Sessions Worlds and Stuff

[:]? *holds the string and lets the yo-yo fall all the way down* [:]) Hehe.
@? *expected it to come back up again, but it doesn't*

Well. That's something good.

][:] now try, flicking your wrist up. ][(] *demonstrates some, raising his hand*
7B3 *is going over to the terminal connected to the Alchemeter*
=[|:|33] *being careful, Marlow drops the yoyo, keeping a grip on the string. a similar result to Hamnet and Factor* ThiS IS FuN. =[|:|33]
( | W | ) >: I want a turn!;

= I don't think they'll be waking up for a while... not unless we try and wake them. =
[!~T] the stealer Av could help and rob them of their aches and unconsciousness. that would help them feel better. [!uT] *Isn't in on the whole, 'lets not try interacting with Av for whatever reason' thing*

[:]? *flicks their wrist. The yoyo "jumps" a little* [(])
@D yeah!

And rob them of rest and healing time. We leave Av out of this. *looking over at Dots* You know about him now?

= yea, we try and not deal with Av...
[!~T] yes. I was healed, but he stole it away from the part of himself. He doesn't want people knowing... something. not without a formal meeting at the least. But I've got a guess. And I'm pretty sure its a good guess. [!~T] and also ok. I didn't know we were on poor terms with them.
-u- |/==]

][(] there-Ya' go! ][:]
7B3 "hehehe..." *crafts a Drill&&yoyo* *a yoyo with stone-cutting edges has been made* 7BD "yea!"
][:] ~!~ Nope. [[:] nothing destructive Nyx. ][:]
7B? "justa cool thing." 7B?
=[|:|3?] *is carefully trying their own yoyo, the minute tilt of their wrist not effecting the yoyo*
( | x | ) ?

He probably thinks keeping whatever-it-is a secret will make things more "interesting".

[:]? *tries to flick it up again, then offers it to Jofie* [:]) You try?
@)

= yea. he just wants a story out of us.
[!~T] nono. He thinks he's doing the best for everyone, but he doesn't understand. thats whats wrong. [!~T] ... 'the source of all evil comes from fear and misunderstanding. even then, the two are twins.'
-u- |/=U]

( | w | ) >: ok; *snatches it up in his mouth, and makes it move around some inside* ( | x | ) ? ( | W | ) *seems to not care much for using the Onponn arm he has*
][:] *goes to capchalog the stone cutter yoyo, and makes some more normal ones* there.
7B3 "thank." *grabs a normal yoyo and starts winding up the string*
=[|:|33] ... =[|:|3?] *Marlow's yoyo has stopped spinning* HuH.

Of course he thinks he knows best. If he took a moment to think that anyone else's thoughts about what he does were valid, he wouldn't do it. *shakes head* I don't want to talk about Av right now.

[:]/ *it's not terribly interesting to watch Jofie's mouth, and they're a little confused why he's eating it instead of trying to yo-yo it*
@? @) *but, Mack has more yo-yos, so they're not worried about not getting this one back*

[!~T] sorry.
= = this isn't the best place for a nap...
-u- |/=U] ...

( | W | ) *is busy learning about the Yoyo*
][(] here ya' go. more yoyos. *tosses a new one towards Hamnet and Factor*
=[|:|3?] *swings the yoyo some, trying to make it wrap up again*
][:] your petal stopped pumpin'. you gotta wrap it up again.
=[|:|33] OK.
7B3 *done with wrapping, Nyx lets it unwind, and wind right back up again* 7BD ! "Heehee!"

Should we go to the house?

[:]) *Hamnet catches it this time, and gives it to Factor to try*
@) @? *it's tricky to just hold the string, but they manage it--and manage to flick it back up again, but are so surprised by it working that they let it all drop to the floor* @o !
[:]o [:]D Yeah!!

][(] good job! just got to work on your grip. ][:]
7B3 *Nyx has got down-up figured*
=[|:|3?] HmmM.
( | w | ) >:almost learned yoyo;

= Maybe.
[!~T] I think Ribbon will be up soon actually... She might not want to be held when she awakes after, ... just a little bit longer.
-u- |/=U] ...

@D *grabs the yo-yo to try again*
[:])

Then, we wait... I hope Mack's doing alright with the kids.

= I'm sure he's doing great.
-~- mmh...
|/=U]
[!uT] Mack tries. ... I'm sorry I ended up messing with him when I tried drawing earlier... [!~T]

][:] there you go. if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. ][(]
7BD ! *tries wheeling it about, but ends up flailing. the string wraps about his mechanical arm* 7B? 7BP
=[|:|33] *has settled for letting it swing back and forth like a pendulum*
( | w | ) ...

He'd appreciate the apology. I bet he'll be fine; he'll talk about it when he wants to. *goes to sit next to Ribbon again, to be near when she wakes*

@) *down, up, down, up...* () hehe!
[:]D

[!~T] But he doesn't want to. [!~T]
-~- ... ~!~ (|)_(|) *snaps awake, gripping at the ground* TnT oh thank goodness... *she's trying to breath calmly*
= ! Ribbon. you are ok. we are ok. *feels that being ok must be stressed to reduce stress*
|/=U]

][(] now you've got it! ][:]
( | w | ) *takes yoyo out of his mouth, and starts making it do careful circles* >: it works!; ( ^ w ^ )
=[|:|3D] YaY.
7B3 *is untangling himself*

It's over, Ribbon. You're alright. *she wants to put a hand on Ribbon's arm, but Dots just said she wouldn't want to be held, so she doesn't*

[:]) *takes the yo-yo back from Factor to try it themself again*
@)

>~< mmh. hmm. mmh. U~U ... 0~0 *backs away from the Darkmatter*
|/==]
-~- i'm alright. i'm alright... 0~0 /_ mmmh... I feel really tired. -_-
= = well at least you know you're ok.
-_- it. that. it hurt, and it was hard... we both really wanted to try and heal more than just Dots. I'm. we're sorry that it was even a thought.
[!~T] its ok. its over now. you are no longer being driven by your title.

7B? *has had enough of trying to yoyo* "eh. why don't you show more cool tricks." 7B3 *offers the yoyo back to Mack*
][:] Nyx, if you never keep on keeping on, you'll never develop any key skills. you'd become a Jack of all trades. ][:] ][(] but thats not necessarily a bad thing. trying everything can help you figure a focus. ][(]
=[|:|3?] ... *tries wrapping their string back up so they can try it the wrapped up way again*
( | w | ) *being careful, Jofie sends his yoyo directly up, then down, then back to being wound up* >:This is nice;

It's, not a completely awful thought. But I'm glad you're back. Very glad.

[:]? *is having a less easy time with the yoyo than Factor. It's a little frustrating, but Mack said try try again, so they're not giving up...*
@)

0~0 -u- *trying to let recent events go,* I'm glad to. -u- ! 0~0 um. how long was I out?
= not long. its still a little bit before lunch. =
[!uT] the Darkmatter should be out a while longer. [!~T]

][:] *ends up accepting Nyx's yoyo, whipping it forward and holding it out horizontally as long as he can before snapping it back*
7B3 "hehe."
=[|:|33] *Marlow has plenty of patience, letting the yoyo drop and spin more once he's finished wrapping it up*
( | w | ) *has gotten 'out and in' almost perfected*

Is that a "wait here" while longer, or a "find a better place to rest" while longer?

[:]P *...they don't have the knack of yo-yo, though Factor is trying to give helpful suggestions*
@/

[!~T] Better place to rest. the magic they tried to work isn't as easy with all thats happened to them. umm... ! ~The Lock! [!uT] an artifact of Mind. its hidden underground here. it could help sort things... I think. [!~T]
= I think just giving them enough time is what we need.
0~0 yea. I think we should involve as little magic as needed here. 0_0

][:] here. let me help. *goes to help Hamnet, holding their hand and yoyo by the wrist* its, 'up', and 'down'.
7B3 ... "almost lunch time, right?"
=[|:|33] YeA.
( | w | ) *watches Mack carrying Hamnet through the motions of Yoyo*
