[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[toxapex]

"It wasn't too good... I dreamed that Sage was there again, and you were there... I'm not sure if I was just dreaming about you, though... It seemed pretty real..." I sigh, then remember that I should just accept Sage's death no matter how much it hurts... I put on a smile. "So... sports store?"

 

[Naiad]

"Hug first. No need to push yourself."

 

[toxapex]

"Oh... alright." I guess she could tell how fake that smile was, heh... "...Thanks, Sai. I don't say it enough..."

 

[Naiad]

"No problem, you're family."

(( Sai means it in the sense that she thinks of him as her little brother. ))

 

[toxapex]

"No problem, you're family."

(( Sai means it in the sense that she thinks of him as her little brother. ))

((Plot twist: Helix is faking his grief because he's jealous and wants to replace Gio. lmfao))

"But still, thanks..." I genuinely smile this time.

I end the hug. "So where's the store you were heading to?" Man, that rest didn't help one bit... I still feel like I may collapse...

 

[Naiad]

(( xD ))

I frown. "You alright? You seem tired."

 

[Myst]

Once I'm sure the tears are done falling, I wipe them away. I walk over to the sitting area, plop down on the couch, and turn on the TV.

 

[toxapex]

"Yeah, I just rested, I'm fine. We can... sports store... fishing, yeah." I start walking, still not knowing where the store is, but too tired to realize that. I feel 'out-of-it', but I keep going.

 

[Naiad]

I follow Helix. "We should go home if you're not feeling well."

 

[toxapex]

"Nah, I'm fine..." I lean against a wall, slumping down. "I'll just... rest every few steps... and we'll be at the store in no time..." I try to give Sai a reassuring look, but I'm sure it probably just screams 'I'm tired'...

 

[Naiad]

I grab his hand. "We're going home. We can come back after you've had a rest."

 

[toxapex]

"Ahm... um... fine..." I get dragged by Sai, and go to sit inside the car. I fall asleep in the seat.

 

[Naiad]

I start the car after Helix falls asleep. "He really is like a scruffy puppy."

 

[toxapex]

"Hahhhh.... Puppy..." I repeat in my sleep.

 

[Myst]

That girl, Sage, she's still alive.

(Now for the internal struggle. Tell Helix or keep it a secret?)

 

[Naiad]

I laugh.

(( ~time skip to car arriving~ ))

I park the car. "Helix, wake up." I shake him softly.

 

[toxapex]

"Sage, no... Can we just lie here for a-" I blink, and realize where I am. "Sorry..." I get red in the face and get out of the car.

 

[Naiad]

Should I tell him?

Not now, we don't even know where she is.

But the next dream he has.....

I lock the car after I exit. "You're fine, Helix."

 

[toxapex]

"Okay..." I yawn. I walk inside and sit down on the couch. ((Sai has a couch, right? lol)) "Feel free to watch TV or whatever... I'll probably end up dozing off anyway..." I smile a bit.

 

[Naiad]

I follow Helix inside.

"Helix, I need to tell you something."

I told you not to.
