Week Six

[letsplayamod]

You've survived, for lack of better wording, the latest week of trials and tribulations. This one had been more costly than most: Typhon's machinations have brought your group to nearly half the size it was when Athena first brought you to this island. Whether it ends with him or with you is still too soon to make out. One thing's for certain. Things cannot be allowed to continue as they are.

Speaking of continuing, the next floor has been revealed to you. Just how far down this island goes is a bit of a mystery, but you get the feeling that you're close to something important. Maybe that thing Athena wanted you to find before Typhon does. You can ruminate on that as you watch the waters below. Waves still lap at the cliffs, but it all seems lower than it did weeks ago. Like the ocean itself is shrinking...

[murchada]

Well. I am glad to hear that. Genuinely.

...But... I want you to know something, about if we somehow manage to bring you all back.

[she doesn't know if that's possible, but. for the sake of this chat.]

[necromants]

[Bring them back...]

Go on.

[He doesn't expect them to even consider bringing him back, but that's the sort of thing he likely shouldn't say while Seymour is presumably still in earshot, just in case. So he'll allow Cerejeira to continue before expressing his own thoughts.]

[murchada]

...If you come near Quark again, I will not hesitate to zap you right back into the grave. That's a promise.

[it isn't even said in anger. it's just matter of fact.]

[latinumsbetter]

[....oh. Okay.]

[necromants]

[...huh.]

You have my apologies for putting him in danger in the first place. I won't get near him, nor will I give you any reason to worry about him again.

[His word means less than nothing right now, but it's the best he can offer. A fair ask if they were to bring him back in some way, at least.]

[murchada]

...Good. We have that settled.

[she's sure the others have a lock on the people he actually killed, so she'll leave that be.]

Then... despite it all, I actually do hope you manage to improve. I would... like things to be better.

For everyone.

[necromants]

...You're full of surprises, Cerejeira. I'll try not to disappoint you.

[No guarantees as he is supremely bad at this, but it's not like he can go much lower than rock bottom now, right?]

[rockymountaindie]

—Wait, what the fuck'd he do to Quark?

[ IS IT TIME FOR THE FACE FLATTENING NOW??? ]

[necromants]

[lmao oh yeah he forgot to mention that, huh. whoops.]

[rockymountaindie]

[ YEAH YOU FUCKIN DID ]

[murchada]

He used him as a hostage. During the trial.

[rockymountaindie]

He what???

[ ROUNDS ON THE BITCH FORMERLY KNOWN AS ZVEI ]

[necromants]

[hahaha the bitch formerly known as zvei is in troubleeeeee]

I forgot to mention that... Yes, I did. I tried not to hurt him.

[He won't speak directly to Quark first just in case Quark Does Not Want To Deal With Him, but like, he's pretty sure he didn't do any serious damage? Hmm.]

[rockymountaindie]

You piece of shit, I outta hit you again. Didn't hate yourself enough not to endanger someone else, did ya?

[ he may be gearing up to do just that ]

[necromants]

[If Alex wants to, he's more than welcome to! Ivilezlei won't stop him.]

I hadn't realized that yet. I was still "Zvei" at that point. He freed himself around the time my memories were returned to me. Not that it excuses it - and I am sorry about it - but it was an action taken in self-defense.

[rockymountaindie]

[ ...yeah, all the living are gonna see that vision of alex punch the vision of ivilezlei. not at the face this time, it's the stomach. ]

Self-defense. Fuck off. You kill a buncha people and then talk about self-defense...

[necromants]

[OOF, he doubles over at the hit and stays down for a moment. He also opts not to say anything else, because there's really no way to explain his thought process there and have it make any sort of sense or actually be productive so he's just. Not going to. Ow.]

[catsgothistongue]

[Holding up the scoreboard again.

9.5!]

[sweetsynergy]

OH SELF-DEFENSE MY F-

[And then Alex throws the punch.]

...damn, nice form.

[taintedfayth]

[... you know what, go off, king. There will be no complaints out of Seymour.]

[catsgothistongue]

Vanity's the only one you can kinda call self-defense. Quark was only doing a body check you submitted to! Self-defense my ass!

[sweetsynergy]

Oh, ACTUALLY go hump an exhaust port, asshole.

[latinumsbetter]

Don't bother brusing your knuckles on him again. He's not worth it.

[as much as he IS touched by that.]

[rockymountaindie]

[ too late- ]

I'll punch him as much as I want, you're not my dad.

[murchada]

I think you should punch him again.
