Who: Hiling Care and Tieria Erde
What: Revival
Where: home
When: July 15
Warnings: post-death trauma

It wasn't until five days after the carnival that Hiling finally appeared back in her room.  The nightmare was finally over, but not for her.  Wide-eyed, she looked slowly toward the window.  To her horror, what she saw pouring into her room was the same mist that killed her.  She screamed and ran for the door, not realizing that she was hallucinating.  Running for Tieria's room, she pounded on the door.

"Tieria?  TIERIA!  Let me in!

She would take that as a yes. Of course he missed her. "What do we do now?"

"We have to find out what we can," Tieria said. "That carnival and the way it functioned, with the fun house portal, it could be a valuable clue."

"I explored a lot, but I didn't really get anything out of it. Did you go in any of the houses?"

[vedaandme]

"I did, but I did not find anything that seemed important," he said. He had heard others had encounters. For the most part, other than no food or water, and the strangeness of the entire place, Tieria had been oddly fortunate.

"So all we know is that it's just another one of those things that happens here." Discouraged, she slouches.

[vedaandme]

"Unfortunately, it does seem to be that way," Tieria said, his tone suggesting he wasn't any happier about it than she was.

"We need to use what we learned there, though. Perhaps there was something that can give us a clue."

"Let me know if you come up with something. I'm going back to bed. Not feeling well."

She got back up, holding her head. Even though the hallucinations were gone, she still felt like curling up in her bed.

If he remembered correctly, she was still human. She would have rubbed it in at him if she'd gotten her Innovade physiology back.

"There may be some aspirin in the bathroom cabinet. It might help."

He might be trying to be nice here...

She paused on her way out the door. It was unexpected, but she appreciated the gesture. She wouldn't acknowledge it, but she did make a stop in the bathroom for some aspirin before heading to her room.
