Rise blushes bright red from Jovin's comment, still not used to being called cute, even if it is just their horns. They quickly lift up the makeshift hood of the blanket to obscure their horns and some of their face. Collecting their wits, they also uncaptcha their Dawn poke-beanie, and slip that on as well.
"...okay, that should hopefully work."
Rise takes a deep breath.
"So, we need to pick a stakeout point. I'm thinking possibly somewhere near the chain of derspit, but maybe somewhere as far as the edgelord cave on the meteor. Any ideas or preferences?"
Rise briefly recalls some memories that Thoren shared with them at some point, so they have a relatively good idea on how to navigate over there. Plus, if the recently posted diary pages are any indication EF has apparently been absent from the area for a while, so there won't be any danger from sudden meetings with them.
Rise doesn't mention this for now, not wanting to lose RN's trust.

“Hmm, I don’t think people look at the Derspit chain that often. So we could camp out in one of its rungs?” He says, smiling a little bit at Rise’s blush. “…huh, i guess they are kinda attractive if you’re not thinking of… the menace.” He whispers subconsciously, thinking aloud.

Jovin blinks at Rise pulling their hoodie up, before chuckling at the beanie "That works and looks good on ya. Yeah, don't really think of that Fucker anymore..." Jovin nods at that. "Yeah the chain sounds good, as long as I don't have to move around alot, or with one of you folks when we do move..."

Rise completely covers their face with the blanket hood at this point.
It takes at least a minute for their heart rate to return to normal. Everyone across The Network in their native time could tell that they're flustered from this.
Eventually they wind up giving themself a hug while lost in their thoughts. As soon as they realize they're doing this however, they quickly stop doing that.
"...if anyone asks, you didn't see that."
Rise listens to Jovin, slightly shaken by the extra rage in his voice at the mention of The One Who First Had The Horns.
"...That location works for me. Ready to take off?"

Jovin looked at Rise with concern, hesistating for a moment before, walking foward and placing what he hope is a calm and friendly hand on their shoulder. "...Sorry bout that. And see what? Yeah sorry I... Really didn't like that guy, and none of that is directed to ya. "
"...Sonic is still a thing?"

“I sure Hope so in the future” He says, giggling a little.

Rise adjusts the hood to be at a more practical position.
"...thanks. No offense taken, I'm not that guy and I never will be. And yeah, Sonic the hedgehog is totally still a thing."
After a brief moment, Rise prepares to take off.
"Let's go."
They lift off the ground and begin ascending at a steady pace, blanket cape fluttering in the wind.

Patrick takes off with them, flame jets kicking on from his boots as he flies up. A patch of revealed grass is left on the Land’s surface.

Jovin nods, keeping his hand on their shoulder till they lift off, taking a little breath before flying up after them, his flight a bit shaky but he makes sure to keep them in sight.

 And so they fly towards the chain of Derspit, a cold chill whipping past them. Despite this however, Rise continues onward with them with determination. As it turns out, getting flustered earlier did a lot to keep them warm. Soon enough, they arrive at the chain that links the land and the meteor together. Being a prospit dreamer, Rise gravitates towards landing on a yellow link. The chain links are very large and sturdy, making for plenty of room for a party of 3 to stand on one. |

Patrick leans against the right side of the chain, covering the ears on his helmet. “…gods do these voidspawn ever shut up..?”

Jovin veers off a bit but is able to get back on track to the chain, landing lightly on the chain and 'standing' on the side of it near Rise as he looked around. "Nice view..." He tilts his head, listening.

 Rise glances around a bit too. The rough snow fields appear to blanket the entire Land, resolving into roughly cut hills and mountains. Looking up, the meteor is upside-down from their perspective, and it's a bit dizzying to look at. The Beacon's light streams from a distant place up there. A comforting point of light in the otherwise endless darkness of the void beyond. Rise takes a moment to try and listen to the deafening silence of the abyss. Fortunately, while Rise can hear something out there, it's largely muffled by the wind and snow. Natural noise to filter out the unnatural. "This is quite the place... I've only been here in dreams before, so seeing and hearing it all in person is a bit different from what I'm used to."
Meanwhile, back at the dome, a number of enigmatic small creatures slip out from seemingly nowhere. It's difficult to see them from the chain with the naked eye, but one would at least be able to see moving brown specks of some sort. They certainly have a heat signature, bafflingly undetected before this moment. To the keen observer, it would be apparent that they all are carrying shovels and paint buckets. To those that know their unova Pokedex, it would be apparent that they greatly resemble audino, but of a different color. As none of the three had visited the tower of gospel, which has yet to manifest, none of the party is aware that they look just like the creature that operated the front desk there. Soon enough however, they begin their task, and start painting the dome purple. "...are we ready to jump ahead a few days?" |
