THE WORLD THREAD

[maskedworld]

[ The World shows up on the dock with a familiar blond man, looking up to the boat. Taking in a breath, she raises her hand and the boat disappears. However, that seems all she can do as she falls to one knee. Everyone falls into the ocean, but it seems you're all the proper age again!!

You ended up with a physical trait from your denizen though...

Talk to her and her friend? ]

Re: THE WORLD THREAD

[nymeriarya]

[Arya's never seen The World in person before, but she has heard of her. Still, nothing's actually happened to her, save the ruby-red slippers that are now glued to her feet.

Still, she swims closer to the dock, towards the woman waiting there.]

[maskedworld]

[ Kneeling down, the World's mask smiles to her and she holds out a hand ]

Do you need help getting out?

[nymeriarya]

[She gives The World a firm nod. She's not sure who she's dealing with, but right now a helping hand is all she really needs.]

[maskedworld]

[ The World gives her an even warmer smile, pulling her out. ]

I'm sorry I had to dump you in the water.

[nymeriarya]

You...you did that?

[Arya changes from stern to even a little upset, straightening her back and furrowing her eyebrows.]

Why?

[deceases]

[ Natsuno doesn't really know what politeness is. Not even in the face of this girl. So once he manages to drag himself out of the water, completely soaked, he isn't looking too happy. But then again, instead of being downright rude it's more just that he's really blunt. He's hardly noticed his hair having grown darker all the way to black yet though. ]

Was that swim really needed?

[maskedworld]

[ the World looks apologetic ]

I'm sorry, there's only so much I can do right now. The island being on fire last time took a lot out of me.

[deceases]

[ At least he's not even bothering to wring the water out of his clothes himself.. ]

You were the one who stopped that too?

[maskedworld]

I was. It was such destruction, I wasn't able to fix everything. I'm sorry.

[deceases]

Well, you've done more for us than those guys ever did. [ But.. Natsuno isn't friendly enough to say more than that, shrugging afterwards. ]

Don't think this means I trust you though.

[gordianknots]

[Last time, Waver didn't have much to say to the World. This time is different.]

You know for all the help you're giving, it's getting much harder to keep morale up.

[maskedworld]

[ She looks like she can understand that. Her own morale has been down since Christmas ]

I understand. I really am trying to figure out how to get you all home.

[gordianknots]

At the risk of whinging, it's really not going fast enough, and the acts of your peers have been more of an onslaught than usual.

Is there any reason for that?

[maskedworld]

[ There's a pause before she looks to Waver ] The fire may have been them but this...this wasn't them.

[destructiveprinciples]

[ How did Avenger get back to the shore without drowning?

We just don't know.

Once he's reached the dock, he drags himself out of the water with a bit of miserable coughing and sputtering about stupid seasickness and stupid boats and stupid seaweed, crouched down on his knees before looking around. Oh, hey. His legs were the correct length again. |D

... Who's the masked lady?]

[maskedworld]

[ The World watches him carefully, not making much of a sound ]

[destructiveprinciple]

[Avenger puts up a hand to rub the cold water out of his untidy hair and brushes his fingers instead against the two curled horns that now sprouted from his skull. After a few seconds of confused touching of these new additions to his body, he uttered a quiet Persian cuss word under his breath.

Focuses his attention on the silent World instead.]

Hey, who the hell are you?

[maskedworld]

[ She smiles warmly to him now, trying to make sure that she isn't overbearing...]

I'm The World. I've been helping this group out for awhile.

[untilavalon]

[Saber sure isn't used to becoming tired so easily, but it's nice to be back in her own body. However, it's hard for her not to notice her hair has turned an absurd shade of pink. After a few moments of quiet distress, she turns her attention to The World instead.]

Are you one of them? One of these 'rulers'? [She spends most of her energy trying to keep herself warm.]

[maskedworld]

[ The World regards the girl and smiles ]

I am, but I am not.

[untilavalon]

Which is to say you are among them, but not my enemy.

[It's half inquiry and half observation.]

Or that they hold power over you.

[femininetomboy]

[ Wet but inexplicably covered in ashes, just the way Madoka wanted to be right now. At least the battle was over, that was a plus. She'd been pretty terrified.

When she gets out of the water, she basically drops down in front of the World in exhaustion, offering her a weary smile from down below. ]

Long time no see... Thank you so much for your help again.

[maskedworld]

Yes, it has been awhile. I'm sorry your holidays were not enjoyable.

[femininetomboy]

[ Madoka shrugs and then starts to wring out her hair and clothes a bit while talking. ]

I wasn't really surprised about that and I don't think anybody else was. We could deal with it...

Now that we meet again... Can I ask you a few more questions, maybe?
