Rating: PG

For Heat, things seemed to be going at an awkward pace.

People were running about, writing in their strange pieces of paper that could communicate with one another, while they attempted to design a facsimile of the character they wished to be for the night. However, some parts of the castle appeared unchanged by the din and the general excitement in the air, and it was through one of these hallways he walked, a nonchalant look on his face. His head twitched to the side, as if he had heard something, but he continued walking.

How boring.

Delirium paused when she heard the catch in his voice. She turned around to look a Fire-Hair, and tilted her head to the side in confusion.

"...Is he upset about seeing the rainbows?" She watched him sadly, biting her lip before saying "He can touch Del's hair... Or... does he want to see real? Del will make them real instead of just walls." She swung around again, hair waving around her head and started tugging more forcefully in a different direction.

"Outside is better! It'll be like the beanstalk silly little Peter grew~" She grinned at the male behind her as she tugged him along. "Don't be sad, he should enjoy them while they're here."

"You can make... rainbows?" he asked, looking completely baffled, before coughing and setting his face into its normal glare. Instead of saying, 'okay,' he simply allowed her to drag him along, as he watched her bouncing hair shift and sway into brilliant patterns his world had never seen.

Maybe this is what being reincarnated feels like, he thought idly, padding along beside her, his eyes shifting this way and that - a nervous habit he seemed to have picked up from the Junkyard.

Delirium grinned when she finally managed to dig her way out of the castle, it kept changing on her, really! There was a missing wall and added hallways and... well... maybe there were...

She released his hand and chewed on a nail, wondering where to begin. She giggled happily when she figured it would be best to just start and see what happens.

Del started to dance, singing the song she had heard from a visiting child once. "It's raining, it's pouring! The old man is snoring~" and as simple as that she clapped her hands together and made her rainbow between them. Flinging her hands away from her body, she sent the strands of colour into the air to preform a dance of their own.

Something brilliantly colourful flashed before his eyes, not unlike the girl's hair, but the instant he directed his eyes at it, it was gone, like some strange illusion.

There was an awkward sinking feeling in his stomach as he watched her throw her hands out into nothingness, but he couldn't discount the fact that he, indeed, saw something. Or did he? Scratching his head, he frowned a bit, listening to her singing.

"Wasn't that a bit... small?" he asked, his hand still in his hair, motioning towards the wall. He wanted to believe that she was insane, but truly, he felt it was he that was going nuts. However, nothing was out of the limits of possibility for him. She still hadn't seen - and he hoped that she would never see - Agni.

"Ah...?" Del was confused, she looked back up into the air and watched the rainbow she had made dancing in and out of itself. Maybe it was too light...?

"...Maybe..." Shrugging she did it again, except this time she waved her hand in the air. The rainbow trailed after where her hand had been, following the path before breaking off again.

"Does it show through the rain and make the day seem brighter...?"

Okay, now this time he definitely saw something.

Though there was no rain to speak of outside, faintly he heard its dull pitter-patter against his eardrums, and he turned about, watching her hands again.

Heat wished he could agree with her, to say 'yes,' but he was already vaguely aware of an illusion that seemed to be creeping up into his mind - a harmless one, but none the less an infinitesimal untruth. It was always raining... and they had never saw these?

Lightly, he picked up a strand of Del's hair, watching it change as he glared at it, quite seriously.

Delirium watched him carefully as her hair curled lightly in some nonexistent wind. He was stating so closely, was it that interesting? Del watched her hair too, wondering if maybe the mouse had stolen the plate after all.

It was odd, even though his head felt light, he couldn't begin to understand why...

"Flowers." He interrupted his own thought as he pulled out some dried-up lavender out of one of the pockets in his uniform, holding it up for her to see. "So, in your world, they have these, too?"

Del smiled and hopped up onto air as the flower went from seedling to first frost and back around.

"They're there and not everywhere. Tell stories about people, learn about stories listening to what they say. Hide away themselves in sunlight. Peak through the cracks in nothing and create the holes in ground. They sing~" Delirium giggled. It was everywhere when they ran away together.

Before he had seen a rainbow, but now he seemed to catch a glimpse of a flower unfolding in his mind, and he glanced furtively about, as if someone was invading his own thoughts.

"They sing?" he asked, though he found it hard to believe. He remembered one person singing... well, someone singing. Or perhaps it was simply nothing at all.

"Like the wind on an empty day. Whisper whisper whisper." Deliriums attention drifted away from the flower towards flying homes and puppy dog tails. They taste sour and rank and sometimes people cried about their existence when the swirly place ate them up all for dinner.

"Little boys can be naughty... Did he ever make the puppy dog tails work?"

This sparked a rather queer smirk from him, as he recalled a certain someone, with silver hair and brilliantly blue eyes - he seemed to almost envision him in front of him, as if there were some kind of holographic projector in his mind.

"Dunno. Never thought to ask him," he mumbled, looking upwards.

Delirium swirled her finger around a cloud and watched it go into technicolor then shape itself into a person and a circus bear. They danced around to music that didn't match and hummed together.

Grabbing Fire-Hair's hands and sway lightly, moving toward the forest slightly while her mind kept drifting around. Open up the door and let them through the well, it isn't kind to keep them all stuck in a wardrobe, how mean mean mean...

He narrowed his eyes, watching her for a moment as he saw a figure dance before his eyes, lithe and bright, before he looked away, coughing. He seemed to have lost control of something, but the thought of the figure had grounded him, set him back to earth, as he watched the girl spin about, holding his hand.

Somehow, it simply seemed surreal that she should engender something like this to play over in his mind - he jerked his hand away, and for a moment, he felt a connection lost... or something like that.

He grumbled something to the girl, fully aware that his parting statement probably made no sense, as he walked down the rest of the hallway, holding his head.

I forgot, some people think of Del abilities as her making others go with her insanity. Since she can't do anything to other characters here, then you can have him not actually see anything if you want. If that happens, she'll just drag him inside and make him look at the oil covered walls Pollution did for her. (If that's okay...)

[If there's one thing Heat would really believe in, it's something he's probably never seen before. ;) He's one of the characters that loses faith fast in the game, and eventually turns against everyone because of what he lost. So, he might think he saw something, but in reality, he didn't... :3]

Ah, wonders. Characters believing Del's insanity~

Also: going with parents on a trip 'round Japan, so I'll be absent for two weeks. :3

Have fun~

And, I don't know what to write. Do we have any idea where we're going with this...?

Mmm... yeah, it looks like the end of the RP. I'll just finish it up.

Awesome. It was lots of fun playing~

Yeah, with you too. ^^
