Sand//Mau

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.

Sand//Mau: making something

doesnothappen on August 26th, 2012 04:58 am (UTC)
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."

Re: Under the Deep Water

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.

*focusing, taking a deep breath.

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.*

Re: Under the Deep Water

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.

Re: Under the Deep Water

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

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

As soon as you grasp the end of it, the air wavers around you and you find yourself here.
