[ he's getting really tired of ending up back here. there's nothing to do, nothing to make interesting. everything is in his way and he can't just shove it aside
( Read more... )
[Here is a girl who might understand your boredom a little, Red. At least there are more things to see here than on stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid stupid stupid mountains?
As per the usual with Dawn, she shows up by stepping out of thin air, vaguely puzzled as to her location.]
[ that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain
at least on that mountain he could find a special place to make interesting and he could do whatever he wanted, but he wanted to go home and he can't go home in a place like this.
but the randomly appearing girl catches his interest. ]
[that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain that mountain]
[This is a very long, very awkward pause as Dawn stares right back at him, before she remembers the first step to human contact is a very flat, very deadpan-]
[why. why can't we have nice things, like Islands without Reds on them?
At first, when Silver spotted Red, he didn't really pay him any attention; there are a lot of the Reds on the Island. But all those 1s and 0s are pretty telling -- especially considering what they spell out. His static flares, before he clamps down tightly on it.]
You. [It's too late to try and avoid him, isn't it.]
[ who knows how long he had actually been home? it could have been days
months
years
but he knows that something is different now about it and it's becoming harder and harder to enjoy the world that was once so
interesting
because he knows that he can't get the world he wanted back because he
promised
and promises don't mean anything here.
he looks up - and then there's a smile, slow, spreading like a virus across his face. it's been a while, silver. how have you been? can we play with you today? will you make the world stop being
[ oh silver, how you wound him. you hurt and rip and tear, insignificantly grabbing for weaknesses that don't exist. silver, silver, silver - don't you want to play? you're so broken, silver, you could just stay for
a while
and maybe he could finish breaking you. oh, oh, you're so broken and he can't fix you but there's nothing to fix. ]
... ... No.
Stay. [ and the word is practically a command. all caps, despite the soft voice and the almost tender expression across his face. ]
that was gold. red blinks, momentarily taken aback. gold gold gold will you make it different for him you must be able to do something. you must have been able to do something about all of this monotony. ]
[Oh if it isn't Red. Clearly this means he should approach him and pester him considering the last one he ran into ruined his fun. None of them was allowed to do that to him. Not anymore.]
[ it's blue... but a different blue. not the one who
put him on the
the damned
mountain the mountain the mountain the mountain the mountain mountain the mountain the mountain the mountain the mountain mountain the mountain the mountain the mountain the mountain mountain the mountain the mountain the mountain the mountain
[He'll scoff looking thoroughly annoyed. Talk! Use your voice. Say something anything. He hated when Red never talked. The only time he never spoke was when they were around. They always ruined his life together. Killed all his Pok-]

He'll take a moment to convert it into plain old letters and then head over to the Red to ask,]
Well, what do you like to do?

that's at least interesting. he cocks his head back. ]
... Interesting things.

That's really specific. [\sarcasm] Should I list hobbies or something here to pick from or what?
Reply
shouldn't ever because then people will be
mad and when people are mad then he can't
go home and he wants to leave now and even if he wanted to he isn't allowed to battle so
he
can't at all even if nothing would break. and it wouldn't. it's not like back there, where things can break like glass if pushed too hard.
he tilts his head. your sarcasm is noted but ignored. tell him. ]

So? Answer me.

Bored.
[ flat, emotionless, a soft hiss of - ah, perhaps static? clinging to the word, crawling along the soft edges and making them cold and sharp. ]
