<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Just wanted to be as sure as I could that I wouldn’t be hitting you with it.
*Kicks away from the pull off a chunk of the scattered debris that had launched itself back up to our position*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

The way a person like him thinks? The only way to make him regret choosing you is to prove that you are stronger than what he did to you. Letting it hurt you until your last breath, means he wins.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

You think that. That's not what he told me.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The implosion continues between the mist reacting with the rocky chunks, coalescing into a crystalline center no larger than a person's thumb*
If I reacted that slowly, I really would be an illusion.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I know that. Because you can’t count on anything he ever said to you or did to you, as anything except a means to manipulate you. His words mean nothing.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Nods*
Mm. Made it a good test.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

He called me a pet. A toy. I don't mean a thing to him at all.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Flies over and grabs the crystal*
Two down. And now that you've seen the truth, perhaps the last for you.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

That you were vilified and hunted from the moment you proved to be different?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

A lie simply by metric of how much time he spent on you. It’s another one of the million ways I’m sure he manipulated you.
*Sighs*
You can’t take a word out of his mouth at face value. Truly.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Not quite—
*Crosses my arms, now tense*
The town treated me as well as I deserved. Gave me a place to live on the outskirts.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I didn’t get to see what happened after they chased you out of town.

*Yawns and stretches, now elsewhere entirely*
Gaaaaaah... I'm back!

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I don't remember what happened. Somehow I learned that day that human flesh could reverse the transformation.
*Bites into my hand and my appearance returns to normal*

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Just like you are now. It's hard to trick me.

<Snipped quote by Interface 2>

How did we help mix it in a way you couldn’t already?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Inevitable, I could only imagine.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

<Snipped quote by The Monitor 2>

*sighs and looks intently at @Stratocracy*

I definitely don't see like that's the case... she keeps messing up! Still!

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Assuming I want to manipulate you is something that would only be true if I were aiming to use you. While you may not believe me when I say I don’t, I can promise you that you’ll find have no reason to even want to. All I want is to see people free.
*Holds my hands out in front of me, palms up*
If this conversation has reinforced anything for me, it’s that I don’t believe you are free. Not yet.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Not that i couldn't, in fact i'm already fighting similar fronts throughout the rims of the outer void and inner space, but you and Benjamin and the whole Misty situation, through absolutely unexpected circumstances and unintended consequences wound up in the fray of this fight, acting as yet another catalyst for the proper mixing of the concrete, if we are still going with that analogy.
