sooo what kind of powers do you guys have? were you born with them or get them in some freak incident or what?

[He pauses as he types out the text, considering if he should be honest about his intentions or not. It's not like he had any sinister plans or anything. It's just a matter of being private. But he doesn't want to sound too weird or shady. This sounds shady doesn't it??

He types and deletes a bunch of times, unhappy with most of the reasons he tries to give for asking the question. This one makes him sound too weak, this one makes him sound too ignorant, this one just makes him sound stupid. Eventually he settles for...well, nothing. He just gives up and hits send.]

your making it sound like I just stood there and let him kill me. i'm not a dumbass. so don't treat me like one.

[imanapexpredator]

you made me sound weak

i guess we're even

[heart_breaking]

are you saying I was a weakling to die like that?

[imanapexpredator]

weaker than whoever it was that killed you.

the stronger live and the weaker die. that's just how it is.

[heart_breaking]

now you're the complete dumbass

I killed him a few days later, and I can do it again any time I want

LOVE determines strength, not whatever shit you think you have

you probably don't even know what LOVE means

[imanapexpredator]

why are you getting so upset if you got him back then??

[NO NEED TO GET DEFENSIVE said the over defensive teen.

He's going to take a deep breath and ignore the name calling this time.]

love has nothing to do with it. how does that even make sense?

[heart_breaking]

oh my god you're so stupid

not 'love', 'LOVE'

its an acronim

[imanapexpredator]

[Well there goes the "this time" pass. Text can't properly convey how angry this conversation is making him right now.]

we dont come from the same place you idiot. it doesn't mean the same thing to me

now seriously. stop.

[heart_breaking]

stop what? telling you how brainless youd have to be for assuming death means anything in a place like this? your a moron, I hope you know that by now

[imanapexpredator]

it does. it means you were weaker. whether you come back or not doesn't change that. it's never going to change that.

but you're probably too weak to understand that, aren't you?

[heart_breaking]

you have no idea what your talking about

you think you're so strong, but you wouldn't last a minute against anything actually dangerous, and even if you died once you'd just cry and stay down and never get back up again

your weaker than I EVER was

[imanapexpredator]

you're the one who doesn't know what you're talking about

i could literally kill you without lifting a finger.

[heart_breaking]

oh yeah? Then why aren't you doing it right now?

[imanapexpredator]

tell me where you are

tell me where you are and i'll show you.

[He has to. He can't let anyone think he's weak. Anyone.]

the gardens.

[There's no response because right now Andrew is exiting his room and flying through the halls with reckless abandon and to the gardens.

Yeah he's not wasting any time.]

[They wait a couple of minutes, and when they realize he might not answer they add:]

btw, I leid. I really have plant powers. :)

[Then,]

are you already going? hello?

[They'll figure it out eventually.]

[Meanwhile, Steven is minding his own business in the gardens, curled up on the ground like a cat and sleeping next to some particularly vibrant looking flowers. The nymph is presumably around a similar age to Chara, but he is definitely not Chara. However, he is in the gardens, which is apparently all it takes at the moment.

He sits up and stretches, getting ready to shift positions. A few tiny garden kittens nap nearby.]

[Andrew hears the MID go off and doesn't bother to answer, though he does glance at the message and further seethes with anger. It's boiling in his blood and he's seeing red by the time he gets to the garden.

He lands with a loud thump, a couple of hairline cracks forming in the ground around his feet. It takes him a moment of frantic looking around to spot the kid sleeping in the garden. Now, if not for Chara's message about having plant powers Andrew might have realized this wasn't who he was looking for. But seeing the plant-like figure only makes him think he found the right one and as a result he proceeds to further be blinded by rage.

Various rocks from the garden start to rise in the air as Andrew floats over the boy, breathing heavy like a bull ready to charge its target. How dare he be fucking sleeping.]

Wake up!
