I am not a healer.

@Dynamics

-Spectre- Don't you just love using your magic in as useful a manner as possible?

Clarice, what are you doing?!?

@Nimda

*pulls my arm away*

Dont ask questions that you dont want answers to...

@souleaterfan320

You're right; I don't. Now tell me what's going on!!!

[Heroic]

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I see. Do we have a motivation?

@Host

Not watching universes worth of people die.

@Heroic

That seems to contradict a previous statement.

Clarice:....

*sits down on a nearby chair*

This project... I was trying to test the exact conditions that led to the incident, so that I could recreate it. I figured that if I could do that, then I could find a way to reverse it, to take away your abilities. At first, I started this project because I was afraid of your abilities effects on your body, I was worried that it would kill you....

*I begin to tear up, but I wipe them away before the tears can form, and sniffle a bit*

Then, after some observation, i saw tgat you body had actually strengthened since the accident, your abilities, they werent having any effect on you, at all. I closed the project for a few month, but then I saw how advanced you became with your powers. Its was frightening how well you adjusted to them, and theve only amplified since then... I started to worry that this power would go to your head, and that you would...

*starts softly crying*

. T-that you would turn on me... I wouldnt blame you, if you did, I put you in this position... I restarted the project just in case you saw for yourself that you were growing too strong, and might want to get rid of them, or if they grew to be too much for you to handle... I took to drinking just seven months after the incident, wanted to drown my sorrows... after that stopped being effective... I began cutting.. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...

@souleaterfan320

You—you did this to hurt me!??!

@Nimda

Clarice: not to hurt you, but to fix what i did to you, to reverse what i did....

@souleaterfan320

The only reason I'm here is because I wasn't useless anymore! And you want to take that away from me?!

@souleaterfan320

You?! The one who put literally all this together? Who's been ahead of me all of my life? All I could do on this ship was cook and clean before I got my powers and you wanted to take that from me too!!

[Heroic]

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

That seems to contradict a previous statement.

@Host

Which one?

[Host]

<Snipped quote by Host>

Which one?

@Heroic

That we are fighting to save ourselves, not the many.

@Nimda

Clarice: ... you are everything i only wished i could be. Knowledge is a curse... i am no where near what i wanted to be ... being smart is the only thing im good at, i wouldve died without you, without your powers. I'm better off dead now, anyways...

[Disdain]

<Snipped quote by Host>

Pretty much. It isn't a conundrum where the few have to win to save the many. We're fighting for ourselves.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

All the preparation possible has been done in your absence, really. Only thing that could chang at this point is, like we said, the team's makeup, so if you want to prepare on your own in case we end up asking you, then that's really all I can ask.

@Heroic

-Spectre- I don't suppose there's much I could do other than to train, which I spend a reasonable chunk of time doing already.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Which one?

@Heroic

-Spectre- The part where you said we were fighting for ourselves. Which is pretty bad motivation, I'd say, if all it means is that we get extra pride or ego or whatnot.

@souleaterfan320

Curse?! Do you know what I would have given to be as smart as you??

[Disdain]

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Yes.

@Dynamics

-Spectre- Good. It warms my heart that I am able to organise such useful use. *We exit the forest* Ice Make: Cycle! *Hops on my motorcycle* Might as well stop walking.
