[ Seems to be, because he gets a feeling of amusement and happiness back about a minute after he sends it. ]

[devoutish]

[But it works, and that's the important part. Have some love, Royce.]

[bywolves]

[ It does. Have some love back, Alfie. ]

[furgood]

[Knock knock, someone is at your door. Someone who is still kind of wet from the ocean but bouncing on her feet regardless]

[devoutish]

[Sup, Meulin. He opens the door, looks her up and down, and--]

I knew you would like this.

[furgood]

[She adjusts a shell hairclip, pushing back a big hunk of hair from her face, and grins] Have you gone in?

[devoutish]

Not yet. I'm still not sure I'm going to. But I'm sure you were in from the first moment, yeah?

[Instead of inviting her in, he steps out to join her, closing the door behind him.]

[furgood]

You missed some beautiful things. I just experienced one of the most amazing things.

[She doesn't seem to mind. She's wet. She'd get all his nice things covered in seawater]

[devoutish]

[He offers her his arm, seemingly not minding the wet.]

Come for a walk and tell me about it?

[furgood]

[She tries to wipe off some of the water before taking his arm but it's summer. It'll dry.]

Of course. Remember the Void and the Sisters?

[devoutish]

I do. Yes.

[furgood]

Down in the bottom of the ocean were their trees. There was color and...[She turns in a slow circle looking around and finally points out a wisp of gold] I brought some of it to the surface.

[devoutish]

[What. He's going to turn and head for it immediately, wanting to get a better look.]

Any sign of the Sisters?

[furgood]

No, none. Sadly. But there's a creature with tentacles down in the depths and he says they came from that strange rain. And they came a long way, so long that they lacked the strength to make it to the surface unaided.

[Meulin hangs back a little, enough to let him touch that fleck of gold and not her] Bringing it to the surface was...it was more than anything I'd ever felt. Just a pure rush of--of that. Hope and trust and all that this is supposed to be. I've seen crimson too on my way here as well.

[devoutish]

[Now that Alfie's looking for it, he's seeing some around, too. He brushes his fingers through the air near the gold, but doesn't quite touch it. Not yet.]

Are we meant to collect it, do you think?

[furgood]

It doesn't feel quite the same... When I touched the tree, it all came with me. I was surrounded by it, inside and out it felt like. I wonder if it feels like it did for them.

[devoutish]

You don't seem any different.

[He takes a big step back, so that he can give her a good look-over.]

Do you feel as if you've been changed?

[furgood]

Not physically. I feel...I feel good but it's faded a little. It was just this enormous rush of emotion. I felt that it trusted me. It was so intense that it made me feel almost giddy.

[Meulin smiles and ghosts her hand over the wisp, not touching] It made me hope. Wonder if they sent this as a gift. Or if it was just out there lost waiting for us.

[devoutish]

Do you remember all the colors that came to you more easily, on that world? I imagine it'll be the same here.

[furgood]

Gold and emerald. Sometimes crimson. Finding silver was a chore.

[devoutish]

I've forgotten mine.

[He says, a tinge of sheepishness to his voice.]

I remember the Sisters better than the colors they represented. Rae, she was gold and red, wasn't she?

[furgood]

[Meulin laughs and shrugs]

Rae was gold and red, yes. I always remembered what colors I was good at getting because they mostly went to her. I'll admit I don't remember much about the others. Besides Eve. And that's only because she explained.

[devoutish]

Explained what, their situation?

[furgood]

Their situation, how to gather color. Whenever we go visit there's usually someone there trying to explain what's wrong.

[devoutish]

Mm, I don't always go to them. Me, I like asking people who aren't positioning themselves as the authority.
