WORLD -1

[monoguests]

[...huh, didn’t you die? Well, maybe you didn’t. You might wake up feeling like you just woke up from a really vivid nightmare that you can still sort of feel the effects of or something… sure, you’re still in your old cabin, but maybe you can go out and see everyone?

...except when you go out, while it seems like the same old camp, things are a little… strange and pixelated. Also, the walls seem to have come down, but if you try to cross the barriers of where the walls were, you’ll find yourself right back at your cabin door.

Welcome to World -1, kids. You’re probably going to be here a while… and you may not actually be alone, either.]

[OOC: Welcome to the wonderful world of post-death sidequesting! "Sidequesting," you may ask? Well... you'll get an explanation soon enough.]

It was pretty tempting.

[He smiles, and his wing shifts lightly under her hand, but doesn't pull away. He doesn't seem to mind it- and still connected to his body the feathers and wing under them feel much different then discarded molted feathers. Warm, and constantly slightly moving with every breath.]

[totaldrag]

Well, I mean, it was the easy dig. You could've gone for the fact that none of us have ever even seen his eyes.

[Well, good. She's going to keep doing it, then. As different it is from those discarded feathers, she doesn't seem to mind it.]

[effectivefacekicking]

Or the fact that his arms and legs are tiny sticks taped to an egg. Really the possibilities are endless.

[totaldrag]

See, you won the debate. He pulled out the easy jab and you managed to get him flustered without using any of the easy insults.

I'd call that a victory.

[effectivefacekicking]

[He laughs brightly]

...thanks, Ashley. I needed that.

[totaldrag]

I'm glad to help.

[effectivefacekicking]

[Now that he's feeling a little less murderous:]

So did you stop by to try out the shiny new trinket too?

[totaldrag]

I was going to speak to the good doctor about it. I'm not exactly one to shy away from the study of magical artifacts. Though, I suppose it can wait.

[effectivefacekicking]

[He lifts his hand, tugging aside his gauntlet so she an see the marking under it]

We got one down, but it doesn't mean much if we don't have someone to cover all three parts. It really might come down to his dumb machine.

[totaldrag]

[She's going to very gently take his hand now so she can examine it.]

Do you know which one you are?

[effectivefacekicking]

No clue, and the egg wasn't any help either. I might head to the library later and see if there's any more information on the Triforce. But I'll need Eggman to spell it and Hyrule for me first, and... that's not happening right now.

[Not that he could read at that level anyway, but he can haul things back for others to go over at least]

[totaldrag]

...right. You don't know how to read.

[effectivefacekicking]

I've been working on it! Look, angels aren't made to be scholars.

[totaldrag]

I'll teach you.

[effectivefacekicking]

[His eyes widen]

Really?

[totaldrag]

Yeah.

...would you be okay with that?

[effectivefacekicking]

I guess it'd be okay. It was never an issue back home, but it's been a real weakness here.

[totaldrag]

I mean. You're too cute to be illiterate. So I was gonna do it either way.

[effectivefacekicking]

[He sputters, his feathers fluffing]

Th-that has nothing to do with it-!

[totaldrag]

Yes it does.

[effectivefacekicking]

[Grumblegrumble... and then, half under his breath]

Hey, by the way... urm... back at the trial...

[totaldrag]

Back at the trial what.

[effectivefacekicking]

Why did you... you know... kiss me?

[totaldrag]

Because I like you.

[It's said so nonchalantly. Duh.]

[effectivefacekicking]

[WELL YEAH HE GUESSED THAT]

Yeah, but I almost got you and everyone else killed.
