Re: RAGE

[forthemackerel]

CW: i'll be careful
CW: see you soon

[ with that, he sobers up his feelings, taking in a deep breath before stepping forward as instructed ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

TG: see you


[And suddenly you're back out on the streets again.]

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

Re: RAGE

[forthemackerel]

[ THAT, he isn't prepared for, but he tries to snap back from that pretty fast, reminding himself destroying the building before, trying to do the same thing to this rocket and robot, but he's still spooked and might not have his full focus ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Got the rocket and the robot is now missing one arm.]

[It's pursuing!]

Re: RAGE

[forthemackerel]

[ right. flying. flying is a thing he can do until he can catch himself. for all the shit he's seen in her heart already, he is still a newbie to all this. but he'll focus harder, narrowing those thoughts on taking out the rest of it. hopefully ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[That you can. At least flying isn't hard, almost instinctive.]

[Takes a few tries until BOOM.]

[Down the robot goes.]

[Roll a ten sider.]

Re: RAGE

[forthemackerel]

[ at least three is higher than one and two, right? ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[At least there's that.]

[And you suddenly find yourself in the ring.]

[And oh wow.]

[Wow, probably familiar now, that is a lot of death by RED VINES everywhere for a good chunk of people in Kyriakos both past and present.]

[And there's Roxy whose just....sitting, staring at a dead Sparrow whose got vines and glass in her.]

Re: RAGE

[forthemackerel]

[ looking around slowly before approaching just as slow, remaining silent and stopping next to her. just... watching for the moment ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She just....stares at Sparrow for a long while.]

Can't get used to it.

Re: RAGE

[forthemackerel]

[ still just watching her right now ]

The death?

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Nods.] Seein' my friends dead. Even here, it doesn't...

[She reaches out to touch Sparrow, stops, pulls back. Sparrow is too STILL and...well, it scares her.]

Re: RAGE

[forthemackerel]

Death is still death. Even here.

[ sits down next to her, even if he wouldn't know who Sparrow is, it's still obvious her importance to Roxy ]

It's still real when it happens.

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...yeah.

Still feels real, even if they come back. Eventually.

Re: RAGE

[forthemackerel]

And since you've experienced it, you know the pain is real.

[ since. he's gotten the taste of that in this heart ]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Nods.] Yeah.

She...really hates it. Has had nightmares 'bout it.

But she's always gotta try and save people.
