WHO || Myri, "Finnick" [Closed]
WHAT || En route to the castle, Myri is stopped by a familiar face...
WHERE || The Chicago-O'Hare Airport
WHEN || Immediately after this
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.


[ The Chicago O'Hare Airport is bustling as usual when Myri arrives. They haven't often had to use completely public transportation but since she's going on her own, it'd be silly to fly privately. However, that means Amaranth is going to have to fly cooped up... ]

Better than most fare, at least. [ she's quiet, and it's clearly personal for her, but she moves on ] Maybe... maybe you'll be lucky and he'll get what he wants from you and move on.

[witchwoman]

I'm afraid to hope for it. [She says quietly.] But if he does, I won't stop until I've found a way to help you all.

[ she falls quiet again for a bit, and then she finally says: ] My name is Ludovica.

[witchwoman]

Myrilandel. [A pause before she adds.] Myri.

It's nice to meet you, Myri. [ it's said with the bittersweet pangs of someone who knows that there's nothing nice about the situation at all... but with the real gratitude of encountering another person to commiserate about it with. ]

[witchwoman]

You as well- considering the circumstances. [She tries to smile, tries to put a brightness into her words, but it isn't very successful.]

Considering the circumstances. [ with that, she lapses into a contemplative silence, while eebo moans to himself quietly.

she has plenty of time to get to know them both over the coming weeks, although it's becomes more difficult to focus on making friends or remembering details day to day as the effects of sleep deprivation become coupled with outright torture.

sarandis is a creative man, and a persistent one, and myri gets to grow very accustomed to his voice as he personally oversees a number of experiments designed to try and unlock the secret of her empathic healing. one of his favorite things to do is torture eebo in front of her, especially as she grows more attached to the frightened bat moreau, in hopes of studying the effects that healing others has on her.

the days blur together, and her body grows weaker, her mind more clouded by a mixture of lack of sleep, poor diet, and occasionally drugs pumped into her system. it becomes very difficult to say how long she's been here, but at least, for the time being, no one's trying to graft umberhulk arms on her or anything.

it does begin to feel, however, as if maybe there will never be an end to all this... ]
