[ooc: omg never seen anyone more distraught in my life and lmao i hope this isn't like a private post bc johnny is totally walking home through the woods]

*strollin' through those woods, just another day, when he sees these crazy green lights*

What the hell...

*hears crying from the tree and runs toward it to find her looking terribly miserable*

Jesus... *reaches out, wanting to comfort her, but is really nervous about those bolts omg* What's going on?

[troubledbutcute]

[ooc -- had no particular plans for it, just for people confused about why Starfire is suddenly so angsty. Totally down for RPing]

::looks up, totally surprised to see him standing above her::

Johnny?

[flameonyou]

[ooc; ohhhhh okay well i just got home so RPing from my laptop vs. my phone like i've been doing all day is a treat lol]

*smiles, trying to stay cool* Hey, Starfire, yeah, it's me. What, uh... What're you doin' in the woods, huh?

[troubledbutcute]

::the green is shooting less frequently, sizzling where it hits the ground::

I... I told him.

It was like it had never happened, until I told him.

::wipes a tear angrily from her face::

[flameonyou]

*gently rests a hand on her shoulder, avoiding the bits of ground that are hit with the bolts and tilts his head*

Told who, sweetheart? What happened?

*swipes another tear before it falls down her cheek*

[troubledbutcute]

::flinches from the touch::

Told... I told Danny. What I was. What I was... made to do.

::a large bolt singes a tuft of grass::

[flameonyou]

*pulls back but keeps his hand close*

I'm not really following, sweetheart, I'm sorry. You don't have to talk to me about it if you don't want to, just tell me what I can do to make it better.

*tries not to visibly jump at the bolt*

[troubledbutcute]

What you can do? There is nothing left to be done.

Nothing can be changed. I will never be -- it is too late.

Don't waste your time.

[flameonyou]

Waste my time? *purses his lips* Hey, listen to me. You're my friend, okay? I care about you. Whatever's going on with you, we can find a way to fix it. Hell, even if we can't fix it, we can work around it. But first you need to trust me, even if it's just a little. Can you do that?

[troubledbutcute]

::has trouble taking this all in. Pretty clearly skeptical::

I don't know. Maybe? What do you want to know?

[flameonyou]

*totally gets her skepticism tbh is sooo willing to be patient on this one*

*smiles softly* What do you want to tell me?

[troubledbutcute]

It is all told. It is all spoken now. It will not hurt to speak again.

[flameonyou]

*nods a little* Okay. Maybe we can start with the, uh... green things?

[troubledbutcute]

On Tamaran the sun gives us the power of flight.

When we are made to accept too much energy, so we are full to bursting, our bodies learn to release it in bolts. I and... my sister have this ability. Only she could not fly.

ooc I don't know how she's going to keep her angsty plots going with such supportive classmates, lolz.

[flameonyou]

So... is this not a good thing? *confewsed :(*

[ooc: omg my computer is being so crappy sorry it took so long]

[troubledbutcute]

Our abilities were awakened because we were made to absorb amounts of energy believed to be lethal.

Yet, I am glad. Not only for the powers, but because it was then I finally escaped.
