Orb: 12th of Rebirth’s Height

[demonsintheoven]

[[For once, Snow isn't in a back ally somewhere. She's somewhere far more green, but still flat on her back, staring vacantly up at the orb. The very edge of an empty bottle of wine can be seen in the grass to her left]]

Have you ever seen the moon shatter? It shouldn't... the moon's a big rock in the sky, like a smaller Earth, but dead. Dead, dead, dead, so dead it was never alive... [[she sighs, eyes drooping]] Can't shatter. I don't like seeing it do things it can't. So many things do that, don't they? Things move when they shouldn't, appear where they can't, change when they should stay the same.

[[She is quiet a moment, blinking, her eyes utterly unfocused]] Stay inside when the moon shatters... don't let it fall on you. It's too cold to be under a dead moon.

[[a bit farther from the walls than she thought she was on the wrong side of a hill. Keep hunting!]]

It's not a riddle. Just tangled like everything else.

[give_kitty_cake]

[Well, it was a green field so she wouldn't be in this part of town. Koma drops back down to the ground and continues the merry hunt!]

You really don't make any sense. You say your son won't let you return when you are drunk and then said he was in the center of the Earth... maybe I should ask you about this again when you are sober.

[demonsintheoven]

DarkChyld says I don't make any more sense then either...

[give_kitty_cake]

[On to something now... maybe from the top of this hill she could see he-- oh... ]

There you are. Come on, let's get you back inside.

[Koma moves to help her stand if she needs it. ]

[demonsintheoven]

[[and does she need it. She offers no resistance, but also no help, almost as if she's asleep wide awake. She doesn't even smell that drunk either and the one discarded bottle seems to be the only one around.]]

[Koma is a pretty strong little kitty, it isn't too hard for her to lift the lady to her feet. She will have to do her own walking though. Koma won't mind her leaning on her if she needs support but she doesn't want to have to carry her all the way to the castle.]

I don't know how you managed to get out here if you can't even stand.

[demonsintheoven]

I was running from it... At least I think I was. It might not have been me.

[[She very slowly regains her footing, standing on her own just fine not that she's upright.]]

[give_kitty_cake]

[A little steering Snow towards the castle then. ]

You can't run from visions.

[She had to know that right? ]

The only thing you can do is watch them and try to warn others about what they said might happen.
I have seen Tadahiro have enough visions to know that.

[demonsintheoven]

I can try. [[she's dragging her feet a little as she walks]] I tried to warn DarkChyld... but he already knew. It was too late then... Things happen so quickly... and never as I see...

[give_kitty_cake]

If he already knew then there was nothing to warn him about? You can't make some one listen to visions anyway.

[Koma walks her all the way back to the castle and up the entry stairs to the main hallway. ]

[demonsintheoven]

They make me listen. So loud until it's all I can hear....

[give_kitty_cake]

I meant you can't make people take your advice if they don't want to. There is no reason to run from the visions, they can't be escaped from anyway.

[One of the castle rooms is show to them by the maids. ]

Resting here is safer than it is outside. Have a good nap and maybe you will feel better later.

[demonsintheoven]

[[she looks very doubtful at that last part, but she doesn't protest]]

Don't get scratched when the moon falls...

[give_kitty_cake]

[Scratched when the moon falls...? What a strange thing to say.

Koma just makes sure everything is settled, Snow is all tucked in for a rest, and then she quietly leaves the room. ]
