Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[From here]

[She nods.] That's correct. Too much light can be dangerous, it can blind you to the people around you, and you become self centered and self important to the extreme, so it's better to have it tempered.

But fully embracing the void is embracing irrelevancy, nothingness, lack, submission. Like being a pair of shoes.

[ glances around for a moment, then looks over at her when he hears her voice ]

There's been a lot to do.

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

True, true.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She hugs back tightly, and the oppressive atmosphere has lessened greatly.]

[And suddenly you're back out on the streets again, with your new Carapacian friend.]

[You also have twelve foot tall robot firing a rocket at you.]

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It's not my job to explain.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Her hand goes to her leg instinctively and she hides behind the cans more.]

[carptricks]

[wHAT THE FUCK WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING]

Hang on--!

[grabs a hold of his Carapacian friend and focuses on making them both intangible while they run from that robot TYVM]

TG: oh god
TG: aright
TG: youve been doin the mindy thing
TG: what is doom

Re: DOOM

[forthemackerel]

[ tightens his grip a little on the soup ]

How many people have been here already? I know Sakura arrived before me.

[ slowly approaching her ]

Re: RAGE

[bloodbiter]

Is your leg hurt? I can find someone to try and help you.

Re: tipsyGnostalgic

[fuhrinkaed]

DW: Doom is acceptance of the inevitable and generally the opposite of life.
DW: You move within your constraints and the laws you have and are bound by things, rather than being free to express them like with life.

Re: DOOM

[pawper]

[She winces, hard, but nods without looking away.]

I understand. It's about balance, like you said. And it's.....not something that can be achieved once, and cast in stone. We have to evolve with our world, have to adapt, to keep the scales from tipping too far in either direction.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

Nah, I suppose it's not.

[Okay then. Let's touch the purple scarf.]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Flashes. Faces, people.]

[Zelos, so frustrating, you know you've missed so much, but you're trying to understand, there has to be a way you can understand him, give him what he needs, and in a way that would stop breaking him in the process.]

[Sapphire, who you know is hurting, but she learned the truth, and she won't tell you, says you've been through enough.]

[Otacon who always looks down on himself and it seems like you can never get through those barriers.]

[Technic who you've realized shares so many of the same feelings you do, but he never listens, never let's himself be helped, and you've seen where that goes, but it's like Zelos, you can't reach out in a way that will let him reach back.]

[Hydra and Sparrow and you're afraid to tell them the truth, afraid that they'll do what Sapphire did, treat you like glass when that's not what you want, never what you want, and it's more important than anything else that they don't. You can't take the idea of someone so important looking at you with eyes like those.]

[Over and over, people you can't quite reach out in the way they need, and people pull back when you open up, and it's not what you want it's not what you want it's not what you want]

[You're by the Cove, at the edge of Kyriakos.]

[And there's Roxy, sitting at the edge of the void, staring at a book, tapping the page with her pen.]

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

That's right.

And there's an important thing to remember about gettin' that balance as well.

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[You feel it in your chest. The middle prong of the trident buried near your lungs and heart. Enough to have done fatal damage, but not enough damage to make the death quick.]

[You're slow to bleed out, but you do.]

[Tick.]

[Heroic]

[Tock.]

[Just]

[BONG]

[You feel your body break down again, as it did for godtier, pulling, pulling everything back, until you snap back, whole, in the air. Completely fine.]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Was flashbacks are harsh things.]

[YOU ARE INTANGIBLE. It is, surprisingly, EASIER to intangible with your alien friend. Funny how that works.]

[Robot is pursuing!]

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Several. [Shrugs.]

[Does he watch where he steps?]

Re: DOOM

[pawper]

I can think of two important things. But, I don't know if they're what you're thinking of.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She shakes her head.]

[She's fine. She can take care of herself, she doesn't need to be a bur-she doesn't need help.]

Re: tipsyGnostalgic

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

TG: exactly
TG: so does uncertainty fit into that

[carptricks]

[well, rogue is all about helping others!1]

[he's running pretty fast, so he's practically carrying the alien friend in his arms as he goes. he also tilts his head up a bit, trying to see if he can sense the lab as he goes, gauging how far away from it he is now]

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Shrugs.] It doesn't hurt to say them.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

[...]

[...man this whole room is death and other people's death and pain and other people's pain and the occasional wish of pain on others for other people's pain.]

[yep. seems pretty solidly the opposite of light.]

[I just had the best idea. Let's touch Roxy.]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[You are two thirds of the way there.]

[When you were only a third of the way there before.]

[You might guess what's coming up next.]

[But first the robot, do you do anything else besides run?]
