"Heh, good work kid."
She then looks down at the former-Sprite lying on the floor.
"Man, Elsey isn't doing so good. Kat better not stay at the dream party too long.."

Enrich blinks. Did that she just call her a kid? She has her horns grown in fully and everything! She's slightly miffed at that, but it doesn't get much at her.
The next thing however catches her attention.
"Wait, dream party? And Kat was there? Is she okay? Are you sure it was the real Kat?"

"Yeah, she seemed alright to me. It definitely was the real one, though, she was hanging out with the real Seth when I poofed."
She then pulled out her phone and attempted to text dream!shinyJiggly {SMSLog}Katie: Yo, Elsey's looking pretty messed up without Kat here. Can you get her and Seth to wake the fuck up? Thanks.

Enrich is confused now. if the "real seth" was in the dream, then who was screaming in his room?
"...just a second, let me check something."
Enrich peeks into Seth's room. Sure enough, Seth is still asleep there.
"Oh hello Enrich. Theta is showing me a fascinating magical technique right now!" Fannie excitedly points at Theta as he continues his monitoring without fanfare.
"If you haven't noticed, we've got somebody awake out here. The Witch from the couch. Says Kat's in a dream with Seth."
"Oh my. Any word upon her status?" Fannie seems surprised, but concerned.
"She says she's fine, but I'm a little iffy on her word."
Enrich looks back over at Katie in the hall, who is busy texting someone with her cellphone.
"Hey Blurple squad shades, Seth's still asleep over here. How can the real one be over there if he's over here?"
It seems she's hung up over the specifics of the wording.

"Ugh, I meant his dreaming self, duh."

Katie, frustrated by the lack of results from her friend, decides to try and get into a vacant room to sleep. She tries to open one of the doors, taking care to avoid the one Seth's apparently in and the ajar door Elsey must have crawled out of.

A rift opens with a slash!
Beyond it, Seth stands in a damp forest, wearing dark baggy pants and his old favorite gray infinity tee. In one hand, his technoscythe, in the other, a slice of pepperoni and olive pizza. He steps back slightly and waits. Soon enough a certain someone walks through the rift.
It's Kat.
With her safe transversal, Seth follows behind into the hallway as well. The rift closes behind them.
"We did it. We're home."
A moment passes, and suddenly a sinking feeling lets itself be known to him.
He's felt something very similar before.
A foreboding wave of guilt and shame. The knowledge of great potential wasted by hate, masked thinly by supposed purpose.
And fear.
Fear of justice striking down everything he had built up before.
A fear that he may never get to see his beloved one ever again.
It's difficult to bear this weight.
Seth walks off to his room to find... he's asleep in his bed, and Theta is there at his bedside, possibly waiting for the opportunity to take him away.
Of course, Theta would do nothing of the sort, but this nagging feeling of desperation still tugs at Seth.
Theta looks over at him.
"oh hey. fancy seeing you here."
Nervousness sets in.
"...Stay away from my body."
"Are you... okay there? Your heart rate has gone up a bit." Theta is still monitoring.
From the way his projected dreaming self and the way his physical sleeping self are both breathing heavier than usual, it's easy to tell that Seth is in an uneasy state right now.

Kat was about to leave the room, but notices the predicament.
"You...you seem on edge, Seth...Is there something wrong?"
The muffled voice of her friend from the room nearby spurns Elsey back into awareness. She was much too fatigued to move, however.
"K..Kaaaat.....was....was...that her....?"

Fannie is a bit surprised by this turn of events. It isn't the first time she's seen Seth asleep and dreaming at the same time, but it has been a little while since he's been... active around here. Not to mention, Kat is here!
"um, w-welcome back!"
Out in the hall, Enrich has put away her Red Sun Pendulum already. She's relieved to see that Kat is alive and well, or at least it looks that way. She wants to believe at least.
"I think so."
Seth's antics at this point are old hat enough for her to ignore them. Does that guy ever sit still without causing a scene?

Seth, still a bit shaky, drops the scythe and the pizza slice to hug Kat.
He seems to be on the verge of tears at this point.
"I need you here..."
He's not sure exactly what's going on, but hopefully Kat will help him get through this dark hour.

"I'm...I'm glad..."
Elsey goes back to being quiet.
She's...asleep, it seems.
Kat is a little bit startled by the sudden embrace, but wastes no time in trying to console him...Despite not knowing why he's suddenly acting this way.
Perhaps it had something to do with that network that's been mentioned before...
"There, there...I'll be here for as long as I need to..."

Seth holds onto Kat tight, relieved to have her so close.
"thank you..."
A moment passes, and then... what is this terrible feeling?
"aaAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
tighter and tighter the thread is pulled from him, causing an unknown pain to be felt...
and then... nothing.
Seth can't feel anything from his connection to Thoren anymore.
Had the tie been severed?
Seth loosens his hold on Kat, slightly embarrassed at his own reactions, but mostly just surprised and concerned.
"...it's gone. I can't feel him anymore. I, don't know what to think about this."
And then, almost as soon as the connection had snapped, it reappeared.
Seth's worries are quelled, and thankfully the urges to overreact are gone.
He takes a deep exhale... and notices his pizza on the ground, thankfully face-up.
Seth quietly pauses things and picks it up, dusting off the carpet fuzz from the sauce exposing sides. He then unpauses with a snap.
To the average observer, the lack of continuity regarding the pizza slice's location might be slightly jarring.
"I'm gonna wake up now. I've got business with The Wheel soon. Thanks again for, helping me through whatever the fuck that was." Seth smiles at Kat.
Knowing his job here is done, Theta lets go of his hand gently.
With that, Seth places the pizza slice on top of a dresser and disappears in a white light.

"...I, think I'll be getting back to my writing now."
Fannie decides to step out of the room.
Enrich is still out there in the hall, leaning up against a wall casually.
"Giving them a little alone time?"
"It could be phrased that way. I've forgotten how exhausting the heir's episodes can be."
"Heh, you need to get out more. I knew this schmoe that would throw fits like you wouldn't believe. Seth's got nothing on Travis..." Enrich laughs uneasily. She wonders what that whiny pompous snag is up to nowadays... probably not anything important.

Seth sits up in bed, yawning. The group is still in the room, and the pizza slice still where he had left it. "welcome back. i'm glad to see you awake again." Theta steps back a little to give Seth some space. Seth climbs out of bed and begins doing some stretches. He's got something big to do. It's not too long before he finishes his routine. After that, he grabs the pizza slice off the dresser and eats it pretty quickly. A deep breath taken. He's ready. Seth looks to Kat... and smiles. "If you need me, I'll be up top, above the ship. I want this new beginning to be totally fucking badass."And with that, Seth picks up his technoscythe, slashes a gash above him, and lifts up into the hole that leads out into space. The gateway seems to be lasting longer than usual, and dream logic should probably cover any breathing concerns. ==>
Hours later...Seth hops back down into his room. The crowd has dispersed at this point, though Theta has taken refuge in his lantern in the corner of the room for the night. He yawns and climbs into bed. Maybe tomorrow he'll get some things done around here. |
