06 ✣ AUDIO (cursed)

[merespark]

[ cursed to yearn for the sky but at the same time bound to the ground by a trade. what a cruel thing to happen to an A-T rider. Spitfire's voice is practically shaking with emotion. he shouldn't be making any posts right now. ]

Haha, the sky has never seemed this distant before...

I thought that I had seen the bottom of the well before, but this... this is something else. A fate worse than that of Icarus.

An all too apt description.

[merespark]

So you know about frogs stuck in a well?

[valentineluke]

I've had a taste of true flight.

[merespark]

Do tell.

[valentineluke]

A few curses include being gifted with actual wings.

[merespark]

Never heard of that one before... wait, so it has happened more than once?

[whirling]

What's wrong, Mister? If you want to go up there, then just do it?

[merespark]

It isn't that simple, Orca.

[whirling]

Why? What happened to your treks?

[merespark]

Nothing happened.

The thing is... I have realized my legs aren't enough to carry me out there.

[whirling]

Get someone else's legs too, then! You'll get extra power!

[merespark]

I don't think it works like that.

[errandry]

[ ... ]

Look—Spitfire. Listen, it's a damn curse. You've been there before, you'll get there again! Just...

[merespark]

Can you hear the wind, Kazu? It's so loud.

[errandry]

... not louder than any other day.

[merespark]

No, it is. Definitely.

Listen closer.

[errandry]

[ some shifting. then footsteps, a window's creak. ]

... Is it that bad?

[merespark]

I have to get out.

Out there.

[merespark]

There's nothing poetic about this, believe me.

[sixwinged]

Shut up! It's just a curse!

[merespark]

I can tell it isn't.

[sixwinged]

Look at the fucking network, you idiot.

Everyone doesn't just jump into longing for the sky all at once. Publicly, at least.

[merespark]

This yearning... I've always had it in me, but this is the first time that I fully acknowledge it.

And you know, it's in you too.

[sixwinged]

I said publicly.
