[open] If I could store lightning in jars

Who: Sora & OPEN
Where: The mysterious dark forest that appeared!
When: June 1
What: Bright "fireflies” have been luring gods and shinki alike deep into the forest. People are suddenly drawn to the little spots of light and can’t help but follow. There have been reports of screams and unhappy spirits and people never returning. All you know is that the sun doesn’t pierce the treetops and it’s dark.
Warnings: There's lots of creepy demons and stuff!!


[ A ]

[A sudden cold and heavy rain starts. Light and whimsical at first before it starts to pour down in thick sheets. Gray clouds blanket the sky and the sun is nearly blotted out. The atmosphere suddenly darkens and a chill is in the air.

Through the dark Sora notices some sparks of light somewhere near. They’re like candles flickering and dancing through the haze of the rain. A small smile pulls at his lips as he’s suddenly drawn to them like a moth to a flame. All he wants to do is reach out and touch one. They look like fairies.

You might notice Sora wandering through the rain, a blurry image of him slowly walking just out of your reach. Then he vanishes into the dark forest.]


[ B ]

[Perhaps it is you that got drawn into the bright dancing lights. Pulled into the woods as it makes your heart hammer. All you can focus on is the unseen force pulling your legs as you wander closer to the woods.

And suddenly everything is dark.

Sora manages to catch a glimpse of you before you vanish and he calls out.]


Hey!! Wait!! Don’t go in there!

[And promptly chases after you to stop you from falling deeper into darkness.]

[ C ]

[As soon as Sora enters the woods the rain stops. Or so it seems that way. He can still hear the thundering water in his ears but it sounds muted now. Like someone has put a blanket over the heavens and all he can hear is the thin thudding of the rain but no raindrops touch his face anymore.

He wanders through the woods as he looks up at the treetops to find that small beams of light do flicker through. Weakly, but they’re there. The gloom is still heavy.

His feet take him in a random direction until he spots a figure in the distance… Someone already lost here like him, or is that a tortured spirit...?]


[ wildcard! ]

[something else in mind?]

Sora!

[Aymeric hisses as he hears that impact, knowing that will hurt. The group of branches also slam into the lord commander, making him fall to the ground. He can see the flash of light Sora mentioned before and a thought occurs. They may be able to make it quickly if they can run fast enough. But Sora...has shorter legs. This may end up just like during the demon attack and he had to carry him and the little boy.

Wait...!]


Cover yourself!

[And Aymeric extends his arm towards the boy. If he's right and Sora has metal on, there should be a repeat of the wooden dummy incident except instead of wood, it's possible Sora may end up just zooming over to Aymeric. Again, depends if there's metal.]
onedrinkwithme: (dangerous)

[Oh good, his idea does in fact work. Aymeric's not even phased when Sora slams into him because once he sees those branches coming for them, he unsheathes his sword and slices through them. No more playing nice, it's time to get out and leave this place. Once he sees Sora out of dodge of the branches (for now), he gets up.]

Take up the back, I shall ensure their focus is on me. We will leave this place one way or another.

[And he starts to run. Aymeric was not joking when he said he would keep the spirits' attention on him; if he did not use Flash as a way, there is certainly Circle of Scorn in which several bright lights come down and attack the branches along with Aymeric's blade. He could handle a few hits just as long as he doesn't over exhaust himself. His main concern is getting Sora out but he knows the boy is a fighter as well. It's just his job to be the shield.

Just hopefully this is enough to get them within range of the exit.]
onedrinkwithme: (hold your ground)

[personal profile] onedrinkwithme 2017-01-27 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Exactly that. By keeping the 'hate' on him, Aymeric provides a good service to them both. If it isn't keeping up as a shield, it's hacking the branches. And they are hitting back if the scratches are proof, some deep enough to cause a bit of bloodshed.

But he still runs. Hearing Sora encourage him and seeing the sun come closer, one hand stays close to his body. He may be thinking about Part 3 of the Metal Flight just in case if the forest will try to keep Sora. Not on his watch.]


Are we closer?

[They better be.]
onedrinkwithme: (Fucking Paperwork)

[personal profile] onedrinkwithme 2017-01-30 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not the only one in the dirt but instead of laughter, Aymeric breaths a sigh of relief as he lets his sword fall out of his hand and away from where he himself lands. Breathing and with his eyes shut:]

That is one forest I will not be making any forays into in the future. Are you hurt, Sora?
onedrinkwithme: (content)

[personal profile] onedrinkwithme 2017-02-09 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[That worries him a little. Because what would happen if he wasn't for the next time? Hmm, it wouldn't be good to dwell on that because Sora is capable of defending himself...even if the situation can be awkward.

But he will feel the lord commander's hand on his head. Yeah, you're okay kid. Also the hair doesn't feel so pointy someone lied. Calling bullshit!]


I do these things because I care. There is no need for thanks.
onedrinkwithme: (peaceful)

[personal profile] onedrinkwithme 2017-02-15 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Or a moment when Aymeric does something stupid. It's kind of surprising that he hasn't gone too far with it since arriving in this world but who knows.]

It would not change even if they were different Sora.

[Highborn or lowborn, bastard or legitimate, elezen or hyur, that did not matter to Aymeric. It goes the same with partheons here.]

...is it strange to say that while we should stand and move more towards civilization, I rather stay lying a little longer?
