Just another piece of that always fragmented dream...

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[She has finally settled snugly into her room, hiding from the cold under her covers, sketching quietly and contently. It's been a while she's she's attended to her art, and for not so enjoyable reasons. Thankfully, she has fresh bandages on her arms and legs, and has made sure to lock her door, lest any unwelcoming figures come to disturb her peace of mind.

She yawns a little. A couple of nightmares have been keeping her up the past few nights, and has never been able to compensate her loss of sleep. Maybe now she'll get her peace and quiet.]





[ooc: or not (*bother*). wouldn't be too surprised if one or two knew how to get past locked doors here. hm?]

[looks at her. frowns]

While injured?

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[Small pause.]

I guess you could say, partly because of my injuries as well.

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

Do you know how to use the Corridors? It can make moving easier.

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Shakes her head.]

The 'Corridors'? No...

what exactly do you mean by that?

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

[makes a portal.]

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Jumps a little. She hasn't seen much of those within her time here.]

[Small smile.] That looks convenient, but unfortunately I don't have any powers like those.

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

Aren't you a Nobody?

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Actually smiles, although it seems somewhat sad.]

I guess you could call me that.

But where I'm from, everyone's normal. De-specialized, if you will. The only ability I actually have is drawing, which isn't classified as particularly useful.

Logic, I can has it

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

You mean....no one in your world have powers?

lol, 's good to has

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Shakes her head.]

Nope.

[Chuckles slightly.]

Made me stand out even less. There's no one extraordinary where I was, and being the silent artist, you never get much attention or power of any kind.

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

[pause. he's so used to people having powers.]

...no wonder you couldn't get away fast enough.

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Figures it must be a shocker for him.]

[Looks down and nods, swallowing. She's still a little sore from the ordeal.

Then she immediately turns her head back up with a hollow laugh.] Being small, powerless, and stupidly proud against a beserk Saix probably wasn't the best decision I could've made I guess.

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

Do you have any friends that can protect you?

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Nods with a smile.]

I have one...He promised to be there if I needed him, in case that Saix showed up again.

I won't take any chances though by wandering around again.

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

[nods] That's good. But maybe you should try defending yourself just in case.

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Looks down.]

That didn't work out so well the last time I tried it.

[Shrugs.] I'm guess I'm too weak or something. [Half-mutters that. Not something she's proud to admit.]

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

[sighs]

I don't think that's true. You don't necessarily have to fight and beat him. Something to distract him long enough so you can get away.

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Looks up in curiosity.]

A distraction? Like what?

[Thinks a little.]

All I ever could do was kick or scratch him, but that just drove him more insane and homocidal against me.

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

Maybe an item that can help you. Like a smoke bomb or something. There's a room full of those, I think. Want to take a look?

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Considers it for a moment, then nods in agreement.]M-mhm. Sounds like a good idea. [As long as she's with someone else, it should be fine to leave the room.

With that, she pushes the bedcovers off of her and stands up, slipping on some sandals.]

Ready when you are.

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

Is it painful for you to move around?

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Shakes her head reassuringly.]

Not anymore. I should be fine.

[Takes a few steps to make sure. The bandage wrapped around her right leg probably isn't too convincing, but it doesn't seem she's having trouble walking.]

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

[in any case, he's moving forward to hold out his arm for her to take. just in case.]

[nobodytheartist.livejournal.com]

[Smiles in gratitude but shakes her head slightly.]

Don't worry. I'm fine.

[virtualmemories.livejournal.com]

[shrugs but doesn't withdraw his hand]

Better safe than sorry? It's not good to force it if you're injured.
