Room 328, Friday After Government Class

Apr 20, 2007 13:45

In her newest letter to Buffy, Dawn was trying to figure out how to sum up the last two weeks in a way that wouldn't get her yanked from school.

( Several aborted attempts to write to Buffy and one that worked )

"If he's in another dimension...there may be a way," she said quietly, "we just need to find where these fayth dreamers dream."

Rikku looked over at Dawn. "You ... you really think so? Maybe that's what I did wrong, last time. I wasn't trying to figure out where he was, just call him back here if he was anywhere."

"Yeah, if you're messing with dimensions, it's good to be as specific as possible, so you don't rip a huge hole in all the dimensions. Kinda like having the right phone number," Dawn decided.

Rikku nodded. "Whoa. You know a lot about this. Have you had to, uh, move people before? Or is that nosy?" She laughed. "I should have asked around more first, huh?"

lilpunkinbelly April 21 2007, 05:23:48 UTC

"I've never, er, moved people, but I've done a bit of reading about dimensional portals," Dawn admitted, but without explaining why, yet.

the_merriest April 21 2007, 05:26:33 UTC

"Really?" Rikku's eyes lit up a bit. "Like, how to do them without, uh. The blood magic thing? I mean, can you, without that kinda ritual? Because ... that was seriously scary and I don't think I should try that again, yeouch."

lilpunkinbelly April 21 2007, 05:28:11 UTC

"Um, there may be a way," she said cautiously, "but I'd have to talk to someone first, and I don't know if it would work."

the_merriest April 21 2007, 05:32:07 UTC

Rikku stared at Dawn, taking a few seconds for all of this to sink in. "You mean you know ... you might be able to ... you ..."

She looked at her hands, taking a shaky breath. "I-I can't ask you that. To try that. It's ... it's dangerous and y-you could get hurt, and ... I can't."

lilpunkinbelly April 21 2007, 05:35:15 UTC

"You're not asking, I'm offering," Dawn pointed out, rubbing little circles into Rikku's back, "and I won't do it if it's too dangerous, okay? No ending the world, I promise."

the_merriest April 21 2007, 05:39:13 UTC

Rikku swallowed hard, then nodded. "You ... You mean it? I ... Okay. N-nothing scary, yeah? If you ... and this person ... can really make a p-portal, then ... okay, what do I do? Look into the dreaming thing, or ..."

She took a breath, and then threw her arms around Dawn and squeezed. "Thank you. I ... I can't ... thank you."

lilpunkinbelly April 21 2007, 05:42:34 UTC

"Oof." Dawn tried to breathe, but it was almost an issue. "You're welcome, and really, I'm not promising anything. You need to try and remember everything you can about where your friend ended up. Draw a picture, or write it out, talk to your friends if you have to--we're going to need as clear an idea of who and what we're looking for as possible."

the_merriest April 21 2007, 05:50:13 UTC

Rikku let go quickly. "Sorry! Sorry, I, uh." And dabbed at her eyes. No reason.

"Sorry. Yeah. No, I mean, I know you aren't, but ... it's so wonderful of you to try. And I think I can get some of his stuff from home, would that help? Like, his weapon, mementos? I don't know if I have any pictures. I ... there might be a sphere recording. I'll ask Yunie. If I can think of a good excuse." She shook her head. "I'm not telling her why. Not for any of this."

"How can I even ..." She bit her lip. "I don't think 'I owe you one' covers this, exactly."

lilpunkinbelly April 21 2007, 06:00:34 UTC

"Anything you have would be good," Dawn nodded, "and no, probably better not to get her hopes up."

"You don't owe me anything, Rikku. If I can help, it's worth it."

the_merriest April 21 2007, 06:09:17 UTC

Rikku nodded again, still reeling a bit. "Yeah. She doesn't know anything about last week and I ... I can't do that to her. But I'll think of something. And ... that's ... you don't know what that means to me. To her. Except I guess you do, huh? Part of club membership." She thought for a long moment. "Promise me ... if you ever need a favor, blowing stuff up or something big or something little, that you'll come knock on my door?"

lilpunkinbelly April 21 2007, 06:13:23 UTC

"I promise."

the_merriest April 21 2007, 06:25:10 UTC

Rikku stood, then stooped to give Dawn another quick hug. "I. Thank you. I should go, look into things, and see if I can ... yeah. Do you want more cookies? Before I go?" She held the container out again.
