[As she closes in on that individual soul, the shadow of what was reveals that it is indeed Ling Yao. But unlike the others that have become emaciated shells of their past selves, this Ling is full and healthy, but in a kind of trance. Even in this state of spiritual energy, he somehow seems asleep. He does not respond to her calls. Instead he simply remains adrift.

Greed throws off yet another angry soul before following.]


Did you find him? Is that him?

[She turns back to Greed. It's him. But he's... asleep, I think.]

[So his attention slips. If that's Ling, then was he so docile? So quiet? So Greed steps in to carry his fallen comrade. Will he be roused? Can he wake him? It reminds him all too much of what became of Alphonse. Was it possible Ling was merely asleep? Was that even possible for a soul?

But while Greed looked after his only real friend, those angry souls he had been holding back struck once more in force. They ignored Greed and were suddenly upon Ahsoka.]
resnipstance: angry, gritting teeth, struggling (172)

[Ahsoka cries out, taken by surprise, but she tries to maintain her focus.

Ling! Ling, damn it, wake up!

As yet another torrent of souls threatens to drag her under, she grits her teeth and stretches an arm out towards Ling, trying to reach him.]
avaricious: (Probably unhappy)

[He doesn't. Whatever power the Atroma has, it trumps anything that exists within the stone. But she does get Greed's attention - though it's too late.

All of the other souls who had been brought their moment's respite are suddenly returned to their previous state. So they begin to wail once more, their desperate cries for release merged together in a howling symphony. Like water rushing into an empty space, they suddenly swarm around the both of them cutting Greed entirely off from her. Briefly he's aware of her presence inside of him and the next, he doesn't know where to look for her. It's a miracle he maintains his hold on Ling.]


Ahsoka! Get out, dammit!

[He can't find her in the stone, so back on the ship drifting in space, he reaches out to shake her physical body hoping that will be enough to bring her back. But even that is hard when his head is suddenly spinning with that new and fresh chao drowning out rational thought.]
resnipstance: asleep, eyes closed (173)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2016-03-25 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[No response.

Ahsoka's pulse and breath are still there, but... no matter how hard he shakes, she doesn't even stir. Not even a bit.]
avaricious: (Back to the wall)

[No.

Dammit. This wasn't how it was supposed to go down. He had barely expected her to be able to do anything, but to become lost in that torrent... it had been a miracle to even find Ling, but to find her now? He didn't know if it was even possible.

He made another futile attempt to bring her back, but it was no use. She wouldn't move or respond. That meant her soul was inside the stone and for as much as Greed might have learned from his father's alchemy, he still had no idea what the implications of that might truly mean. A body couldn't truly survive without a soul, could it?

Not for long anyway.

Stooping, Greed scooped up her body into his arms and went to the only person he could think of that could help.]
