...
[...Okay yeah Sol's gonna need another moment to process this
Mostly because his knee-jerk reaction would be to immediately deny that it's her fault, and while that remains his opinion he's trying to think before he shounens, really he is...
Thinking is hard though.]

[A spark. Denial isn't your friend in this room.]
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-29 11:43 am (UTC)Roxy has no reason to lie about it having happened. And it also helps explain why she was so freaked out about the vines after that one game.
But still. Roxy is a good person. She wouldn't have killed everyone on purpose, not unless...]
...You didn't think it would happen that way, did you. You confessed because you thought it would mean less death, not more.
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-29 11:47 am (UTC)One less wolf, more chance to end it in another round, if Epona didn't cave under pressure, which had been a possibility I thought was likely to happen. Both wolves gone, game's over, all done.
I didn't read the rules closely enough.

Date: 2015-01-29 12:50 pm (UTC)[He's not good at this but he's trying :/]
...But if Doom is supposed to be understanding...
[Maybe over here it's not so much guilt that it happened so much as...]
...A record, then? Not forgetting that it happened?

Date: 2015-01-29 12:56 pm (UTC)[...all right so what about the purple scarf. It'll probably kill him too but now that he's expecting it he may be more wondering what happened there and less nervous about it.]

[Just]
[BONG]
[You feel your body break down again, as it did for godtier, pulling, pulling everything back, until you snap back, whole, in the air. Completely fine.]
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-29 01:11 pm (UTC)Sorry, Fiere.
[He's just trying to get it and not succeeding. If it's not a record, then...]
...That was your mom, right?

Date: 2015-01-29 01:21 pm (UTC)What are you going for?
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-29 01:36 pm (UTC)...I can't even pretend to know how that feels. At least I had some time with my mom, before she died.
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-29 01:42 pm (UTC)I'm not the feelings, Sol.
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-29 11:19 pm (UTC)[He's still not very good at this, can you tell?]
Doom is understanding... You're not emotional, you're not just a reminder... Acceptance that it happened?

Date: 2015-01-30 01:19 pm (UTC)Red blood.
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-30 01:23 pm (UTC)I'll be fine, Fiere.
[because yeah, going over to touch the red blood now despite his fox's protests]
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-30 01:25 pm (UTC)[The last of your friends, of your family, with no more cheats, saves, tricks, or alternatives.]
[Forever the last one standing, little rogue Roxy.]
[Growing up on islands of graves and seas of blood.]
[Fifth time's the charm for you to really be the last of your whole reality. Fifth time to make it stick with no one left to save.]
[Finally, Roxy changes and you see it. The small wounds through her chest, and the bigger one just below her heart. The burns, blue lips and finger tips. The marks of vines around her body, and the pieces of her that just seem...missing.]
[Her eyes no longer yellow, but an eerie, blank white.]
[Well, at least he didn't die this time.]

Date: 2015-01-30 01:56 pm (UTC)Take your time.
Re: DOOM
Date: 2015-01-30 05:26 pm (UTC)but this isn't the loneliness, that was probably Miss Lonelybutt over in Time.
Does he say that she's really strong for still being here despite everything? ...No, that's shounen.
Doom is understanding. Shounen and emotion is wrong, no matter his own gut. A record is closer but still wrong. Acceptance is on the right track but still wrong.]
...Acknowledgement? Of everything that's happened to you. Of the fact that you're still here despite everything. That you're here.
[...god he's so bad at this.]
