untrueheart | Act 5

[Under a darkening sky, Rue makes her way 'home', released from yet another kidnapping that she cannot remember. Somewhere along the way she located a broken branch, a few inches taller than she, to lean on while she walks; it helps offset a small limp and some troubling dizziness. Entering the village proper on its western side, she sighs at the length of walk that remains. Why does this happen every time? Why is she always as far away as possible?

Rue stops twice to rest: once in the rec center, and once on a bench near the fountain. By the time she reaches the plaza she's also shaking, and it is the mural around the fountain tiles that really shocks her into noticing her other problem.

Tired, shaking hands open her journal and she clears her throat into as prim and proper a tone as she can before speaking.]

Is there an- experiment going on at present?

['Experiment' absolutely drips with venom and distaste; with luck, it will be enough to hide all of her growing apprehension.]

[[ooc: action stuff and voicey stuff yes let's go WOW I haven't made a post in a very long time.]]

[Just off the path to the Heart Building, in the shade of several trees, lies Mytho's form. He's just barely conscious and not doing anything other than breathing quietly while lying facedown. He looks like he's been through the wringer.]

Rue? No, there's nothing going on right now... are you okay?

[For someone to ask that usually means they haven't been around for a while, and he feels like he hasn't seen her lately either, so. That's worrisome.]

[The only reason he bothers to lift his journal and respond to this is that it's Rue, and she sounds confused. Come to think of it, it's been some time since he last heard from her...]

Not at the moment. Is everything all right?

[Mytho]
