RP with pandoras_closet

Ori helped Caretaker through the portal that opened onto the fifth floor of her apartment building, and down to Apartment 503. She fumbled with her keys, managing to get the door open one-handed and haul her friend inside.

"So, any more details on what happened or do you just want to crash?"

Crash, please, thanks.

[thingsexplode]

No problem. *leads him to the bed- freshly made up, hasn't even been slept in yet*

[pandoras_closet]

Thanks. *Falls onto it, pulling her down with him, and is asleep almost instantly*

[thingsexplode]

*paces the room, wanting to keep an eye on him, but edgy because of the moon*

[pandoras_closet]

*Its pretty clear he's gonna be out for hours so she might as well go out and run*

[thingsexplode]

*and she does. Through the window, onto the fire escape*

((Skipping forward 36 hours))

* When she comes in to check on him, he's sitting on her bed, crosslegged, staring at the strangest thing. It's a sort of tree without leaves and many branches, some actually merging with each other inside a sphere. He's studying it with an air of dread and resignation. He's a little pale, but still much better. All his injuries seemed to have vanished.*

[thingsexplode]

*She walks over and stares at the 'tree', trying to trace some of the branches* What's that? Is something wrong?

[pandoras_closet]

The multiverse in three dimensions, rather than eight. *Wan smile* Or at least a representation of it in three dimensions. It's all my responsibility now.

[thingsexplode]

All your responsibility? That's a hell of a lot of work. *frowns* You going to be all right?

[pandoras_closet]

*A wave of his hand and the spehere vanishes* Eventually. *Shoulders slump and he buries his face in his hands* Maybe.

[thingsexplode]

*hesitantly sits down and puts an arm around his shoulders* I'm... sure it will. You want to talk about it?

[pandoras_closet]

*Rests his head on her shoulder* I killed them, Ori. I killed them all. I know I had no choice, I keep telling myself that, but I killed them. *Is trying hard not to cry*

[thingsexplode]

*rubs his back* Well, you had to. I know it still hits you hard, though. Just remember it was necessary...

[pandoras_closet]

*Shifts slightly, leaning into the rubbing and noting that she smells really good.*

[thingsexplode]

*ironically, not so comfortable with this comforting thing, but keeps rubbing* Anything else happen?
