Onana had caught one orb, so far. It had made her remember something. The only thing she was certain about that memory was that it wasn't what she had remembered forgetting when she first received her blessing. After taking that into consideration, she found no reason to dwell on it any further.
Another thing she knew that was not related to the memory she had regained -- not as far as she knew, anyway -- was that catching that orb felt good. Like she won something. She wondered if catching more of them would make her feel even better.
Since there weren't any more orbs under the awning, she slinked around the building. She stopped when she got to the corner. The awning ending here. So, if she wanted to walk around, she'd get rained on. She gulped. She wasn't looking forward to this one bit. Then, she darted through the rain to the other side of the building where it was safe.
Here, she saw another orb. She reached out for it, but it fell just out of her grasp.
Once injured, despite seeing another fragment calling to him... Loa was hesitant to go back into the rain for it. That stuff hurt far too much. Instead he paced along the line of the overpass and considered alternatives. Still... he was staring determinedly.

For a moment there it looked like Loa was going to go for it, but he chickened out at the last moment and stayed safely out of the rain.

He drew a deep breath before charging full force into the rain, scooping up the fragment and running back to safety. He was safe and had a fresh new fragment but god that hurt.
"Quit making fun of me man" this one was in what he felt was his own voice but... why would he ever say that? Loa had no idea why he said that or why he sounded so whiny saying it.

Onana felt frustrated. She didn't like missing. Or losing. Missing definitely felt like losing. The orb was right there. She just couldn't understand why she couldn't grab it and it confused her to no end.
She kept trying to catch the orb and ending up with nothing with thin air. Finally, she asked, "Why won't you just stay put?" She tried to grab it again and this time, she succeeded.
The orb made her feel warm and she remembered...flying? "Hmmm..."
After another battle in the crimson bathed landscape that made up the Spire, Coyote decided it was time for a change of scenery. Honestly, she wasn't entirely sure what she was looking for, but something different would be welcomed.
Even before she'd left the familiar boarders she'd hunted fragments in things had begun to change. There was a pendent around her neck, it's soft blue glow painting the red of her core into a rich violet at the center. Currently thin fingers were looped loosely around the glowing pendent, thumb absently rubbing it as she wandered aimlessly through the rubble stern walkways that made up the majority of the Ruins.
This was definitely different. More chaotic, and yet somehow comforting.

So one second he was in the abandoned streets fighting some creepy cat, and now--well, still streets, at least.
It took him a few minutes to get his bearings: so many minutes that at first he didn't notice the pelting rain and the pain it brought, because he was busy reeling from the combined onslaught of having just disappeared into thin air and reappearing with a strange new possession. He stood stupidly in the acidic wet, the pendant resting on his uplifted, trembling palm, and stared at it.
When he abruptly became aware of the creeping pain, he stumbled backwards, towards some hole-pocked awning, and also became aware that he was not the only one sporting something new.
"What is it?" he demanded of the stranger. An arrogant voice that demanded answers.

Now, it was time for Onana to round the next corner. She dreaded this, as it meant she'd have to go through the rain again. She took a deep breath and ran around the corner. She winced in pain when the raindrops hit her body. She sighed in relief when she made it to the other side.
She saw another orb here. She rubbed her hands together as she thought about how she'd catch this one. "Are you like the other one? Will you stop moving around if I ask?" She thought it was worth a try. She wrapped both of her hands around the orb.
Now, she remembered being in a hot spring. Unlike the rain here, which burned here, the water in the spring was warm and soothed her. She thought it was a pleasant memory.
As he cowered under the overpass a second time, Loa noticed a third shard gleaming within safe reach though he carefully dusted the filth of the ground off before adding it to the others. He felt... comforted. Safe.
"I love you too, Corbie" The voice was feminine this time... not from within but outside... but... man, his head hurt. But at the same time... it was worth another shard or two.

Coyote hadn't connected the pain with the pelting rain that fell on her intermittently as she moved between awnings. She was far too preoccupied with the pendant and her own thoughts. Hell, she didn't even notice someone else had popped up(literally) no more then a few feet from where she was slowly wandering.
The voice made her pause though, head jerking up as if she'd been startled. Wide eyes landed on the shaggy, thin figure with a matching blue charm hanging from his neck. Unfortunately she didn't know the answer to his question, and she frowned before shaking her head. "I don't know. It just appeared."
A more thorough look showed a yellow glow peeking around the bright blue of the pendant still resting on his palm, and the petite figure pursed her lips, free hand coming up to rest on the warm red that emanated from her heart. "Who are you?" Not 'what', though that may have been her first choice in words before amending it at the last possible second.

He hesitated, because he knew the answer but didn't know why he knew it, and had not yet had the occasion to share the information with anyone. It felt strangely... personal. Vulnerable. Like giving away a point of enormous weakness to a stranger.
"Amity," he said finally. "Who are you?" He asked it defensively, like he didn't expect her to answer; secretly he suspected he'd been tricked into doing something stupid.
But that wasn't right. The people he'd just fought with had been free and easy with their names. So why did he feel like a name was a secret?
