Acension city

[Aconitum]

Acon climbed back onto the bed and sat next to Ray. "Maybe you wanna talk about it?" She offered.

[SadDubwool]

"Scientists...they...replaced my natural being....with cold mechanics"

[Farewell]

*she breaths in and out closing her eyes and forcing herself to get up taking of all the machines connected to her* "uggh!" *she begins to walk out the hospital to go home*

[SadDubwool]

*He looks at her walk out and steals clothes from a nearby office*"GAIA!! WAIT!!"

[Farewell]

*she slowly stops waiting while holding her side*

[SadDubwool]

*He catches up*"What...are....you....DOING!?!"

[Farewell]

"Going home... I hate the hospital" *she gives a weak smile and beginning to walk again*

[Rayleonarde]

*I look at Acon for a moment, my eyes blank. I blink, and nod.* "Y-Yeah...sure."


"Y-you see...it all started after my first memory wipe. Just some inane things this guy was afraid of, skeletons, spiders, et cetera. B-but the farther I went...ugh...it...it was awful. A wolf with a snapped neck...his head was literally upside down...a young vixen stabbed through the lower abdomen, and it came back up out of her mouth...jackals killing and eating children...a cat getting filled with water until she exploded...a...a bear getting torn in half by...ugh...I don't even think I can talk about it...and those were just the first hundred! I...I can't explain the new ones...I just...can't."


*I look at Acon, a tear falling down my face.* "It...it's awful...I...I don't know what to do."

[Aconitum]

Acon moved closer to Ray and hugged him. "This probably isn't gonna help much, but that really sucks. I guess with different memory workers, comes different blow back."

[Rayleonarde]

*I lean into Acon's embrace.* "I...I hardly sleep at night. I'm surprised no-one's mentioned it...I'm usually up at midnight...and I just wander the halls afterwords." *I close my eyes.* "I've been operating on like...four hours of sleep all week...last week was worse...the mission I got distracted? A hallucination kept drawing my eye."

[Farewell]

*she grabs the horse's shoulder to keep balance as she walks with him*

[Aconitum]

Acon pat Ray's back in an effort to sooth. "I would sudgest working yourself, but you'll blow through a lot of memories doing it."

[Rayleonarde]

*I chuckle.* "I've tried...oh, how I've tried...it's manifested into something else...something more than just thoughts...I'd show you...but at what cost? Your sanity? I-It's not worth it...misery loves company, I know...but not at that cost." *My breathing slows.* "I...just...need to...sleep is all..." *I fall asleep.*

[SadDubwool]

*The Horse brings gaia to her apartment*

[Farewell]

* she sits on her couch taking off her shoes* "thank you" *she gives a weak smile and lays down*
