☆` not until i touch the sky

[kagayakashi]

Who: Gracia and YOU!
Where: The park.
When: During the canonswap curse.
Style: [ Action. ] for speed!
Status: So, so Open. Like, it's so open I could die.

[ The redhead wasn't exempt from Vatheon's curse this time around. At least it wasn't so bad. She panicked slightly upon waking up feeling rather different, but it all lead to absolute glee as Gracia discovered a pair of strange looking wings on her back. Fortunately, it wasn't just for show, she could actually fly using them. And what a day it's been! Flying up and down the city, around the forest, even the pirate ship...

...There was just one other strange thing about this curse. The wings were a wonderful benefit - she's always dreamed of flying! - but whenever she touched or flew past people or plants within her close proximity, the plants wilted somewhat, and the people either yawned or near fainted. She assumed it wasn't anything at first, but when it kept on happening, Gracia could no longer ignore it.

Was that part of the curse, or the power? ]

[ Currently, Gracia was by the park, underneath a large tree. Clad in a new attire with a dark gray hood, the redhead sighs as her fingers hover above a large pink flower. Before she can even touch it, the flower bends slowly towards the ground, its petals losing most of its color. ]

But I don't understand...what am I doing to it? Ooh, somebody tell me!

[ She's clearly frustrated, if her rubbing her hair till it was slightly a mess wasn't indication enough. ]


((OOC: For the canonswap curse, Gracia is currently one of Homestuck's godtier humans; a Rogue of Life to be more specific. From what I've been told by our lovely mod Dees and other Homestuck Vat players, Rogues steal from things to give to their friends, and the Life aspect is self-explanatory. Put it together, and Gracia is able to steal life from others to give back to others as well! xD; Feel free to poke~))

SHIT I MEANT SPITE, *SPITE* DSKGHDKFSGDA

[kagayakashi]

[ She leans her back on a sturdy tree, hoping it doesn't decay from its sheer density and mass, yet alas...even the tree begins to wither somewhat. She jumps back and sighs. ]

The law of this world...What a horrible law, then. The land should be a gentle place, one without such things existing like taking life from others to gain life yourself.

I WAS GOING TO SAY, THAT SOUNDED SCARY. Your typos are rubbing off on me.

[asea]

If that were the case, this place would have flooded a long time ago.

[ If it's true that the coral takes the foreigners and uses them to power the barrier . . . ]

Give and take is a universal way of life. It's not horrible; it's realistic.

don't insult my typos, they too are part of me. ARE YOU INSULTING ME JAE, I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME

[kagayakashi]

The coral is...well, nobody dies, right?

[ She oversimplifies things. She doesn't seem to realize that if she doesn't touch the coral herself, she will weaken to the point of sickly fatigue. But Gracia sees that as besides the point. Her frown deepens as she realizes majority of the flora surrounding her has already wilted completely. ]

Where should I stay until this curse is over? I don't want to destroy anymore living things...

wow, no, I like your typos?? they're hilarious. like you.

[asea]

[ Likewise, Walter frowns a little, finding the answer obvious. ]

If it bothers you that much, stay in one place where the damage has already been done. Or move into a building.

[ No, he's not going to sugercoat it for her. If she's so petrified to move out of fear of harming things as her Orerines nature should demand, she can stand here all week. ]

oh jae, stop it. you're making me blush. NOT IN FRONT OF THE CABBAGE KIDS

[kagayakashi]

[ She looks bothered with those suggestions too. ]

But I don't like being stuck in one place with nowhere to go! [...But then, idea get! Gracia's expression turns from sour to enlightened in a matter of seconds. ]

What if I stay inside a box? Will the box wilt too?

I'll do what I want, EVEN IN FRONT OF THE CABBAGE KIDS.

[asea]

[ Walter's expression doesn't change the slightest. Is she serious? ]

And exactly where will you go when you're in a box?

YOU'RE SO AGGRESSIVE, it's tearing me apart!!!!1!!11!

[kagayakashi]

[ She looks at him with such excitement that it might be surprising to know that Gracia is 100% sincere when she says what she says next... ]

Anywhere you wish to go! That's the beauty of a box! It can take you to all sorts of places; places you've never even been to!

learn to deal with it!!1!one

[asea]

[ . . . ]

Boxes don't take you anywhere, much less move on their own.

BUT MY FEELINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kagayakashi]

[ She shakes her head, still pretty dazed and in complete and utter awe over BOXES~~~ ]

You're silly. Boxes have taken me to the battlefield, to see the ocean...you've never been in one, that's all! Once you experience it for yourself, you'll understand what I mean!

DENIED.

[asea]

[ . . . is this girl talking about riding in cargo? ]

I have better things to be doing with my time. Unlike you, I use my legs.

BUT YOU LOVE ME DON'T YOU!?!?!?!

[kagayakashi]

[ Precisely. Though any other box would do just fine!~ ]

Hey, I use my legs too!

[ She crosses her arms together. ]

How else would I get to the box if I didn't use them?

YES, BUT RIGHT NOW YOU ARE BEING DIFFICULT BEFORE THE CABBAGE KIDS.

[asea]

[ This is ridiculous. ]

You should know. [ He certainly wouldn't. ] I don't go inside boxes.

I AM ALSO LATE IN TAGGING BACK BUT I HOPE YOU STILL LOVE ME, LOVE ME FOR THE KIDS

[kagayakashi]

[ She points at him again. ]

But have you ever tried? Give the box a chance!

I DON'T LOVE YOU FOR THE KIDS; I LOVE YOU FOR YOU.

[asea]

[ . . . ]

No.

WELL I LOVE YOU MORE, SO THERE

[kagayakashi]

[ Gracia stares at him. Then she peers at him reeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllyyyyyy closely. ]

What's your name?

INCONCEIVABLE!

[asea]

[ This is a violation of personal space, but Walter will not falter from a mere stare. ]

. . .

[ She is not getting his name. ]

OR IS IT /REALLY/????

[kagayakashi]

[ Okay then. She'll stare at you some more, before Gracia begins circling him. She tilts her head after a few rotations. ]

I'm Gracia.

[ ANSWER DAMMIT. ]

DO NOT CONTEST WITH ME.

[asea]

[ He will answer. ]

You're wilting the grass.

[ On a different subject, before swiveling around and walking off. ]

BUT DARLING DON'T BE THIS WAY

[kagayakashi]

[ Oh no mister, you're not getting rid of her so soon. She follows him, keeping up the pace so she can walk by his side. ]

There, now I'm not wilting the grass.

[ A pause. ]

Why won't you tell me your name?

I will be this way, no regrets.

[asea]

[ Well, fine. He'll keep walking, and he makes a point to steer from nature she can kill. ]

Why do you need it? You don't have to know.

You'll regret it when I leave you for Masamune's eggplants

[kagayakashi]

[ And she will walk with you!!!!!!!! ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!! oh and yes, she is also avoiding things that she might drain - like bumping into strangers or something. But it's getting difficult to maneuver herself to avoid innocent people when she can't take her eyes off of Walter. ]

What a strange answer...How come I don't have to know? Perhaps...you have a silly name? Don't worry, I won't laugh at you no matter what!

Carrots. Get it right.

[asea]

[ They're not in boxes; there is no adventure. Unfortunately for her, Walter has chosen to take a social route in favor of conserving what nature is in the park. So there's a lot of stray passersby.

. . . he isn't even going to stop and stare at her for that. ]

Because it's none of your concern. Why are you following? You're treading a lively path.

[ In other words, a path her newfound ability would have a field day with. ]

Eggplants, actually. Gosh. Didn't you get my memo? (SORRY FOR THE LATE)

[kagayakashi]

[ That's fine. Because when she realizes how hard it was for her to avoid touching these locals, Gracia gets the bright idea to use her wings to hover slightly above Walter and the rest of the crowd while still being able to follow him. HOW'S THAT FOR STRATEGY. ]

Don't worry! Today, I can fly too!

[ She hovers around him in a circular path now. ]

...Do you actually have a name? [ /curious head tilt. ]

No. I didn't. Don't judge. (I'M EVEN LATER)

[asea]

[ He ignores her physical presence quite well, all things considered, continuing to walk along without glancing her way. He sees the tilt of her head through the corner of his eye, but his visual attention is drawn away from her. ]

Of course.

[ It's flat, final, and a little sharp, as though the opposite is a ridiculous thought. ]
