Her gaze returned to him. "I like it. A lot."

I couldn't help but stare. It's like looking at a painting. A masterpiece. ".....you do?"

2015-12-29 21:48:57

●

She nodded. "Yes."

2015-12-29 21:55:33

🌀

"That's....I-I mean, I guess it did turn out pretty well overall, if this is what they were going for....thanks....wait, you haven't been wandering around this forest this whole time, have you?"

2015-12-29 21:57:21

●

"Oh, no. I woke up in this castle of some sort, actually. I was exploring with Seculus until he woke up."

2015-12-29 21:58:54

🌀

"Oh, that's good. Though I told him not to go to sleep..."

2015-12-29 21:59:28

●

"Well looks like that plan didn't work."

2015-12-29 22:00:30

🌀

"Apparently not. But I was assuming something similar would happen to him. Is he okay? Neither of you are...I don't know, missing limbs or something?"

2015-12-29 22:01:33

●

"I'm not. He's a bit well...disconnected, for lack of a better word. Other than that? He's perfectly fine here."

2015-12-29 22:03:15

🌀

"Disconnected?" What's that supposed to mean?

2015-12-29 22:03:41

●

"It's like...he was cracked like I was, but on top of that there are parts of him that move somehow when there's no way they're attached to his body."

2015-12-29 22:05:13

🌀

"...that's....okay, that's disturbing. But I can relate. Sounds like a good metaphor for his soul fragments, though."

2015-12-29 22:08:39

●

"Mhmm."

2015-12-29 22:13:18

🌀

"But I guess they're not around here normally, so they'd just.....be.........." I trailed off and went stiff. What? Am I dead? ....wait, that's not it, the key probably just unwound. And here I was desperately hoping it was permanent.....

2015-12-29 22:17:41

●

She noticed he trailed off. Immediately, she started to wind the key up again.

2015-12-30 03:45:10

🌀

I shuddered and continued my sentence, crossing my arms. ".....be in his head, still. Right?" So, let's see....I only exist as anything with purpose or meaning when someone's around to wind me up. ....yep, sounds like the definition of an object.

2015-12-30 05:24:44

●

"Not exactly. They're somewhat people."

2015-12-30 06:07:34

🌀

"Really? So they have free reign and everything? That doesn't sound like it'll end well."

2015-12-30 06:19:11

●

"To an extent, yes."

2015-12-30 06:38:53

🌀

"I hope it's a pretty small extent."

2015-12-30 07:29:41

●

"They're like people? But it seems they can't go far. You'd have to see it for yourself sometime to get the full picture."

2015-12-30 07:31:34

🌀

"Let's see if we're all asleep at the same time, in the same area, ever. A greater feat considering how intricate this place has gotten."

2015-12-30 07:35:26

●

"Well the castle I woke up in isn't too far from here."

2015-12-30 07:36:50

🌀

"Can we head over there?"

2015-12-30 07:37:56

●

"Absolutely. " She turned towards the cobble path.
