[ It is getting to be evening times now, so it's not super super hot out, just pleasantly warm and still kind of bright. Indoors or outdoors, there are probably enough things to do and enough people out and about to have fun or...harassment is fine too. ]

["The Tower"? That didn't make any sense. Accord? Even less so.

Her lips press together in a line, and crease appears between her eyebrows. What is he talking about? It didn't make any sense at all.]

[heresyandlace]

[well, she's listening. And not going anywhere. And giving him room to speak.

So, he gladly does.

And there's a smirk too--creeping far too comfortably across his face]

Oh, don't worry, you're not the only one trapped here. ...We all are.

That should be some small comfort, right?

[wordmiser]

[That causes her whole body to tense, weight moving forward onto her toes as if to run. Eyes narrow into a glare as she forces herself to at least the semblance of relaxation.

That's a lie. No one trapped her, not anywhere.]

[heresyandlace]

[oh, yep. Just as entertaining and interesting of a reaction as he'd hoped. And she's still quiet. Huh.]

If you don't believe me, you obviously haven't had time to look around yet. Tell me, have you just arrived?

[wordmiser]

[A grit of her teeth, a flit of a glance at the wall and she lifts her chin.

Maybe. What of it. That shouldn't matter. If she'd come in, she could go back out again.]

[heresyandlace]

[oh, he loves how easy she is to read. Wonderful expressions.

His smile widens and he inclines his head a little. Almost smug about something. ...It's definitely the stance of someone who has forgotten that they're still standing around in their swim trunks]

Well. Wherever you were before, it isn't connected to this place at all. Now matter how far you get away, you can't actually leave.

...It's something like being stuck in a dream.

[wordmiser]

[Her eyebrows lift.

Really, man? That's what you want? You're not even wearing pants :|

And why was she going to believe some cock-and-bull story like that. It's ridiculous. Don't be ridiculous.]

[heresyandlace]

[unfortunately for everyone, he has made an art out of being ridiculous]

Hey, I'm just trying to help. You don't have to believe me.

[wordmiser]

[It was that smile. She really didn't like that smile.

A sharp exhale, and she runs her tongue over her teeth before deciding another word really was going to be required. Such a waist of breath, words.]

What?

[heresyandlace]

[oh, you give him one word, and he instantly wants more]

What what? You're really going to have to be more specific if you want an answer.

[wordmiser]

[Selfish, wordy man. He'd steal all her words if he had his way.

None of that.

She shakes her head instead of answer, pokes her eyes out the door again, and decides trying to go out the way she came in might work better. That takes walking past him, though.]

[heresyandlace]

[he watches her like he's trying to see into her head] ...How about a name? Can I have that, at least?

[wordmiser]

[She starts past him, readying herself to phase if it's required, chewing the inside of her lip.

Should he get a name? He was being half helpful... Hmm...]

...Jinx.

[heresyandlace]

[oh, what a name. ha.]

Are you the unlucky one, or those who happen to be around you?

[wordmiser]

[An arrogant toss of her hair. It was anyone around her that she wanted to have bad luck that got the short end of her name.

Like him.

She hoped he tripped and fell in the water.

Okay. Deep breath. Going through the wall should help, right? Put her back where she was before.

Through the wall she goes. And then back into the pool room. That hadn't worked in the slightest.]

...Fuck.

[heresyandlace]

[as surprised as he is when she disappears through the wall, he's even more so when she suddenly reappears.

Blinking and sliding an automatic step backwards--] Oh. So, that's how you did that.
