Dear Gamer: Let's Seek Each Other Out

I love the dedication you all show. We cant let this die because we are two people short. There has to be a way to bring this to life again. Anyone offering to double maybe? Or other ideas?

Btw, we should maybe put the RP on "apply" instead of "full"?

Aaliyah rested on the thick branch for a while, enjoyed the smell of nature, the feeling of rain was still in the air for her senses. Her mind traveled to the rainy day yesterday and to the storm that she had heard about on the news. She was aware that it wasn't nature's doing. She knew the nature of earth by now. This was something that someone else had done. She didn't know how and she didn't care. She was just glad that no one got hurt and that it didn't havoc around her living area. It would have been a disaster.

A noise, sounding much like a song, appeared through the trees, danced along the tree trunks and tangled itself up to the leaves on the very top of every tree's crown. It was like a breeze that would brush by everything and everyone and it caught her attention. Her arm started to hurt from the pulsation coming from the tattoo, it had gotten stronger as she song had traveled to her ears. She sat up and let one leg hang off the branch as she looked into the ocean of trees to her left. It was hard to locate the direction the song came from and she wasn't able to do it with her ears. The melody simply started to feel like it was coming from everywhere, maybe even from the trees themselves. But she knew better. And so did her heart.

A strong sense of Eredh was in the air. Her heartbeat quickened, she could feel it inside her chest. What was this song? Before she knew it she had slipped off the branch, fallen a couple of feet deep and landed on hands and feet with no further sound. A human would have had at least a broken ankle if not worse. She stood up and looked into the direction that her Eredh-senses were pointing her to.

"Can you feel this?", she asked seemingly talking to herself, but then her head turned towards the tree indicating that she actually talked to her imprisoned mother. She looked back into the direction the song was coming from. "This is stronger than anything I have ever felt on earth. It's beyond what earth has to offer." It reminds me of home. What if one of her people had gotten free somehow? What if this was one of her folk?!

As quick as her feet would carry her she started to run. Twenty feet later she decided that at least making an attempt to hide would be smarter and climbed back up into the crowns of the trees, jumping from one to the other as she raced through nature. Her wrist was a constant reminder that she was getting closer and it only excited the woman more. If her soulmate was actually one of her people that had gotten free...

But as she reached the destination, stopped in the crowns and slowly, carefully went closer to the ground by climbing on lower branches, she had to realize that it wasn't one of her people. The sense of Eredh in this person was strong, undeniably, and it only fascinated Aaliyah more. Who are you? The pain on her wrist was slowly getting unbearable, but she refused to show herself to the person. Of course... if the person knew how to work her Eredh she would feel Aaliyah's presence just as undeniably as she felt hers. And of course... if she looked up Aaliyah would be very much not hidden. She squatted on her feet and hands on a thick enough branch that sat 17 feet above the ground, though not as thick as the one she earlier relaxed on, and looked down onto the creature with pure fascination.

The woman was singing. And her Eredh was flowing through all of nature close by. It was something that Aaliyah had never seen on earth before. Was she from earth or did she come here like Aaliyah had?

Staring down on her, Aaliyah didn't even consider that this could be a potential dangerous situation. She was still the queen and the one who had done this to her people was still out there, fully aware that Aaliyah would run towards a strong sense of Eredh any time. But all this vanished into the back of her head as she listened to the woman sing her melody. All while her wrist felt like it would cut itself open, such strong pain was emitting from it.

@ihinka I was just writing a reply to you and then the browser on my pc died and now I am hoping for all gods in heaven that it's gonna work again in a second and that most of my text will be saved because otherwise I dont know what to do. I'm not one who can easily rewrite the same text. I am so scared.

I had it finished when it died!! So yeah I assume everything is gone now. And I know I will never be able to rewrite it. I dont even remember everything I wrote and how I worded things. I am so done. So angry.

Edit: All is well. It was saved thankfully and I quickly posted it. I am sorry if the reply sucks, I hope it's alright.

@ihinka Today I'm busy, going out swimming with friends. I doubt I'll be writing a reply after swimming, I'll probably be super dead. So maybe tomorrow I have more energy and time to write a reply to you. I am sorry to keep you waiting. I'll try to get it done tomorrow but I cant promise because my life is very spontaneous these days haha.

_{{Sorry 'bout the messy/shitty reply, @ihinka. Kind of late here.}}

She heard the clapping, saw the hands coming together and some smiles on faces here and there, before she realized what was happening. On stage a whole new world opened up to her. She forgot who she was offstage, she forgot who she pretended to be, who she should have been, who she wanted to be. And she just existed for her own sake for a moment.

The clapping died down and Aaliyah smiled a little shy, but bright and thanked the people for listening as she sat down the guitar and left the little stage. She shot Shorty a look. He was wiping a glass that seemed perfectly fine and gave her a nod with twinkling eyes. She hadn't known him for too long, but Shorty had taken her into his heart like no one else before on this planet. Aaliyah was thankful for his small gestures.

She placed her butt on a stool by the bar and leaned her head on her hands. "Soooo... You still want me to come back?" She smiled at him with a thankful expression all over her face.

"You are extraordinary, Liyah." He gave her a wink and a playful side-smile before putting the perfectly fine glass down finally. "You should consider going out doing exactly this." Liyah rolled her eyes and put her head on the bar. She had heard that a couple of times before, but she hadn't taken him seriously. "You are somewhere else when you're up there. I mean, I don't know 'bout music and shit, but you sure feel whatever it is you're doing up there." He lowered his face a little to be able to look at hers. "Hey, you were fantastic once again."

"You can say that!", she mourned and lifted herself up again. "You're like.... nice and stuff." Shorty gave her a laugh at that statement. "You just can't tell people when they actually suck."

With one raised eyebrow the owner of the little place put some money on the counter and picked up the next perfectly fine glass to polish. Aaliyah smiled at him, took the money and thanked the man with a grateful look. She lifted herself off the stool and walked out of the cozy place that made her feel right at home somehow.

She didn't count the money, it went straight into her purse and she turned into the direction that her heart told her to go to. It took her a twenty minute walk to realize where she even was heading. But when it hit her, she felt like she had known it already.

Her feet had carried her straight up to the Pelham Bay Park and her heart skipped a little. A playful tiny smile curled around her lips and her eyes brightened up just a tad bit. A deep sadness was still hidden beneath it all. In a quick movement she had taken off her shoes and socks and stuffed them - somehow - into her purse. With quick, skilled steps she fastened up her pace until she was running effortlessly into the park. The feeling of dirt and rocks and grass and sticks underneath her bare feet made her feel like she could fly any second. It almost felt like home when she closed her eyes.

A couple of moments later she had climbed up onto one of the highest, oldest, most precious and impressive trees, lying on one of their thicker branches. High enough to feel like she wasn't part of this world, but low enough for people to see her if they decided to look up at the crown. She had chosen that very branch instead of climbing to the highest point because she knew that her mother's face would be around this very area if only she was still alive... still free.

A soft smile played around her lips but it faded with every minute that she lied in the tree and looked up at the green leaves that covered the crown like beautiful hair. She didn't talk, she wouldn't have known what to say. 'Hey Mom, I gave up on saving you and all your kingdom, but I still visit your eternal prison, that's fine right?' 'Hey, Mother, awesome Queen and all that, I was a terrible Queen for ... like ... the two seconds that I was Queen. And now I am a disappointment more than ever, kinda sorry though.'

Aaliyah sighed. She felt her heart sink and suddenly her earlier feeling of being able to fly turned into a feeling of being chained to the ground. She felt heavy. She kept looking up at the crown of the tree, seeing a bit of the blue sky through some holes in the green.

She could feel a slight pulsation in her wrist. It was like a faint heartbeat, but not her heartbeat. She looked at the tattoo on her wrist that she had carried on her skin for so long and that she never knew how she actually got. But she never minded it much, it just was there. But now it was pulsating like a faint heartbeat and a very slight light shone through it. Aaliyah put her arm back down, dangling it off the branch and letting it hang in the air. Whatever happened would happen, there was no use in trying to stop that. She knew that much. Whatever she would do now - stay there, hide, run, maybe even fight - it would all lead to exactly the scene that the universe had intended to happen. It would all play out exactly how the universe wanted. And Aaliyah once more felt like she wasn't in control of her life. Was anyone really ever in control?
