Day 321 | A Walkabout
Who: Megaera, OPEN
Open: Open
When: Day 321, pretty much all day
Where: Various places around the Bastion
What: Emo Megaera Is Emo
Format: Action or Prose, your choice
Warnings: None
Megaera had been thinking about things recently. About where the Bastion was headed, and what hope that might entail. While she'd come to accept that her former world was lost - and her world before that in turn, almost assuredly - it was still difficult to accept some of the things that were lost.
People were one thing. But the knowledge lost - and how much of the world's magic was going to be possibly forever crippled by not having enough arcane energy to cast more than three times per day without special tonics... That hurt more than anything. To someone who placed her identity as a wizard first and moremost, the idea of an entire world's development being lost - so much beyond her ability to know what to ask for, let alone to comprehend and use it - was really starting to get to her.
So she walked. Through the new forest, to the hot springs, to the very edges of the Bastion, out on her usual shard run... She'd been moving basically nonstop.
Where might you run into her?

To be fair, she didn't get depressed easily, but she was kind of frustrated. Maybe talking a little more would help, since she's still... being her...

Megaera shook her head. "I thought I was getting past what's been lost. That I could manage to move on and focus on what's ahead. But now..."

Megaera shook her head. "I... I don't think so." And that only made it feel worse...

She sat waiting for Megaera to maybe sit by her or something.

"Not knowing... That's possibly one of the worst bits of all. I'm a Wizard, I'm supposed to know, but..."
no subject
"I'm just... lost." She slowly hugged Megaera back.

Megaera scooted in to hug Patchouli tighter. "... Thanks, Patchouli. Really."

"I... I know what you mean," she said.

"... Hrm. A little chilly out here this evening. Shall we head to the library?", she said, managing to work up just a hint of mischeviousness in her tone.
no subject
"Do you wish to stay the night with me? We can talk more about these things, if you want."

"... A nice design you have, for sure," Megaera observed, as she looked along the furnishings.
no subject
She wasn't exactly sure why she hadn't invited Megaera to her room. Maybe she just didn't have a good chance because they talked so much outside.
