Falling (RaiGM{Bloodline})

[Stigma Wyatt]

Following her 'death' by her own hands, the darkness would disperse and Rose found herself safely in her room again. She was on the floor, clutching at her own neck, which quickly prompted her to sit up and drop her hands.

Every time she felt pain something else would change with her. As a result, Rose would close her eyes and search her feelings, trying to see if she was guided somewhere again.

[Sir Galahad]

The would be a faint sound in the deep recesses of her mind... she couldn't quite tell what it was though, she would have to sink deeper into her subconscious to hear it better.

[Stigma Wyatt]

Her brows furrow in slight frustration, doing her best to focus on what the sound was but finding nothing.

Elias meditates whenever he goes talk to Leon...which she somehow hijacked by sleeping, one time. Maybe she needed to try and sleep? Or learn to meditate?

Since she wasn't sure how to really do the latter, Rose would lay down again and try to relax. If trying to focus this way wasn't working then she'd just try to drift to sleep.

[Sir Galahad]

As she lay there relaxing she would feel herself starting to drift to sleep... only to suddenly be stuck somewhere between awake and asleep. She couldn't move her body due to sleep paralysis, but she could 'see' things around her like a lucid dream. Random images conjured from her mind would appear and disappear at random. Building, art, locations from her past just randomly appearing and disappearing at random intervals, some even mixing in ways that shouldn't be possible but still some how made sense in this weird state of awake and asleep. There would be so much going on that it might take a moment for her to realize that the noise she heard earlier was growing louder, and... it sounded like laughter.

[Stigma Wyatt]

That was...usual. Rose would struggle to move a little at first, finding herself in a bit of a panic at her lack of control. The imagines suddenly blinking in and out and merging and morphing were causing that panic to grow, but distracted her from her inability to move. Her eyes would shift side to side, up and down, constantly looking elsewhere and constantly just seeing something new she couldn't bring herself to really explain. She could see it clearly, but it was all so bizarre she would never be able to explain what it was in words.

And finally, when the laughter reached a loudness she couldn't quite ignore, Rose would frantically search for the source of it.

As much as she wanted to tell it to stop, she couldn't even make herself speak.

[Sir Galahad]

Things suddenly began to change as the laughter grew louder and louder. The images were less and less things she knew, or had seen, and now were becoming twisted and contorted things that looked like they could only exist in nightmares! Things were bizarre and off the wall. There was no way she would know how to recreate anything she saw even if she tried... The laughter was now deafening and it would make Rose feel like her head was about to explode. Then it would suddenly be quiet.

"So, you came looking for me, didja?"

Then an all too familiar face would suddenly pop into view above Rose. It was her twisted inner self.

"I woulda thought you would stay away after our last visit, maybe you are crazier than I gave you credit for!"

She would begin to cackle.

"What do you want?"

[Stigma Wyatt]

It's not only getting more disorienting to watch, but more terrifying too. Her eyes would squeeze shut and she'd give a low whimper at the feeling in her head until it suddenly became quiet.

Her eyes would open at the sound of the voice, the face popping into view startling her but Rose didn't react too much outwardly due to essentially being paralyzed.

After the question, Rose would struggle to speak, feeling like she actually had to unlock her jaw before she could even utter a thing.

"Y-y...you...did something..to me..." Rose would struggle to speak, her speech sounding slow and even a little bit slurry. "Wh-when...I died...wh-wh-when...you killed me...I tried to follow what that f...feeling was...and it br..br-br...brought me here..."

[Sir Galahad]

"Me?"

The other Rose would ask innocently. Placing a hand on her chest as if she were hurt by such an accusation.

"I did no such thing! What exactly are you accusing me of doing?"

[Stigma Wyatt]

Rose narrows her eyes at her.

"You m-made it very c-c-clear...that I should let loose...and n-now I'm seeing all th-these strange things because of you..."

[Sir Galahad]

The girl giggled.

"Of course! I set you should let loose, ease in, but I'll give you some props! You jumped in head first! I'm proud of you!"

The girl teased. Then she would plop herself to sit right on top of Rose's stomach.

"So, how are you enjoying my world?!"

[Stigma Wyatt]

"It's horrible!"

How was she supposed to let loose and enjoy something like THIS?

[Sir Galahad]

"Awww, don't be like that! C'mon! Embrace it girlie!!!"

The girl squealed out as she started to plop up and down on Rose's stomach as if she were riding a horse!

[Stigma Wyatt]

Rose coughs and grunts because there's nothing comfortable about this on so many levels.

"S-stop!"

Was she really just called back in here right after the first time? For this?

"H-how do you even e-enjoy this?!"

[Sir Galahad]

The girl would just smile. However a different familiar voice would call out.

"You just gotta learn how!"

Then Rose would now see the familiar face of Stella Princeton standing beside her inner self.

"It's reeeeeeeeaaaaaallllly Great. Once you accept it as a part of yourself and it feel SOOOOOOOO good."

She would say with a smile and a wink.

[Stigma Wyatt]

Oh no...now there's two of them.

Rose would barely give Stella a glance before shifting her eyes, discomfort clearly visible.

"And...how...do you learn to do that..?"

Not that she wanted to become like either of them...not at all. She was going to stand firm on her clear thoughts from before when she first met Stella.

...but you know. She was dragged back here for a reason. Maybe she needed to at least check it out...
