(There's a rapid pattering of tiny footsteps that start rapidly approaching) ChoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! (And Sky Anon slams into Chosen, hugging her, and looks up) Hi. -Sky Anon-
[ Cho hears Sky Anon's voice before she sees her. She barely recognizes it, but she knows when her name is being shouted across the fields. She looks up from her sketchbook, and brightens up when seeing Sky RACING towards her! ]
"SKY-"
[ Sky Anon tackle-hugs Cho. Fae staggers and stumbles, short spurts of fire in faer hands to keep balance like a shoddy jet engine. When fae's stable on her feet again, Cho looks down at Sky. ]
"... Hi."
[ Well, shit, what do you say to someone you thought was dead? ]
"I thought you were dead."
[ 👍 ]
I was! And then I wasn’t… and then I died again to get back here!
(Sky Anon pulls out a scarf)
I bought you this.
(It’s a red and white scarf that’s soft to the touch and very, very warm.)
"Like those old school gamer tee shirts. Gamers don't die, they respawn..."
[ Cho laughs at the cringey tagline. Stupid t-shirts and their stupid little slogans being sold on stupid shoddy websites. So low quality it's funny. She takes the scarf in her hands. ]
"And, thanks. You didn't have to."
[ But there is something uncanny about all this... Her and Sky talking together as if there hadn't been months of distance and death between them. Her and Sky talking... Sky... ]
"Wait, you talk!?"
Yeah! Megabird restored my ability to talk normally.
(It strikes her that Chosen probably has no idea who or what Megabird is)
Oh, Megabird is what the Sky Kids and Elders I met called the being who resides in Orbit. She kinda made Sky Kids for some purpose. She’s the one who sent me back to the Outernet.
[ Megabird. That... sure is a character, huh. ]
"Sounds fun. Glad she brought you back."
[ Cho cracks a small grin, only really visible from the side. Her eyes have a stable but definitely emotional shine to them. Her words said everything worth thinking and feeling. Glad that her friend's back home. ]
I’m glad, too.
(She hugs Chosen again)
I missed you.
