VANITY 「 JOINING. 」 - ASYLI - 11-27-2018
[align=center][div style="borderwidth; width: 500px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; line-height: 15px; font-size: 9.5pt; font-family: arial"]A G O N Y . She was in agony .
She was screaming , she was certain of it . There people standing around her , watching and pointing at her while he body ached and her lungs burst . Why were they standing there . . . what had she done ? Her body was shaking , her eyes rolling into the back of her head and , distantly , she could smell the burning of her own flesh . They were watching this , watching as she begged and yet they did nothing .
Laughing , laughing , LAUGHING ! They were mocking her , laughing as she herself screamed , cried , and begged for mercy . " Release me ! " she wished to demand , wished she had the ability to cry out anything but jumbled words of pain . Although she was sure her words would fall upon deaf ears , her cries meant nothing to people who believed themselves in the right — who believed themselves saviors . Were they wrong ? She wasn't sure .
" God , save the sinner ! " they chanted .
Sinner ? Oh no , no , there were many here — everyone screaming gleefully as her flesh melted . She knew they would repent , as all beasts must , and she swore she would be the one to bring about their demise as they brought upon hers . Again , again , again , she'd play this game again ; of course , she knew , she could never win but it was a game she'd come to love . Play it over , and over , and over again . The voice whispered . She intended too , she had no other choice , she would always play the game over again . One day she would be the winner . She could make them suffer in their dreams , drive them all to madness . . . yet she had lost , oh , but how they would still suffer .
Laughter filled the air , growing louder and louder until she felt as if it could deafen her . There were murmurs now , then there were screams . Her throat felt raw , she was sure blood had splattered against her lips but she was certain she was no longer the one screaming . It was they who now screamed , had they seen her body yet ? She wondered if she was still beautiful to them , if her melted skin was still a grace to their eyes . . . her heart pounded wildly in her chest , body heaving as her mouth opened again to gulp in burnt ash .
Oh , she realized then , the laughter belonged to her .
The fire wrapping around her limbs no longer hurt , oh no , now they welcomed her .
When she awoke the first thing she noticed was the pounding in her head , a dull thud against the inside of her skull . She couldn't help the groan that slipped from her lips , green eyes clamping shut as though to block out the brightness of the sun . . . to little avail . Everything seemed like too much and Tomie was concerned that the black spots dancing around her vision would attempt to , once again , send her crashing into waves of forgetfulness . She blinked rapidly , sighing a little as the black spots faded slightly and the brightness of the sun was no longer blinding .
She moved to push herself upwards , cursing when aching limbs simply buzzed with pin-pricks ; ah , she had been here for quite some time if her body had grown this numb . Thinking about it now , Tomie was not sure where exactly here was . Her mind was fuzzy and while her memories were not simply black spots they seemed distorted , as if she were trying to listen to them through water — there was nothing she could make out . She winced slightly , shaking her head to push away the nausea that seemed to bubble to the surface the harder to attempted to see through her own mind .
" Oh G— " her voice cracked slightly , her throat burning as her world seemed to spin rapidly before slowing . The dingo paused , pressing her face against the ground an attempt to push blood into her brain ; why was she so painfully dizzy ? No matter , Tomie did not have time to sit here any longer but . . . well , she wasn't sure if she could make it far from here either .
" Bloody hell , " She whispered , body drawn taught as she finally took the chance to take in her surroundings . Odd , she had not seen the mountains there before nor had she heard the thundering of the sea in the distance ; Tomie must have been too caught up in her own pain. She wobbled slightly as she moved forward , eyes glancing over her shoulder in the direction of the mountains — no , she knew she would have better luck of survival if she found the ocean . She knew it , for she could hear it calling out for her .

Luckily, with the floods receding- they were able to travel back down to the main territory. As much as Bucky enjoyed the cold weather and thick snow, they couldn't live up at the peak of the mountain forever. Not everyone was suited to living at such a high altitude, and doing simple tasks such as hunting became far more difficult. While the floods caused major damage to their sea village, it can be fixed. If Sunhaven works to rebuild and clean up the territory, things can slowly turn back to normal. He's certain of it.
The maine coon silently made his way through the territory. His ears were pricked forward, listening for any voices throughout the territory. With his enhanced senses, it made it easier to pick up on noises and scents. Thankfully, his other senses weren't enhanced- that'd be a nightmare if you ask him. The territory was a little muddy to pad through, but it's ten times better than water being up to his belly.
As he padded along, his ears pricked in the direction of Tomie's voice. Her voice was soft and quiet, a whisper, and his enhanced senses only made it slightly more noticeable. It was still too soft for him to hear it clearly, and left him wondering what she said. As he wondered, her scent invaded his nostrils, the maine coon beginning to track her scent.
It didn't take Buckingham very long for him to come across Tomie. The female looked disoriented, confused as to where she was. He only got to look at her for a moment before she swayed right before his eyes. It looked like she was about to lose balance mid step! The maine coon sighed, quickly padding up to the Dingo, attempting to step in front of her path of way. "Hey, are you okay? You're in Sunhaven territory, " He began to explain with a swish of his bushy tail, "You seem a little disoriented."
