[Discuss, theorize, gear up, dive in, limp out, lick wounds, rinse repeat.
One way or another, this eventually ends. In one shape or another, they eventually leave. Erika's shape is "moderately sleep-deprived". It doesn't help with the crazy-making. Wonderland is, conceptually if not physically, the station returned, like a nasty bloom of fruiting mold.
Good taste in hangout spots, Kaede Ver 2.0.
Up she goes. It's almost easy now, physically. She feels light. She feels empty of words. Erika ascends, scans, locates, moves. Hovers. Deliberates.
(She gets onto the roof and just kind of stands there for a moment, and certainly Erika is always weird and frequently staring but there are many flavors of weird and staring. This one is "kind of zoned-out, but trying anyways". Then she picks her way over to Kaede and zones out a bit more.)
Settles.
(Sits down hard, zones out for another few seconds but in a focused hang-on-I'm-thinking way, then flops over onto Kaede's shoulder, clumsy but deliberate. It's practically a headbutt. Probably hurts like one.)]
