[Game 18] The Waking World

[arsgoetia]

After successfully talking Zan into waking up—the world around you starts to dissolve and break apart. There's a lurch, like the sensation of abruptly falling into sleep, but backwards; and all around you, the glass begins to crack apart, splintering and sending ocean water splashing everywhere, gushing forward, a cascade of blue and black, alternating between starfish and actual stars, suspended in liquid sky.

. . . reality seems to bleed in overtop of it and, sluggishly, you find yourselves waking up all over a suburban basement in New Jersey. There is a lamp on near the bed, where someone is still asleep, though fitfully beginning to wake up.

More noticeably, there is a woman sitting up in bed with him, arms wrapped around her bare knees as she watches them with amusement, extremely beautiful and . . . extremely familiar.

"Wow." One hand drops to Zan's hair. "I don't even know where to start with you guys."

[you know that song 'a kiss with a fist'?]

[arsgoetia]

Tristan was not actually expecting that, so he just sort of flops back on the bed with a squawk.

[stillyourpeacock]

That was for Christmas.

[now you get a kiss :|!!!!!!]

[arsgoetia]

Well, Tristan isn't going to say no to kissing, either.

[stillyourpeacock]

[what a dumb demon]

Was the Cassie screen-name a reference to Greek mythology?

[arsgoetia]

Tristan . . . sighs happily. "I missed you."

[stillyourpeacock]

You could have seen me a week ago!

[stays close, though]

[arsgoetia]

Tristan cups his face for another kiss—and looks up at him pleadingly, face still close, expression slightly fearful.

Then pulls away with a wide smile. "Hmmm, well, we'll have to make up for lost time after this, won't we? ♥"

[stillyourpeacock]

[... that's very worrying]

Let's go now. Tristan, let's go right now.

[arsgoetia]

"And where will I go?"

[stillyourpeacock]

I'm sure there are motels open and I've never had sex with a woman?

[arsgoetia]

Tristan laughs, taking Fon's hands and drawing them towards his mouth, kissing Fon's knuckles. "Well, I can't have that. But where will I go after that?"

[stillyourpeacock]

[would blush if he wasn't so worried]

Where do you want to go?
