A hug, offered to a River Knight whose heart aches. Featuring @stormscream.
“You’ll always have a place here.”
My muse killed my other muse...
Ana secretly wants to stay in Il Mheg and live with the fae folk...

“Is that…is that your starship?” Stormy asked, her voice giddy as she clapped her hands despite their circumstances.
The Commander nodded with a small smirk. “Yeah, she can hear us. That’s good…”
Anafenza tilted her head in confusion at this. While the Commander tried her communicator again, she turned to Stormy. “’She’ can hear us? That sounded like a man on the other side?”
“She meant the ship can hear us. Ships are always girls.”
“Ships…are always girls.” Anafenza blinked a few times but shrugged. “I assume this is an Earth thing?”
Stormy shrugged. “I suppose it is. Sorry if that’s confusing.”
The Commander groaned in frustration. “There’s too much interference here, and we can’t get far enough away from the tree to cut through.”
The other two women turned to look. Sure enough, as the Commander had implied, the cavern was smaller now, an odd gray nothingness taking the place of the stone walls around them.
Stormy snapped her fingers, then beckoned for the badge. “Gimme.” The Commander and Anafenza hesitated, not understanding what she meant. Stormy huffed, beckoning for the device again. “It’s simple, right? How do you cut through interference if you can’t build a better transmitter?”
The Commander squinted, her thoughts racing. “Change the frequency?” When the other woman simply nodded, as if coaxing her to keep trying, the Commander shrugged and shook her head. “Um, more power? I don’t –“
Stormy snapped her fingers again and grinned, interrupting. “More power!” She held the device in her hand, and Anafenza saw threads of electricity start to wrap around her arm, snapping and crackling as the woman manipulated the environment around them. As she watched, a thick fog began to form above them.
Stormy looked up to the Commander. “Ready?” When the other woman nodded, Stormy grinned. “Here we go!” She concentrated a burst of electricity right into the device, then tapped it, eliciting the chirp again.
The Commander practically leapt forward, enthralled by the woman’s powers and forgetting for a moment to speak once the device was activated. “St. Peter to Rafale! How do you hear us now?”
There was a curse on the other end of the transmission. “Prophets! LOUD and clear, Commander, how do you read?”
“Same, Rafale! I’m trapped in a collapsing pocket dimension with two other people, are you able to locate us with the signal from my commbadge and my tricorder?”
“Standby…” There were more voices in the background now, as more people began to talk over one another. Anafenza struggled to hear them all, until finally the first man came back onto the channel. “We’re locked onto the tricorder now, but there is still a large amount of interference. Whatever you labeled it when you scanned it – ‘aether?’ – it’s masking your signal. Sensors are picking up three faint life signs but they’re all registering as you.”
The Commander shook her head. “Yeah, it’s a long story, but you’re picking the three of us up just fine. You can’t transport through the interference?”
“We’re having trouble getting a positive lock…”
Anafenza shrieked then, pointing. “Jess, look!”
Both women looked up, then to where the auri was pointing. The Commander gasped. “Rafale, we have a problem! The dimension is collapsing faster than before!”
A female voice broke through then. “I just picked up a massive disturbance in your tricorder readings, Commander! The link we created here is punching a hole through your dimension and causing it to destabilize at an exponentially faster rate.”
“You can’t get a lock, Nizeri?”
“Negative; M’Ral is coming up with a plan but we can’t make it happen in the next ten seconds. Cut power; use your tricorder to send data bursts. We’ll send you a message when we have a good idea what to do on our end. I’m sorry, ma’am!”
The Commander looked at Stormy, then swatted the communicator badge out of her sparking hand.
The grey Nothingness slowed its progress consuming the cavern, and the women all let out the collective breath they’d been holding. Stormy shook her head. “Now what?”
Anafenza spoke up instead, certain of the answer. “We come up with a way to get out of here.”
The Commander nodded. “Boosting the signal definitely helped, but we need a quick solution. While they work on a way to lock onto us, it would help to make it easier for them.”
“A beacon of some sort,” Stormy said, and the Commander nodded.
Anafenza looked at the other women. “If the aether is causing the interference, what if we gave your ship a way to better navigate the flow of it to find us?”
“Not just a beacon, but a map?” The Commander tapped her chin and nodded. “How would we do that?”
“My linkpearl.” Anafenza brought her hand up to her horn, feeling for the small jewel embedded there. “It uses the flow of aether to communicate; your ship could use the flow the linkpearl uses to break through the conflicting aether here and find us easier.”
“That just might work,” the Commander said. “Alright…let’s get to work, ladies.”
This is why Z isn’t a hero in-game as much versus in outside of game RP...I have no desire to pull those shenanigans with people in game. That said, could be fun to have him step up out of costume in those situations...:P
Some salt about RP under the cut.

🌑 4. Something they love but everyone hates.
Ana taps her chin. “Something I love…but everyone hates?” She shifts on the couch. “Well, I don’t think anyone hates swimming really, and reading is generally fun, right? Umm…cooking and baking are fun? I love…hmmm…
“Well, I suppose the one thing I get scolded on the most is the lack of clothing? I like going skyclad mostly (that’s what Lyta calls it), because it’s just easier to swim that way. Clothes get too heavy, and it takes too long to get undressed and then redressed and just…yeah…but that would what gets me scolded the most, so I guess that means people hate it? But not everyone does so maybe that doesn’t answer the question…hmm…hells with it. Naked. Final answer.” She nods, ending the discussion.
((Thanks @little-purple-thundercloud!))
This could be fun!

The dream tonight was more familiar to me. I was in a cave, the steady drip of water echoing as it fell from the ceiling. I wandered for a time, not lost but unsure of where I was to go. I finally happened upon a large cavern, with vaulting cieling above. I looked about, before I suddenly just appeared before me, as if it had been there always
In the center of the cavern stood a large tree, the trunk large around The branches were filled with leaves, despite the darkness of the cavern. An energy radiated from it, a dark aura Creeping up the trunk was a creeping vine that seemed to wind its way around the tree and up into the branches, its dark red leaves trying to choke out the tree.
I know this tree; I first saw it after I killed that woman and took that curse on me. This was nothing new to me.
I found myself compelled to touch it, and I reached out a hand. I gasped when I did as I felt a rush of energy pulse through me. I heard similar gasps of surprise from near me, and I looked up to see
What was new were the other two women in the cavern with me. Each had blue skin and hair, nearly identical in appearance save for their clothes. They seemed surprised to see me and the other, each inspecting their own tree, similar in appearance to mine except for the vine, that also stood in the cavern. The younger of the two was touching her tree with a large hand sheathed in metal. The other held a device that looked like those tomestones, the device giving off a soft chiming noise. She, too, had placed a hand cautiously on her tree.
And as we now finally saw one another, I awoke, shivering.
What is going on with me?
...Ana would totally have a crush on Alisae if they ever met IC.
