[Have a very shell-shocked Warrior stumbling past you, Terry. He'd greet you, but he isn't really aware at the moment.]

gimmethesuit February 19 2011, 05:53:46 UTC

[Yeah no kidding, he almost stepped on Terry.]

Watch it buddy, there's people sitting here.

bellator_lucis February 19 2011, 06:01:04 UTC

[The Warrior starts violently.]

I - sorry. I didn't see you.

[Hang on. That voice.]

...Terry, isn't it?

[He's not certain at all, and that's reflected in his voice.]

gimmethesuit February 19 2011, 06:17:07 UTC

[Well that's a little weird. Terry doesn't remember bumping into this guy before.]

Uh huh. Sorry, have we met?

bellator_lucis February 19 2011, 06:50:04 UTC

You told me about percussive maintenance.

[His voice is very tired.]

gimmethesuit February 19 2011, 06:54:05 UTC

[OH. Right.]

Warrior ... something. Right?

bellator_lucis February 19 2011, 06:57:57 UTC

Yes.

I apologize for disturbing you.

[He's going to move to go unless you stop him, Terry.]

gimmethesuit February 19 2011, 07:21:36 UTC

No problem, I'm fading myself.

[Terry's not particularly interested in following the stranger. He is somewhat curious to hear how he fared in the mess though.]

Wild party, huh?

bellator_lucis February 19 2011, 20:20:42 UTC

[That halts the Warrior in his tracks. Did - did Terry just make a joke about this?

If he could muster the energy, he would be angry. But he's too tired for that.]

I was immobilized by the creature. I was just freed.

[You'd be surprised how much Terry's learned to take in his stride. It doesn't mean it's not there, it doesn't mean he's callous or turned off to it. But Bruce taught him that there wasn't time to mope or dwell on things; he had to learn and move on as quickly as he could. It wasn't easy though, and sometimes bad jokes and stupid remarks are the best thing he can think of responding with while he's working through things.

He winces]

Ouch.

[He pauses.]

What was it ... like in there?

bellator_lucis February 20 2011, 00:43:30 UTC

Like nothing you can imagine.

[There's a pause while the Warrior seeks for words that can possibly describe the hellish experience.]

Even when you remain as still as you can under your own will, there is movement. Your hearts beats, your lungs expand and contract. This did not allow for such things, and yet awareness continued.

[With only your own mind for company, since statues can't see or hear, knowing that if you don't breathe you will die, and yet continuing to live...]

gimmethesuit February 20 2011, 02:31:15 UTC

[Jesus. That's horrible. Terry's expression reflects his growing horror as the Warrior goes on, and he gapes.]

Man, that's glitched. That musta been terrifying.

bellator_lucis February 20 2011, 06:00:32 UTC

I would not wish the experience on my worst enemy.

gimmethesuit February 21 2011, 00:00:57 UTC

No kidding.

[And considering the fates of some of the criminals Terry's faced, it throws a whole lot of very uncomfortable things into perspective for him.]

Well uh, glad you got outta there.

bellator_lucis February 22 2011, 23:24:10 UTC

So am I.

[But if you don't mind, he's been standing still too long for his comfort, so he'll be moving off now. Bye Terry!]
