[closes his eyes for a moment, gently removing the glass shard from her hand]

[then he opens them and indicates the Tiamat bands]

. . . these are from Ed-- Vetoed-- aren't they?

[he looks up, frowning]

What do you mean?

[ ...Oh.

So that's what you meant by girlfriend. He's giving you a hug again Roxy. ]

She sounds wonderful.

He grabbed yours. [Gestures at the team colors.]

It's perhaps the most morbid as fuck way for you two to be cute.

[just. going to shake his head]

Why is there two?

[The smile cracks and she looks MAD.]

That...goddamn ASSHOLE. We could...we could have just LEFT, but he-

[Holds up one finger.] Cry Wolf. [Holds up a second finger.] Time I murdered Otacon.

[YEAH.]

[She...doesn't respond.]

She was. Is. Needs to be is.

Gave you something worthwhile to hold onto?

[it's the way he'd put it, anyway]

What did he say?

[ .... frogs.......

But he takes that in, considering the destruction happening around him. Flying fast and low, if only to get a better look at the forms on the ground. Not that he expects any of them to be alive, but ...

Rolled a 8! ]

[She laughs, bitter, empty.]

What didn't he say?

Makin' me realize if I'm in a Dommed Timeline, I still have to fix the universe because Doomed Timeline is still in the same goddamn universe as the Alpha Timeline where they'd SURVIVE. [Gestures to the bodies.]

Or trying to get me to hope I won't know the one bit of info that might make it possible to save 'em if I change it at the end of this bullshit.

[Homestuck is fucking weird.]

[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.]

...

I see.

[he gets to his feet, shakily]

These are memories...? You and others dying here, in games or... from your world?

[Shrugs.] Some are.

[... looks around and then goes for Ometotchtli's colours... because]

[ Ew I hope there are no smelly Ulriches around in the heartcove.

But he approaches the Roxy, when he gets all of those feelings. Some of them all too familiar to him. ]

Hey.

[doomed timelines?? alpha timelines?? wtf homestuck. nevertheless, even if he doesn't know the terminology, he understands the sentiment. he pushes on]

You haven't observed the entire box yet, have you?

[taps his temple]

You've still got memories to win back. Things to learn. When you open the box, the cat could very much be alive.

[tilts his head up, thoughtful]

And even if it isn't, you're-- here. Right?

You can save them.

[Suddenly you feel constricted, thorns digging into your body. Red vines that are painfully ripping your life out of you, bleeding you out, tearing your flesh, until finally...you die.]

[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.]

[I just learned bout Ulrich, that hasn't made an impact yet.]

[Glances up and she just....looks so tired and defeated.] ....sup.

[Turns back to her book.]

[. . . . . well then. it takes him less time to recover from that but he just frowns]

Are they all the same?

[ Oh. :(

Sitting down next to her, staring out into the void. ]

What are you writing about?

[Oh, that just seems to make her more mad.]

Save 'em? I know the fucking game rules. I know the ways of revival.

All I got is the supposed ability to alter what I dun know to get the one trinket that might do it and have Jane's corpse where I need it so SHE can fix it.

And that's only if what Queen says is the TRUTH.

[staaaaying quiet, even as she gets mad]

. . . who says you have to play by the game rules to bring them back?

Ideas. Just....trying to organize ideas.

No.
