All in all you're just another brick in the wall [ Open ]

[goddamngrenades]

[ So this is new. He may or may not have had a mini hysterical breakdown in the room where he woke up but- he suits up and tries to get it together. The first time he stretches his mind out for D and finds him gone, even though he knew it wasn't gonna work, he twitches hard against a spike of panic and-

is-

Somewhere else?

This is also new. this is terrifying in it's newness. He goes from a stark, clinical room to the top of a building-
There's a fountain. It's very pretty. He's VERY FREAKED OUT. Another stumbling step and he's

Not there-

anymore he's somewhere else. A library? WHAT THE FUCK? WHERE THE HELL IS HE? Someone's there.
He sees someone there and he reaches out for an answer, for a solution for any fucking thing at all and-

isn't there anymore. He's in a bedroom.

Then a school.

Then an abandoned lot.

Then he's there, RIGHT THERE, all tan armor and crackling voice over the radio, scared and startled and unable to fucking understand what the HELL IS GOING ON and he catches a hold of someone. Anyone. Whoever's closest. Clings and shakes them and says- ]

You're gonna give me some sane answers right the fuck now-

[ But he's gone.

He's gone and he's taken whoever he's grabbed with him and this time? This time he's wiped. This time he STOPS.
Mostly because he's stuck with his arm half in and half out of a wall, forced to stand while his HUD and the healing
unit blare angry noises at him about pressure and potential crush injury if he moves the wrong way. Caught like a
fish he lets go of whoever and scrabbles, trying to dig his arm out. ]

Oh god oh god oh shit oh god someone get me OUT OF HERE!


[ ooc: York is porting himself all around Freesia due to not knowing how his magic works! YAY! If you want him to port into your character's room, bedroom, bathroom, place of employ, whichever just toss them up and assume he's popped up there. If you want your character to have been grabbed by him and stuck in the middle of nowhere with his arm stuck in a wall, go for it! ]

I am fairly certain you have not been drugged. But -

[Wait. There ought to be someone here who could confirm that, right?]

- where is Delta?

[goddamngrenades]

[ Why is she harshing his mellow? Now he HAS to lock up and reach a hand back to the Neural port, a reflexive gesture but-

Delta's gone.

Delta's gone and he had ONE job. ]

Not here.

[raisethemoon]

[Is that possible? She hadn't thought that was possible.]

I see...

Well, as I said, Agent Washington is present. You do recall him?

[goddamngrenades]

Of course I remember the rookie. [ He snaps- he probably shouldn't snap at a figment of his own psyche but the glaring REMINDER of his failure and the fact that maybe he's forgotten something important?

Kind of agitating. ]

[raisethemoon]

Excellent!

[She could get snippy right back, but York's a friend. Or was at one point.]

The locals of this city are very rude, but there are a number of other kidnapees now. You can communicate with us using these devices.

[goddamngrenades]

This is the worst hallucination ever. Of all time.

[raisethemoon]

I would be inclined to agree. But 'tis not a hallucination.

[goddamngrenades]

No, it needs to be a hallucination, because the alternative? Is kind of unacceptable.

[raisethemoon]

I cannot argue that...

[goddamngrenades]

Do I wanna know how you know me, Fairy God Pony?

[raisethemoon]

My name is Luna. And you will not like that answer either.

[But she'll tell you, if you're up to it?]

[goddamngrenades]

Luna. Right. [ This could be worse.

No, no it couldn't. Okay. Breathe. ]

I'll pass on an explanation for now.

[raisethemoon]

That seems for the best.

...I should mention, there is another pony living here as well. My sister. She is also not hallucinatory.

[goddamngrenades]

I'm going with this all being a hallucination until things start to make sense.

[raisethemoon]

As thou wilt. Come, shall I show you the city?

[goddamngrenades]

If I can keep from popping all over inadvertently? I'd like that. Thanks.

[raisethemoon]

Very well. Shall we?

[She starts off back towards the city proper, lifting a wing as if to usher him along. Hopefully he won't teleport again...]

You may be capable of teleporting another person, if you are touching them.

[goddamngrenades]

I think I figured that one out already. On accident.

[raisethemoon]

...I hope you did not leave them anywhere unpleasant?

[goddamngrenades]

Uh...I don't know. I kind of blipped away before i could move them back.

[raisethemoon]

...I'm sure they will be alright.

The residential areas are this way. Do not bother asking the locals for directions. [No, she has still not forgiven them.]

[goddamngrenades]

Are they specisist or do all of us magical people get the cold shoulder?

[raisethemoon]

Both, I imagine. The humans have experienced much the same treatment.

[goddamngrenades]

...okay that's a dick move. We're here to save them, aren't we?

[raisethemoon]

We are.

[By her tone, you can tell she's in total agreement.]
