Welcome to Gaia! ::

Flyin'High felt woozy as a vision flashed across her eyes after seeing the final boss. She could see her brother? What was this? Why was he in the game?

"How could you Ander! This is unacceptable! How could you do this to our clan? Our family? Our flesh and blood?!" His father yelled at her brother. Anthe cringed at the tone of her father's voice. He must have heard of Ander's mistake. The Mistake Anthe liked to refer to it in the future. He had royally screwed up and told their arch nemesis family one of their secrets and now their father was reaming him out. She only could sit back and watch as Ander teared up and tried to take it like a man. But he had never been very strong in that department.

Anthe could only sit and watch.

In his frustration, his eyes accidentally locked onto another mirror.

Jackdammit.

This place was strange. It looked ... empty. There were tall towers with electricity sparking from tower to tower, a bit like the Tesla Coils. The ground was black sand, seeming to extend on further than his eyes could see in either direction--though there was a hit at some water if he squinted far enough.

It was nighttime, and he could see a million tiny distant stars in the sky, peppering everything. The setting was serene, the only noises being the occasional sparking sounds from one coil to another. The sounds from the coils were almost musical.

He could see no one visibly, hear no one, feel no one--but for some reason, he felt content.

"So, Mr. Rock, how do we feel today?"

He moved the rock in his hands back and forth like it was talking to him, and he laughed.

"Silly Mr. Rock, it's always sandy here! Sandy with a side of paradise! Now, mother, can I have some soup? I've always wanted some sandy soup--" He plucked a bowl up from behind him, eating the sand in the bowl with a spoon, and then slurping at it.

"Mm soup~ Thanks mom! You're the best!"

He murmured something under his breath, before echoing, "Mr. Rocky thinks you're the best too! He loves sand soup! I love sand soup too. I think the group of sparkle stars up there would too, but they're too far away for me to offer any. It's just so -- oh, you will, Ma? That's great!"

GAH!

Blightning would have tried to get further away from this view of the future where he apparently lost his fellows and most importantly his mind, but he found it too hard to lift his body off the ground from where he sat. So, instead, he attempted to look away from it, ducking his head down as he knew the inevitable shatter was coming.

The tragedy of death played out before his eyes. He didn't know who the two figures were, but the perilous situation distracted McCowboy from the rest of the battle, his emotions gripped by the watching the tragic death, that feeling of loss...

...and then he was stabbed.

"What the s**t?" McCowboy spat. This was happening enough where he didn't get too upset about it or take out his anger violently, but he did extend a middle finger to the short boy who had stabbed him.

"Be more ********' careful next time, alright? s**t, don't go around being all crazy with you knife," he continued to b***h to himself under his breath as he limped away. He was only going to be able to take so much more abuse on this battlefield before he would be done in for good.

Soon, he feared, other people may be watching his own death on this battlefield, powerless to stop it, waiting for his clones to replace him.

Familiar shapes moved in the dark, ones Abbi was sure belonged to who she sought and thus hastened her steps toward. She'd been lucky that no one she'd accidentally hit had lashed back at her as a few other had broken out into scuffles around her, but she was thankful that her own sad visions were enough to stay others hands. It felt terrible to have hit anyone else, but the mirrors had to be defeated one way or another, right?
The mirror that bloomed on her right surprised her enough that she side stepped it without any noise, but the player that fell through with no malice. Fatigue screamed in their posture, in the way their weapon laxily cut through the girl. The wound might not have been so bad had Abbi not sought to help the person stand, had not pushed herself against the sharpness to reach their shoulder.
"You ok?" She'd been hit, everything a sharp and sudden red for a bright split second flash, but she was asking after the other. Suddenly clumsy hands tried to set the boy back on his feet, but they slipped off him and she began to fall forward.

Uncertain feet stumbled forward, saw two figures on the ground just a few feet off.
"Please don't..." She began in a soft whisper, trying to summon the strength within herself to run. That damn card from before was beeping like a demon in her pocket, but Abbi knew her time was limited already. If she could just push herself a little bit further, she could rest with her fallen friends, she wouldn't have to be alone she--

--Had sorely ruined everything.
Just don't tell, just keep quiet about it and let it work itself out. He'd nodded at her, no smile or amusement in his gaze but even if he had made it an order, Abbi couldn't listen. It would hurt people, it would hurt her friends!
Of course, he could always make it look like an accident, or worse. He could make it look like a betrayal.
When she didn't listen, because she never does, there seemed no qualms with destroying her and what she had worked so hard for. The girl watched everyone turn away, watched them all leave her and spit her name from their memories. The higher up's who might have known said nothing, no one said anything and for the third time, Abbi watched herself end up alone, almost like it was an inevitability.

The small start of a sob left the girl as she crashed through the mirror, the last one she would be able to break if her weak arms were any indication. Her axe fell from her hands as it struck a third person, this time one she had healed earlier in the game. Abbi cast him an apologetic glance, the best she could muster as she threw herself forward. It was meant to be a run, it was meant to carry her to Ripley and Finn's sides so she could be with them as everything went dark. But her feet refused to cooperate, her whole body refused to grant her this one last wish.
A short tumble and she was down on the ground, still too far away to touch either of the men that had searched for her though she tried to reach for them. Fingertips stretched out, toward a caterpillar she hadn't known was playing and then to a white rabbit she'd always thought of highly. What a shame she had missed them both, what a shame the white rabbit hadn't saved her again or waited for her before everything went dark.
"Just once... Why couldn't one thing be happy... Just this once?" Abbi asked herself as her temple touched the floor, a sigh leaving her as everything faded away.

Feng stumbled a bit as he was suddenly hug. He was pretty sure the other guy was more upset about the sandwich debacle than he was. He pat him on the back awkward.

"Um. I'm okay? I think it was just a vision, nothing real. I'll just... avoid peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? I guess?"

What did you do when someone aggressively worried about the safety and well-being of you stomach?

He lifted his eyes to stare at her, his expression utterly miserable, and Xavier swallowed hard, his fingers shaking - and for a moment, a split second in time, the look on his face shifted, almost hopeful, almost as though he dared, just for a second, that maybe she was actually telling the truth -

- but then an explosion between them in the form of an axe shattering the glass of a mirror nearby, and Xavier was leaping backwards in terror, and Helmut was shrieking, and Drgn was trying to tell him things, things he probably should listen to, but all he could do was stare up at the figure with the axe, his eyes wide.

And then she was gone, and Xavier stood there, frozen in place. He felt Drgn tugging on his arm, and mechanically he turned, watching as the other moved away to kneel beside the tiny figure on the ground. Helmut was sitting on the floor now, wailing, and something melted inside; a small fraction of the terrible loneliness that he always seemed to feel ebbed away.

Maybe she was telling the truth after all.

He stumbled towards Helmut and Drgn and flung his arms around the both of them.

Two people in love. He didn't know if that was to taunt him or not. He'd never seen the two figures but it did look nice. He wished he could have somethin' like that. She was really pretty too, he thought. This can be a good OR bad one.

Willard was utterly confused when he'd been a fist and glass came at him. He'd already been in shock when he'd impaled someone else and now someone was nearly impaling him. A piece of glass scratched at his eye and he backed up covering it with a hand.

It was a mistake like his had been. "No problem, love. This place is sort of crazy." He gave her a smile. "You didn't mean it."
