CAVERN.

[Another encounter with the Shimmer, another round of confusion, frustration and exhaustion. It's probably going to be a fairly unanimous opinion, but Page much preferred the circle of peaceful corpses over the tree of suffering.

She emerged from the river just in time to hear what the Shimmer had to say, and it leaves a bad taste in her mouth. But regardless of feelings, it's probably wise that they don't move away from this cavern for the time being; the fire, remnants of that horrible tree, is providing light and warmth. They couldn't really ask for much more, especially after spending the past week in darkness.

So Page will swim back to the fire, placing herself in front of it and unwinding her headpiece, letting her locs fall free around her face. She's soaked, miserable and cold. As awful as the source of the heat is, she needs to dry off. The last thing she wants is to fall ill.

Not that it would mean much - sounds like a problem for her body. Wherever that is.

You're free to join her, or do what you will; time to rest, before the new week begins.]

Let's go with that, then.

[ Boy, he is sure looking at her dragging that tree sculpture around in a whole new light now. ]

[Yeah... yeah. Anyway, Emma is eager to change the subject for now.]

So then, enough about me... are you doing alright here?
pr159: (but things don't work that way)

[ Well, he's not having any wacky fridge horror realizations like that, anyway. ]

Well enough, all things considered, though I can't say I had a rollicking good time today.
skelkro: (and try to see)

[... Good point.]

I would be shocked if anyone had a good time today, really.
