She hadn't been kissed on the forehead in so very long, like the fingers brushing through her hair or the petting. It had always just be a family thing, or namely her mother to calm her down or to convey her love in a simple manner.
There had been only one person to do such an act recently, though he missed her forehead. And not even in the most romantic of ways when the boy accidentally caught the girl's lips. No, he got the bridge of her nose...and hit part of her eye. She winced but Olivia still hoped beyond hope it was him though the doubts ran so high. Because why would he do something like this sweet gesture when he had given her such a look of hatred and walked off without a care. Or it was still a case of mistaken identity. Or a cruel joke he had decided to play on her, knowing how low she was feeling.
She didn't know which one was worse.
Olivia raised her hand and pressed her finger against some part of skin, as she was not sure where and began to write his name with a small little question mark at the end. It was sloppy and lazy because she was so tired.

A battle raged around them, the chaos of so many Lost searching for things they didn't understand, but there was one last truly intact piece of his shattered mirror and it felt like that was right here. With all the others smashed beyond recognition or scattered to the far corners of existence, Thackery found importance in holding the one that seemed like it remained. Literally, in this case.
"I knew you wouldn't leave me," he sighed, sinking into his embrace. The Voice's demands could probably wait this once. It had told him to remember, hadn't it? And here he was, lost in a memory that he didn't want to destroy. Not like all the others had been.
His lips tasted like a calmer time when everything made relative sense (and nobody tried to leave him forever). Of meeting him in the first days of his existence as the Gatekeeper. Of celebrations and time spent together. Of walks through hallways reserved for those who were almost ready.
Not even the doubt he'd felt back then when he realized his time for Elysian would come soon could compare to the doubt he felt now, trapped between this one remaining piece and the one chance to be the True King.
He released half of the hold on his waist to sink his fingers into his hair, gently scratching his ear, swaying with the song of combat.
Still the table. AJ left the book and continued to touch along the table. Why it's so long? He gave a bit more patience to keep on.

The fountain. Again. Apparently, Maple had found something she was very good at. Backtracking and adventuring in circles.
She almost wanted to push the pillar to see if it would fall over. Better not to, even though everyone else had destroyed at least something in this place.
Sigh.

The fist came at his throat with alarming speed, balled up and delivered with full force. He wheezed in a way that no one could hear, and was glad that he couldn't be seen briefly doubling over. Ashford cracked his neck, fingers clenching, fury welling up in him where there had only been despair.
He groped forwards, big hands an advantage as he wrapped one around a slim windpipe and lifted the culprit into the air, snarling despite the fact that no one would see or hear or reaction.
His name was Henry Ashford Charles the Third, and he was a force to be reckoned with, a creature of fear and hate and spite and molten-hot anger. Ash smiled, the edges too wide, taking on a demented turn. This could be The Voice, but it was likely another shade, a pitiful fragment of The Voice's design.
If that was the case?
It meant this creature's life was worth less than a human's. Less than nothing. Ash squeezed.

Uncaring as the liquid (he hoped it was water) dripped down his hand, Aedan carefully ventured a little bit farther into the room....and somehow, ended up back at the throne. Sighing and shaking his head, he moved on--he'd already figured out as much as he was going to from that.

Was it another trick of the Voice?! Where's the end of the table? He wished he could feel something else.

Slowly Mengyao dropped to his knees, still cradling Lifen's body in his arms. Tenderly he stroked the side of her face, letting the fingers of his free hand gently touch her cheek, as though doing so would bring her back, bring the real Lifen. He bent over, his forehead touching hers, and with the hand not holding the sword, he took hers in his, tracing out a few letters into the palm of her hand.
What did you do with the one I love?

Okay. Maybe he should change his direction? He turned left, forgetting the table was on his left. That was a big collision. AJ stooped a bit to rest.

The loss of sight was completely terrifying, as if sound and speech weren't enough. She stumbled blindly in the darkness, hoping, wishing... the answer was here.
As the voice spoke, she paused, listening silently. She already heard this, she already knew.
Find... him? But.. she couldn't even see! How was she supposed to-
She ended up sprawling on the floor as she tripped over something, crying out silently.

Choking. She was choking--those meaty hands were around her throat--couldn't breathe--
This was it. She was going to die. Nevena's feet kicked out wildly, hitting her assailant's body and realizing glumly that they felt as solid as a brick wall. She could have given up then, could have let herself fall into despair and do nothing more.
But what kind of gorgon would she be if she were to be if she were to simply go down with a whimper?
Her legs lashed out again, this time wrapping around thick hips to try and give her some leverage and fight against gravity. Her hair, still soundless, whipped around in utter fury, and needle-like fangs would plunge into Ash's arms again and again and again, attempting to inflict as much damage as physically possible.

Maple tried all that she could to not do as she had done several times now, repeat trips. She zigged and zagged and promised herself she would not fail in her mission to find ... something, an exit? And answer? Someone? Something, she wasn't sure. Perhaps if the chair wanted an answer, it was oddly written somewhere obvious in the room that only allowed blind, mute and deaf people in it.
She felt around and then bumped her side into something very solid and large. The small girl hissed silently and then groped for the item in question to catch herself, letting the pain subside.
It had a rim. A table. She felt around, the table was solid and sturdy. And the more she searched, the less anything interesting was found - had people stolen things? - until she found a book. The pages were soft and felt a little used. Her small hands wrapped around the edges but it would not move.
For vengeance, she ripped out a page... probably like so many others. And continued to rip the page into tiny little bits of confetti, leaving a trail as she walked away.

The figure shifted beneath her tracing figure, turning, relinquishing it's grip on one side of the bare skin above her hip. She then felt something warm and unexpected press against the flesh of her collar bone, and she fought the instant reaction to flinch away, or to punch whoever was touching her. He was just trying to answer her, she told herself, and she concentrated, her eyebrows furrowing, trying to decipher each letter as it was pressed into her skin.
M. Okay, M. And then an..F? No, E. N came after that, and then as the G was finished being formed, she found her body stiffening, tensing up beneath him. Mengyao? How was that even...wait, it could not be possible! This man...whoever he was...stood shorter then she did. Her mouth set into a grim line that nobody could see after she huffed out a breath angrily. Whoever this was, they were playing games with her, and Shaheen did not like games.
Well, unless she was guaranteed to win them.
Still, she felt as though jumping to conclusions and over-reacting by throwing a punch or several might not be the best idea at the moment. After all, they could be standing at an empty ledge that fell down into nothingness for all she knew.
So instead, she lifted her hands, grabbing the man by the shoulders, turning him towards her. She then placed both hands on his chest, feeling his heartbeat beneath one palm as she slowly slid them upwards....
....and settled her fingers around his throat and squeezed.

Less cautious now, he kept moving clumsily around the room, his brain trying to piece together just what the Voice's purpose was--it claimed it wanted to find another 'True King', and indeed, it seemed...obsessively honest, about that one goal--however, why? And how had it created this...world, this unreal place, if what he'd been told after his 'death' was true? If it wanted a ruler, wouldn't it have made more sense to have sought one out in a real place, instead of one of its own creation?
He tried not to think about the fact that the Voice had also implied that there were Kings in this room, hunting down their 'subjects' in what he could only think would be like some twisted game of blind man's bluff.
So intent on his thoughts, he stumbled upon...a table, with a book open on it. It was too heavy to lift, so why was it there...
Was it some sort of spellbook, to 'call' the true name? And the true name of whom? Just who was the Voice, anyway? He kept coming back to the fact that this world wasn't real.
Thinking hard, he used his fingernail, still damp from the pillar, to trace (messily...writing was hard without being able to see!) the words 'Nothing. You are NOTHING.'. Nothing, like this world that it had tried to create--this apparently fictional place, full of people who didn't really exist.
