[no excuse me i need to first quell the urge to slap someone who isn't even here]

LM: THE LAB/

[Jane was a logical girl, sadly. She was not ready for that bullshit.]

TG: youll be able to feel it
TG: just think u wanna go

[When she does, she'll feel it. An odd sort of just KNOWING the direction. Sbe'll be fairly sure even if she gets turned around, she'll know the way she needs to go.]

[But she is gonna need to go outside.]

[Always wondered, was directions because of the void, or was it because she grew up with chess people with perfect senses of direction?]

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[WHATEVER

okay off she goes

well first she's taking out a pen from her sylladex from earlier and write her own encouraging messages: "I see you" and "I love you" and "I don't pity anyone, pity is a dumb emotion, you deserve better than pity" and "I won't break any promise I make"

THEN she's going, coughing a bit from the heavy air]

[You're outside and you’re amongst fire and structurally unsound buildings. There are also corpses of the black and white Carapacians, blood red as humans, and all very dead. You can see the red stringy mass in the sky, and in the distance you can hear rockets.]

UU: i do know a thing or two aboUt the red miles.
UU: it is the qUeen's favoUred attack. very long distance and omnidirectional.
UU: bUt once Upon a time, her weapon was stolen by a UsUrper. jacked, yoU coUld say, right off her ring finger. and then given a considerable boost in power.
UU: that gave the miles enoUgh of a kick to rip a Universe to shreds.
UU: and they have been doing so to yoUrs and its many instances for eons.
UU: only now have they caUght Up to yoUr instance. it is qUite fortUnate it has taken so long, really.
UU: some instances are tUcked deeper in the speaker's mighty blow sack, and will hold oUt for mUch longer, on a vast cosmic scale of coUrse.
TG: wait
TG: i dont
TG: what? instances
TG: blowb sack
TG: righ now i can hardly walk w/o steppin on my moms scarf ok
TG: so theyre destorying the universe is that the bootom line
UU: yes.
UU: try to think of it like this.
UU: imagine that the Universe is contained inside a very large creatUre.
UU: say, a great big frog.
TG: frog
TG: why a frog thats so silly
UU: it's jUst a frog! that is the way it is, jUst try to imagine it.
TG: k
TG: picturin
TG: big ol space frog
TG: all ribbiting loud an being huge
TG: hehehe
UU: now imagine that not only does the Universe exist inside it, depending on the creatUre's health and well being to sUrvive...
UU: bUt every potential instance of that Universe exists inside as well.
UU: those that are doomed and those with promise.
UU: even those that were reset from scratch, with slightly different starting conditions.
UU: all of those interrelated Universes mingling together inside yoUr frog, inextricable from its physiology.
UU: if the frog dies, they all go with it. eventUally.
TG: then you are saying some rude a-hole is killin our frog
UU: sadly, yes.
TG: wow
TG: that is
TG: just....
TG: the WORST

[You know the way to the lab, though it's some distance away.]

[Roll a 12 sider.]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Suddenly you're getting a Lighty Ping.]

[Do you want to deal with extra BS or fast travel?]

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[oh a ping those are worth paying attention to

nnnnnn gonna fast travel, on the idea that maybe she'll get to the root of the problem that way]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[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.]

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[FUCK THAT???

But....heroic death means she won't come back. Not unless her own power revives her, and does she really want to take that risk?

.....

She's a Maid of Light. She has luck on her side already. And if she concentrates, if she draws in all the information about how the building is falling so that she can move and dodge and minimize the damage to herself.....she can change the odds to be in her favor.

Likely or unlikely is a matter of fortune, of probability. Things that are part of her powerset, her domain. That, and she has the void ring to draw in extra power to shove against the tide.

So she does, flying at optimum speed to grab the Carapacian and get them both to safety.]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[You have grabbed a Carapacians.]

[And by pure luck (which isn't really normal luck anymore), you both manage to be where an open window is. You looney tunes it and you're both fine.]

[You are not +1 flailing Carapacian.]

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[WHEW!!!


Now to try and reassure the Carapacian, not with words but with gestures and open, honest body language. You didn't die. It's okay. Please calm down so I can help.]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[So, Carapacian definitely doesn't speak.]

[But you do still understand body language, and you're getting across.]

[Which is good you offered to help because DIRECTION!!!!!!!]

"you can help?!"

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[I want to try. You're hurt! What do you need?]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

"To escape! The queen is destroying everything!"

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[Where is this queen?]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

"On Derse?! On her ship?! I don't know, stupid girl, did you not see the robots?!"

[Sorry, Carapacians can be kinda rude.]

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[GIVES THE MIDDLE FINGER no just kidding

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to figure out how to end this before anyone else gets hurt.

She moves to set the Carapacian down.]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

"We must escape, the whole neigbhorhood is burning!"

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[......

Run, or hide if you have to. You said there were robots? I'll take care of them the best that I can.

And off she flies!!! Feeling for the lab, but also the source of the rockets.]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Away you go.]

[Another twelve sider.]

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[

how the shit]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Avoid the bullshit for fast travel Y/N?]

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[her plan was to do some rocket gambit

but ROOT OF THE PROBLEM

so Y]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[MORE ZIPPING ALONG THE STREETS, but hey, you can still do a rocket gambit.]

[Because now you have a twelve foot tall robot firing a rocket at you.]

Re: RAGE

[pawper]

[Using muh Light bullshit to correctly know the exact moment to dodge the rocket, when and where to draw sword to best strike the rocket in such a way to force it off-course in a wide loop back at the robot, and how hard to hit said spot.]
