Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Then wait we will."
Pause.
"I kind of wish I had cards on me."

 

Ihra smiles.
"You probably missed me for other reasons than this, but having the wielder of Miznyana back is a plus." She giggles, making a deck of cards out of thin air.
"...I don't know any games, but I figure I can learn."

 

“You don’t know any card games?”
I ask, taking the deck.

 

"I spent my time reading through tomes... or, at least, pretending to as I played with flowers." Ihra shrugs.

 

Amethyst feels a comforting pat on her back, Bea trying to calm her.

 

What time is it on the clock?
"Hmm.. let's see. I fell asleep when it was rather dark outside, so probably 10 PM or something. How long have we talked, 1 hour or something? But dreams are always shorter than real time, so maybe 4 hours..."

He changes the clock with his mind.

"So that would mean it's... 2 am in the morning?"

 

"Well, Blackjack's probably one of the easiest ones, so we can play that."
I start shuffling the cards.

 

Sgavrinn shrugs, the clock now reading 2 in the morning.

Ihra sits down.
"That sounds like something Nyre played."

She doesn't stop shaking, but she does wind up shaking less.

 

Bea just tries her best to calm Amethyst.


Meanwhile...

Onyx, in her human form, steps through a portal into the void palace library, looking around nervously.

 

"I think that's good."
He looks at the clock.
"So by my math. If we spent another hour, it'll be 6 am."

 

Emerald glances at her.
"Hey, how's the situation with Lux and Tenebrae?"

Sgavrinn shrugs.

 

I sit down as well.
“Well, Nyre was a betting man, so I wouldn’t be surprised.”

 

"It's a gambling game? Maybe we could find some stones or something to play with..."

 

"So, we have another hour to play." He smiles
"Want to do something?"

 

“You don’t have to gamble. It’s not like poker.”

 

He grows a sapling and bites it off its roots, stripping it down to a big stick.
He wants to play fetch.

"Okay." Ihra shrugs. "So... how do you play?"

 

"u-uhm, i d-dont know." Onyx admits nervously.

 

"...Is Aj okay?" Emerald asks, concerned.

 

"Sure."
He grabs the stick and throws it as far as he can.
"Go get it."

 

Onyx nods, glancing around quickly at anyone near her.
