Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

You have lost many people important to you.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

But...you couldn't change that.

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

I can't. ...All I can do is sympathize.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Is that why people say sorry then? When it's not their fault?

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

I believe so.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Ah.

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

There will always be people who wish they could do something, even when they know they can't.

...I have lost people too.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....what were they like?

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

I don't remember much, but my an-- my mother, she was kind and brave. She...worked in a factory. Made clothes. She'd leave at seven in the morning and wouldn't come back until more than twelve hours later, for my sake. She was pretty. Wore a headband with flowers.

Alp was an idiot. But a smart idiot, he learnt a language in less than a year. Could hold his own against kids trying to strong-arm him into selling things cheap. Smiled way too much but...he really smiles, it's amazing. He believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.

They're both gone. Even before I came here.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....

[Oh, you hit the mom doki's.]

[She smiles, gently.]

They sound really nice.

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

They really do, don't they?

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

They do.

I hope you have more good mems with 'em. Even when it hurts...it's nice to see the good stuff.

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

I hope you do the same, too.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She smiles sadly.] Yeah.


[And suddenly you're back out on the streets again, with your new Carapacian friend.]

[You also have twelve foot tall robot firing a rocket at you.]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ You know I was going to have warm fuzzy feelings and then this happened.

He's just. Going to grab the Carapacian and try to teleport out of the way, he's. He's pretty sure he can extend his Space powers to this little guy for a while he told him he'd try to get him somewhere safe -- ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Sorry, mood whiplash is Rage's thing apparently.]

[YOU HAVE TELEPORTED.]

[Robot is confused, but it is still looking for you. What do you do?]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ Where is the lab? He's thinking of trying to get there first and maybe dealing with the robot later. ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[It is -----> that way.]

[You are two thirds of the way there.]

[You are A LOT closer than you were.]

[Robot has spotted you and is beginning pursuit.]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ He's going to try to teleport himself and the Carapacian nearer to the lab then, because holy shit how does he even deal with a giant robot trying to kill him. He's not equipped (m..mentally, anyway) to do deal with this!!! ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Robots man.]

[Roll a ten sider.]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ 10! ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Oh look, there's good luck.]

[Would you like to avoid the bullshit and fast travel: Y/N?]

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ Y fuck this bullshit. ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Space distorts, you cross great distance, and now you stand in front of a tall building.]

TG: thats the lab
TG: need to get on the roof
TG: theres a ladder down
TG: n also
TG: be a good friend

[And then it disconnected.]

[Which might be a bit vague except you can now also see a figure standing in between you and the building.]

[It’s Roxy. Standing there in a t-shirt, skirt, and leggings, her mother’s scarf wrapped around her. In her hand is a piece of glass covered in blood, her own clothes stained the same. Around her are bodies. The bodies of her friends and Rose.]

[She looks over her shoulder at you, and she’s smiling, but her eyes are empty. She turns to you, and perhaps you’ll realize the blood is HERS. She’s covered in jagged injuries, but nowhere vital. Those spots are covered in bands of tiamt-with-black, a vibrant red, and blue. She holds out the shard of glass.]

Kill me.

Re: RAGE

[fairhands]

[ I.

This is like the awkward moment where he realises he doesn't actually know how to be a good friend, possibly because friendship is one of those things he spends a long time unsure how to actually do, but.

This.

This is still a lot to take in.

He takes the glass shard, mostly because it seems like a really, really bad idea to let Roxy hold onto it right now. ]

I will not.
