"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Seth suddenly wakes up in a cold sweat, gripping his pillow. He looks around and is relieved to be in his room again. Anything is better than that fucking cursed elevator.
Taking a moment to calm down, he searches for Thoren.
Thoren has made it to the top floor without him. They are separated across the two realms, but can still communicate through their link, most easily through reading each other's emotional output.
Seth calls out for Thoren internally.
There seems to be quite a bit of confusion on his side, likely regarding Seth's reaction to the elevator. Otherwise, there is quite a bit of confidence. Seth is still somewhat shaken from the nightmare, but is able to at least send a sentiment of approval.
He finally checks the time. It's 9:30am. Later than usual. The main sun is already climbing in the sky.
Seth needs to take his mind off this dream shit for a little while and relax for a bit. As expected, his energy level is lower than usual.
He makes his way downstairs to get something to eat.

Kat is still in her magically induced nap...Looks like she might fall off the couch at any moment, though.

Seth goes over to check on Kat on the way to the kitchen. Noticing her precarious position, he tries to move her back into a safer one. It takes a little bit more effort than expected (mostly due to still trying to rebuild his lost strength after that 10 month coma), but he's able to push her further back onto the couch.
He almost wants to stroke her hair, but that would be too creepy. Maybe he could, brush her hair for her? With a clean hairbrush of course. Maybe if he meets up with her in their dreams he can ask about things like that. Wait, that would be creepy too. He decides to only bring it up if it becomes applicable to the situation.
Thoren seems to be slightly nervous for some reason, or is it just Seth's situational weirdness being projected onto him? It's hard to tell, but he gives Thoren the benefit of the doubt.
As Seth finally resumes walking to the kitchen, he wonders if Kat needs to eat something eventually. Do godtiers even have the absolute need to eat food like average mortals do? Wait, is she even a-wait she is, she showed off that old pic of her in her time sylph uniform. The question still stands, but he'd rather be safe than sorry. Fuck, he might need Ben's help to set up life support equipment for her or something. Wait, maybe he could have Thoren possess her body every few couple of days to take care of her? Wait, Thoren is already busy with leading an army right now, and besides, that would be a big violation of her privacy.
He really needs to contact her about all this shit soon, for the sake of her health. If she doesn't wake up in a few days or if he doesn't get any contact from her soon, he's breaking that crystal.

December 25th, 2015, early evening.
The crystal quickly flashes before losing it's color and light completely.
Kat jolts upward into a sitting position, immediately clutching at her heart. Her breathing is heavy...and her whole body is shaking.
Tears slowly dripping down her face, she covers it with her hands.
'I...It's just a nightmare...a nightmare...' her voice scarcely above a whisper.
Why does this keep happening, she thought. Why couldn't she reach her colleagues in the dream she used to have...?
She thought she could find the answer in her own dreams, but it doesn't seem to be working.
She lies back down, eyes still open as she doesn't want to go back into sleep right now.
'There has to be an answer...there has to be...'

Seth is busy fishing in the middle of the ocean, sitting in a wooden boat. Considering Thoren seems to hate Christmas with a burning passion, there's not much to do around here besides go fishing.
He's attached the crystal to a string and is wearing it as a necklace. That way he can always monitor her condition while out and about.
Upon seeing the crystal flicker out, he drops everything in shock.
He has to check on Kat.
Seth jumps up and quickly captchalogues his boat and fishing equipment. He can always go fishing some other time later.
He zooms back towards the island at top speed, even using his time powers to give himself a boost. Thoren seems confused at Seth's sudden alarmed state, but seems to understand that it's about Kat.
Soon enough he arrives back onto the island and stumbles back onto dry land. Almost falling over, he dashes into the house.
"KAT!" Seth stands at the door, looking over at her on the couch.
Seeing her awake, he briskly walks up to her.
"Kat, Are you okay?"

Seth's sudden appearance urges her to quickly wipe her face, trying to mask her tears.
'I...I'm fine...My..My dream was just a little too much for me to handle, t-that's all.' that would be a complete understatement, she thought.
But she didn't want to worry him as he's already got too much on his side...

Hearing her voice calms his nerves considerably.
"I'm so glad you're alright..."
Overcome with emotion, he doesn't have the restraint to not hug her.
He could probably use a bit of practice with hugging, but the sentiment is definitely there.

The hug causes her to completely shatter her facade, tears fall as she holds him tightly.
That nightmare was too much to handle, it seems...

January 21st, 2016
Seth wakes up in his bed, mostly rested. He looks over at the window. The suns have barely even risen yet. The clock nearby says 7:39 on it. It's early.
He gets out of bed, yawns and stretches. He then goes off to the bathroom for the morning routine.
About an hour later, he's finished taking a shower and such and has already gotten dressed. Today seems a little different, so he decided to wear something else rather than the usual. A black sports jacket with a red trim, and some black slacks. Something he used to wear often while walking about in Neon City.
Somewhere around 8:53am, Seth finally makes it downstairs.
As usual, he checks on Kat before entering the kitchen.

She doesn't seem to be here. Her mess on the table is still there, though.
Looks like she's left a note on top of an open notebook.

Seth smiles, though can't help but feel a little concerned. It's so much different when you can't ever really know for sure if they're okay or not. He trusts she can handle being on her own for a couple hours though.
He walks into the kitchen and makes something for breakfast.

Unknown date due to parallel event uncertainty, likely during the same day...
Seth suddenly feels a pained weakness, followed by a rush of defensive anger.
Obviously it's from Thoren. Whatever had verbally assaulted him is uncertain, but it at least seems it was offensive enough to throw him into a fervent rage. He can feel the flames building. From experience, getting this angry never turns out well, but what to do? He's charging some sort of magic attack, fueling it with his anger.
Seth has an idea. He can burn off Thoren's excess rage through rigorous physical activity. It has to be something that won't cause destruction though... Can't chop the grass or plants, they're already properly trimmed... The sea! Swimming is tiring enough! Immediately, tossing off his jacket, he runs to the beach, fueled by Thoren's rage. He hurriedly dashes into the tide until he's able to begin swimming.
Seth paddles out into the warm waters, getting pelted by the waves.
After about a minute of swimming, the rage has finally given way to slight exhaustion. Thankfully, he doesn't have to swim back. Seth floats up out of the water and flies at a leisurely pace back to the island.
He's definitely regained a lot of his strength and stamina over the past few months, though still he isn't quite at the point that he was previously at before the coma. He vaguely remembers taking on a tougher regimen to train to fight a mysterious aspect-shifting player who was planning on destroying the heart of the universe. It seems that figure was either lost to the Rift, or just plain failed somehow.
At least working out gives him something to do while waiting for that trip to Korous to initiate.
Seth lowers himself onto the grass to rest for a moment. His shoes and other clothes are soaking wet, sans the jacket that was tossed off shortly before. The ground is nice and firm, unlike the water. He takes a nap for a little while, but doesn't really go anywhere special like last night. Just a regular old, easily forgotten dream.

Sometime in the very near future....The much beloved Imperial Hat Blimp floats idly above, launching dozens upon dozens of identical poor quality posters from high above. Most are blown astray and land in the ocean, though some make it through and others are washed back ashore.
A second identical blimp temporally blinks into existence moments after the last poster is dropped from the first, and begins the barrage anew. The original Blimp temporally blinks away, very obviously to complete this completely pointless time loop.

May 7th, 2017
It's been a while.
Seth and Thoren had travelled here a couple days ago in hopes that getting off the ship would reduce Seth's stress over Kat's condition.
So far, it's been pretty ordinary, as far as things go around here. Relaxing, fishing, spooky pranks, old movies... it's a break from the problems that plague them, but it's a needed one.
It can only be guessed how long until they're dragged back into action again...

May 8, 2017 Seth and Thoren step out for a little bit and return hours later with a guest. Brennan spends the night there. jingloria.wertercatt.com/lostpawns/logs2/lpevents/SBARGv2_Heirisland_2017-5-8.html
A day later... A return path is offered periodically, though Seth is focused on planning for the raid on a particular fortress much of the time. It seems to be keeping his mind off the usual stresses involving Kat's condition. Thoren just tries to watch out for him mostly. Don't want Seth going overboard and neglecting his own health, especially this close to the planned date of the mission... |
