We're done, New Moore.

We're breaking up. Anything you want to call it. You've done enough.

Good.

I don't want to lose another friend here.

[freezespirited]

You're not going to lose me to plastic wrap.

[watersacrificed]

I dunno, you kindda made plastic wrap sound powerful. [Half joking, half being serious.]

[freezespirited]

It's really powerful. It's some scary stuff.

[watersacrificed]

So if it's that scary, maybe you should take someone else with you.

[freezespirited]

...Walked right into that one.

[watersacrificed]

Yup.

So will you change your mind or stay stubborn?

[freezespirited]

It's not going to be very exciting. Just me yelling into space and hitting the barrier over and over.

[watersacrificed]

It doesn't matter. You'll at least have company.

[freezespirited]

Sure. I can't stop you.

[watersacrificed]

Okay. Should I look for you on the highest peak?

[freezespirited]

Yeah, I can wait there.

[Action]

[watersacrificed]

I'll see you soon. [She'll start searching for him and will hopefully find him in less than 30 minutes...]

[Action]

[freezespirited]

[True to his word, he hasn't flown off yet, waiting at the apex, gripping his staff like it's his lifeline and shooting blades of ice at the sky and watching as they fall apart.]

[Action]

[watersacrificed]

[It's not too hard to find him since he's shooting blades of ice at the sky. She doesn't say anything, carefully and quietly coming up to him. It's not until she's two feet away that she says something.]

Hey...Mind if I sit down?

[Action]

[freezespirited]

[He cranes his neck back to look up at her, tugging down his hood but not quite meeting her eyes. He rolls his shoulders, gently waving his staff around with little regard.]

Sure. Pull up a chair.

[Action]

[watersacrificed]

[Her first instinct is to go over to him and give him a hug, comfort him the same way she would with Ven. But he's not like him, nor does she know if he likes having his personal space invaded. All she can really do is take a seat next to him and sit quietly.

If he wants to talk, doesn't want to talk or just throw his powers around, he can. She won't stop him or force him to make conversation.]

[Action]

[freezespirited]

[This goes on for a few minutes, before he finally stretches his feet out and stops. Not because he feels drained, but because he's so bored with shooting ice blades. It's not even enough, it doesn't do anything to calm him down, but he doesn't dare do anything more, so he just flops onto his back and stretches out his arms.]

That was dull. I believe I owe you a snowball fight.

Re: [Action]

[watersacrificed]

[She watches him throw one blade of ice after another, admiring his power but knowing full well he can do much worse. When he flops down she looks over at him, bringing one knee up to lean on.]

Yeah, we could have a snowball fight or just...talk, if you like.

[A beat.]

I know how you feel, really. A few weeks ago I was tearing up the beach...it helped, but not that much.

[Action]

[freezespirited]

[He glances at her, eyebrows arched at the word 'talk'.]

It's just-- what are we supposed to do? Things happen and we can't always stop them, but we don't even know our target here. A whole island? [He brings a hand to his temples, letting it drop violently as he sits up.] Anything that would help, I can't do.

[Action]

[watersacrificed]

I don't know what we are supposed to do or what we can do, except learn and try to move on from it. [It's hard for her to say those words, but they are the truth. As powerful as both of them and others are, they are still at the mercy of whoever or whatever is running New Moore.]

[Action]

[freezespirited]

I can't. I can't do that. I don't know if he's happy wherever he is, I don't know if he's okay, or if he isn't. We don't know what happens to any of them. I can't just move on, not until I've tried everything.

[Action]

[watersacrificed]

I know...but we can have faith that they're okay. That maybe they're in a better place than this. [Because there are far worse places they could be. Far much worse things that could've happened.]

[Action]

[freezespirited]

Do you think that if you believe in something strongly enough, it's true?

Re: [Action]

[watersacrificed]

[There's a small nod of her head.] Yes, I do.
