Who: anyone and everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 100
Where: in the Bastion
What: This is a mingle post for after everyone gets back to the Bastion.
Format: action
Warnings: none

[So. They Bastion has a hospital now.

Seeing as how several people got pretty hurt, it might be a good idea to use it.

Or you can mingle and talk to people, if you want. Now is a time for resting and relaxing after a difficult day.

Yep.

[he sighs]

You know what it's like to be an adrenaline junkie like me and not be able to go anywhere...?

I know what it's like to get knocked down and not be sure how to get back up again. Especially after bein' able to do it before just fine...

[She's not injured, but she's in the same boat, really.]

[Sonic sighed, and nodded]

Look... I'm not blaming you, but... I guess all this heavy stuff is finally catching up with me...

... we're... not in our element. I think that's what Yuki would say, if she was here.

[She had no idea what to say in this situation, but trying to tap in to some of her sister's wisdom helped a little.

She slipped in the rest of the way, tail hanging low to the ground with barely any movement.]


Bon and I went through a lotta shit back home, but... we never lost anyone. Now that we are... I'm not really sure how to handle it.

... I lost people. Sometimes I lost them twice or more. That's what happens when you grow up during a war...

[he sighs]

But... it's not really a game of who suffered worse, is it? [he offers her a sad smile] Just... don't feel bad about all this, okay? It's good to be reminded you're not invincible sometimes...

Mn...

[Sitting down, Rin clasped her hands together, staring at the floor.]

... i... it was still my fault. I shouldn't have lost control like that.

[personal profile] fastest_thingalive 2013-09-15 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
... And? Do you know how many times I screwed up fighting Buttnik?

[Sonic reaches over and puts his hand on her shoulder]

C'mon, okay? Pick yourself up and learn from it...

[She can't help the sob that escapes at that, tears renewing after she had thought she'd stopped crying an hour ago.]

I don't want anyone to get hurt 'cause of me... !
fastest_thingalive: (serious)

[personal profile] fastest_thingalive 2013-09-17 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
... then what? You're just gonna cry about it?

[he narrowed his eyes, and moved to lift Rin's head so he could look her in the eye]

This is do or die, Rin. If you don't try, you're going to end upmak ing the same mistake all over again. That's not what you want, is it?

N-no... of course not...
fastest_thingalive: (friendly)

[personal profile] fastest_thingalive 2013-09-17 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
... then pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep on running.

[Sonic smiled at her now]

I knew a guy back home... he grew up with all his friends picking on him. He was afraid of his own shadow! But he picked himself up, and knew he had to change. He ended up...

[Sonic looked down]

... He ended up showing me a thing or two about what a real hero is. But the point is... sometimes suffering can make you stronger in the end, alright? It doesn't make it right, or hurt any less... but you can still turn it into something great!

[Rin did know that, deep down. It had been buried by loss after loss, compounded by a failure that nearly cost them a Core. And it would take time to dig through all of that to find her confidence again, but she was willing to at least try.]

I... I gotta keep movin' forward...
fastest_thingalive: (yeah well I could do it better)

[personal profile] fastest_thingalive 2013-09-17 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the spirit!

[Sonic sat back, and stretched a bit before yawning]

Now... you can pay me back for the pep talk by finding me something to eat, hm?

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-09-18 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Alright alright... gimmie a bit, okay? And try not to die of boredom.
fastest_thingalive: (cheeky)

[personal profile] fastest_thingalive 2013-09-18 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
No problem. I can count floor tiles this time!

Don't hurt your brain!

I've had to listen to Big the Cat talk about fishing. I've done more menial things than this!

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-09-21 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah yeah...

[waving, she leaves, and is gone for a good half an hour before returning with a tray of various foods. No chili dogs, but hey he needs food that helps him recover.]

How's this?

[personal profile] fastest_thingalive 2013-10-09 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Sonic smiles]

At this point I'll eat anything. Thanks a lot, Rin.

At least you know it tastes good, right?
