Only to have them live under her tyranny again? Only so they could suffer?

TG: back home?
TG: im not sure i did
TG: far as i can figure is something probs happened to john
TG: cuz so much shenanigans that will just be confusing to get into
TG: but with how things played out he probably didnt make it long
TG: or who knows
TG: mb reapers swept in after
TG: but w/e it was
TG: wasnt comin from me
TG: here?
TG:
TG: vetoed pointed out a few things
TG: a few
TG: very longshots
TG: that have been buyin time
TG: but not nuff to last long term
TG: on its own anyway
TG: everything here should help
TG: but i was hurtin
TG: member life roxy?
TG: thats bout norm roxy behavior
TG: all the high energy cheer
TG: so when we met i was supes down

But maybe...maybe SOMETHING can be done.

[She jerks back as if she was slapped.]

I...I would never-of course they existed!

[ Oh um.

Um???????????????

FUCK. ]

Hey-- hey! Over here!

[ Calling out to the Carapacian as he FLIES OVER toward them, as fast as he can to try and grab them or push them out of the way. ]

[It becomes very clear just straight up grab and go isn't gonna be enough to get you both away unscathed.]

Of course something can be done. But letting her win would hurt you just as much as abandoning them. You're too smart not to realize that. So shouldn't it be done on your own terms?

Defeat her first. Deal with the problems that are in front of you now. Then if you must help them, you can do it later. When it's safe. When there's time. You'll find a way.

CW: sounds like it would be
CW: maybe we can talk about it
CW: sometime
CW: it's good that life has gotten help
CW: and is less fragile
CW: even if we can't fix it all here
CW: there's time outside
CW: so
CW: how much have people been able to help
CW: here in rage
CW: do you know

[ Well.

He can use the wind to find the ways.

So with this sudden rush of adrenaline, he's going to try using the wind directly, channeling his power to send the biggest rush of it he can muster, straight up against the building to at least try to slow its fall for long enough, if he can't just push it out of the way entirely. ]

[good

but now we hug instead of facegrab, because although her aspect doesn't deal in bonds, she can at least provide this physical example of a connection]

That's right, they did. Just like you exist, and I exist. It's other people that validate our existence, and it's through those connections, those bonds.....You can still do that for them now, and in return they can still give you strength. So don't die. Don't go into the void to never leave it again. Live.

I know, I know you haven't really given up, or I wouldn't be here. Because you wouldn't be.....you'd already be gone.

[a squeeze]

You're the only one who can break those links. You have that power. And you haven't.

TG: itd do me some good
TG: should be a lil less of a pain bout it
TG: always kind of am but u got far nuff to avoid the worse
TG: sometimes its good to get help naturally
TG: shes good nuff to be fixed like that
TG: which is the most important thing
TG: more stuff in hope will help to
TG: sorta
TG: since were connected
TG: ppl have made good progress
TG: dealing with some old issues that have been festing
TG: and no longer a stones throw away from just walking into the void n never comin back

....

Not sure I can.

She's been controllin' the whole fuckin' game board.

CW: ...good
CW: i hope i didn't make it worse
CW: when talking to her earlier
CW: after that memory
CW: i wanted to talk to her more
CW: but then this happened

[That is indeed a thing you can do. Breath still gets some Breezey powers, after all.]

[It doesn't blow it out of the way completely, but it buys you enough time to get the Carapacian out.]

[Congrats, you are +1 flailing alien.]

[She's shaking her head violently, trying to pull away.]

Why does it have to be ME?! Why do...why do I always have to be the one looking, saving, standing, why does it always have to be me?!

Why....why do I...why can't I just be allowed to have them?!

TG: u didnt
TG: she
TG: needed a break
TG: of some kind
TG: she was turning norm coping mechanisms
TG: into outright lies
TG: which isnt something we want to do?
TG: misdirection and ommission is our jam
TG: but outright lies r rare
TG: heart is after hope
TG: she can send ya anywhere u want
TG: she wouldnt mind if u visited

Edited 2015-01-27 10:56 (UTC)

CW: i'll visit you too
CW: before i leave
CW: you helped me
CW: a lot
CW: you and knight light
CW: i might have kept drifting here
CW: but i want to continue on now

TG: ah
TG: well
TG: if u wanna sure
TG: heart can get here to
TG: just dun touch anythin
TG: still danger items
TG: all right
TG: good luck
TG: just take a step forward
TG: n youll be out in the neighborhood again

[ Fuck yeah CAPTAIN PLANETING THIS SHIT. ]

I've got'cha, don't worry.

[ Out he flies, then, hanging on hard to his new pal. He shoots fast glances around-- he's back out here again, still in Rage. Was Lucciola here too? He said he'd find him if he could, but now he has the Carapacian to deal with and bring to safety, so he has to focus on that, on where to go next, let his powers guide him... ]

CW: i'll be careful
CW: see you soon

[ with that, he sobers up his feelings, taking in a deep breath before stepping forward as instructed ]

[Well, the way forward is, indeed, the way forward. If he wants to go to Lucciola, he'd have to go back, but it may mean being pulled into another 'flashback.']

[Also the Carapacian is flailing and somehow the flailing is translating into words.]

"We must flee! It's not safe!"

TG: see you

[And suddenly you're back out on the streets again.]

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

[ THAT, he isn't prepared for, but he tries to snap back from that pretty fast, reminding himself destroying the building before, trying to do the same thing to this rocket and robot, but he's still spooked and might not have his full focus ]

[Got the rocket and the robot is now missing one arm.]

[It's pursuing!]

[ right. flying. flying is a thing he can do until he can catch himself. for all the shit he's seen in her heart already, he is still a newbie to all this. but he'll focus harder, narrowing those thoughts on taking out the rest of it. hopefully ]
