The Mane Event

---

Solar:....

*Solar glances over at Heart's bag, looking towards the direction the mare went, before walking over and pulling out the elements. He brings them over to Lime and the others.*

Solar:Would these be any help? We didn't use them at the train yard.

An una-VOID-able meeting

(*For the sake of everyone involved, and due to there being so many skeletons that I've admittedly lost track of them all, Outer is in his room.*)

*It takes a few minutes, but the door soon opens, revealing a rather lost looking Outer. He seems unsure of his surroundings. It takes him a moment to realize Grell is there.*

Outer:...Oh! Hello there.

*Outer offers Grell a hesitant smile.*

*Fell shakes his head, adjusting his hold on Fiji and stepping away from Rose.*

Fell:[No idea. Did he seem off to you earlier?]

*Fell speaks quietly, knowing that WingDings can be rather grating to hear if you aren't used to it.*

*For a few minutes, Hemlock is silent, running a finger along the pattern of the Promise and its tears.*

Hemlock:.....They started to live together after a few centuries. There was only so long that we could live among mortals without questions popping up. He convinced her to stay with him in his realm. At first... things were normal. She would meet with me or go to walk among the mortals. I was able to visit them with no issue.

*Hemlock looks at Paige, though her mind is elsewhere.*

Hemlock:She started to grow quiet as time passed. Her visits to me and the mortal world became less frequent. Soon... She stopped leaving his realm all together.

*Hemlock's grip tightens on the Promise. She seems troubled by these memories.*

Hemlock:I tried to visit her, and yet, I found I couldn't enter his realm. I had no way of contacting her either. It... terrified me, little scribe. I felt so powerless....

*The deity seems to deflate, gaze trailing down the the Promise.*

Hemlock:I told myself it was nothing. That she had to be safe. That /he/ wouldn't hurt her. He loved her, right...?

*Hemlock scowls, eyes flashing with self-hatred. *

Hemlock:......I was an idiot to believe that. I should've kept trying to see her.

*There's a brief pause before Hemlock continues.*

Hemlock:.....When she finally left his realm, I felt her calling for me.

*Hemlock's voice drops to a pained whisper.*

Hemlock:When I found her, she was practically half dead. /He/.... /He/ destroyed her eye, Paige. That's not even mentioning the other wounds. It took so long for her to heal, and even then...

*Hemlock falls silent, tracing the pattern she wove the Promise into with trembling hands and glossy eyes.*

Hemlock:.....I found scars that weren't there before, among the cuts and bruises littering her body. Scars that shouldn't have been possible.

*Captain puts down the oven mitts, watching as Fry hurries over to Papyrus. The bitty swipes a piece of pepper on the way.*

*He seems to contemplate Lieu's question before answering.*

Captain:Admittedly, I Am Not Sure. It Might, Considering Where We Are?

*Captain seems embarrassed.*

Captain:Most Of Us Here Don't Have Phones For... Obvious Reasons. Mine Was... Broken Before I Arrived. I Didn't See The Point In Getting It Fixed.

Solar:What was that last part they said...? It was so distorted... I could hardly understand it.

*While asking this, Solar has gone over to the door to the apartment, checking that it's locked.*

An una-VOID-able meeting

*Gaster looks surprised by Grell's question, nodding after a moment.*

Gaster:Can... Can you find Outer? He may be able to heal Tom, or at least relieve his pain.
---

*Fell looks unimpressed by the hole the grave marker left in his sweater. He moves Fiji's hands away from the wound and starts to wrap it with with what was once a sleeve.*

Fell:You're calling me spiteful? You haven't seen anything. You get through this, you can try killing me again. I'll even let you get the first swing free. Just don't take yourself out again in the process.

*Once he's finished wrapping Fiji's leg, he picks up the meerkat and starts back toward the infirmary, being careful not to jostle Fiji too much.*

---

*Hemlock hums quietly, nodding in understanding.*

Hemlock:I know you aren't, little scribe.

*Hemlock holds up the Promise.*

Hemlock:However, I am still bound to this one. I can only tell you so much, at least... until I am freed from this one.

*She glances at Potato's sleeping form, shaking her head.*

Hemlock:Shall I continue? I can't tell you much more, but it's probably for the best.

---
*Captain looks confused.*

Captain:To Know You're Safe? To Know You Two Aren't On The Streets In Your World?

*Captain shakes his head, ready to say more when a startled warble from above cuts him off. He immediately looks up, met with the sight of Fry starting to come unstuck from the ceiling.*

Captain:!!!!

*Panicking, Captain nearly drops the knife on the counter and grabs a pair of nearby oven mitts to catch Fry with when he falls.*

Solar:......

*Solar, staring at the remains of Lime's phone in alarm, blinks and looks up at Lime. He tries to say something, anything, but he can't seem to find the words to speak, so instead, Solar nods at Lime.*


*Further in the apartment, Heart can be heard searching for Stripes.*
