To say she was full of anger was like saying that the universe was full of stars.

So much anger.
I couldn’t add that to the list.
So I let go.

COMMUNION ✦ ACTION ✦ OTHERS

COMMUNION Communion with Nebula is as much an oxymoron as she sometimes is. It's the feeling of soft snow, gentle and embracing with its touch. A snow that feels too easy to fall into, like one's own nature. In the opposite extreme there's a fire that's searing to the touch - a constant thrum of anger. In this space, it encompasses all of it, though it's embers now. Embers that are quick to catch and burn and die again. For those who see into it enough it's in moments when she's angry - but most notable when she feels weak, when she struggles, when she worries. This burning sensation fights ever with the cool nature of the snow. As if the anger isn't nature here and the fire is becoming more malleable in its embrace. Ever lingering, but faltering under the softness of that snow - The snow is ever gentle and embracing, but lacks the cold (it is warm, it is self). But there is something that twists and coils in the sensation that is cold and empty. Something not alive is ever present, silent and moving, but is overwhelmed by the rest. It is not focus nor is it the all of here, but a moving part. When Nebula speaks here it lacks the husky, mechanical sound her voice does in person. It's softer, but not warmer. It's just as conflicted and in this voice you know that this realm, in her mind, is the place she finds most comfort. Is the place she's far more willing to be herself than anywhere else: It's freedom. But the rage can burn up quickly, taking flight into sky-covered landscape. It feels like anger is the quickest thing to cling to and accept and even in this shared space any other (positive) emotions are in conflict of understanding.

post-oracle, communion

[recordless]

[ The voice that "knocks" on Nebula's doors is loud and enthusiastic, in surprisingly good spirits despite her faction's loss and the cold shoulder of the residents of Highstorm. The importance of the Oracle hasn't quite dawned on her yet, and for now she's content to blithely steamroll her way through life in Kenos.

And the most important things on her list right now are to check in on all the nice people she met in the (honestly pretty awful) maze. ]

It's Nebula, right? This is so cool. [ Communion really is amazing. ] It's Regulus! You know, from the creepy maze? Did you make it out okay?

sorry this is so late! i ended up hiatusing

[ Why is there anyone knocking on her mentalscape door? She already hates communion on principle - for so long her mind was her only safe space - but begrudgingly she does answer. ]

I'm fine.

[ The response is short, if far less gravelly, and the confusion much more difficult to hide here than in person. ] Is that all you wanted to ask?

[ She doesn't ask if Regulus is okay, because clearly she is if she's reaching out. The hint of relief, a ghost of a feeling, is something she can pick up on. ]
