[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[toxapex]

"Ow!" I exclaim, as Sai pinches me. "Well, then if we're both asleep on a bench in the mall, we should try to wake up. We could get robbed, or worse..." I begin to worry.

 

[Myst]

I glare at Sai before realizing what I'm doing then stopping. She better not blow my cover...

"Oh, and tell Carmen to wake up too. I saw him go in the kitchen. I can't leave until all of you leave first."

 

[toxapex]

"No, I would think you only need me to leave, considering..." I realize that I was talking to the fake Sage as if she were real, and I feel a sharp pang of remorse. I sigh.

 

[Myst]

"This is a weird thing, okay?" I still don't understand how it works... I sigh.

 

[Naiad]

I glance at Sage and frown. "Something still seems off here."

 

[Myst]

"Hm?" I ask confused. "I only know as much as Helix does and my personality is just as Helix remembers it."

 

[toxapex]

"Sai!" I interrupt. "We need to wake up before someone robs us or something!" I look around, worried, wondering how to wake up.

 

[Naiad]

I nod. "Alright. Even if you're fake, can I ask you something?"

 

[Myst]

"Helix, to wake up, just will yourself to. Do me a favor. Don't come back." Oh, god... I hope he doesn't notice I read his mind... Totally a Sage thing...

"I guess, Sai. What is it?"

 

[Naiad]

I gesture around me. "Why am I here? A linked dream doesn't just happen, something is going on."

 

[Myst]

"Um..." I lie and say, "I don't know. Sorry."

 

[toxapex]

"Sai, we need to go!" I try to wake up, and I open my eyes to see Sai asleep on the bench with me. Thankfully, nothing was stolen from us...

I sigh. "Yet another restless sleep..." It feels like I was awake the whole time... was it just a dream...?

 

[Myst]

I watch Helix disappear. I glance at my bracelet and find something on it I haven't seen before... an off switch...

 

[Naiad]

I nod. "Alright. Any chance you can tell me how to leave?"

 

[Myst]

I look down at my bracelet, avoiding her eyes, and say, "Just will yourself to and take Carmen with you or I'll find a way to terminate this dream myself..."

 

[Naiad]

I nod. "Y'know, Sage, you shouldn't lie. Helix didn't make you, did he?" I close my eyes and will myself and Carmen to disappear.

 

[Myst]

I watch Sai and Carmen leave. Phew...

I wake up back in my calm room. That's enough dreaming for now... I hold my head in my hands as the tears began to fall... H-helix... I miss you...

 

[Naiad]

I open my eyes slowly.

That girl, Sage, she's still alive.

 

[toxapex]

"Sai...?" I pat her head. "You awake?" I say, noticing her begin to stir.

 

[Naiad]

I yawn and poke Helix. "How was your nap?"
