I Feel Fantastic
Who: Raye Hino, Six, OPEN
What: Raye and Six go to investigate the heart. Then suddenly, it's coma time!
Where: Southern District -> The Heart (Group B)
When: August 30, 2011 - Mid-Morning
Warnings: Those priestess robes are getting fugly!
Feeling uneasy and feeling tired were not mutually exclusive sensations, Raye discovered, leaning her palm against the stone wall of the temple's descending staircase. She'd nearly broken her neck the last time she left after an all-night meditation session in the Sacred Flame's room, too tired to properly place one foot in front of the other. This time she took the stairs nice and slow, one step at a time, furrowing her brow in concentration until she reached the bottom.
She knew she needed sleep, and she'd tried getting it before, but it never worked out. Either that sense of constant unease kept her staring at the ceiling, or she would be plagued with constant nightmares. Of Rex being trapped outside of the city, beating against the gate and getting devoured by some cosmic horror sweeping down on him, of her crows screaming as someone Unmade them at a gruesomely slow pace that tore them apart, of her friends sprouting fangs and claws and tearing her to shreds...violent, awful dreams.
It was getting harder to concentrate on her meditations. She'd been doing it for years, so she didn't have many problems ignoring physical needs like food and sleep while she was concentrating, but even her experience was being sorely tested. She needed more than just a few hours of troubled and frequently disturbed rest, but for the life of her, she just couldn't manage. She didn't dare try for any sort of medication or Bending solution. Too much could go wrong. And supposing she went under, and couldn't get back out once the nightmares started? That was a chilling possibility.
So she left the temple and started walking. It was only due to a sense of fierce pride that her shoulders stayed erect and her head remained lifted, dark eyes shifting and moving to take in her surroundings. If her prayers weren't getting any answers, then it was time to start digging for the source of that unease.
It sure was hard to track down the root of all those bad vibes when it seemed like they were coming from everywhere at once.
