Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Wipes my face before turning around*
You’re right. But my wants shouldn’t matter. They should never matter again.

@Unhinged

*Exhales*
I’m not here to tell you what to do. But you’re alive, and unless you’re telling me the actions Nemid influenced you to do were done of your own desire, you can leave with me. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past few months… If you stop moving forward, you’ll drown in the sorrow, and the pity. It will become you. And then, it’s harder than ever to break free.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Someone who deserves to wallow in the wrongs committed by their own hands just might.
*Looks down at my own*

@Unhinged

*Stands in silence for a long while before speaking*
If… If Nemid hurt you at least as much as he hurt me, then I know you don’t want to stay here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Stops, shakes my head and scoffs in disbelief*
I know you’re not saying that because of me. My home is gone, and there’s nowhere else I belong.

@Unhinged

Not having a place elsewhere doesn’t mean you deserve to stay here… No one does.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Wherever I belonged, whoever I knew before. It doesn't exist anymore. I have no place.
*Attaches my gun to my hip*
I know you disabled the gun. I can't stop you. If you came to reclaim what belongs to you, just do it.
*Walks away*

@Unhinged

I…
*Clenches my fist momentarily, then relaxes*
Reclaiming what’s mine is only part of it. There are things here that don’t belong here. Weapons, technology… Reminders. And people, as I’ve just learned.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Everything is gone. Him, his influence, my home, my- family.
*Glances to the floor and lowers my weapon slowly*

@Unhinged

*Raises an eyebrow in concern*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Frowns*
I don't know how to leave.

@Unhinged

... Nemid's influence on you is entirely gone.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You tell me where else in the world there's still a structure with functioning power and facilities. Maybe I'll move.

@Unhinged

*Says nothing for a long moment, then turns around slowly to face you*
Have you... Been stuck here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*You hear a click and feel the barrel of a gun plant itself to the back of your head*
It is. What do you want with my home?

@Unhinged

*Holds my hands up and to the side*
I’m just reclaiming lost property. Home, you say?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Awful, terrible, no good, stupid…
*The portal cracks like a whip as it comes to a close, and I take my first step forward, starting a trek through the graveyard of ships. I take a look down at my watch, listening for a ping that comes momentarily. I look off into the distance and continue my journey forward*

@GalaxyRaider

*Squeezes my eyes shut and shakes my head as I walk*
Horrible, dumb, stupid… Dumb…
*Opens my eyes and looks up, as I’ve stumbled across a whirring, towering metal structure that seems to be the only thing alive on this world. I reach out and place a hand on it*
Still running?…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*A portal spirals to life in front of me, and I look it up and down in hesitation before clenching my fists and stepping through*
...
*On the other side, I step into a world seemingly dead. A ruin lies nearby, of a temple shattered to pieces as an IA ship crashed to the planet and sat in ruin where it used to stand. For as far as the eye can see, more wrecked ships and various artifacts of war litter the landscape*

@GalaxyRaider
