[PHOENIX]

[when you open your eyes, you find yourself in a pleasant greenhouse. the sweet scent of flowers surrounds you, and the sun shining through the glass ceiling invigorates you from within. there are stone benches on which you can sit, and if you're hungry, there's a garden table with some refreshing tea and scones available to you]

[the voice– the good voice– echoes in your head again]

YOUR DESIRES. . . CREATED THIS REALM. IT IS YOURS. . . IT IS NOT TYPHON'S! I CAN USE THOSE DESIRES TO GIVE YOU A SAFE PLACE. . . FROM WHICH TO FIGHT.

BUT I CANNOT DEFEAT HIM. . . ONLY YOU CAN. ONLY YOU– WITH YOUR OWN DESIRES!! YOU CAN. . . RESHAPE THIS WORLD. . . HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE!

[ He buries his face in the top of her hair. ]

I - I love you too, Mom.
briarliar: (Delphinium)

[ weh the name makes her feel all kinds of feelings, especially since she didn't think she'd see him again ]

Whatever happens now, I'm so glad to have you back with us. That's really all I wanted.

[ He nods a little. ]

I - well - Sholmes says this is the last game. Is that true?
briarliar: (Parsley)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-12 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think this is a game this time. I think it's truly the end. This is our last stand.

[ she hesitates a little, a tremble in her voice ]

The last game, we didn't fare so well against Typhon. We lost. But I think this time, with you and Miss Marianne back, we'll win for certain. We weren't the same without you both.
pyrighteous: (hunter_152)

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2023-03-12 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Right. So - win this time, or die trying.
briarliar: (Ginger)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-12 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll win this time.

[ and she does sound certain of this, more certain than she ever has about anything ]

This time the rules are easy, we just have to prove our love is stronger than his hatred. Even I can manage that.

... You just did.
briarliar: (Pollen)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-12 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I did?

[ she laughs a little in disbelief then starts crying again ]

I guess I did! I d-don't know why I'm crying so much, I'm really very happy!

[ she sniffles ]

At this rate, we'll have to drink a pot of Miss Marianne's tea to make up for all the tears we cried out...
pyrighteous: (glimmer of hope)

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2023-03-12 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hunter laughs a bit at that. ]

I could REALLY go for a pot of Marianne's tea right now. Yeah.
briarliar: (Lady's Mantle)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-12 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I tried making some for the others but it wasn't the same. I-I did get better at cocoa though. I spent a whole day helping Mr. Emmet with it, after all...
pyrighteous: (King_27s_Tide__28161_29)

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2023-03-12 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Cocoa would ALSO be great.
briarliar: (Gladiolus)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-12 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
We can have both! Sometimes love means you can choose both things you like.

[ well, that's a stretch but the spirit is there ]
pyrighteous: (vlcsnap-2022-05-22-18h19m15s750)

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2023-03-12 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
R-right - well - maybe not in the same pot -

[ ANYWAY. ]

What happens if we win?
briarliar: (Chinese Lantern)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-13 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ you are looking out for Phoenix yet again, because she was thinking about it ]

I'm not sure. I think...at the very least Typhon will release his hold on this place. I don't know what reshaping the world means.

[ her other goal was a wish to reshape her world back home, but she effortlessly and without regret would give that up to save Hunter again ]
pyrighteous: (worried clutch)

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2023-03-13 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
... And then we stay here? Or - do we have to go home?
briarliar: (Hens and Chicks)

1/2

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-13 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, I wish I could tell you with any certainty.
briarliar: (Love-in-a-Mist)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-13 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ she reaches for your hand ]

But I can tell you, if you were ever unsure about your home, you always have one with me. For however long you like.
pyrighteous: (King_27s_Tide__28151_29)

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2023-03-13 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ He clings to it? A little too hard maybe. ]

In your world?
briarliar: (Gladiolus)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-13 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I-I know it might not be a perfect fit, but...Loid would understand. And Anya would love a big brother.

[ she laughs ]

And Bond would love someone else to play with! You could help me wash him. Anya has had some unfortunate bubble related accidents.
pyrighteous: (vlcsnap-2022-04-15-16h58m27s729)

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2023-03-13 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
... Who's Bond?
briarliar: (Apples)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-13 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Our dog. You love animals, so I know he'd love you just as much. He's very gentle, and lets Anya smush his face whenever she hugs him.
pyrighteous: (King_27s_Tide__28161_29)

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2023-03-13 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
That - that sounds really nice. Yeah.
briarliar: (Birch Bark)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-13 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Um, if you don't mind me asking... p-please tell me if I'm being rude! But what about Miss Luz and your other friends...?
pyrighteous: (King_27s_Tide__281704_29)

[personal profile] pyrighteous 2023-03-13 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I -

[ He winces a little. ]

I want to see them. Of course I do. But the last thing I remember from home is drowning.
briarliar: (Bee Balm)

[personal profile] briarliar 2023-03-13 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Drown--no. B-but you're...

[ wow and Yor went and talked about needing hydration GOOD MOTHERING JOB YOR ]
