Sand//Mau

23 August 2012 @ 02:03 pm

IC: Dream Post

The space you are standing in is cold and grey and very still. There is nothing beneath your feet, nowhere to go. You hang for a long moment, in this place with no place, without direction or a proper sense of time, until the light dims...

...and your feet touch ground. Your eyes are closed. When you open them, you find yourself here.

"Thank you. All you have to do is take the end of the spool."

He's definitely more alert than he was when you showed up, and turns to watch you go, pulling back against where his hands are planted.

Okay.

...would it help if you weren't holding that thing so tight?

He looks startled, like that's never occurred to him.

"I -- it might."

It's worth a try, right? Need help letting go?

Re: Under the Deep Water

He tries to pull his hands away and his whole body shudders in a spasm of pain; he cries out, a brief choked-off scream that subsides to panting.

"I can't do it myself."

I'll take that as a yes.

*:/ coming over and taking hold of his hands*

This is probably going to hurt a lot. Brace yourself.

Through gritted teeth: "Do it."

The surface of the cauldron under his palms is barbed, hooked into his flesh with iron and power.

then pulling swift and sure, his own power flaring up to force the cauldron's power back long enough to get Mau's hands free.*

Mau screams as he's torn loose, and falls back against Josh, hands streaming blood -- but free.

*and his aura flows over Mau's hands -- Josh doesn't have much in the way of healing ability, but lots of tiny gouges is about the best possible scenario for it.*

Re: Under the Deep Water

It takes a second for the shock to wear off enough for Mau to move, but only a second, and then he turns and throws his arms around Josh, clinging wordlessly, heedless of the cuts and healing both.

Just...kind of a feeling I have. Like I've been dreaming about other stuff that changes things, too.

Mau takes a deep breath and draws back a little, disengaging gently from the hug.

"Well. Shall we see what we can do?"
