Work Text:
It still hasn’t woken yet and I cannot help but feel strain.
We took it in immediately after the fight, it should have woken by now. Do you think its body is exhausted?
I Saw the player carry an entire buildings worth of stone, Two I do not think it has physical limitation of this kind. Perhaps the player Saw no reason to reside amongst us.
Do you still call it player? It has been given Sight to be one of us. It should awake as to teach it the ways to Watch and See. Three cannot keep avoiding its lesson for much longer.
I was keep Watch over it and Three kept talking about the players it used to spent time with. The other players from where it had come to us. I cannot tell if it is Watching them or if there is another way for its mind to picture the players to Observe.
As Three has recently become perhaps some things of its player identity still remain true and these are the “dreams” and “nightmares” other players have talked about. From what I have Seen these are imaginary Visions of events that occur separate from the world a player lays to rest. A “dream” appears to be the term that is used for everything however most often used to mean if a player had a pleasant night and joyful Visions. A “nightmare” is something that players speak of when talking about bad Visions.
The players have Visions too?
I do not know One. If they do it is into a world that is nonsensical and without basis.
Do you think Three is experiencing a “dream”?
Comparing its behaviour to my previous Observations of resting players I think it might be the case. But as it has joined our ranks it shouldn’t be able to sleep at all.
Three has proven to be different from what our expectations had been truly. I have been plagued by a worry about that it might never join to Watch.
You are talking nonsense One. Three knows that its position between us is something that is special and makes it above a player. It has ascended to join our ranks and I hold no doubts that as time passes it will do so. Three will See when the most appropriate moment will be, I am sure of it.
What did you do? What did you do to me? What did you do to the rest of them?
As you will, that moment would appear to be right now.
You have ascended to join our ranks, Three. You appear to be “crying”? I was not aware that We could “cry”. There is no reason to be upset, we have done everything in our power to make sure that you could join us and Watch.
Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Pai-
That is enough Three. You have left the dwellings of players behind.
Pain. Pain. Pain.
I am delighted to learn more about this. I have never felt this “pain” you are speaking of, Three. I would be elated to learn more about it, do you think that you could tell us more about it?
Pain. Pain. Pain.
Perhaps the traces of your being as a player that allows for you to “dream” as One had called it.
Where are my eyes? Where are my eyes? Where are my eyes? Pain. Nothing there. Nothing there. Nothing there.
The Eyes that you possessed before are not needed anymore. You have been given Sight, Three. What a player calls “Eyes” is nothing but a perversion of what it means to Watch.
Hurts. Pain. Hurts. Hurts. Can’t feel my eyes. Blood. Blood. I can See it trickle down my face. My face where my eyes are gone. My eyes are gone. My eyes are gone.
Three. That is enough.
My eyes are gone.
One is right, Three. As well you appear to be slowly learning Sight. As you were just able to See yourself.
Three. You should be Watching like Two and I are right now. You are one of us now.
What did you do to me.
