i'm just really excited to play her again okay

[pseudoll]

Your enthusiasm is noted. [a beat] You might end up disappointed.

However, this place sounds better than the last. Thank you, and please do not put me through such torture again. [Though of course, it's all said in as flat a tone and passive an expression as possible. But come on Yin, this time you have something (or someone) to look forward to!!!]

My thoughts? ... It could be tolerable.

LMAO i'm drowning in a sea of heis

[pseudoll]

Hei. [Now for the third time, but if there's anything off about that she naturally doesn't show it. At the very least, she has a feeling that this kind of thing doesn't matter here.]

It's the best kind of drownig there is!

[bottomless_pit]

[ no, and nor could it be avoided. Time flows strangely here although by a Gate effect or some other means, he's yet to ascertain. ]

You don't have to go there. [ he'll find a way to stop it, if he must. although, no. I'm super excited to see you go to Som! ]

yeah i can't deny it EVERYONE LOVES HEI (AND HIS COLLARBONES)

[pseudoll]

That's what I thought last time. [As in the last time she went somewhere but WELP. HUFF i'm glad to see so many people are excited about it haha]

(and dat ass!)

[bottomless_pit]

We'll find a way. [ He'll find a way. Just take down the mun, apply a selective memory wipe second.

Easy. ]

(no one can resist chinese electric batman man no one)

... mm. [Slowly, she lifts a finger to pull her mouth into a smile. It's been a long time since she's seen Hei; she'd almost forgotten how comforting even just his presence was.] We always do.

[bottomless_pit]

[ he follows that movement, watching it carefully and with the slightest smile breaking the usual lines of his face. ]

What is this place? Where is it? [ if he's going to help her, best to know the facts. Anticipation was nine tenths of the battle and the rest was pure luck. ]

[pseudoll]

It's called "Somarium". I was told it's like a dream world.

[bottomless_pit]

[ he's not surprised. Dreams within a dream, a world of possibilities. Everyone gathered under a single sky and wishing... He remembers how it ended, their job, the Syndicate. Will she be lost in the Gate just as he almost had been? ]

And do you dream?

[ if she went, perhaps she could learn. Hei wasn't willing to take that chance, if he could stop this. ]

[pseudoll]

I don't know. [Dolls weren't supposed to dream, right? Then again, she hadn't seemed like an ordinary Doll as of late; even she could tell that much. On top of that, it seemed like anything could be possible in places like these.]

[bottomless_pit]

[ he frowns, not liking that answer. ] Be careful. [ her specter was stolen from her once, to have it lost again is unacceptable.

She had changed without it to guide her. ]

[pseudoll]

[She nods. After all, with everything that had happened, she didn't want to change either--not then, and not now.] I will.
