Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

The sun's barely rising, and Siln's still asleep.
"Morning, love." Anne whispers.

 

"Morning, sweety. Slept well?"
He slowly gets up.

 

“Do you know what ‘cutting the deck’ is?”
I ask, putt the card stack down.

 

Onyx draws close to Virei'tus, staying hidden.

 

"You do not need to hide, miss Onyx." He says, continuing to focus on some sort of ritual.

"No, but I presume it's not literal."

"After you fell asleep, yeah. Hard to sleep with a bunch of rocks hitting the ground."

 

“Correct. You take part of the deck, and put it under the other part. It’s a way to show the shuffler isn’t cheating.”

 

"So... like this?"
Ihra takes about half of the cards, then puts it at the bottom of the deck.

 

Onyx seems shocked, hiding further behind the statue before climbing up it and peeking over the top.

 

He chuckles.
"Hehe"
He looks outside.
"So.. today is the day."

 

Virei'tus continues with his ritual.
"You cannot hide from everyone. Vision is not the only way to hide."

"Yeah. You're not gonna go to the witch, are you?"

 

Onyx climbs down the statue, before curling up on the floor, scared.

 

"No, no. Ofcourse not. Siln warned me about her. I'll go talk with the other sorcerers."

 

"...It's nothing to be afraid of."

"Good. I'm just worried she might try to tempt you."

 

Onyx shakily and nervously looks toward Sivius again.

 

Sivius isn't present.

 

Onyx nervously steps out, looking around.

 

Virei'tus is absorbed in his ritual, and nobody else appears to be around.

 

Onyx tries sneaking past Virei'tus.

 

He ignores her.

 

Onyx hurries onward, exploring.
