I feel better, after seeing Life again.

[She takes his hand and link their fingers together.]

I'm sorry.

[Somber, sympathetically.]

She's doing a lot better.

[A fake smile, too easy to read. All reaction, no substance. But he squeezes her hand in return as that expression falls.]

Can't bring it back. That won't change.

So.... the best I can do is remember it for what it was, you know?

It seems like it. Seeing her honest smile this time.

Yes. She's more solid. So it's easier for her to find it. Especially with people helping.

[She nods.]

That's good. It deserves to be remembered. It'll always live on somehow like that.

[well, shiz. THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF ALGORITHM BEHIND HOW ITS FIRED OR SOMETHING...]

[turning the mindypowers to that while continuing to run and fire the occasional burst laser to remotely detonate them as needed to not get horribly overwhelmed.]

Did understanding you help her stability?

[ since... counterbalances and all ]

. . . Same.

Yes.

She was trying to hold back a tidal wave through pure force. People understanding it, letting her share what she was holding back, made it easier for her to just divert and weather through it. There'll still be some problems, but she can deal with them without having everything break down.

[Why yes, yes there is. The bitch is it's an adaptable one so it's good you're firing at the ones that mean the numbers changed.]

[Still gonna have some shrapnel and debris coming your way, but at least it's not fatal.]

[Roll another ten sider.]

And as I told her, even if the glass cracks, it can be repaired again.

[ with fraaaaandship ]

[I got a 4.]

[Well that's one :) But he should deal with the others. It'd be bad to lead them to the lab, after all...

Hmm...

...Well, let's see. A Knight exploits what he's got of his aspect. Namely, Light. And while we could go more metaphorical... well, laser beams have been working too.

...If he was to slash his sword at the robots, might that he be able to exploit the light around him to focus it on the blade and make a beam slash a la Legend of Zelda?]

Yes, it can. It just takes some work, but it's far more possible now.

[Not like her heart couldn't allow for Video Game references.]

[Who knows, there might even be music.]

[Roll a twelve sider.]

[Or a seven with a reroll.]

[And suddenly you're in a room made of mirrors.]

[Which makes the scene before you more horrifying.]

[You see Nyssa, broken into pieces of glass and rose metal, Yaksinis half burnt, and three aliens, dead, bled out, on the ground.]

[And there's Roxy, with a piece of glass in her hand, and seems intent on that whole desire to make sure every drop of the Condesce blood in out of her body.]

You're worth it.

[ the work, that is ]

You're gonna make a girl blush with words like that.

[Eee, Oracles~

and 6!]

[Oh look, things are different.]

[Because you're in jail. With some dog girl in a Space outfit.]

[Have a chat about how you can fuck the laws of physics.]

[But you don't say anything about that burning bitterness in your soul. As it because obvious what you CAN do, the moral question is still in your head. The threat of repeated death is unpleasant, but you can ignore that, push it away, and instead be concerned with the moral question.]

[Do you save the race to have them be enslaved? Or do you let a race die?]

[And you try, try so hard to ignore the feeling eating at you.]

[Suddenly, you are Sol again, and you are in the cell.]

[And there is Roxy, pacing, glaring at the folder occasionally, sometimes making a green cube, and throwing it away, and she's growling and angry.]

That fucking BITCH! She killed my race and she's trying to guilt me into savin' HERS!

[ glances aside, that makes him a bit self-conscious ]

It's true.

I know. Just teasing.

I'm afraid you'll have to deal with that a lot.

I'm an incredible tease when I'm happy.

. . .

[ sighs ]

I seem to be attracting that type.

[ or at least very outgoing people who seem to like to pester me ]
