The little girl waved ]

Karen. I have a lot of important dreams, that's all. And I know my way around here.

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

[ Waves back ]

So you want to come with me, Karen?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

If you want me to. It's up to you, after all.

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

Well, I want to get to know Lucky's people better and this may be my only chance.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ Karen nods, and steps up next to you ]

We're just echoes. I think you'll get to know her better than us. But I'm glad to help.

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

I want to learn more about you too, Dare.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ she shakes her head ]

I need to stay here. Stand guard, you know?

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

Oh, I get it. Well, I'll come back then once I see what's upstairs.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

Sure.

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

[ Time to go upstairs then ]

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ The staircase is dark and steep, and when you get to the top, you're faced with a poorly-lit hallway. On the right-hand side of the hallway are three identical, unmarked doors, and on the left is one door - identical to the others but for a battered plaque that says "Office". ]

Re: The Lobby

[stigmateyes]

[ He turns to Karen ]

What do you think?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ she shakes her head ]

That's not how it works. I follow you.
