Who told you so, dilly dilly, Who told you so? ‘Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, That told me so.
ouch is one of the most intimate, romantic ways to be close to someone else. The Town knows this very well -- the Town wants everyone to be as close as possible.
Perhaps that's why this bonding is so...aggressive.
Because you're in for quite the shock on this otherwise peaceful day when you brush against the next person on your path.
Maybe you're going out of your way to touch people. Maybe you've got a terrible urge to just see what's lurking in someone's heart. Maybe you trip over a conveniently placed rock -- whatever the cause, you're getting an up close and personal look into someone else's heart.
Welcome to Awash's eighteenth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to make your own logs and posts for this event!
If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!
[ dextera nods. so he supposes, anyway—he’s never been able to feel these crystals for himself. he only knows anything about them because he understands context, and he turns back, offering the crystal to jion without a second thought. ]
[ He gives a confused blink at first when Dextera holds out the crystal. And then he realizes it's being offered to him, and promptly looks flustered, shaking his head. ]
N-no, it's okay! I, uh, I don't really have any skill with magic-type stuff! And like, it's really cool. [ Really really cool. He's sorely tempted. ] But I'd be pretty nervous about dropping it. Or breaking it.
[ jion’s nervousness oddly, very oddly, puts dextera at ease. this empty space is objectively terrifying, with no way to predict what’s coming or track what’s gone, but when they’re just standing here, with dextera cradling all the potential in the world between his hands, he feels strangely confident in this moment. ]
You can’t break it.
[ also, it’s not like anyone else is here to witness jion mishandling the whole entire world, or anything. ]
[ A blink and a pause as Jion stares at the light in wonder and curiosity. And then he tentatively holds his hands out. ]
Then, um. If you're sure it'll be okay ... ? [ Asking for it feels weirdly kind of embarrassing, but he also really wants to know what it feels like. ] I'll still be careful!
[ for everything else that’s happened to dextera, this is something he can deal with. he knows the idea sephirah very intimately, and he knows that no one else can do anything with it. especially not here, when it’s dextera’s heart. it’s just kind of nice, to share something and not think of it as a burden he’s handing over.
when was the last time he felt this in control? so he nods, and passes over the crystal. ]
…
[ considering it’s the entire world, it feels quite small. it’s a nascent thought, after all—possibility, rather than action. an endless well of opportunity but no catalyst for creation. somehow, it feels maternal, too. ]
[ True to his word, Jion does take the crystal with tremendous care, cupping it gently between his hands and looking at it with open awe. And then angling his head to look at it from the side. And then holding it up high, giving an audible 'ooooooh' in amazement. ]
-- this is so cool!
[ He beams excitedly at Dextera. ]
I mean, it's definitely not as big or heavy as I would have expected? But that ... feels like a good thing? It feels good that it's something so bright and warm. It's really neat. [ A small nod to punctuate his feelings before he holds it back out with a sheepish grin. ] Thanks, I feel like I got to experience something really special.
[ jion’s innocence toward it makes it feel… less important than it actually is. technically, it’s not important at all, if it’s just a creation of dextera’s heart, but the concept of it is about as high on the hierarchy of critical things as it can go. the heart of the world. and it got a “cool.” ]
…heh.
[ dextera’s own heart feels lighter for it, as he lets out that quiet laugh. if the crystal grows a little brighter, well, maybe it was just a fluke? ]
