Wish 001

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

[Delicate snowflakes flutter down, shining stark white in the moonlight against a starless sky, somehow more delicate and intricate than normal snowflakes; special snowflakes. The ground is already coated in perfect, undisturbed white snow, piled in fluffy drifts, except for a single set of footprints.]

[Follow the footprints through the rolling drifts and copses of sweet-smelling evergreens to a lone park bench, and you'll find Yui, hands loose in her lap, bundled up in a scarf, hat, thick red jacket and a pair of jeans. She's vaguely aware that this is a dream, that in reality, she's in a different kind of snowy place--but for now it's nice to get away from it all. It's nice to dream.]

[She sighs and leans back into the bench, her breath fogging in the chilly air, taking a vague but recognizable shape--dispersing just before the pattern can be identified. There's something magic about the snow tonight. She wonders, vaguely, if there's a reason that the constellations in the midnight sky above are hidden from view.]

ooc: this can be themed or not as you like, just tell me in the subject or something. ♥

[Ami slides her hand along the ground, groping blindly for Yui's and using Yui's voice to find where she should be. She'll worry about standing up and getting their bearings once they've found each other.]

I told you before: I won't let it go.

[All of a sudden she feels Fell's and and makes to grab it tightly, almost gasping in relief.]

You won't blame me for being skeptical after my last experience with that kind of promise.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[No. But she's learned that sometimes, people turn their words into truth, too. And there's no harm voicing her own intentions.]

Come on. More importantly, we need to find a way to climb up.

[She gets to her feet slowly, taking note of the lack of excruciating pain. It's a little disconcerting simply because it's not natural.]

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

This is a dream. Is it really more important?

[--and now she's just doing it to tease, getting up, still a little shell-shocked..]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

I won't be trapped in a dream, either.

I'm sorry these suck |D she's being. kind of quiet.

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[Feeling along the walls.]

no worries, hon <3

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Here. There are some handholds.

[she runs her fingers over them to be sure.]

;;

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

[Yui follows, frowning.]

--somehow this doesn't exactly seem safe.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

No. But staying here isn't safe, either.

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

True enough.

[She brushes her fingers over the wall, finding a handhold, and grabs hold of it. Silently she wills for a light, or an easier way up--but the dream isn't indulgent.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[It's slow going, but there it is: Ami continues her careful progress, always with their hands joined. If one of them stumbles, the other can - hopefully - steady them.]

And when we reach the top?

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

[Yui pauses in her progress, but only briefly, stomach knotting in worry. It's become decidedly nightmare-like.]

We'll see, won't we?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

We'll see.

[It's an echo of agreement, and soon enough they're so close that she strains the last little distance.]

Just another few inches.

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

[Yui's only answer is a grunt of exertion. She finally pulls herself up over the edge, panting, and lies on the ground for a moment to catch her breath.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Ami lifts herself up and out of the fissure. She lets herself lay beside Yui, not moving for several moments.]

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

[After a few moments of catching her breath, she turns her head to face Ami.]

Are you alright?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. [The only she'd ever give to that question.]

Let's go before the ground becomes unstable again.

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

Mm. [Yui nods and pushes to her feet. The landscape has changed; the bench is gone, and so is the snow. It's still chilly, but instead of snowdrifts, the barren, flat ground is covered in patches of ice.]

Which way?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't you be the one to decide, in your own land?

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

If I had full control, do you think that earthquake would have happened?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[The earthquake. No, that makes her nervous for an entirely different reason.]

It doesn't matter. The tremors stopped now.

[But earthquakes were the domain of the element of, of course, Earth...]

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

But what if they start again?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

We'll take care of that when it comes.

/SUCKS

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

Ami-chan...

What are we supposed to do to "take care of it?"

DO NOT

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

We'll climb back up again. [But right this moment, there's no way to predict exactly what would happen.]

DO TOO ;;

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

[It's not an answer that satisfies her, but she purses her lips, picks a random direction, and starts walking anyway.]

LIES

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[It's the only answer they have, yet.]

There's no choice for the time being.

B|

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

I know.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Besides. I won't let go this time either.
