[IC] Myriad Reality

[Stratocracy]

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Punches the base of the skull, shoving the liquid down and sending you flying out of it, landing back in the minefield*

@Etcetera

*Slides to my feet across the ground to a halt*

[Legend Begins]

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Smirks and rips of the chains to swing with my arms and use as weapons*

@Etcetera

Cage of unbridled id!
*Barbed, inwardly curled metal forms from the chains around you, inducing extreme pain to walk through*

[Etcetera]

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Slides to my feet across the ground to a halt*

@Stratocracy

*Offers the other cup of hot chocolate*

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Eventually, you catch me hunched over the body of a young boy around my age, clearly mauled apart by some kind of wild beast, and my hands tremble with a combination of shock and disbelief, still fighting off the infectious attributes of the dragon's heart*
No... Ringo...

@Artifact

*Stops by the nearest tree without immediately interfering*

@Legend Begins

I'm bored now.
*Walks through the bars without a second though and punches the ground, unleashing a swirling vortex of flesh and blood that crawl up your feet and pull you into the surface of the planet*

*Offers the other cup of hot chocolate*

@Etcetera

*Brushes each of my arms of forcefully, shaking any loose liquid off, and then reaches out to take it while taking a step forward*

@Valiance

*Visibly fights against the creature's instinct, shaking and pulling my hand back when it seems to extend toward him on its own*
Stop! Not him!
*In a moment of sheer desperation, lurches for my own hand instead of the boy, and seeing no other choice, slams my razor-sharp teeth shut*

@Stratocracy

*Hands you the cup and stares at the perpetually setting sun of the wasteland*
I thought you would leave.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

I can feel it. I've tried to jump a lot. But I'm too scared.

@Fractured

Feel it? What can you feel?

@Etcetera

*Frowns*
Come on Misty, it's been long enough.

@Legend Begins

Nope. Not close.
*The ground rushes up to meet you, crushing you in a mass of bones, blood, muscle, and organs*

@Artifact

*Blasts forward and snatches you up and away from him, sliding to a halt afterward by digging my feet into the dirt*

@Etcetera

Kind of defeats the purpose of why I’ve stuck around to begin with, don’t you think?

[Fractured]

@Spiritblitz

I can tell it would be the end if I jumped. It would all go to black.

@Valiance

*The infectious nature of the dragon ceases in that moment*
W-who?
*Spins with unnatural flexibility for a child and kicks you in the bottom of your jaw*

@Stratocracy

Do you have to have one?

[Stratocracy]

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Do you have to have one?

@Etcetera

I don’t guess I have to, no. But I do.
