it's only me and you, who is gonna save you now?






You hop through the ring portals, barely escaping Eggman's forces and making it through (mostly) unscathed. On the plus side, you're all here - in fact, you'll find Tails and Vakama nearby, with the fox having brought your pal here too.

But unfortunately, "here" is not exactly the best place to be.

Welcome to the Void.

"Back here again...? Sheesh, I really can't catch a break.

"What is this place, Sonic?"

"This is the space between worlds. The void, I guess you could call it."

Everywhere you look there's a whole lot of nothing. Gemstone-like shards litter this reality in all sorts of shapes and sizes, serving as obstacles or platforms; they're sturdy enough to walk and stand on, but this world's rules are a little different from what you're used to. For one, gravity doesn't really work properly - you may find yourself floating or walking upside-down on a shard you didn't mean to end up on, and it's going to take some getting used to.

There's not really much to do or see here either - at least, not for now. You're welcome to explore this strange place, but you won't find anything particularly interesting... with one notable exception as seen in the comment below.

No matter where you go, no matter what you do, you'll feel like you're being watched.

( it's weird to feel disgust that isn't directed at herself, but there it is. )

...

How unfortunate for you. Was it worth it?

You aren't worth that much. I don't think you're worth anything.

But you're here, and so are we. And as much as I want you dead, I can't do it myself. I know that.

So.



Was it fucking worth it, "Infinite"?

No. Answer me.

( she should leave him. she should leave him to rot. she should push him down further, even.




she pulls him back up instead, gentler than he deserves. )


Idiot. You're worse than I am. I'm taking this as a 'no, Mafuyu, it wasn't worth it at all', by the way. Where are your injuries?

( she sits down on her legs, pauses, and then mumbles a 'be right back, don't move'- sorry tails she needs to borrow some things, but she does come back with supplies.

she works quietly, gentler than she thinks he deserves as she cleans the wounds and wraps them, tries to make a splint for his leg, inspects his back- )


... What are you going to do now?
beathollow: (CA. 054)

[personal profile] beathollow 2025-02-09 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
If you go back, you'll be a bigger fool than I am.

( she's going to keep working, though. )

We're the only ones you may well have, regardless of what you want.

...

( why, indeed? especially when she'd been calling for his heart on a platter not even an hour ago? why, why, why? ... but...


deep down, she knows. )




Above all else... I want to be a nurse- to be someone who can care for others when they need it. And you do.

[personal profile] beathollow 2025-02-09 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. ... Just don't go antagonizing anyone, we don't need to set your leg twice. Alright?

... My name is Mafuyu. It means "midwinter".
beathollow: (CA. 020)

[personal profile] beathollow 2025-02-09 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. ( she nods. ) Is there anything else you need? I'll be close.
beathollow: (CA. 038)

[personal profile] beathollow 2025-02-09 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I've taken you on as a patient- even if I'm not a nurse yet, it would be remiss of me to not continue that duty.

( not like she's got anything else to do, too. )

... I'm not sure what else can be done for us right now, anyways.
