Rebel 24 [Action/Written]

[not_meatbuns]

[Early this morning, before the sun has really broken through the thick clouds outside, Litchi starts awake. Absolutely everything aches terribly, but she's alive. Every breath is rattling slightly and her lungs aren't terribly cooperative, but they're working. Not that she actually remembers dying, but... the last thing she can remember is Noel approaching her in the woods and then everything went black. And she knows it can't have been good.

...Oh, god, Noel. She has to be alright, right? She... she couldn't have...

Litchi tries to get a look around herself, but all she can tell is that she's in a bed somewhere. And there's someone next to her, but without her glasses, she can't make out any details. But this feels familiar... whoever it is, she has a feeling it's someone she knows.

But, as much as she wants to try to slip away and make sure Noel wasn't harmed, she also doesn't want to wake up her slumbering companion. Especially considering that she can't see at all; she knows she wouldn't get far. But oh god, what if...

No, no. Panicking won't do any good. Just calm down, wait for a good chance to slip away. Even though Litchi isn't sure how far her legs will carry her with how achey and watery they feel.

...Just where is she, anyhow? Where are her glasses? Lao Jiu? And... why can't she sense the Boundary at all anymore?]

---

[And later on, once she's had a chance to get her bearings, Litchi makes a note in her journal. Her handwriting is much sloppier than it usually is, but she really couldn't trust herself to make it through with a steady voice, so... written it is.]

Everyone... I don't think I can ever apologize enough for what happened. I never meant for it to go so far.

I can promise that it will never happen again.

i'm so sorry.

[[ooc: She's waking up in Thirteen's bed, but after that, action threads for House 48 are a-okay. ♥]]

Then your little dalliance with insanity is over?

[Written]

[not_meatbuns]

So it seems, yes.

[Written]

[redstringed]

Perhaps you have learned a lesson in toying with forces beyond your control.

How much do you know of what transpired?

[Written | Filtered]

[not_meatbuns]

I'm afraid I don't remember anything after Miss Vermillion touched my back.

but I do realize what that must mean.

[Written | Filtered]

[redstringed]

So I see.

Do you realize the magnitude of your sins? You might have caused quite the problem.

[Written | Filtered]

[not_meatbuns]

Yes. I realize exactly the danger I put everyone in.

I just wish I had seen it sooner.

[Written | Filtered]

[redstringed]

Good. You might have, had you not been blinded.

Do you plan on repeating your mistakes?

[Written | Filtered]

[not_meatbuns]

No. It won't happen again. I can't I won't let it get so out of hand again.

[Written | Filtered]

[redstringed]

You say "let it get out of hand."

You intend to continue your research, then.

[Written | Filtered]

[not_meatbuns]

No. If it comes right down to it - if he appears here - then I'll find another way. I can't rely on this power any longer.

[Even if she wanted to -- which she nowhere near does -- she couldn't, anyhow. She can sense it: it's completely gone.]

[redstringed]

Then perhaps you are not wholly without a shred of sense.
