Forest at Night isn't Scary for Everyone [Open]

[actuallyahero.livejournal.com]

Shadow Link had heard about the sensorium. To say the least, it sounded interesting. An illusion that became a reality? He knew there were things that could appear an illusion that hurt, but in the end, the thing was truly 'real.' And illusions could be used to hurt and mess with people. But having a physical presence? That was knew.

So he had decided to try it out. Of course, the setting wouldn't be bright. Actually, since he was in control, he had for something that might be nice. Namely, a forest at night. Even as a shadow, he did still feel a bit of joy in nature. Not so much he wouldn't have willingly destroyed it before for his goals, but...

Well, he was still questioning what his goals were, so why not embrace that joy a bit more? And it certainly felt like a real night sky, with a light breeze and everything. He looked around and sighed.

He walked further into the sensorium, quickly climbing up a tree and resting on a branch and for the first time since he actually arrived on the ship, he relaxed. What harm could letting his guard down for a little while in his own illusion could do him anyway?

< I believe that we may be close to breaking through to Stacy's bridge, > Ax said. < At which point, we may be able to send everyone home. > Or at least they would be after they took out whatever had locked itself in up there.

No offense to Shadow then, but Ax hoped that the rest of the time on this ship was incredibly unamusing.

"So, if you can break through to the bridge, and if you can figure out a way from there how to send them home. So it is just a think," Shadow Link commented, leaning against a tree.

< I am confident that once we have control of the ship, we will be able to figure out how to send everybody home, > Ax said. Between Dox and his counterpart, Allen, and all of the other brilliant people on board, he doubted that they'd have too much trouble once they were in control.

"Just controlling a vessel doesn't mean you can always go where you want," Shadow Link said with a shrug.

< No, but it's certainly better than not being in control, > Ax said. < Especially considering how very little control we have now. >

"Would the ship really let you get control?" Shadow link asked. "Doesn't it have things to stop u?"
