[IC] Myriad Reality

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by 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*

@Artifact

*Lets go and takes a few steps backward from the blow, raising my hands in the air*

[Etcetera]

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

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

@Stratocracy

What is it?

[Artifact]

*Lets go and takes a few steps backward from the blow, raising my hands in the air*

@Valiance

*Grows in aggression and rushes after you, striking you in the knee with my good hand*

[Stratocracy]

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

What is it?

@Etcetera

My sister saw the potential in you. Now that I’ve stuck around, I see it too.

[Legend Begins]

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Do you have to have one?

@Etcetera

*The ground shakes and the sky turns a beautiful twilight under twinkling starlight and an unnaturally large moon*
Daydream: Maiden of Noctis!
*Bursts from the ground, arms extended and sparkling with light*

*Grows in aggression and rushes after you, striking you in the knee with my good hand*

@Artifact

*Buckles my knees and catches it with my nearest hand*
If I wished you harm I would have done so with the element of surprise.

@Stratocracy

*Returns an unpleasant, semi-disgusted expression*
You don't know me.

@Valiance

It must've been you! You must've killed Ringo!
*Twists my wrist and uses the momentum to kick you in the side*

@Legend Begins

*Millions of needles shoot up from the ground and pierce you in every direction*
You won't kill me, will you? Waste of my time.

@Etcetera

Maybe not entirely. And I wish I hadn’t been in a position to catch you with your pants down like this, but it’s hard for you to lie to me after what I’ve seen in here. Now, I don’t even believe you when you lie to yourself.

*Twists my wrist and uses the momentum to kick you in the side*

@Artifact

*Catches your leg with my other hand and lifts you up, dangling you by your ankle in front of me*
You don’t think I’d be more willing to hurt you if I was the one who hurt him?

[Spiritblitz]

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

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

@Fractured

It’s black because you don’t know what is there. You are scared, like I am. Like I was back then too!
*looks at the darkness and I change for a moment to speak*
It’s okay to be scared and to fear the unknown. That is normal. But, until you actually see what is there… you won’t be able to find that light.
*I return to normal*
I will go with you and we will go at the same time. Find out what it is! Together!

@Stratocracy

You don't know me at all. You don't know what you saw. Just leave me.

@Etcetera

You don’t want that.

@Valiance

*The world warps, adjusting my position out of your grip, and I kick your knee against its natural direction*
You're a liar, Roland!

@Spiritblitz

*Shakes my head quickly*
Come with.
*Walks along the edge of the circle*

@Stratocracy

Who are you to say that? Give me my drink back. You won't earn that.

@Artifact

*My leg swings backwards and I drop to a kneeling position, while staring at you with a gaze that snaps immediately from empathetic to infuriated*

@Valiance

*Red mist coats my hand, recovering it completely*
You've lied since the beginning!
*Flings dust into your eyes and claws into your guts*
