Wish 001

[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. ♥

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.]

[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.]

[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.

[seiryuusmartie.livejournal.com]

I know.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

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