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?

"Aw, you don't like being close to me?", she says in an obviously teasing tone.

I don't see you out much, so, uh, sorry if I went too far.
no subject
[ reeeeeal smooth. ]

[Megaera wouldn't know the phrase "Social Anxiety", but the concept was familiar enough. More or less. To a mild extent, it had been her before her transformation, so she could wrap her head around a more significant case of it.]
Peopling isn't the easiest thing, really, so I can understand that.

The phrasing... Let me ask - do you want to?
no subject
no subject
But it's not that easy, and I'm not going to do anything if you don't want it. Lots of reasons for that, beyond just the obvious.

no subject
Failing that, there's magic, but that's sorta crude and I really want to not do that to people here.
no subject
I just. Never ... really expected anyone to like me the way Haruka does, so ... I guess I kinda got used to the idea of being alone. 'Sides, I'm sick. I'm not as sick as Haruka, but who knows, my life could be cut short, too. And who would want to be with a sick person anyway??
[ Doesn't she have a great opinion of herself? ]
no subject
Never mind the whole being afraid of others, it just... Your life is worth more, and it's worth living.
no subject
So all she can do to that is shrug.
Sure, whatever you say. ]
no subject
Great.
[Megaera very carefully considers what to do here. She doesn't like the idea of just leaving someone to depression like this, but how to avoid making it worse.]
