thevoidsdarkhorse | Heart Game (Continued)

[...Roxy the more he learns about your world the less it makes any sense

but the frog thing is less of a concern now than the red stringy things

(the fire is even less of a concern than that, at least to him, and in fact he might fly through some while flying toward the direction the lab is in just to prove that it's not about to hurt him but)

...also idk how but a 12 was rolled so]

[That's because it doesn't.]

[You fly and fly and fly through the fire and get a lighty ping.]

[Fast travel to avoid some bullshit, Y/N?]

[Sure why not.]

[Buildings just fly fast as you fly/run forward towards the lab.]

[And suddenly, you see it.]

[There's a building collapsing near you, and an injured Carapacian is trying to get out of the way of it.]

[It seems unlikely you'll be able to save them unscathed simply grabbing and running/flying.]

Watch out!!!

[Light is knowledge, certainty, clarity, luck, and relevancy. A Knight exploits that.

...Well, he doesn't have much knowledge about architecture, especially around here. And clarity isn't really helpful here. But luck, certainty, and relevancy... He can try to exploit those.

He flies in in front of the Carapacian (if this doesn't work, he can take the injury better than it can probably) and pulls out his sword in a defensive positioning, pouring all the relevance and luck he can into it. Surely, surely luck would have it that there's this one little flaw in the wall, one that wouldn't really matter most the time, but he can exploit that and turn it relevant as the exact spot his sword hits, and that flaw would cause the wall to break in just the right way that it falls to the sides instead, sparing them.

...You know, especially if some fire is sent ahead of the sword in order to weaken the wall further. Because things are obviously burning around here, it's not like the wall is fireproof...]

[...you and your pyro tendencies.]

[But that is indeed a thing you can do and it ACTUALLY WORKS because gotta love Homestuck bullshit.]

[The walls cracks, buckles, breaks, rubble falling harmlessly to either side.]

[You are now +1 panicking Carapacian.]

[You expected anything less from the fire elemental?

But oh good, that worked. ...And he might be falling to his knees for a moment because he may have put a bit more than he meant to into that fire and he doesn't have that much back yet

But he smiles, and looks over his shoulder at the Carapacian.]

Hey. You'll be okay, okay? I'm not gonna let you die.

[I swear, y'all are gonna make my jiiii elements into like elements and it will be WEIRD.]

[And that whole body language thing may make more sense now. The Carapacian never talks, but it's easy to somehow taking that flailing and get words.]

"We're all going to die! Everything is burning don't you see?!"

It'll be okay. The fire doesn't hurt me. And I'll protect you and get you to safety.

Are there any others nearby?

[Wait what.]

"Can you really?!"

Yup!

[There's probably something on fire close by so he'll just stick his hand right in it for a couple seconds... and then pull it out and it's completely fine, no injury at all :D]

See?

"I mean the protection, stupid boy!"

[Carapacians are kinda Rude, sorry.]

[...

oh]

Of course. I mean, what'd I just do?

"Then we need to leave! More drones are coming!"

[nod nod]

Are there more of you?

"Of course there are, we're a colony!"

Where are they? I'll clear a path to somewhere safe for everybody.

[The Carapacian looks at him, incredulous.]

"They're everywhere! Everything is on fire!"

Okay, okay.

[Well, the best thing to do is pull the Carapacian up onto his back so he's giving the little guy a piggy back ride and then fly up into the air to see if he can spot any others.]

[There is a lot.]

[It's a really big colony.]

[...he maaaaaay be biting off more than he can chew with this, huh.

...Well, he can at least try. He'll try and use a Light-y thing to know where the closest large group is and head over there, if nothing else.]

[A tiny bit.]

[But that does help narrow it down. Though the larger groups are more near the center of the colony with the robots, and away from the Lab. Lighty pings say he'll probably have to deal with more bullshit deviating from the path.]

[But it may also do more good to save more Carapacians.]

[...okay yeah saving the Carapacians is more important than avoiding dealing with crap, and besides they're important to Roxy

also he promised, didn't he?

flying over toward where they'll be then, because maybe he can carve a path and have the group follow him to the lab which he hopes is safer

or, you know, if all else fails, set fire to some robots or something]

[You pyro.]

[You go further and further in, and there's more fire, and more strings, and now there's a large group of Carapacians.]

[And six twelve foot tall robots seem to have noticed you.]

[And started firing robots.]

[...The robots are firing robots? ...Why is he even surprised, this is Roxy's world.

Okay, first he'll deposit the Carapacian on the ground where things aren't quite as dangerous.]

Go hide! Fiere, get the rest of them to safety.

Okay.

[And then he'll put all the luck and relevance he can into his sword again and attack the projectiles - surely he can hit them in just the right way to destroy them harmlessly without hurting anyone]
