...If that's the case, then I'll go with you. It'll be easier to defend ourselves if we work as a team. And if we are captured somehow, at least we'll be together.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[She scoffs.] We're already captured!

Where do you think we are?

We're in her clutches because she's controlled the board the whole time! My life, the Game, my POWERS. Manipulating and moving me where she wants me to get what she wants.

From:

bloodbiter

...I know. I'm sorry. But I trust that we can find a way out together.

[trying to use her abilities to make this roxy trust in her]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[There's walls that, but....they're wavering.]

And then what?!

From:

bloodbiter

[pushing harder]

And then we will figure out what to do. Right now, the most important thing to do is find a way out of here.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

That's what I'm SAYING!

Even if we leave, Jade is GONNA FIND US. She fucking TELEPORTS, we can't just run and expect to get away without a plan.

[The walls are still only wavering.]

From:

bloodbiter

[push push push]

There's two of us. We can evade her if she comes for us. And I can influence things with the power of my belief.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

The power of BELIEF?!

[Oh, wow, the wall slammed up then.]

How do you think we GOT here?

Believe it'll work out, believe there's a way to win, believe...believe shit will CHANGE, but it doesn't! It never changes! In the end, I still have jack squat because of her, and I still have to bend to HER will because in the end, I'm a good fucking person who can't kill off an entire race!

From:

bloodbiter

[puts her hands up, placating]

That isn't what I meant...

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Do you think I would BE here if I could just leave?

I can walk through fucking WALLS! Literally, I'm not caught because I'm in a cell, I'm caught because I can be dragged back in by the Spacey girl who will fucking torture me if she has to to make me make a stupid fucking spikeball and gog, wouldn't that be a trip when I do want to make it, because, yeah, sure, fun challenge, but because ENTIRE RACE.

Because the Batterwitch knows what she's doing, and I'm a stupid fucking kid.

[So.....much bitterness going on here.]

From:

bloodbiter

...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. But - you aren't stupid.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Of course I am.

[She sighs and just....collapses.]

If I wasn't stupid, then I could figure a way out of this. I could figure out a way to save the race without that bitch gettin' 'em and makin' 'em slaves.

I'd have figure out a way to keep her from takin' Jane and Jade and....and avoid this whole mess. I KNEW she was gonna pull something, but I had nothin' ready.

From:

bloodbiter

...Sometimes it's not about not being smart or brave or strong enough. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do. You don't have as much power as she does, do you? You can't blame yourself for that.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

I didn't do ANYTHING.

I...all I did was realize that I would die heroically if I charged forward, everything else-

From:

bloodbiter

It's good that you realized that. Now you can live to fight another day.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[She laughs bitterly.]

Yeah.

That's suuuuper helpful.

From:

bloodbiter

It's certainly more helpful than the other alternative, isn't it?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Alternative?

WHAT alternative?

That's what it has always been.

From:

bloodbiter

No, I meant... You choosing not to die heroically and instead not acting is a better option than charging forward and dying heroically. I think that was wise in itself. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

....like I said.

I'm good at it.

From:

bloodbiter

Picking your battles is a good thing.

[but okay, looking around. is there anything that looks like it could help an escape attempt?]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Says the girl whose pursuing a battle she can't win.

From:

bloodbiter

You mean getting out of this place? If so, that's different.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

No, it's not.

It's a battle you can't win, just going 'how do i leave this cell?' Leaving the cell is easy. That's NOT THE PROBLEM.

But I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Peeps dun like to listen to me anyway.
