[video] Greener on the Other Side

[likeits1999]

[ Kevin's been keeping an eye on the mirrors since being stuck back in the brugh, trying not to worry too much about how his new friends are all venturing into the unknown. It's probably for the best if he just doesn't talk about it, that worries people. No sense in making that worse, right?

It was just a matter of time before someone decided to record some of the updrafts with a mirror, though, and now?

Now he has something to say. ]

You guys, you ever get this feeling that God is like... punishing you for something? Cause that's me.

[ Kevin leans forward, his expression haunted. ]

I don't think anybody understands how bad I wanna go jump off one of those rock things right now.

-oh. mood.-

I understand. Deeply so. The call of death as release from the shackles of deep, unyielding chains that have bound themselves to one's very soul.

[likeits1999]

Oh nah I'm already dead.

[ Kevin is, as ever, perfectly casual with that. ]

I just mean I wanna do that jumping off and zooming back up thing? Like. So bad, man.

[ofnovalue]

...




Oh. -How embarrassing.-

My apologies. I spoke overmuch.

[likeits1999]

It's cool.

[ He's just proud he remembered not to call her 'dog' this time.

He lowers his voice a little, like that will somehow make the conversation less public. ]

Are you like... thinking about being dead and stuff though?

[ofnovalue]

... -Well. She's on the spot. May as well be honest.-

These thoughts are more quiet when my love is with me. But...

Yes. Often my thoughts move to darkness.

[likeits1999]

Aww dude, sorry to hear that. Shit's rough.

[ Kevin nods somberly. ]

If it makes you feel any better about it, I gotta say that being actually dead is not all that rad.

[ofnovalue]

I do not seek it for that reason. Simply for there to be... and end.

[likeits1999]

[ Kevin wasn't expecting for shit to get real in this conversation, misunderstandings aside, and he's kind of scrambling to catch up. ]

But like... why though?

[ofnovalue]

Tis a very long, very terrible story.

[greyerrant]

What ails you, young man?

[likeits1999]

Allay'all get to be over there with that air zooming thing and I'm stuck over here in this elf castle.

This is bogus.

[ It turns out he just wants to go do that totally cool new extreme new sport they've apparently discovered. So bad. So bad. ]

[greyerrant]

[ Loken actually laughs, very briefly then nods. ]

I am sorry about that. There is a certain freedom and joy in what we are doing, true enough.
