Iskaulit Mingle - Problems with Psychics

[notzubats]

Who: Anyone on the Iskaulit!
Broadcast: If you'd like?!
Action: Iskaulit!
When: Today, as Sora's augment glitch starts.

[It's your average day on the Iskaulit. Absolutely nothing seems out of place initially, but without any warning- you might find yourself or your friends experiencing some problems. What's up on that?

In other words, it's an Iskaulit mingle with a twist! Come on in everyone! You don't need to interact with Sora to have it effect you, so feel free to start your own threadstarter! Or talk to Sora, that's cool too. ]

[ Tilting her head up, she looks over at him, hesitating before she blinks back tears. ]

I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive myself, Winn. For all the things I've done.

[winn]

[ he gently wipes her cheek, and just looks at her for a moment. ]

I almost did something terrible once too, some nights...I still have nightmares about it. But when I told Jim about it, do you know what he said? He told me - that the fact that I feel so bad about it proves that I'm not a monster, that I could never be the kind of person who's capable of doing those kinds of things. Our guilt is a badge of honor - it's proof that we care. But...it doesn't mean that we can't cut ourselves a little slack. You deserve happiness, Hermione, you deserve to know that you're a good person, who just was put in so many unfair situations and did the best you could.

[ Swallowing a little, Hermione tilts her head up. ]

I... I just wish it would stop hurting. Stop haunting me.

[winn]

I know.

[ softly. he does. more than anything he wishes there was an easy fix - for her pain, for kitty's, kara's, jim's...everyone's. but maybe this is it, this is the fix, talking about it and supporting each other.

he tightens his hold on her. ]

I don't know if it ever really goes away but...talking about it, it helps. I won't judge you, not for this or for anything, so you can always talk to me. I'll know what a good person you are for you, until you're ready to know it yourself.

[ It makes her sniffle, and turn her head into Winn's side, to let herself be wrapped up around him - it's something she hasn't sought out since she came here and left Dorian behind with Diarmuid and John and Gilgamesh. The few people in the Drabwurld who had seen her like this: vulnerable. ]

That might take years, Winn.

[ But at least there's a ghost of a smile on her face. ]

[winn]

I got time.

[ he smiles a little in return, stroking her hair. as long as the atroma doesn't send either of them back or onward to another kidnapping world, it'll take that long to figure out how to punch a hole in the universe and get back. ]

You got room for one more big brother? [ he already counts her as another little sister, someone he wants to take care of, always be there for. he cared for her long before she was dating his bro. ]

[brainiest]

I think we both do.

[ At least it's said a little more optimistically, and Hermione tilts her head up to watch him before.. It makes her huff a quiet noise, but she can't deny she's a touch happy. ]

I think with all the big brothers I'm finding myself with Cisco is going to be in for a treat.

[winn]

[ that makes him laugh ]

I wouldn't know who I'm supposed to protect here.

[ cisco's his twin, she's his baby sis. he trusts both of them to be good to each other. ]

[brainiest]

I think Cisco has dibs.

[ She does wiggle a little, suddenly shy. ]

I was going to talk to him, actually...

[winn]

Okay - if you hurt my friend I will...frown at you.

[ casually, can you tell how worried he is? it's humongous amounts! they're just in the negative end of the chart. ]

Good. You should.

[brainiest]

[ It makes her laugh, and she leans closer, resting against him. ]

I'm not sure I could survive a frown.

[ But then she huffs a noise. ]

I do really like him, you know.

[winn]

[ he rubs her arm fondly. ]

I do know. It's you two that take your time catching up.

[brainiest]

[ She wrinkles her nose. ]

I am not that obvious.

[winn]

No, but Cisco's that great. [ nudge ]

[brainiest]

[ Oh my god, she's definitely pink. ]

He is... Great. Amazing.

[winn]

[ that's so cute hermione. ]

I'm really happy for you.

[brainiest]

We haven't agreed on anything yet!

[winn]

[ he shakes his head with a smile but ok ok he'll hold a hand up in mock surrender. ]

[brainiest]

You're one of those big brothers. The teasing ones.

[winn]

Guilty.

[ he smiles. but her boyfriend is worse! ]

[brainiest]

My ears will be permanently red.

[winn]

I promise to occasionally give you a break. Like, when I'm sleeping.

[ which is basically never. ]

[brainiest]

I think I'm supposed to say thank you.

[winn]

You're welcome.

[ ruffling her hair ]

[brainiest]

Keep doing that and your fingers will get stuck.
