Safe Space

darkdarkertoodark:

[ Anxiety flinches a lilittle despite his efforts as the portal pops open. He stands and passes through it as quickly as he can. ]

* H-hhello, Flaps.

* [Poor guy. Flaps smiles as he comes through, though, and the portal closes quietly behind him.]

* [He’s still tired, but he’s making the effort! He likes Anx.]

* hey, anx! it’s really good to get to see you in person again. ;v; have you been well?

* [He pats the couch next to him – it’s a lot smaller than the one upstairs, but it’s just as comfortable.]

Safe Space

darkdarkertoodark:

[ Ah, he he did not want to impose, but… ]

[TXT] Thhat would be ssuitable, yes. 

[TXT] Openn the p portal at your convenience.

[ He scoots his chair back and and braces himself – it had startled him last time. He he wanted to avoid that if possible. ]

* [Nice, nice… he brings all the food and whatnot down to his bedroom, setting everything out on the coffee table. Once he’s got everything comfortable and set up, he pulls his phone out again.]

[TXT] * setting up the portal in about a minute! be ready for it, i dont want it to spook you or anything

* [And it goes up, exactly at the minute mark. He has his door shut and everything, and it’s a very cozy space! Definitely bigger than the panic room, but it’s a far cry from how open the main living room is.]

Safe Space

darkdarkertoodark:

[ After a while, certainly over an hour but Anxiety could not say exactly how long, the Panic Room is mostly tidy. The the debris and decorations are stacked neatly in a corner – there there was no trash to put them in, and he cannot would not open the door to the chaos of the greater lab to dispose of it. Pathetic. ]

[ All of the books have been shelved, save save for the one that was dropped by the couch. Anxiety is is very focusedly pretending that one does not exist. Nothing there, tidy room. Blanket neatly foldedd, useless phone on the hook, everyeverything in its place. It it looks more or less as it did originally. ]

[ His eyes flit to the book on the floor. He he pretends they didn’t, and adresses his terminal. ]

[TXT to: Flaps] I bbelieve I am am ready.

@flapsinhands

* [While he had been waiting for a message back from Anx, Flaps had busied himself getting his own home ready. Cleaning up in the living room, getting some food together….. Mostly just to pass the time in between checking his phone, but it kept him distracted.]

* [Once he gets that text, though, he grins!]

[TXT] * alright man! give me a moment to set things up. i remember last time being in the pit was kinda overwhelming – would you prefer it if i put the portal down in my room and we can hang out down there? it’s a much smaller space and there’s no one else down there.

[TXT] Ah, hhello Flaps. This iis Anxiety. It it has been ssome time since we spoke. My my apologies. I hope you arre doing well.

flapsinhands:

[TXT] * oh! hey anx!

[TXT] * it’s no problem man, i’m just glad to hear from you again. i’ve been doing okay – i hope you have been, too! you should drop by sometime. o: or like – i could come to you, whichever would be easier. i’m up for it.

[TXT] I I think a portal will be fine. I am uncertain hhow to leave this space without one, I I hhave never found an exit…

[ He once again looks around the room. It it is a mess, still wrecked from that horrible child’s torment. He had not had the energy to clean it at all… What what would Flaps think? ]

[  ]

[TXT] I wwill need s some time to prepare, if that is acceptable.

* [Aw, Anx. He’d be happy to help clean up!]

[TXT] * that’s fine! you take all the time you need man, just let me know when you’re set and i’ll get that portal going for you, yeah?

[TXT] Ah, hhello Flaps. This iis Anxiety. It it has been ssome time since we spoke. My my apologies. I hope you arre doing well.

[TXT] I amm afraid my space is in ssomething of of a disarray. 

[ Anxiety hesitates. From his memory, Flaps’ home is very… spacious. It had been intimidating last time… ]

[ His eyes fall on the book he’d dropped, still laying on the ground. Anywhere is better than than here. ]

[TXT] I wwould very much appreciate it if yoou could host. Uunfortunately, the portal ssystem I had been developing is… offline.

[TXT] * no worries man, we can do this a couple different ways then

[TXT] * if you don’t think a portal would be a good idea, then i can always come walk there & walk you back?

[TXT] * or i could pop one of my own portals over there. it’s up to you in the end but i figure it’d be better to give you at least a couple options

[*Well….wasn’t that going down memory lane. Not a particularly good memory but, one none the less..]

*…Yes..I was a shard, a while ago. And, believe me when I say this, I rather not go back to that.

*It was thanks to her kindness, and to others, that I am now who I am today. But, anywho..

*I am quite thankful that I was able to get a hold of someone, her technology here is very old. I’m quite startled that she even could get a hold of anyone at all on it.

[SMS] * no yeah i hear you, i wouldn’t wish that on anyone. it’s not the best of fates

[SMS] * i’m glad that she and others were able to help you, though, and also  that the equipment has held up. i could probably swing by and help get things running better if you wanted? it’d be no trouble at all

lucidiasansgaster:

*Well, you see, she is actually the one who gave me my nickname.

*I am aware that she knows of other fragments in the Void, so I was not sure if you knew her or not.

[*Seems like the fragment had the same idea. Better to be safe. At least he didn’t encounter a specific fragment.]

[SMS] * ohh!

[SMS] * yeah, i do know her! are you like – i think i remember her mentioning she had started caring for a shard at some point, is that who you are? O:

lucidiasansgaster:

[*Oh he was giddy alright, that his work paid off. Now, lets see how long the connection lasts.]

*…Flaps? That sounds familiar as well.

*You could say that, I have been around for a little bit, though mostly in hiding.

*Tell me, you would not happen to know a fragment that goes by the name Lucidia?

* [He types a few moments, but pauses. He did like to assume that others had only good intentions, but….. It was better safe than sorry, especially lately.]

[SMS] * i could, yeah o: why do you ask?

lucidiasansgaster:

flapsinhands replied to your post:*Well, now that the connection seems somewhat…

   * hey hello, who’s this? i’m getting your signal my dude    

[*Success! He got someone! Although the connection was faint, he could get, at least, some audio.]

*Oh! Thank goodness!

*Hello, my name is Alphonse, or well..thats my given nickname.

*I am so relieved these old machines still work.

* [Alphonse, Alphonse…. it sounded familiar enough. Flaps gets up from where he was sitting, and makes his way over to his computers. Might as well be at his proper setup to talk, right?]

[SMS] * nice to meet you, Alphonse 🙂 I’m Flaps!

[SMS] * you a new fragment, I take it? your name sounds a little familiar but i’m not 100% sure

Null And Void//CLOSED RP

lastinggaster:

* …I understand.
* Thank you for the offer.
* …

* …You’re too kind to me.

* [He sighs, and stands, rubbing his cheek tenderly. Ow.

Null has already started to lumber over on all fours, and the big fluffy fragment sits by his side like a ridiculously oversized dog.]

* …Is there anything else?

* No, that was it.

* [He glances over to Null – giving a little wave – but his gaze shifts back to Eight, after a moment.]

* You can leave. Just stay quiet going through the living room. I’ll trust you to make your way out yourself.
