The Mountain Top: Grasshopper 25

After the strangeness of their second day on the island for some, with memories and conversations in a cave, the third day goes calmly.

At least until mid afternoon. As the day winds on into evening all of those who have been sharing memories with others will feel a pull.

A pull to climb the mountain in the north. It is a good feeling, that mountain is where you need to be. A sense of belonging, friendship, camaraderie. You don't need to be alone, just climb the mountain.

For those that climb they will find worn wooden benches spaced around the lip of the caldera in concentric circles, the centre set up like an amphitheatre. The Jema syrup spills from crevices around the edges, running down from the peak in well-worn grooves and channels.

The sun sets slowly on Jema’grethy, slowly sinking into the ocean over a period of a couple of hours. During that time pairs of Voidtreckers will feel drawn towards the syrup, to touch the surface.

When they do they will receive a memory and find themselves back in that cave once more. For those watching it is as if they are in a trance, lasting a few moments.

People feel moved at different times and so there are always people aware, sat around the mountain top. It might be that there are other friends they wish to speak to about what they see. It might be that they wish to sit silently and avoid everything, if only their friends will allow it.

But it is a place to be together nonetheless.

"Huh." Well. "Tha's weird. Pr'tty sure someone's gonna have t' deal with my dreams soon..." But that's beside the point...

...Ah.

"...Guess I have t' talk abou' that too..." he mutters more quietly. Well.

"...One thing I'm fine r'peating is...we figured somethin' from back there...migh' stick here... ...Or like. Somethin' other than...y'know..."

This is all very vague, and he's aware of that.

"...like a repeating event? Or repeating presence? Or what, Jonouchi?"

Yeah, he doesn't quite get it. He sighs.
luckydragonsfoot: (ah shit)

"Er...well. More like...a whole.. Dragon," he coughs, looking away momentarily.

"I swear I mean it..!"

"...Red Eyes?"

Well, it's a guess. He squints at Jonouchi, concern steadily growing.

"Baaaah of course y'd guess right off..!" He huffs, but the humor swiftly fades.

"...Old version called it...a 'Shadow'- used t' be able t' pull 'm out from their own, kinda linked at the tail. Did other stuff w'th it but... ...well tha' ain't th' point. Point is, th' guy I was in th' cave with saw some me stuff, an' some past stuff, an' wondered...if some stuff carried over well. Hell why not all, y'know?"
blue_ice: (desperation)

[personal profile] blue_ice 2020-08-25 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
"...ah. And it could happen any time?"

From what little he'd heard about the shadow monsters before, his concern grew. "All right. We'll ask the others. They likely know more about how to help you than me. Think you can manage til then?"
luckydragonsfoot: (u done yet)

"I mean I dunno tha' it's that touchy but... ...well it sure ain't something I wanna be surprised on, y'know? From what I r'member in Alola, there's a shot that Yugi has an idea what'd be goin' on but eh...mostly I don' even know how t' check for weird soul dragons!"

"We have a few who can detect magic. Start by asking them, if you can find someone who'll keep a secret?"

He blew another layer of dust away from his suitcase. Ugh.

"I don't know anyone I'd trust myself, but I'll keep my ears open."
luckydragonsfoot: (ewwwww thing)

"How th' hell do I figure th' secrets bit out b'fore th' askin' bit..." he mutters, frowning at the ceiling.

Katsuya turns his head, squinting even more. "O...oii, why 'trust' instead of 'at all' f'r th' magic thing even, there someone I oughta be avoidin'?!"
