* those tragic / stars .

protect my girl at all costs

For a moment she closed her eyes, willing that darkness away before pointing her finger at some. "A shrimp club sandwich. Well, why not." Eileen refused to let the dark side of an idea of eternity win. "What an odd choice." ❧ @tragcdyfallen

"Hm." The hum is a mere sardonic melody at the finality of those words. Eternity does sound like an awfully long time. If only she knew the possibilities that eternity entailed but those were secrets for another time. "Or we will all go home, awaken in our beds. Going forth as if nothing ever happened." Alys chuckled when she saw the other's worry. She found it mildly intriguing by the reactions to this place. Those who held secrets of their own. A wrinkle of her nose as she watched the other point, "That is certainly an interesting hand of fate." The idea of crustacean betwixt bread did not sound appealing, "I'll look the other way if you wish to try again."

“Being able to watch the sun rise like this. It almost makes me feel like I would be back in the Shire….” And, oh, how much Frodo was missing it. Even after leaving his friends there behind. Because he had not been able to adapt to his old life again as easily even after the ring had been finally destroyed….

Illuminating stars and rising sunsets had become the best light source to write, sure, it hurt at times. The result was always worth it. Startled, Hannah nearly tumbled. Only catching herself before becoming a splattered bug on the concrete below. "God!" her hand pressed to her chest to calm the racing heartbeat underneath. "Probably need to steer clear of the edge, huh?" She mumbled to herself more than to him. Flopping down onto the rooftop, she turned to the newcomer, "The Shire? Is that in the South?" A flicker of understanding, she could understand how it felt being so far from home.

Warm sand embraced every footstep she took as she roamed the shoreline. A solitary place where her dreams couldn't drag her down to the depths of the same ocean she stood before. Only when a voice broke the silence did she realize that there was another. "Truly a beautiful day." Helaena murmured, continuing to stare at the waves breaking upon the shore. "I hadn't seen you laying here." Perhaps it was an intrusion and that was the last thing she wanted to cause. Yet, her feet stay rooted to the shore. "What are you reading?" Blurting out the first thing that came to her mind, though she had surprised herself with the intrusive question.

"good afternoon, my name is niamh and i'll be your nurse today," niamh greeted as she approached the hospital bed. "you've been triaged to me as they deemed your condition non urgent for a doctor." she lent in a little bit, lowering her voice ever slightly but still with a smile on her face. "but often times they're wrong and just want to clear the waiting list. not very helpful," she straightened again. "but don't worry, i'll take the best care of you and make sure you're seen by a doctor if needed. please can you tell me what's wrong today. is it an illness or injury?" niamh had their chart in hand, but it was always best hearing from the patient directly.

"Oh." Hannah spoke, her back goes rigid at the sight of the nurse. At least she appeared far friendlier than her co-workers. Then again, working in a hospital must be exhausting. "Yeah, I'm probably not an emergency considering..." she holds up her wrist, "I strained it, I hope. Because if it's a break, I'm in serious trouble." It was bad enough that she hurt herself being stupid, but hospital always freaked her out. She gives a shaky smile to the nurse.

"I haven't the faintest idea what I want." Eileen's voice rang out, not even thinking about it when she spoke out loud to no one in particular and entirely unaware of the people in her vicinity. "So many options and so little time to choose."

This realm felt like a fever dream. A conjured incantation that she did not summon, it was infuriating. Stepping out of the shadows, Alys entered the restaurant unencumbered by her swirling thoughts. "Mayhaps it would be best to close your eyes and point." She couldn't help but eavesdrop, old habits die hard. "Though we are trapped here for eternity, it seems, so I suppose you're wrong. We have all the time in the world."

The brunette chuckled, glancing down at the pie. "Pecan with a hint of vanilla. At least that's what the sign said." A pause. "Would you like to sit?" ❧ @tragcdyfallen

"You know where I live if you wanted to see me" and he rarely went out. Not when he knew what damage he could do anyway, and especially when his worst fears had been dancing around him. He was a big man, if he lashed out, he ran the risk of actually hurting someone, and it had been better to stay inside, where at most he could hurt was a flower pot. "Why were you looking for me?" logically there had to be some sort of reason, but what it was he didn't know. He wasn't much good for anything.

"I know that but..." Christine trailed off, her bottom lip worn between teeth as she hesitated. Knowing he was always locked away by his own means and she wasn't sure how to break him out. A prison that didn't hold a key. So she decided to bang on his walls. "Can't I miss my brother?" blurting the words out with little thought, "I hardly see you anymore and yes, I know where you live but don't you want to get some fresh air with me? Or would you get furious if I knocked your door down?"
