[My schedule's been kind of sucking too, honestly.]

...promise?

From:

secretofthefox

[Someday, there will be a string of games we can actually make again, somehow...]

Yeah, I promise.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[SOMEHOW!!!! o9]

...okay.

[And mood whiplash as you're BACK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD and oh look, there's robots still firing rockets at you.]

[At least the Carapacians seemed to have run off.]

From:

secretofthefox

[...wow he is not used to mood whiplash hang on he's going to shake his head a moment]

Tan?

[But if the Carapacians have run off and are safe, that's the important thing. So now the point is to get to the lab.]

I'm fine. Come on, this way.

[We are going to fly toward the lab, attempting to exploit Light-y knowledge to know the trajectories of the rockets and be able to dodge them.]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[You can do the dodgey thing. But there's still five robots after you.]

From:

secretofthefox

[...What if he tries another one of those giant laser beams, aimed at the robots this time? That worked well enough earlier, right?

~~/)-(\~~]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[...why yes.]

[Yes you can.]

[You've laser beamed one! The others are still after you!]

From:

secretofthefox

[Well that's one :) But he should deal with the others. It'd be bad to lead them to the lab, after all...

Hmm...

...Well, let's see. A Knight exploits what he's got of his aspect. Namely, Light. And while we could go more metaphorical... well, laser beams have been working too.

...If he was to slash his sword at the robots, might that he be able to exploit the light around him to focus it on the blade and make a beam slash a la Legend of Zelda?]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Not like her heart couldn't allow for Video Game references.]

[Who knows, there might even be music.]

[Roll a twelve sider.]

From:

secretofthefox

[Eee, Oracles~

and 6!]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Oh look, things are different.]

[Because 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 Sol 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!

From:

secretofthefox

[...why does the sight of Jade like that make his stomach crawl...

...well whatever, he can ignore that in terms of more important matters.

...Yeah he's looking up at the corners of the ceiling of the cell to see if there are any cobwebs he can burn.]

Even if she hadn't, threatening torture's a real jack-ass way to ask for help.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Miiiiiind controoooool. :D]

[No cobwebs. Derse is a dapper place and even if they're horrible, they keep the place spiffy.]

Not like she'd do anything less!

[Paaaaause.]

Who the fuck are you?

From:

secretofthefox

[yay wounds on the soul that don't go away even when the memory does

a lack of cobwebs or stuff to burn in general stinks though. ...And the lack of recognition kind of makes him stare for a moment.]

I'm Sol, remember? Your optimist dummy of a teammate? Or are you another piece of the heart who doesn't have that memory or something?

[He's really, really sick of the pieces concept.]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Well, there's green cubes, I guess.]

....seriously.

Optimist dummy teammate is Jake. And he's HOPE, not LIGHT.

From:

secretofthefox

[but you made those]

...A piece of the heart who doesn't have that memory then. Well, that's great...

...Fine, whatever. Guess you could say I'm from the future? Or something like that.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[True.]

...really.

[She scoffs.] From the future, here to solve all my problems, right?

[You've probably never heard Roxy just sound so totally bitter.]

From:

secretofthefox

Not really?

I mean, if I could, that'd be great. But I'm pretty sure there's a lot I can't help out with.

Like this? All I can do is set things on fire a little. That's not gonna help you with dog girl.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...burning everything down actually sounds fuckin' fantastic.

From:

secretofthefox

Not gonna disagree with that.

[FIRE BOY THIS IS WHERE YOU SAY NO. ._.]

I'm just worried you'd get caught up in it.

...You know, if there's even enough stuff around that'll burn off a little candle flame.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Not like a fire is gonna kill me now. I'm immortal.

Everything burns if you try hard enough.

[....well.]

From:

secretofthefox

...Well in that case.

[...oh god. Pyro you're not seriously going over to the

he's going over to the pile of green cubes and picking one up to examine it

/)-(\]

Anyone else in this prison I should worry about keeping safe?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[She shrugs.] Probs more Carapacians.

From:

secretofthefox

[THANK YOU for giving him a reason to stop this dumb idea.]

Hmm. Well, I kind of told those guys I'd protect them, so setting the place on fire while they're all here would kind of cause problems there...
