3rd Petal 🌹 Audio & Sorta Action

[killerrose]

Audio;

[When Ib finally wakes up she’s very irritable. She kicks the end of the bed and then stands ignoring the fact that she’s in a hospital. She hates hospitals and she hadn’t been in one since the car accident where her parents passed away.

She bolts up from the bed and takes long strides from the room, her long dark hair flowing in messy waves behind her. She ignores everyone in the hospital flipping out her phone when she finally steps outside. She’s too annoyed to text like usual so she flicks the audio function holding the phone up to her ear.]

This is some sick joke right? We die and we have to come back to this place? In comparison, I was very happy being dead.

[She remembers the last few moments before she died and then white. Dying isn’t an unpleasant feeling but it certainly opens her eyes as to where her priorities are.]

Action;

[ooc: She's walking through Genessia taking long grumpy strides. Feel free to run into her.]

Comments

[youfool]

If you dislike life that much, I can certainly assist in another departure.

[killerrose]

Just so I can come back again? That doesn't really do anything to help.

[youfool]

Mm, yes I suppose I said that in vain.

Well, take it on faith that no one stays here unless, somewhere in the depths of their conscious, they really wish to. If you keep that mind, you'll avoid saying such patently absurd things in the future.

Honestly, what would those who care about you say if they heard that?

[killerrose]

I don't believe in faith.

[Her voice darkens significantly after his last comment. More likely than not Ib had heard her and right now she doesn't really care. Later she will but she's to upset after her meeting in the forest.]

[youfool]

Pff! That's absurd. Don't believe in faith? You might as well say you don't believe in belief. Benefit of the doubt, then?

[killerrose]

[He can't see if but Ib rolls her eyes.]

I believe in what I see, I believe in myself, I'm not about to have some blind believe simply because it suits me.

That's all faith is.

audio;

[pinklight]

Why would you be happy being dead?

audio;

[killerrose]

[Damn it, it's a kid and Ib feels a little bit bad about that...

She lets out a soft sigh and then attempt to explain calmly.]

Sometimes being alive is harder.

audio;

[pinklight]

In what way is it harder?

audio;

[killerrose]

You have nothing to lose when you're dead kid.

[There is also nothing to gain.]

audio;

[pinklight]

Yes, but then other people then lose something. I wouldn't want to upset people like that.

Action

[xuwu]

[ A big snake slithers up behind her, and leans its heavy head on top of hers.

It's the only thing signaling Bei Dou's arrival. ]

Arranging permanent deaths would not be too complicated, [ he says, ] but then would play with me?

[ He means his board game. Teaching people is such a hassle, after all. ]

Action

[killerrose]

[Ib only knows one person with snakes and it surprisingly doesn't really bother her when she feels the snake's head against her. She's gotten used to seeing them and then who follows.]

I really don't know.

[She also has a feeling that arranging a permanent death would be more complicated. Besides she really likes that death for reasons she doesn't really want to explain.]

I need a drink.

Action

[xuwu]

[ Perhaps she should hope that it might be someone else. Bei Dou was not a very nice person. ]

No?

[ His snakes did, unfortunately, not play. ]

I believe that you did have such things at that little workplace of yours.

Action

[killerrose]

Yeah... let's hope I still have my job.

[She's not in a happy place and her tone reflects every ounce of annoyance she feels. She glances over at the boy her red eyes shining curiously.]

I guess you just happened to be around here?

( audio )

[trueseeker]

[He sounds concerned when he responds.]

Ib...I'm sorry.

( audio )

[killerrose]

Why Richard? Have you done something since I was gone...

[Ah shit she hasn't been paid for a week.]

Just leave me tips, as it is I have to support two.

( audio )

[trueseeker]

I...can do that.

[He doesn't say anything for a moment.]

We went into that forest together, Ib. I wasn't fast enough. I recovered your sword, though. I can bring it by.

( audio )

[killerrose]

You have it?

[Her voice sounds more like herself however there is an edge to it.]

Also stop it with that crap. You weren't fast enough? Really? Ever think that I didn't want to be saved from the person I wanted to see most.

[Because he's dead and she knows that.]

( audio )

[trueseeker]

...why wouldn't you want to be saved from a lie?

[He pauses for a moment.]

Ib, that creature used your deepest secrets against you, lied to you, and turned your own desires against you.

Audio

[la_pesado]

[He recognizes the voice, but what it says seems to catch him off guard. Lopez hadn't really bothered thinking about his death or afterlives, seeing as he wasn't really sure what would happen to a mechanical mind like him.]

Así que la muerte no es realmente permanente aquí?

[Ib had better have that dictionary somewhere close.]

Audio

[killerrose]

[Ib is very angry and doesn't register that he's still talking in Spanish.]

What the hell?

[She pauses.]

Oh right... I sorta missed that. Yeah death isn't permanent... it turns out because I just died and now I'm here.

Re: Audio

[la_pesado]

[He fully expected that to happen, considering she was in a hospital at the moment.]

Sí, en cierto modo me lo absorbieron. Parece que usted totalmente consiguió atornillado sobre por algo de lo que he oído.

[Its blunt and somewhat unfeeling how he says it, but Lopez hasn't really been one to focus on the affects of his words.]

Audio

[killerrose]

[Ib doesn't seem to bothered by his blunt words, in fact she's almost thankful for them.]

That's an understatement.

[She rolls her eyes, not that he can see.]

Let's just say while dying was sort of fun it sucked and waking back up here was worse. I wouldn't recommend it... unless you're into that sorta thing.

Re: Audio

[la_pesado]

Entiendo el sentimiento.

[However, Lopez doesn't really get why you would call it fun. Admittedly, Lopez has considered escaping his life via death before, though only in passing. He always figured he'd be somehow revived or saved, never escaping the stupid world around him.

There's a pregnant pause, seeing as Lopez is suddenly thinking somewhat deeply about something.]
