it happens quickly, a bit too quickly. [break][break]
there's carnage, and chaos, and there comes a point where it's har to keep track of anything anymore. the voids being thrown out, on top of the attacks, and the pixels and everything.. she finds it so difficult to believe that this is reality, and yet here they are, stuck in this datascape of pixels and binary and data. if the sense of urgency wasn't there, she'd probably find this interesting, and would take more time to look into everything. she doesn't have that luxury. [break][break]
not when a train comes throttling down one of the open portals, and she gasps in response, instinctively letting go of the bolt - hoping that gravity can pull her down fast enough. it doesn't. [break][break]
she's facing the train when it happens, and her eyes shut in anticipation for the pain and the stinging, until she feels her feet touch the ground, and she's alive. somehow. but though she's alive, and tries to open her eyes, she feels that only one of them is open. where did the other go? [break][break]
it comes to a shock when she raises her hand to try and hold the left side of her head, only to find that everything above her left cheek has disappeared, the train taking the quarter of her head up to the centre of her scalp. the right eye widens, though she still feels the bangs that.. weren't brought along with it. it was just the part of the head, but now it feels static. it's odd. it's uncomfortable. the hair that isn't caught in the impact still moves, as though it's attached to anything. it's unsettling. [break][break]
".. ah." she tries to speak, it looks like her voice is still working. her right eye and ear still work, but the left side is a goner. how curious. how frustrating. [break][break]
she doesn't even feel pain. it just feels empty, and that part of her vision is gone - not like it changed much, what with an eyepatch already being over it most of the time. it would be best not to touch the void left behind, so she raises her other hand to rest against her head as she recovers from her landing. [break][break]
their surroundings are reset, and it looks like everyone returns to a common area. here, she hisses, softly. it's uncharacteristic of her to lose her temper, but anyone would get a little upset losing a quarter of their head. she glances down, eyeing a copy - a copy of
herself - staring back at her with dead eyes. ah yes, just like looking in a mirror. [break][break]
then her working eye glances at the screen before them, and she already notices a group forming, talking about their experiences. then, she chirps up, albeit briefly, so she can have time to herself again later.
"they weren't invulnerable." she cups her fingers behind her right ear, holding in the direction of the small crowd (
Martín del Mar ,
kyle lopez ,
luka chêne ,
Thomas Benoit ,
Hideo Kino ,
jayden cross ) to add onto the retellings of
terminal 2.
"even though they're data, we're still able to disable them." she motions to the little plate of a cursola, who carefully hops out of her hold. she doesn't know how useful this information is. [break][break]
".. and it was easy. it felt like it was too easy." and it unnerves her to say. legends shouldn't be so easily downed. [break][break]
she takes a deep breath, she needs it. luckily, she can still hear in her right ear, so she catches the familiar voice of
Leonidas Stone . so she glances over with a slight glare, slightly tired. still processing. there's silence when she's lowering her glare back to the ground.
"i'll be okay." her fingers curl around the remaining side of her upper head. her cursola is concerned, expanding the ghastly body of hers. [break][break]
"what about you?" she starts, taking another deep breath, and a sigh
"are you and your pokemon okay?"
𓆙 mari loses a part of her head; left eye and ear.
[break]𓆙 thought and brain are unharmed, but she's now deaf and blind on the left side of her head.
[break]𓆙 no she's not okay, but thanks for asking.
[break]𓆙 cursola is okay though and that's what matters most
[break]𓆙 comments on the vulnerability of the legendary pokemon
