a winter labyrinth

[townmusician]

断ち切るしかないんだろ
注いだ冬は心のラビリンス
後戻りなんて出来ないから
やりきるしかないんだろ
黒い気持ちと手を繋いだって構わない
抱きしめたっていいh

I have to break free
This pouring winter is my heart's labyrinth
I can't go back anymore, so
I have to finish this
I don't care if you took my hand with dark motives
I want you to hold me close

Alright... I've never done this before, but it can't be that bad.

[ And he will actually perform decently! He's going to stretch like Shalem is and follow all that advice. Let's go team let's go!! ]

[prozaic]

[Oh Yoon, don't try to do what a pro is doing--]

For you, your warm-ups should be less rigorous. You have never performed on stage before, correct?

[strawsandals]

No, I haven't.

[ He puts his hands on his hips. ]

Alright! Show me what I should be doing?

[prozaic]

Start simple to avoid injuring yourself. First your neck, then your arms, like so. [Which he'll demonstrate by tilting his neck left and then right, the back, holding the position each time, before flexing his shoulders with his arms pointing straight down.]

The point of a warm up is to prepare your body for movement that would push it to its current limits.

It just so happens that my limits are different from yours. [Hence why he twists himself around.]

[idealitas]

[ Stretching he can do, just barely. He just dreads the next part looming over them. ]

...

[prozaic]

If your body breaks on stage, you can heal yourself, yes?

[idealitas]

...I can, if it's necessary to proceed.

[ He didn't go through an earlier kind of hell with Avrae, so... ]

[prozaic]

If a proper performance is necessary to proceed, can you do it?

[idealitas]

I don't believe whether I can or not will matter, given how palaces operate.

[ Rolled a (5) for this when the mechanics dropped, the dice understand and laugh. ]

[prozaic]

Then tthere's no point in stretching, if you think you're already headed to tragedy.

[He's really just tired of seeing Yi Sang do things so half-heartedly. Your form is shit, your warm ups are shit. What's the point if you don't want to do it.]

cw: death

[idealitas]

[ The sad part is that he is trying... He's just that bad at it. Lav voice: skill issue. ]

I'm speaking from the perspective of what I expect by now. I'll try these things because it means something if it exists here in someone's psyche.

I've been burnt to ash, cut into pieces, crushed... But it is different here. I'll be fine in the end, that is all.

[ Okay, his life is skill issue incarnate. Shalem is tired, but Yi Sang is annoyed for once. ]

[prozaic]

Death is not a dance in this context. You're fine with dying, yes, I understand. I have died over and over in my time, and am hurtling towards a final one.

But what does that have to do with you not putting in effort for a performance?

Nevermind, don't answer that. You think about it for yourself. [Then he goes off to follow the shadow.]
