Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

[He stands up, rubbing his mouth with a hand.]

[Let's see what changes we have wrought, then.]

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[There are]

[No changes.]

[Just Doom Roxy, waiting.]

Have you figured it out yet?

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

Maybe.

[Let me do the THINKY THING.]

[AND THINK WITH FULL POWERS.]

[Roxy is a person who keeps dying and coming back. So she doesn't have a problem dying... but she's tired of continuing to come back. But that would imply she's fighting it... which isn't doom. But since it's Roxy it can't be that simple... She's accepting both that she's going to die and that her deaths aren't going to be existent... but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to die??]

[god it is hard to figure this out when it doesn't actually bother you all that much.]

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Oh honey.]

You may want to try a new angle.

[Heading over to the throne.]

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

...I've already figured out the key is accepting something that seems unpleasant. I just need to figure out which thing to see how hard it'll be.

[But. Well. I guess we can try touching the throne.]

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Nothing happens.]

Throne doesn't have anythin'.

Find the common factor, logic boy. Why it's important.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

[He rubs his temples.]

Well... those remind me of the games here. And that last one... Haunt's game. So the others were the ones from before then.

Deaths that you can take on to save other people and teams..?

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Gettin' too specific, and too altruistic.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

...You want to die?

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Part of me does, but that's the Rage bit trying to infect Hope mostly.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

...Hm.

You die. And everyone around you dies. And it all breaks down and there's not really anything you can do about it a lot of the time?

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

That's correct.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

...Is that seriously all I have to accept?

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Why do you think it's important to accept?

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

...life fears death. But I think that death gives life meaning.

If everyone was immortal, no one would be in any rush to do anything. It's because we're finite that we work so hard towards a goal, a lot of the time.

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Wrong. Too altruistic.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

You asked what I thought, though...

Because it's unavoidable, then?

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Raises an eyebrow.]

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

...Right. Immortal.

Then probably because it keeps happening.

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Hmmm, that it does.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

Okay, this feels like it's the part where I say 'well there you go then' and you point out that I'm missing something.

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Didn't Knight Light tell you?

The heart is a self centered place.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

[...aha. Maybe...]

Because it means that in the end you're always going to be alone?

Re: DOOM

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

That's a possible conclusion. Step too far hon.

Re: DOOM

[fuhrinkaed]

Then... because it hurts you.
