<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*You find that the green aura locks up any conversion into amaranthine, causing the force to crumble within itself instead*
You'll find it hard to kill me here, when my soul is still outside this realm.
*Maintains a deep, steady breath, maintaining as much composure as I can amidst the stabs*

@Server

I have all of eternity... and many ways to kill you. You..however... are running out of time.

*grabs you by the face, forcing you full of corruptive amaranthine*

You fight for old masters.. for ancient ways no longer necessary. What a shame.

*My ability activates whenever it attempts conversion*
My soul is sealed in a curse that Rica carries. Without it, you can't kill me here.
*Jams a scalpel into your neck, my hand smoldering in the heat*

@Server

*the scalpel scrapes against my skin like a blade on rock, a crystalline hardening where you had struck*

Then you will suffer... forever.

*attempts to kick your sternum in with a kick amplified with the energy to collapse a universe*

@souleaterfan320

I told you that I wasn't a fighter.
*Your kick easily destroys my body*

@Server

Then this.. will be a painful eternity for you. How long can you withstand? Before you loose your mind?.... I shall indulge in this.

*another me appears outside with rica, attempting to snap her neck with brute force*

@souleaterfan320

*On entry, you're enveloped by an all-consuming beam of light from a laser cannon that I had been charging since the two of you first left, dealing nonstop recoil damage to me while the beam itself ripples across spacetime*

@System

*it immediately rips into me, tearing off my mask and burning through my clothing, revealing my scorched form, a stitchwork of my own flesh and something else entirely*

Is that all... that you can do?

*flashes beside you, smacking you with universe crushing energy,only to flit to the side I sent you flying towards, only to slam into you, sending you through several planets*

@souleaterfan320

*My body is eviscerated by the attack and urgently rebuilds itself in a dazzling display of prismatic sparks*
Almost!
*The laser source automatically splits into a pair of crossed blades whose edges light up with the remaining energy from the laser and injure me as the sparks flow into them*
But not quite!
*Thrusts the handles of the blades together, cleaving you in half like a gigantic pair of scissors*

@System

*Raises my arms to catch the blades, cutting into my hands like a sharp steel rod into concrete, then releases once i duck under the blades, dashing toward you to stab through your stomach with a blazing hand, as well as sinking my teeth into your throat like a savage, hungry animal, attempting to rip your throat out*

@souleaterfan320

*You succeed, while my throat reforms amidst a horrible gurgling*
I like talking, you know!
*The blades change into gauntlets that I use to grab your skull with one hand and your arm with the other, holding you an arm's length away*

Hekrom: ah, the silent treatment.

@souleaterfan320

Not really a good time.

What were they looking for?

@Nimda

They did not know, so they didn’t find it.

... hey, shield my arm. I'm gonna try something. Might be stupid, but it might work.

@souleaterfan320

I’ll do what I can.
*Red and yellow energies emerge from your shoulder and stretch down the length of your arm like vines before merging together in a smooth coating*

@Multifarious

I see. And what does the Antiquary contain?

@Nimda

Relics of time. Many of them unwanted by the wider world from which they came, often of great danger. Things exist here that people often hear legends of.

@Multifarious

Do you have an example of such legend?

@Nimda

Not to be disclosed, unfortunately. The sorts of things we keep here… We hold the philosophy that the only beings who ought to know if something lies here are those who know of said thing already. If they exist at all.

Museums are usually known to admit anyone who desires to learn and is able to pay.

@Nimda

That would be the reason for the precise name choice. Describing The Antuquary as a museum is convenient for understanding, but it’s just as much a museum as it is also one person’t private collection.
