[ shoma, you're falling and there's nothing here to catch you. you are so young, you've got so much more to live for than the inevitability of the fall, the landing, the crashing. you curl in on yourself to make yourself smaller, to brace your frame for the impact that never comes. there are a lot of things that will never arrive for you... how sad. no amount of planning can save you now because there is no plan, there is only this.
the only thing you know for certain about this fall... is that it’s long, and that it has begun to hurt. the extensive weight of it can’t be adequately put into words.
biology and time are immutable forces.
and then you open your eyes, and you are surrounded by shallow waters, they're cool waters, refreshing waters. they lap gently at your shoulders, your weary body. you breathe in deeply, and the air is pure, perfect, not a singular rancid stench to be found and you can fill your lungs without worry. you find that these waters soothe your aches and pain. (it... massages... the meat of your brain. it is pliant and soft, it is tender.) there's a warmth around you. and then, you feel it. something careful, a pair of fingertips moving a bit of hair out of your eyes. a familiar laugh. so familiar, you can forget the fall, you can forget the beast... the beast? what beast... no beastly thing...
doubt? for now... is washed away, pulled out by the lapping tide of the water. you are... calm... you are dizzily happy. with your 2... nothing is wrong. nothing at all. and you are at peace. the sun is delightful on your face, real sun, earth's sun. even being wet from the water doesn't really bother you. life suddenly feels so simple, so easy, without the weight of your worries. ]
Shoma? Hey... wakey wakey, hellllooooooo. [ mizuki needles a little bit. in the background, you can hear a couple of your friends... throné's voice having a soft conversation with amame, funny how that works - when worlds collide. they seem to be having a conversation about music... mizuki's voice chimes in from over you. the whole time, she's teasing you warmly. ] Why're you such a kluzt? Here I am trying to make you look like you fell in on purpose. I shouldn't have to bail you out like this.
[ the water feels so nice. why leave it at all?
at the end of your tag, please roll a d20 and tell me what you get. ]

overhead, mizuki gives you her usual cocky smile.
