Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...those times.

They are....

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

They are?

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

They are...ha...happier....

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

... It's hard to feel like that's enough during the bad times. But it's also what keeps us really alive. And not just existing.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...I suppose that's true.

[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.]

[Just running and diving may not be quick enough to save it unscathed.]

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

[ He's disoriented as hell but hey he can also fly and dive! ]

Watch out!

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Anything else, or just the flying?]

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

[ I guess there can be heir things as in trying to transfer his protection via blood onto the Carapacian. Since there's probably some connection between this figure and Roxy, which means he has a duty to them as well. And you know, if there's any actual blood around during all this carnage. ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[There is quite a lot of blood in this carnage.]

[...so you may now have blood support beam holding up the building that was about to crush you, because that's not creepy.]

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

[ Yes, that's not creepy at all.

But that's also kind of cool. We can marvel later though, there's saving to do! ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[You have saved a Carapacian and didn't get crushed!]

[It is flailing in your arms.]

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

Hey hey, calm down. You're safe right now. We just need to find a way out of this mess.

[ Which means flying around to look for some refuge ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[So.]

[It's at this point the whole being shit at tones and really good at body language will make sense. Because the Carapacian doesn't speak, but you get MEANING from those flails.]

"There is no safety! We are all going to die, everything is burning down!"

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

I'm not going to let you die. I know a place.

[ He's going to try heading back for the lab then. ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[He seems SO GRATEFUL when you say that. You now have one obedient follower.]

[Roll another ten sider, don't repeat the number.]

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

[ Aww, he's like Nitori only less adorable.

Also, I got a 6. ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Excuse u, Carapacians total adorable when they're not trying to eat you. Though your minion won't be joining you for this part.]

[You're in jail. With some dog girl in a Space outfit.]

[Have a chat about how you can fuck the laws of physics.]

[But you don't say anything about that burning bitterness in your soul. As it because obvious what you CAN do, the moral question is still in your head. The threat of repeated death is unpleasant, but you can ignore that, push it away, and instead be concerned with the moral question.]

[Do you save the race to have them be enslaved? Or do you let a race die?]

[And you try, try so hard to ignore the feeling eating at you.]

[Suddenly, you are Sakura again, and you are in the cell.]

[And there is Roxy, pacing, glaring at the folder occasionally, sometimes making a green cube, and throwing it away, and she's growling and angry.]

That fucking BITCH! She killed my race and she's trying to guilt me into savin' HERS!

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

[ My friend...

He blinks at seeing Roxy this angry. ]

Who is she?

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

That fucking BATTERBITCH!

[Pause and she's giving him a pretty dirty look.] And who even the fuck are you? 'Cause I swear to gog if I have to deal with more threats from another mind controlled motherfucker...

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

[ He holds up his hands. ]

Whoa! I'm on your side, okay? I'm not here to fuck with your head. I'm here because someone said you needed a friend.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....a friend.

And who said this, strange person who looks like neither Strider nor Crocks.

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

Someone contacted me on the chat. The pesterlog. They told me what happened with the Red Miles. And something about a universe inside a frog.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

What.

Calliope?

Re: RAGE

[showyouthesight]

Yeah, that sounds right. And you're right. It is bullshit for her to ask that of you. You're right to be pissed after what she did.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Well, she's been derailed.]

You know Calliope?

Is she all right?!
