Dream Heart

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.
roundandaround: Excitedly talking with a manic look. (idea!!!)

"Whoa...!"

These things are way out of her depth as to how to put anything together, but... maybe that's what the crafting table is for! Is what occurs to her after a lot of distracted flitting around and poking at things.

She takes out the crafting table and tries putting a microwave and a cell phone onto it together. Can't beat the classics. (2009 is classic to her, and I am old.)
roundandaround: Earnest. (we can do it!)

Sometimes your canon gets reclassified as a "collab-based franchise" for a couple years and you can make references like Steins;Gate, no worries.

It's no time machine, but Rinku sparkles anyway, looking it over. She almost puts in a phone number to call... but then realizes that she doesn't remember any phone numbers, nor know who she can call.

"Aww..."

She isn't down for long, though. The Smart Microwave goes into the inventory, and she investigates some more items. What about the broken drone and the... weird laser gun? What's that do if she combines them?
roundandaround: Sparkle eyes, talking. (guess what)

This is clearly the coolest thing ever and she's gonna fly it around the junkyard for a while, getting very distracted from whatever she was supposed to be doing.

...Wait, what is she supposed to be doing?

Drone recalled and put into her inventory, she's gonna try combining as many Tron-line rocks as she can to see what those do.
roundandaround: Pumped-up smile. (we can do this)

Oooooh. More stones and stone objects go into the inventory. ...And then a bunch of assorted electronics, because maybe she'll get some ideas for what to do with them later.

As she explores the junkyard, is there anything else of note?
roundandaround: Sparkle eyes, surprise. (it can do that?!)

"So it's... happy!"

This seems right to her. It feels like there's something more she should add to that, something fun and bouncy and spinny, maybe? But she's not sure who she is right now, much less where, much less what feels like the right thing to say.

Well, she smiles anyway, and she pockets a few more things and hugs the nearest large object to send back the happy feeling to wherever it came from. Then it's back to the riverbank to see what's going on there.
