[ The voice that echoes in your ear may or may not be familiar to you. It may or may not sound much like your own. ]
Off on another ill-advised journey, are we?
2. surprise! (dubious brain ghost edition)
[ A moment of boredom, inattention, injury, restless sleep...and the spectre on the edge of your thoughts is there. They perch on the nearest piece of furniture for what's probably show; the way they rest against it, they could fall right through without a single disturbance. ]
You? Idle? That's a surprise. I would have thought you'd be busy, as usual.
3. surprise! (yes, YES, THE TIGER IS OUT edition)
[ Perhaps you're simply passing time. Perhaps you're on another adventure. You could be doing one of half a dozen other things.
But one thing you know for certain is that Fray definitely should not be looking over your shoulder, or lounging at the bar, or sitting and reading, or simply Doing Anything in your vicinity away from you, manifested - made more than manifest, their existence has weight. Solid and real.
Should not - could not. But here they are anyway, in all their dubious glory. ]
3a. surprise! variant (for people who do not have fray attached to their brain)
[ It's strange to be separate, after so long...subsumed isn't the right word. They have plenty of space. But the tie that binds their existence to the person who had once picked up a job stone from a corpse, listened to his drifting words, is looser than usual.
So Fray wanders, enjoying the novelty. The touch of the wind, the sun. Hard to feel, but not impossible, if they try.
It's not so bad to have a day like this, every once in a while. Maybe they can drop in on all those friends their gracious host has, wouldn't that be funny...
Death, manifestation, all that they've been through, it's not made them any less curious. If there's a vice they share with the Warrior of Light, it's being a busybody. So they can show up simply...anywhere, far more silent than someone in full armor with a claymore has any right to be. To watch? To intervene? Simply to snoop? Fray can do all of that, it sure is fun having a physical separate form! ]
4. idk anything else i'm not your mom/dad/parent
[ This is kinda set up to be wol/xiv centric but seriously you can throw whoever the fuck at them, i'll roll with it ]

Date: 2025-07-25 02:55 pm (UTC)As I recall, it was more of a trial getting Rielle to accept that caring for her was necessary busywork.
[ ...for a moment, her voice is not a near-perfect mirror of the person whose emotion brought her forth. It is a different voice, though one that has also been heard before.
"...Is this it? Is this all that awaits?
No...No more. Enough..."
It's a brief flicker, there and gone. ]
But that's not exactly relevant to our conversation, is it? [ She shrugs. ]
Yes, but don't all the most interesting situations happen around you? [ Amusement again, with a rueful tinge to her voice. ] And again, I ask you...where else would I go?
