Yes, I am Nix, Denizen of this World. I am here to offer you The Choice if you wish to help this World.

...it's hard...

From:

lucciola

I wish to help. What is the choice?

[ Well, at least the last horrific scene kind of prepared him for this one so even though he can fill the bile rising in his throat, he can somewhat stomach it and focus on what he has to do, his gaze going far too bright with determined desperation, as he tries to approach her. At the same time, he starts targeting those blood bindings that ensnare, trying to infuse them with his own promises, his own hopes for her, concentrating on breaking them down, on morphing them into something less vicious, a necklace, a bracelet, a lasting reminder that he will find a way to never really leave her. ]

Roxy... it doesn't have to be like this.

From:

fairhands

But you've been happy with them, yes?

From:

forthemackerel

[ hesitates ]

I'll try to come back here before I leave. Otherwise, I'll see you when I'm out of here, either way.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

I'm done. All I wanted was them for sixteen years, and they're all gone now. [She keeps on smiling emptily, holding out the glass.] But I can't get through the bindings. I'm not even allowed that.

[The blood is resisting. It's strong, bad blood, but the color is flickering, away from the bad blood to something more bright, alive. There is TRACTION to be had, changes that can be made.]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...yes...

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Nods.] I know.

[She reaches over and squeezes his hand again.]

Good luck.

From:

showyouthesight

They're not meant to be chains, Roxy. They're meant to be strength. It's what they left you with. I know it hurts. I felt it too. Every moment. So... I know why you want it to end. But... you've only really lost them if you forget that, if you use their feelings against yourself. You've made it this far because of those bonds, right?

[ He tries to approach so he can reach that glass. ]

From:

fairhands

Then hold onto that happiness. There must be a reason why they love you, even if you can't see it.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[More flashes in the clotted blood.]

[And the Tiamat blood pulses, those bands spreading a bit more.]

[She doesn't keep him from pulling away the glass. After all, she was offering it.]

[Tears prick at the corner of her eyes.] I could only make it this far because of them. They're my everything Sakura, and they're gone. Even their corpses.

It hurts to exist knowing they're not in my future.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...maybe there is.

[And suddenly you're back in the Neighborhood with all the fire, on the street now.]

[There's a building collapsing near you, and an injured Carapacian is trying to get out of the way of it.]

From:

showyouthesight

[ He is going to just hold onto that piece. ]

But aren't you still shaping your future? With all the crazy breaking of the laws of physics in your world, is everything really set in stone?

They're not gone, Roxy. They're still protecting you, even now.

From:

forthemackerel

[ squeezes gently back ]

Mm. I'll try.

[ and with that, he is off back to Blood to attempt to get to Doom ]

From:

fairhands

[WHY THIS

He's going to dive for the Carapacian and throw up a shield to protect both of them. PROTECT US SPACE.]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Tiamat pulses and the smile falters into a grimace.]

I'm the one who was supposed to protect them. That's my role, but I failed.

How am I supposed to believe I'll be any better at revivin' 'em when it'll be outside the rules?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Welcome to Derse. You stand on a bridge, to one side is a tower, where you just came from. The bridge continues on to what appears to be a palace. Of course, now that you’re godtier, you could just fly wherever you want.]

[Which just appears to be an option. Should you look to the sky above you, you can spot what look to be three planets. One, the farthest, is a bright light, but also...has the feeling of something dormant? The closest one is bright and colorful, almost like those electric orbs you can touch to get the electricity to follow you. If you even know what those are with the whole time losing meaning bit. The third planet is almost normal, with water and plant life everywhere and some clouds.]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Space alters, changes and....the wall that would have hit you turned out to be a broken open window. (It wasn't a broken open window a second again.)]

[Because the heart needed more looney toons.]

[You are not +1 flailing Carapacian.]

From:

showyouthesight

Because you want it bad enough, don't you? Isn't that how your powers work? They tap into what you really need? If you want something bad enough, you find a way. You take it. You're a Rouge of the Void. Rules don't have to control you. Trust in your own strength and the faith they put in you.

[ He tosses the shard to the side and instead grabs her hand tightly. ]

You haven't failed them unless you give up hope now. And I won't allow that. Because I believe in you.

From:

forthemackerel

[ looking around slowly, trying to see if he can spot the Roxy before, since he never did get directions to where he should go at this point. he's still worried about other Roxy, but clutching his pumpkin soup close ]
