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.

Re: The Beach

He turns -- his eyes are streaming tears, but even now that you've touched him, he doesn't seem to see you. He looks puzzled for a moment, then turns away again to continue his slow progress.

Re: The Beach

He spins around this time, and drops the man's shoulders to the sand. His eyes dart around wildly, but he still can't focus on you.

"Hello?"

His voice breaks on the word, and he stands there, breathing hard, staring all around.

He stares at you wordlessly for a long moment, unable to process the fact of your presence.

He points toward the gap in the reef... which looks a lot closer than it did when you were walking to the beach.

Re: The Beach

It will take hours, but eventually the two of you will be able to send all of the bodies into the deep water. You'll recognize some of them -- his friends from Aather, and people you might have seen in his memories, who arrived on the Nation long after the wave...
