<Snipped quote by Session>

*Takes my hand back and grunts*
I would love to make it all about her. It’s all things were ever supposed to be.
*Straightens my jacket*
But, if you insist. Until I have reason to believe otherwise, you are both suspects number one, and I will act accordingly.
*Turns to Gio*
You can still turn yourselves in. Will you?
*Pauses for just a moment, before you would go to answer, and suddenly warps behind you with speed dwarfing the brothers prior and wraps my arm around your neck in a stranglehold*
Didn’t think so.

@Nemeses

*Pulls my pistol and fires it at your head behind me*

*Raises an eyebrow with a clear thought on my mind, but neither speaks nor acts on it*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Stares down Gio while you do, looking him up and down analytically. Your analysis only relays the info that the detonations did truly occur from within the tech on stage, with no evidence of projectiles or other manipulation from afar. Nothing residual even signifies a sabotage device, and energy signatures don’t match anyone known*
Well, you at least truly don’t know anything, Gio. But that doesn’t seem surprising.

@Nemeses

*Rubs my palm with my thumb*
Sorry for not having supernatural spirit vision. There's not a lot I can do about that.
*Mumbles something exasperated under my breath*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

You’re sticking to that?
*Takes a few steps forward*
If I had the foresight to know things would have ended up going this far, I’d have stopped it. No questions asked. I thought the people known for frequenting this trash heap of a world were generally acknowledged to be decent people, so forgive me for misjudging you.
*Puts my hands in my pockets*
Ona is coming back to her family. For the crime of harboring a criminal, I was willing to ignore you, and even trying to do so. For the crime of mass murder… Don’t make me kill you.

@Nemeses

I'm not going to stand here and pretend to be a good person, but if you think you can acc—

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

There is no framing. I do not care about either of you, or at least I didn’t. I had faith in these two dealing with you through a bit of effort.
*Points my finger upside-down at the mountain base*
There’s only one thing any of us came for.

@Nemeses

So you slaughter a crowd of innocents to get your way? I'm no hero, but this is sick.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Gio, I think he's framing you.

@Session

We've never even met him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

That’s the spin you’re going to try and go with?
*Shakes my head*
The energy surge came from your little spell. It’s clear as day, likely even on footage- if there are any cameras left.
*Kneels down next to him and turns my gaze to him*
You’re the brains of your little duo. You understand there is one, and only one path to making up for this.

@Nemeses

You're insane. We aren't even set up for crowd control.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

It is what it is. I was hoping to not need to come at all, but some people have made some very, very stupid decisions today. Not the least of which, is turning a battleground into a spectator sport with little safety precautions besides word of honor.
*Looks down at the brother in front of me*
You couldn't fabricate a tale of more arrogance.

@Nemeses

So you come in and wipe them all out instead?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Grabs you by the shirt collar*
Don't play stupid, boy! I don't know what kind of magic you were using, but now...

@Inimical

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Now, nothing.
*Floats down from the air above, in front of the brother in orange*
Now, only consequences.

@Nemeses

Is this convenient vindication?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Clenches my fist*
Why don’t you tell me?! What in the world did you do?!

@Inimical

I had nothing to do with that! You asked us not to hurt the crowd!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Nothing prevents you from defending yourself like that, and when the dust settles, I stand in the midst of where the crowd once stood- charred, exhasuted, and with my shoulders slumped*

@Unhinged

*Singed and exhausted, inhales deep breaths in a wide pose with one fist resting on the ground between my legs*
What... was that?
