[ Her shift schedule was so weird now, but Cid adjusted like a trooper. ...by sleeping until the sun was poised to shine in the far window of their hut. The light cut through the gap in between the blankets that served as extra insulation over the new glass windows ( Read more... )

[No matter what ways she sought to distract herself (and Karkat) from all the painful memories and disturbing dreams, no matter who they belonged to, Yenyoji is sad and exhausted. She rubs her eyes and looks down into the communicator, lacking her usual fire and vigor. Still, she forces a smile.]

I'm coming, Cid.

Thank you... [ Her voice is quiet. She can't muster up any elation in response, but her expression is calmer for a moment. ]

[ She's waiting in their hut, not able to leave the bed at all for she does not trust her legs to carry her weight. Cid has seen many grave and terrible things, but few shook her to the core as memories from that time.

Desolation, darkness, decay, dismay, Dynamis.

Why - of all the things to haunt her mind in this place - did the dream have to be of that? ]

[Wherever Yen had gotten off to, she hadn't gone far. She bursts through the door in but a few minutes' time, however long they may have felt to Cid. In her manic state, she forgets to pull off her snow-soaked boots.]

I'm here! Are you alright? Are you sick?

[ Cid jumped slightly at the sound of the door, and she put the hand down that had been covering her mouth. She licks her wounded bottom lip and shakes her head, dislodging hairs had been tucked behind her ear. ] No, I--

[ A beat, her expression turning uncertain. ] I'm not sure.

Cid...?

[ Worried derpgoon goes here ]

Are...you alright...?

steel_cyclone January 20 2011, 08:12:26 UTC

Ah-- [ She didn't filter it? There's a sigh, but she shakes her head because, well, there's no covering up for that, now. ] Mel, I'm--

I'll be alright. I'm just a little rattled.

If you say so...

Do you need anything? I can send Ember if you need anything delivered. She's been acting a bit restless, she probably wants more company anyway...

steel_cyclone January 20 2011, 08:29:40 UTC

I would be happy to see Ember, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be good company. [ A wan smile. ]

[ After a silent moment, eyes gazing downward, she risks a question. Surely, the other woman might know -- or at the very least, recognize -- one of those visions. ]...did you see them, as well? The dreams.

Hey... [North attempt to be comforting, take one]

steel_cyclone January 21 2011, 14:55:52 UTC

[ Oh, it's the young boy who commented on her cheerfulness, before. How embarrassing. ] Ah, hello, North. [ She's attempting to braid her hair, but her fingers are just not cooperating with her. ]

north_skie January 24 2011, 12:16:50 UTC

Your hair looks okay down you know... You should just leave it or something.

steel_cyclone January 24 2011, 15:04:02 UTC

[ After some more fidgeting, she stops and manages a weak smile. ] Mm, perhaps, but it's rather messy right now.
