( open )

Date & Time: Several days after the necromorph outbreak
Location: A VR room
Characters: Chrono + Rosette + open!
Summary: Lil bit of coping in-between zombie apocalypses and civil wars, nbd
Warnings: None! KEVIN AND BREAK
Notes: Feel free to tag around also! ♥


[ Chrono doesn't bother to close the door when he finally decides to try one of these rooms for himself. Something about the last few days (weeks) (months) has left him unwilling to stay in enclosed spaces too long, with no obvious path of exist. Too much like a lab or an undead-lined hallway.

But these concerns slowly melt away as he sets about instructing the AI, and the room gives way to a place that isn't a room at all.

Mountains rise up in the distance, framing a blue, clear sky, and a faint breeze rustles the treetops of a thick Michigan forest. Birdcalls ride that wind, and the air smells cleaner, fresher, than any moon base could reasonably boast. Where the blanket of trees ends, a large, glassy lake gleams in the sunlight. He takes care with this part—instructs the AI to make the water a temperature a bit too low to be entirely comfortable for swimming, knowing full well that this won't actually be a deterrent. But it wouldn't be right, otherwise.

He takes his time strolling from one familiar landmark to the next, having the computer make adjustments as necessary. He doesn't miss details, either; for all the times that Rosette brought him to this very place, his eyes had missed nothing. They were wide and all-absorbing, like someone who had been born anew and was discovering the world for the first time.

(Likely because, in all honesty, he had been.)

He stops once he circles back around to the open door—a black silhouette hanging oddly in the landscape, and the only giveaway that none of this is real. It's here that he surveys the scene as a whole, the sum of all its little memory-parts. ]


Perfect.

[ Well. There's still a thing or two missing. ]

... Almost.

[he shifts away just slightly; opening up the door to too-much-more thought appeals very little to Blue, given those outward impressions he can glean.]

I would not do as much of a guide here; these images are from Chrono's mind and heart.
maddeninghatter: (lazy)

Ah yes, Mister Chrono.

[ He steps in just as Blue recoils. Getting too close is his usual technique for maneuvering people into pushing him away. ]

He’s the fellow with the Rosette problem, right?

[a soft frown, but he stills. fine, then; energy now spent to hoping no foul thoughts emanate.] You consider her a problem?
maddeninghatter: (I glances)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-12-06 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I dooo~!

[ His voice has been sing-song and his expression silly; but now it goes serious, and he adds, wryly: ]

To herself, principally.

[the whiplash shift is...troubling.]

Why do you say so?
maddeninghatter: (come to the cabaret)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-12-31 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
.....

Do you recall the incident with the showers, after the Zombie invasion?
firstroar: (ʜᴇsɪᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴs)

[personal profile] firstroar 2014-01-01 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's slow to shake his head, trying to get a sense for said incident before even having to ask. but...

no. dare he even ask?]
maddeninghatter: (you don't say)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2014-01-01 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ha. Haha. ]

She killed a zombie.

[ Wait for it. ]

By stuffing a grenade down its throat.

[personal profile] firstroar 2014-01-01 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[a lapse, thoughtful, starting to frown.]

Simply saying that... [he shakes his head.] I don't know how to consider it.
maddeninghatter: quick put it in your mouth! (if something seems too good to be true)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2014-01-01 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't know how to consider releasing a live explosive in a moonbase? If not for the —

[ Freakish supernatural abilities ]

— quick thinking of a friend, she might have met a very chilly end.

[what kind of kaboom does a grenade even make man. Blue doesn't know, but that tone he's taking makes him think it's larger than his first impression of it.

huh.]


Fortunate. But I better understand why you say so.
maddeninghatter: (no idea!)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2014-01-03 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[ But enough about Rosette.

He rolls his shoulders, and then stretches his arms out, turning. ]


Amazing how big this place seems, in the midst of our cramped existence.

[personal profile] firstroar 2014-01-04 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[there's just something about that guy that gives reason to hesitate...]

A projection of will...Chrono's is enough to give this place its scope.
