Are you all alright? Get enough rest. I'll be right there.

[and shale will open an archway into the medbay! ahhh!]

[chevaliered]

[ lmao i'm sorry he's going to be a terrible person until the next cyoa comes back ]

[petalbursts]

[ ruby respects him for this. she still frowns sadly :c ]

[chevaliered]

[ it's probably fine but it's not. ]

[petalbursts]

[ when shale appears ruby will wave...with her 1 hand. ]

We're all stabilized, for the most part.

[georeject]

[clarte nods blindly.]

Hello... Shale?

[they assume? that's who's walked in?]

[decisions]

[ percy gives a wave from where he's situated, very carefully bandaged up. he'll look at shale a moment with concern before giving a small wave as well. ]

Good to see you...

[graverot]

[you guys all got so wrecked. looking at all of you with concern but the medbay pods are crowded tonight so he understands.]

You really went through it. What happened?

I can't really do anything for you outside what the pods can do.

[georeject]

[distantly, because clarte is still feeling kind of light-headed and definitely very tired—]

I think we met your family...

[graverot]

Uh. Pardon?

[he doesn't know, what this means.]

[georeject]

[they will let the others explain.]

[graverot]

[nods gently at clarte. not that they can tell.]

...Are you alright there? Been swimming or something?

[georeject]

I feel like I was tossed in the waves for a week... which might've really happened? At this point, it's a little hard to remember what was an illusion and what wasn't...

[they are so tired.]

[chevaliered]

A lot. You have sisiters?

[graverot]

[oh. this is a little clearer? maybe? but he's frowning, grayscale lichen growing and curling around his neck and out from his collar. droopy ears.]

...Yeah. Two of them.

[chevaliered]

Mm. We met them. They helped us out.

[ slightly LESS of an ass for a moment. ]

They said they're waiting. But, whenever you're ready.

[graverot]

[he drums his fingers against his arm, which has sort of a hollow sound, frowning, ears drooping.]

That's...really nice to hear. I'm glad they helped you, wherever you were. Obviously you guys needed it.

[there's something quite hesitant about this.]

[decisions]

Clarabelle? And... Colton? And Calliope, I think. There were others as well.

[petalbursts]

Corrin, too. And your mom and dad, as well.

[graverot]

...Oh.

[well. he goes extremely quiet at that, and grey starts to spread across his fingers, too.]

That's everyone, yeah. That's all of them. What's going on...?

[petalbursts]

[ oh ruby sees that and is immediately concerned. ]

Um...well if it hadn't been for your sisters, we wouldn't have made it out.

[ pauses and reaches for something by the cot.]

They were stone, but with the help of this they were able to unfreeze.

[ she will hold the staff out to him. ]

[graverot]

[and then that jogs it even more. touching a hand to the his chest.]

...All three of them were there?

[decisions]

[ he nods ]

More of them, even, just as Ruby said... they were in the middle of a great forest full of petrified animals...


[ a beat ] They had something to give you, Ruby has it, I believe. And they said... that they're waiting for you. Whenever you're ready.

[graverot]

[he doesn't really know how to take this. he's frowning, drumming his fingers against his arm, which has a sort of hollow sound, ears drooped a bit.]

...That's very kind of you. I'm glad that you saw them, and...those are my people. It's important.

These things are just dreams. Petrified animals...I don't know what that is, what that refers to. These are things the prism creates, based on...I don't even know what input.

But the fact that you saw them there, that maybe they did you a kindness or you did them a kindness, either way, I'm grateful to hear of it.

[but he doesn't sound grateful, exactly. he just sounds tired and sad.]

[petalbursts]

[ she's bandaged up nicely, at least! ]

No worries, you just being here helps.

[ she nods to what clarte and crow say. ]
