[ Yeah SUCK OUR DICKS!

Rolled a 6! ]

[lucciola]

[...well of course I'm awesome]

[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 yourselves 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!

[unguilded]

I think I know who you're talking about...

Hey, Roxy.

[lucciola]

[why are all leaders crazy bitches]

... Roxy.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[It is a sad truth. ):]

What?!

[Snapping and glaring at them.]

....who the fuck are you?

[unguilded]

Ah...

[ RUDE!! ]

I'm Rook! We're here to help you in here-- or at the very least, do whatever we can.

[lucciola]

[... 8|]

Yes, he speaks the truth. We are here to help. I am Castling.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Really.

And how are you going to help?

[unguilded]

That part remains to be seen. It's ... not a very good position you seem to be in, here.

[lucciola]

What has happened?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

What happened? What HASN'T? Jane brainwashed, Dirk MIA, Jake caught and seemed to be having a break down!

[unguilded]

[ Oh did you say Rook's favorite word. He goes silent for slightly longer than he should before he breaks it. ]

And you in here, given a choice like this. Do you think you can find a way out to find the others?

[ Glances around. ]

[lucciola]

[yeah that... is surely a word...

what does the room look like other than a jail?]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Well, it's got green cubes and pumpkins, and a weird platform of strange glyphs.]

It's not about ESCAPING. I can walk through fucking walls. It's the fact if I try, Jade will drag me back 'fore I could find anyone!

[unguilded]

Then, maybe there's a way they'll come and find you-- Dirk, at least, if there's a chance he's still out there.

But, in the meantime you have a pretty tough choice to make.

[ Since those morals seem to be the main idea here rather than escaping. ]

[lucciola]

[morals are such a dual-edged sword sometimes. he doesn't quite know what to say yet, bc Rook does it well for both of them so far, so he waits for Roxy to speak again]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

He should be there.

But probs not for a while with teleporter.

...

[unguilded]

Then, hopefully another path will open up for you soon enough.

What are you going to do in the meantime, though? About your powers.

[lucciola]

That orb... is it possible to create it?

[not that I'm saying you should. but]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Yes.

Yeah, I can make it. Made the cubes, didn't I?

[unguilded]

But do you want to? I know ... she wants you to make it for her, but what would you do, despite it?

[ His voice sounds strangely neutral, because he has an idea of where he wants to go with this. Maybe where he should. But it hits a little too close to him and he's not sure if it's the right answer for even himself. ]

[lucciola]

[either option just... sounds bad]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....

AAAAGH, isn't that fuckin' obvious?!

You have the power to save a species, dun even to self sacrifice to do it, just gotta mediate right. What do you do? The fucking obvs choice!

[unguilded]

Then you should, if that's what you want to do-- if that's what you'd do without knowing what would-- what will happen. Follow your heart as though nothing's threatening to cause it pain. Before anything else.

Not that it won't hurt, because knowing what you know, it will. But don't put those feelings in your choice, don't let her affect it the way she wants to. And if you're still here-- if your friends are still out there, that means there's still a chance that you can bring them back to how they should be, one day, if they exist.

... I don't even know if I'd want that for myself, knowing that that happened to me, too. Not living might definitely seem better than living as something you didn't choose, controlled by someone else. ... But I'm just me, I'm not an entire race. And if there was a chance that somehow ... they could go back to being what they used to be ... if that choice was in someone like yours' hands ... I'd just want them to do what they thought was right in their heart, no matter what it was, regardless of what a greater power wanted out of it.
