Noise

It starts as just irritation. A metaphorical crawling under your skin. Things are too noisy, too bright, there is too much happening all the time and you can't take it all in-

Then silence it, make it yours, make it you, take control and destroy what will not submit

It sounds so inviting, a freedom from the noise, but its wrong, its wrong, its wrong and the noise is getting louder, mechanical and foreboding as it sees you, it knows you are there, and it wants to make you apart of it.

For a moment, there is quiet.

You breathe.

And fall through water.

[ ground ...

He flies down towards it then, looking for an entrnce? or a root maybe? ]

[There are no entrances that can be simply found to go below.]

Of course it's not that easy ...

[ He'll trace a tentacle down to where it goes in the ground at least, then. ]

[He can indeed. As long as he doesn't touch it, it remains inert.]

[ He steps onto the ground then, staff at the ready. Waits? ]

Hey! Kraang! I'm - I'm here to get you out of my brother! As soon as I figure out how!

[Turtle chirps at Hunter]

[ He turns towards the palisman at that. ]

Did you say something, Purple?

[Purple chirps again and Hunter feels a little flicker of magic, a suggestion]

[His porting magic]

-- oh, right! I can teleport!

[ let's just try and blink through the ground. ]

[He's porting and]

[He's started to transfer, and there is ground, but there is More Than Ground]

[He needs a Destination, what is he looking for]

[ right. right. Where - what about that ship he saw in the memory? ]

[....oh boy]

[Hunter tries and]

[He slams into a wall part way through, stuck in a kind of void]

[What are you willing to Give?]

[ ah - spit -

Hunter gulps, trying to breathe and wriggle a little loose? He - he doesn't want to give up anything. But it's Donnie so of course he'll do anything to fix this. ]

What - what do you want? Who am I giving it to?

[There is a pause.]

[There is a brush against Hunter's ninpo]

[Does he reach back?]

[ of course he does. The trust flows from Hunter unconditionally. ]

[There is a feeling of a gentle hand on his shoulder. A soft voice, sad, but encouraging.]

[The corruption has caused him to feel almost alone. He needs to know you understand that feeling so he will let you in.]

... I do know that feeling. I've ... I was terribly alone after running from Belos.

I was alone the whole time I was with him, too.

[I am glad you will not have to feel that anymore, but for now...give him a memory. And be ready. What is beyond that doorway will hurt, but your family is behind you.]

A memory ... should it be a good one?

[No. It needs to be understanding.]

...

[ Then ... he hates the thought of giving Donnie something sad but.

He pictures Hexside in those first few days after he'd run from Belos. How he'd hidden in the auditorium, stealing Hex Mix out of the vending monsters, running from anyone who'd come close. Could he trust anyone? No - if he made a mistake, he'd be dead. Belos would have him dragged back to the castle in an instant, and then he'd be taken apart for pieces and reformed into his next iteration. ]

[The memory is offered to the void, and the pathway opened. The hand is gone from his shoulder]

[The gentle warmth is not]

[And he stumbles through]
